Dog-piss Jesus

If you’re looking for proof the human race is doomed for failure, look no further than this story: for those of you unfamiliar with Spanish, the locals in the video have all crowded to see what they believe is the latest apparition of Jesus; a rather large pee stain left by a dog with a significantly large bladder. As you can see from the footage, some of these confused idiots are praying and even touching the stain, convinced their Savior is trying to send them a message of hope. What kind of a lame ass God needs to communicate through the urine of a canine? Religious people are weird…

Jesus has issues

Thank you so much for everything Jesus; cancer, parasites, and genetic diseases that slowly waste people away are fucking awesome. Also, thanks for arbitrarily killing innocent people, especially if they aren’t me

Family sees Jesus in Marmite lid

It’s not enough we have to put up with the fact that Marmite (also known as Vegemite) exists; we now have to deal with some of its fans thinking the face of Jesus has appeared on one of its lid. Look, if there is a god and he’s trying to communicate with you, do you really think he’s going to pop up in what is arguably the most disgusting substance known to man? I know I’ve got a lot of Aussie and British fans who can’t get enough of that yeasty bullshit, but even you have to admit how gross that crap really is (it’s a by-product of beer brewing, and if you’ve ever seen how beer is made, you probably wouldn’t drink it). Marmite reminds me of the goo that accumulates in my sink if I leave the dishes in there for a few days.

I don’t know what’s worse: moronic Christians who think a Marmite Cat Stevens is in fact Jesus, or the sticky black substance actually exists. I’m torn…

Larry David on Religion

Oh Larry, if religious people DID keep their insane opinions to themselves, then I’d be out of a job, and the world would be a very different place. I guess instead of making fun of religionists, I would have to get out in the real world and get a 9-5 job…oh the horror!

No more nails!

No More Nails: eliminates the cruel need to have someone hammered to a cross for the supposed sin of a man who never existed!

The Thinking Atheist takes on Noah’s Ark

These guys don’t pull any punches, and they do quality work. If you haven’t signed up to their YouTube channel, think about doing so now to avoid missing out!

Ricky Gervais talks about ‘Invention of Lying’ atheist subplot

I haven’t put much effort on the podcast into hiding the fact that I thought The Invention of Lying was a bore of a flick despite a pretty amusing anti-religion side plot: one of the lies the main character tells is that everyone goes somewhere awesome after death, which then led to lies about God, rules, and all that jazz. Hilarity ensues (or so I thought it would).

I’ve heard many atheists enjoyed the movie off the strength of this part alone, so if you’re stuck on a weekend with nothing better to watch, go for it! For now though here’s part of an interview with the movie’s writer/producer/director/star and of course atheist scum Ricky Gervais talking about the religious backlash the movie received:

There’s a boldness and strength of idea underpinning The Invention Of Lying that you don’t seem to get in the vast majority of Hollywood comedies. Do you think that’s why the film struggled to find an audience in America?

Well, I think everything has to fight hard to get an audience in America.

I think the reason why critics and websites didn’t like it was obviously the religious element. I think some people felt cheated that they weren’t warned. But I don’t know what you do with that. Whether I should put a warning ‘contains atheist material’. I don’t know. Strange, really.

One reviewer said that ‘I don’t know why Ricky Gervais feels the need to shove his atheism down our throat’. I thought, woah, well this is one film that dares to presume the lack of God, whereas every other film I’ve ever seen presumes a God. There are door-to-door Bible salesmen. It’s taught in schools as fact. Children are indoctrinated with it from the age of four. And I’m the one shoving the ideas! Surely, we can have a discussion about it?

It seems a little bit unfair. And I don’t think it is atheist propaganda, in a world where no one has ever had the ability to lie, as an atheist, to suggest I believe that religion was started by man. And I put that in a film. I’d be a hypocrite to say anything else.

Did you sense that reaction was going to come?

I did. But I didn’t think that intelligent people would be so worried about it.

I tell you why I think that the film is actually more subversive than most other films. It’s because it was couched in quite a sweet Hollywood rom-com. It wasn’t a dark indie film that was a terrible existential damning sort of film. It was a really sweet, uplifting Hollywood rom-com. It just happened to be a film where there was no God.

I’d still put the main blame on unlikable characters and the underdevelopment of the ‘society where no one can lie’ concept. Plus I think the movie was buried by the studio as well, but who knows if that was because of the religious nose tweaking or because it was just kinda weak. But Gervais has some solid points: Who’s shoving what down who’s throat, exactly? And why are religious people so sensitive that a single movie with an atheistic aspect is considered so shove-tastic?

Gotta love the Onion

With all the talk of abortions in the wake of the news, CBS apparently can’t keep their fucking nose out of it, and the Onion comes out with this. Man, I wish I was as funny as them!

Adam Carolla on religion and atheism

Here we have comedian Adam Carolla on why he’s an atheist. Listening to this guy, I’m actually somewhat reminded of my own podcast (hopefully he won’t do this too often, or else I’m out of a job!)

Classic pranks

What do you get when you include Fresh Prince of Bel-Air lyrics and Star Wars references in a Christian call-in show? Pure win, that’s what!

Isn’t religion great?

I seriously hope this was totally scripted, otherwise it’s pretty messed up. I didn’t find it particularly funny; I was more sad and angry no one on this stupid radio show commented on the fact this girl’s parents are a bunch of xenophobic jackasses. I’ve heard from some of my Jewish friends about the way some parents pressure their kids to marry within their religion, often saying crazy shit like “if you don’t marry a Jew you’re finishing Hitler’s work” or other such nonsense. In the age of cultural and ethnic diversity, such a strong reaction could only be possible through the divisive power of religion. Thanks for proving once again why your archaic beliefs are completely incompatible with modern society; you make a better case than I ever could.

O Holy Night!

Hey, remember this post I put up a few months back? Well, since Christmas is coming up, I have an excuse to put it up again. You can’t have a merry Christmas without playing this at your holiday party. Guaranteed to get a shitload of laughs, especially if the audience is filled with “Christmas cheer”.

I knew it: Pokemon IS evil!

If there’s any doubt as to the Satanic nature of Pokemon, I’d sure like to hear it. I’m just glad I was too old to fall into that “collect them all” insanity every kid was going nuts about. Of course, I don’t think I ever hated it as much as this fucking guy. You’d think the cartoon was forged in the fires of Hades with the vitriol he reserves for it!
