Because religion is laughable

Richard Dawkins on Religion

What worries me about religion is that it teaches people to be satisfied with not understanding

Jesus, Help Me!

The silent heavens, so deaf to our frantic pleas, almost as if there were nothing there.

God prefers unbelievers

I'm starting to prefer the ones who don't believe in me.

Thought and Prayers

Instead of sending thoughts and prayers, why not do something useful?.

Sisters of St Francis Whorehouse

 Funny Catholic Nun Whorehouse Prostitution Joke Picture

I had been driving all day and was starting to flag, when suddenly a sign flashed by: "SISTERS OF ST. FRANCIS HOUSE OF PROSTITUTION 10 MILES".  I attributed it to my tired imagination and gave it no further thought.  However, soon I saw a second sign: "SISTERS OF ST. FRANCIS HOUSE OF PROSTITUTION 5 MILES".

All tiredness forgotten, and my interest piqued, I accelerated, and soon found myself in the parking lot of a large stone building.  A plaque next to the front door read: "SISTERS OF ST. FRANCIS".  I got out the car and rang the bell.

An old nun in a long black habit answered the door. "What may we do for you, my son?"

"Well," I replied, "I saw the signs alongs the highway, and wondered if we could do business."

"Certainly," replied the nun.  "Please place $100 in the cup, then go through the large wooden door at the end of the hallway."

I placed the money in the cup with mounting excitement, walked quickly down the dark hallway, and slipped through the wooden door, pulling it shut behind me.

As the door clicked behind me, and my eyes adjusted, I realised that I was back in the parking lot.

I turned in dismay, and then saw a sign on the door:

GO IN PEACE.
YOU HAVE JUST BEEN SCREWED
BY THE SISTERS OF ST FRANCIS
SERVES YOU RIGHT, SINNER

Christian Denominations

Funny Emo Philips Christian Baptist Denominations Joke Photo Caption - Once I saw this guy on a bridge about to jump. I said, "Don't do it!" He said, "Nobody loves me." I said, "God loves you. Do you believe in God?" He said, "Yes." I said, "Are you a Christian or a Jew?" He said, "A Christian." I said, "Me, too! Protestant or Catholic?" He said, "Protestant." I said, "Me, too! What franchise?" He said, "Baptist." I said, "Me, too! Northern Baptist or Southern Baptist?" He said, "Northern Baptist." I said, "Me, too! Northern Conservative Baptist or Northern Liberal Baptist?" He said, "Northern Conservative Baptist." I said, "Me, too! Northern Conservative Baptist Great Lakes Region, or Northern Conservative Baptist Eastern Region?" He said, "Northern Conservative Baptist Great Lakes Region." I said, "Me, too! Northern Conservative Baptist Great Lakes Region Council of 1879, or Northern Conservative Baptist Great Lakes Region Council of 1912?" He said, "Northern Conservative Baptist Great Lakes Region Council of 1912." I said, "Die, heretic!" And I pushed him over. - Emo Philips

I love this Emo Philips joke so very much.  I think it is particularly funny, because like many good jokes, it hits a nerve: the fact that even where the Truth is concerned, we humans are a divisive lot.  We love to gather around in like-minded ignorance and hate anything that is different.

So what did God do?  He planted the seed of an alleged Truth in the minds of a bunch of ignorant goatherders, told them they him they were chosen, and relied upon a process of Chinese whispers to communicate this to us.

The Bible is the inerrant Word of God, they all say, but since there is no divinely inspired copy/translation process and the thousands of manuscript fragments contain a fair number of discrepancies, the phrase becomes "inerrant in the autographs (originals)".  Except we don't have those.  The inerrancy of "God's word" is an assumption.

And we've not even started on the correct process of Biblical interpretation, or hermeneutics, if you want to give it an air of respectability.

The short of it is that we have ended up with hundreds of Christian denominations, all sincerely seeking the truth in Scripture and yet all coming to quite different conclusions on important matters such as whether the Holy Communion should be in one cup or many.

"Oh, but we agree on the fundamentals!"

Think again.  If you weren't baptised as an adult via full water immersion, say the Churches of Christ, then you are not saved. And if you're Catholic, there is no point even pitching up at the Judgement Seat.

Why Does God Allows Suffering?

Funny Why God Allows Suffering Joke Picture
Funny Why God Allows Suffering Joke Picture - God, why do bad things happen to good people?  Because it's funny!  So, when my son fell off that bridge - Hahahahahahahahaha
For those of you who don't know the Bible story of Job, Job was a faithful servant of God; so much so, that when God and Satan were having a chat one day, he gets picked by God to demonstrate that Job is not (as Satan suggests) only faithful because he is blessed and protected by God.  God gives Satan permission to inflict quite a lot of suffering on the poor chap (including the killing of his family, the stripping away of all his wealth, and giving him boils.)  But Job perseveres and refuses to curse God.

So God wins the bet, and Job is re-blessed with more than he had originally.  Everybody's happy, apart from me.  This is twisted!  Job should be berated for his irrational belief in God's goodness -the God who allowed the suffering for the sake of a silly bet that arguably an omniscient being should have known the outcome of anyway.

Suffering exists.  God exists.  Something's not right.

Either God wills the suffering, and can't be considered loving in any normal sense of the word, or he doesn't, but is somehow powerless to fix it.

Christians will generally blame the Devil or humans for the suffering inflicted, and go a little fuzzy around tsunamis and stuff, but either way God is not absolved.  This is his experiment.  He knew what would happen, that billions of innocent animal species and humans would suffer.

But somehow it is worth it. He is worth it.

Bollocks to that.

Blind Faith Magazine Creationism

I have a lot of respect for Creationists.

Yes, you read that right.  For all their pseudo-scientific crazy talk, at least they are being consistent.  Let me explain.

There is simple rule of thumb when reading the Bible: take the text at face value, unless there's an obvious reason not to.  But this 'unless' is where the problems start.

Sometimes, like with Psalms, the language is clearly intended to be poetic, so not everything being said actually means what you think. For example, the psalmist doesn't actually think the earth has four corners.  Well actually, he probably does, but being divinely inspired, he doesn't really.  Well God doesn't. Anyway, I digress...

Then we have Prophecy, also known as poetry on drugs, where the writing can be full of very strange imagery.  Taking anything literally in the prophetic chapters is a risky move indeed, as we have seen with the numerous failed End of World pronouncements.

However, most of the rest of the Bible certainly reads like it was intended as historical narrative, and for the most part seems to correctly coincide with known historical events (miracles aside).

But this makes the Genesis account a real problem. It reads like the rest, and there is no literary reason to take Genesis at anything but face value.  In fact, both Jesus and Paul refer to it as such.

However, the facts clearly clash quite badly with generally accepted observed scientific evidence, leaving the Bible student with two equally unpalatable options: (i) use the metaphor wildcard and don't worry about the Jesus-Paul references, which is not good, because, well, Jesus and Paul; or (ii) you become a Creationist and fight the scientific evidence to the death, and become laughing stocks of the world.

I can respect that sort of dedication, misguided though it be.

Funny Religious Logic Joke Picture - If P is false, I will be sad.  I do not wish to be sad.
It's a funny, clever,  but sad cartoon, and is the nub of the issue of religion: religion determines reality based on wishes, not facts.  "Faith is believing what you know ain't so." (Mark Twain)

I tried for years as a seeker to bolster my fragile faith with books on Christian Apologetics such as Josh McDowell's "Evidence That Demands A Verdict", and I would suggest that a fairly decent case could be made for all of it, except for one thing:

It wouldn't need enough.

"Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence." (Carl Sagan)

And the claims are fabulous indeed.

Too fabulous to be credible by any sensible person who is honest enough to put aside hopes of an afterlife.
