A couple of weeks ago the Rational Response Squad had a debate with Kirk Cameron and Ray Comfort (the way of the master) about god.
I found this on youtube and want to know what you think about Brian’s (from the Rational Response Squad) closing remarks.

Also have a look at the rest of the debate to see what passes as scientific proof of god in the eyes of Ray Comfort and Kirk Cameron. You would think that they would have got theists who were intelligent to have this debate wouldn’t you?
Don’t judge that comment on the video above, you need to see the other clips.

I have written two new articles for the article page.
The first is Surprise Dell Takeover showing that even major companies can fall victim to the most unexpecvted things.
The second is An Interview With Yahweh which is pretty much what the title says. Lucky that I was here to explain it.

I have decided, rather than be a selfish grasping bastard, to put my story up on my website. Even though I could really do with the money, hmmm…..

No, I’ll be nice, or a bastard if you don’t like it but then again you could take the radical option of not reading it or would that be too sensible? Wow. I’ve managed to get into an argument with a (hopefully) imaginary person. And it only took 45 seconds. That is a remarkable achievement.

Anywho, I am not making you pay for it even though I really really (two of them this time) could use the money. So if you like it and see me walking about feel free to come up and give me some money as thanks. You can do so even if you don’t like my story, I’m that nice a person.

Find the first bit of the story here and please comment with possible names for the story because that would save me the effort of thinking up a name for myself. Cheers.

This church is run by Pastor Fred Phelps and his family calls themselves the most hated family in america. It’s not an exaggeration and it most certainly is justified.

The church consists of mainly the Phelps family and holds some of the most bigoted views that you could find.

They say that the abrahimic god has condemned america because it is, apparently, too nice to gay people. What with letting them live rather than killing them. However their problem is not just with homosexuals but with everybody who doesn’t agree exactly with their own incredibly narrow viewpoint on life.

They frequently protest at funerals, telling americans that they are going to hell. You would think that they would have some kind of point to doing this, most probably converting people to their own idiotic viewpoint or stopping people being gay. But no, when a man says “Hey! I also am against this homosexuality kinda thing.” they politely told him that he was going to hell.

For me what really makes this even more astounding is that they believe they are nice people and are going to heaven. Well obviously they’re going to heaven. They’re the only ones who took a stand against levels of testosterone during pregnancy. Surely God could have just made sure that the situation never arises.

“It was on my to-do list.” says God.
Bit late now God isn’t it.

Below is a clip from “The Most Hated Family In America”. Be prepared for some extreme bigotism.

I have removed this video because of its annoying habit to run whenever you go on the main site. If you wish to see it you can look it up yourself.

It’s people like this who make me wish you had to get a license to reproduce.

You may be expecting some tedious anecdote about how I lost a treasured item and finally found it after hours of searching. Well, sorry to disappoint you but I’d rather go on about how stupid that particular saying is.

It should be obvious to anyone that it will always be in the last place you look because once you have found the item in question, you stop looking. That’s all the looking that you are required to do. Just Until you find it.

But no. Apparently there are people who find their treasured item then think to themselves, “I enjoyed all of that fustrating and indeed rather monotonous searching so I think I’m going to search some more. Hmmmmm, I haven’t looked over there so I think I’ll look there now. My treasured item of choice can help me, in some way, look for itself when it happens to be in my hand.” Of course I’m not saying that these people actually go through these thoughts every time they look for something, after a few times it becomes habit. And some people can probably sum it up better than I can.

There is a second, more depressing option. That the people who carry on looking simply don’t know that they can stop. Imagine that you’re looking for the scissors and after about five minutes you find them. They were in the pancake drawer along for some reason with a silver spoon and a set of five cocktail umbrellas. As if this wasn’t confusing enough you have no idea what to do next, you’ve picked up the scissors and your mind’s gone blank. After a couple of minutes of you staring at a dark spot on a cupboard you have an idea of what to do - keep on searching. Of course you’re not going to find it again, you’re carrying it about. Obviously you shouldn’t have carried on looking. What you should do if you are one of the people described above is not have children. But then again if you are one of the people described you probably can’t read. Which means that it was pointless me talking at you (with assumes that they (or you) can actually have a conversation). Oh well.

Today I found out something that will surely rock you to your very bones. As opposed to any other sorts of bone that you may or may not possess.
This earth-shattering something is that there are people out there who don’t like cheese. And when asked why they simply reply “I just don’t.” Clearly this is not good enough.
Firstly I think I should clear up that I am not among the small number of people out there who have a severe cheese fetish. This will include filling a room with various types of cheese, including grated (very important), and rolling about in it, yelling at the top of their voice “Bad Cheese! Bad Cheese!” before losing themselves in a writhing fit of cheese inspired ectasy. The main problem with this condition is that I have probably made it up. Not too sure on that one. But I am most definitely not one of the Cheese Fetish People. Not now. Not ever.
Anyway I am sure that we are in agreement that there is not such thing as too much cheese but these non-cheesy fiends disagree and say that no cheese is too much. To fight them the only real course of action is to pelt them with babybels before forcing them into a room with furniture made out of cheddar and red leicester. Whilst they are in there they must be squirted with numerous varieties of squirty cheese before they lapse into a cheese-induced coma.

Or you could go for the second option and simply learn to live with it. Take your pick. I’m not fussy.

This article has been granted its own category which has been put in place to deal with all cheese related issues.

Sorry to keep going with the religious theme but I don’t think anyone could read this and not laugh. Also I got the title off the BBC website because I’m too lazy to think of my own title.

A friendship-building football match between Muslim and Christian clergy in Norway was called off after a row over the participation of women players.
Muslim Imams had refused to play against women because it went against their beliefs about close physical contact with the opposite sex.
But when the church decided to drop its women players, the priests’ team captain walked out in protest.
The game was meant to be an enjoyable end to a day-long conference in Oslo.
Members of the two faiths had been discussing ways of encouraging greater inter-faith dialogue at the “Shoulder to Shoulder” event.
‘Wrong interpretation’
Church of Norway spokesman Olav Fykse Tveit said they had learnt of the imams’ objections over the match two days before Saturday’s conference.
“But because we thought it would be a nice conclusion of the conference we didn’t want to call it off, so we decided to stage an all-men’s team game instead,” he said.
The decision outraged the women players in the Christian team, and prompted the captain to resign.
Just hours before the match, the church released a statement saying it had been called off.
“We realise now that it will be wrong to have a priest team without women,” the statement said.
“The reactions we have had today shows us that this is being interpreted as a gender-political issue. This is why we cannot go through with the soccer match.”
Mr Fykse Tveit said the outcome had not been solely negative.
“Both sides have learned to better understand our cultures and we have had an open discussion.”

This is a few days late but recently Johan Huibers built a replica of Noah’s Ark from the bible. His ark is only one fifth of the size though. He plans to sail round Holland in it teaching children about the bible. Because it is very important they know about fictional stories such as this one.

Curiously the size is only given in (presumably greek) cubits with 1 cubit being 45cm. The ark then is 150 cubits by 30 cubits by 20 cubits. In english most of us would say 67.5m by 13.5m by 9m. Assuming that each side is one fifth of the ‘actual’ length you get 337.5m by 67.5 by 45m.
Whilst this is very big it still is far too small to fit two of every animal on it and for them to still have room to move. Or be able to float - perhaps a slight problem with there being a flood. Maybe some animals were just very good swimmers.
Despite all this I’ve only got one question for Johan, how do you explain the dinosaurs?
Actually it’s two, would fish have been taken aboard seeing as they could swim?
