Christians invent new alternative to Halloween: Jesus Ween!

Believe it or not this is not a Poe.

 

Hey, Christians! Are you worried that Halloween, with its party atmosphere and costumed witches and spooks, is too pagan for you and your family? Well, fuhgeddaboudit! Now there's a brand new Christian way to celebrate October 31: Jesus Ween!
 
And it's not about scaring the bejeezus out of kids with hellfire sermons or tours of gory hell-houses either. That's old school. This is the new, kinder, gentler, tech-friendly Christianity we're talking about. They hold seminars! They even have their own website, Twitter account and Facebook page!
 
More here.

Fans of the band "WEEN" have been flaming the crap out of the jesusween facebook page for weeks. Funny stuff.

These people could suck the joy out of something as simple as admiring a beautiful sunset!

Halloween (all hallows eve) was a Xtain creation in the first place (as part of their scare the shit out of the faithful program).  They are really a sad bunch of stupid - dumb as a box of rocks but sad.

This happens every year, Christians try to take control of it, and produce some lame alternative that misses the point.

JesusWeen... because I totally DON'T think of Jesus's ween when I see that phrase.

I don't think of Jesus's ween when I see that phrase either. I think of the lack of jdgment and the divorcement from reality his religion engenders in his followers.

There are just so many places to go with Jesusween in terms of ridicule.  We need an atheist late night talk show host for these things.

Pope's 'exorcism' caught on film video

Posted by Debra Stevenson on May 21, 2013 at 2:37pm 0 Comments

There is a video of the Pope's 'exorcism' caught on film.  The man isn't demon possessed, there are likely no 'real' demons.  He's just delusional and doesn't want to accept personal responsiblity for his own behavior for his own dysfunctional life.

There is an ad that reads ' Do you support 'traditional' marriage? Vote Now"!  .

 

 

No, I don't support 'traditional' marriage because there is no such thing. I support heterosexual and same-sex couples marry each other legally , yes.  'Traditional' marriage promoters largely do not believe that heterosexual women are co-equal to their husbands.  Their only purpose in 'traditional' marriage is to sexually satisfy their husbands if they can and raise children and do all…

i've got no problem with everyone saying "merry christmas" on christmas day.  however, they've turned it into an entire holiday season where it lasts a month or more.  in those situations it should be perfectly acceptable to say "happy holidays" or call it a…

My first funeral as an atheist

Posted by Two Cult Survivor on May 21, 2013 at 11:30am 0 Comments

I posted the bulk of this on another thread, but wanted to add some context separately.

I finally confronted my faith and embraced the fact of my atheism late last August, 2012. Days after I revealed my "epiphany" to a few friends who knew me from another message board, my sister died from Lou Gehrig's Disease (which pissed her off because she hated catching a disease from someone she never f---ed).

THAT was my sister, understand? She was a beautiful, life-loving, potty-mouthed…
