Must be feeling very secure to be on his back in the open like that.
How could anyone give this cat less than a five?
Ain't no body gettin' out this life alive. Hope he went with minimal pain.
Secular celebrations, including life transitions and how we commemorate them.
And yet, their priest waves and says "hi" when ever we meet. And only one of them has tried to get me to go to their church! None of them talks religious crap to me either (chickens!), and everyone in the village knows I'm an atheist.
Rich, I like you and Dave's suggestions the best.the best. Jstn, how about "God must hate amputees"? Seem quite correct to me.
The one that I painted on the back of my car, and got me called "the devil" by our local fundie cult (The Full Gospel Chur…
The priest was a Catholic, so I don't think it's all that surprising. Hell, check out what the Pope's ambassador to the US as been treating a sex abuse surviver - http://www.politicsdaily.com/2010/05/07/archbishop-sambis-bizarre-war-of-words-with-se…
LOL!
Good smoke always does that to me too, Rich!
I should note that the group I was part of at that time was a coalition of various types of communists, anarchists, and social activists. Calling them me "comrades" is just a simple way of labeling t…

- About Me
- I'm the last of eight children, and the first time I want to church was when I was four. The church was next to our house, and one Sunday morning my 6 year old sister and I paid them a visit and sang with them. They were not pleased with our singing talent and kicked us out, so we through mud balls down the isles. They then locked us out and, when the sermon was over, went next door to our place and complained to my father, who promptly told them to get the fuck off his property.
1968, when I was seven, was an election year in Canada, and my family was living in the city of Regina, capital of the province of Saskatchewan. There was a new young (relatively)and dynamic Liberal Party of Canada candidate for Prime Minister - Pierre Trudeau, who would become Canada's 28th, 29, 30th and 32nd Prime Ministers (1968 - 79, and 1980 to 84), and the longest serving. My father took me to met him at an election rally at the Regina legislature building, and I met the man briefly, but what I remember most of that wasn't meting Canada's next Prime Minister. I remember the stones that the Legislature building were made of - sedimentary rock laced with the fossils of Trilobite, clams and all sorts of odd extinct critters, and of my father explaining that they had lived in that area hundreds of millions of years ago, when the Canadian prairies were part of a seabed. No mere politician could match the awe that I felt that day. I thank my father and mother for having not infected my young mind with meme of religion, and for all of the trips to Badlands of Saskatchewan, Alberta, Montana, the Dakotas and the Rocky mountains, where I would look for fossils. The short sightedness of religion can't begin to compete with the wonder of the real history of our little blue ball.
My main hobby is machining (and blowing up small rockets -HA!), but I love to read books of science, with an emphasis on evolution and genes (Dawkin's "The Ancestor's Tale" is a fave, as is Bryan Sykes' "Seven Daughters of Eve").

I came on a little strong on my last blog post. I fact is, I'm really down on the fuckin' pope. I blame the bastard for helping rig the 2004 election to help install the incompetent, corporate stooge W. Bush.
If the pope stayed out of it, Kerry was way ahead. It would have been a different world now. W., with that stupid religious war impoverished the country. The evil he did will live on for decades.

- Good to hear from you, Mac. If you heard about my accident, I take back everything I said about Geico. So far they paid for everything, including chiropractic by this beautiful young lass whose husband is a tattoo artist. But she was great at 150 dollars a pop—all on Geico.
I'm finally getting a hip operation. My doc thinks that the operation was exacerbated by the accident. The SUV was insured for a quarter mil. That's big money here in Florida.
When I get the bread, maybe my kid and I can take a ride up to Canada. He really liked your rig and is thinking about being an over-the-road driver. He's 32 and has a no where job managing an auto parts warehouse.

- Hey, Mac. Been subscribed to Thunderf00t for a long while now. He's tucked away somewhere in my 400 subscriptions. I should really prune that list, a lot of them no longer make vids. Thanks for subscribing to my channel.

a real prick. Thanks how she got her name.
May God bless you and your family with a wonderful holiday. Whaaaaaaa. Did
I say that?

- Mac, Just this very minute I finished writing to Paul Krassner (the yippie) to sadly tell him that Lester is very sick. Paul was very active in the mj movement but didn't know Lester, as far as I know. They did a remote telecast of Lester at the NORML convention in Frisco last month. He's very weak.
He has squamous cell carcinoma and needs an operation, but he also has a rare Jewish-linked hemophilia that'll make the operation very risky.
I just spoke with him last week and he seems very chipper, telling me about the beautiful seasonal color changes of the woods.
Good to hear from you. Take care of your health; it's the most important thing.
Keep in touch,
Rich

- Mac, thanks for picking up Mirror Reversal. I think you'll have a few laughs, one reader said he laughed out loud a couple of times.
I'd be glad to discuss any issues or questions that arise. Hint: Wayne is a composite of the kids I grew up with.

- Mac, I got an idea. You can see I don't have much skill at setting up videos. Search on "endmeme?" I'm reading a book on the Dark Age and I'm pretty pissed about how the church killed great thinkers. Even if you said the world isn't flat, that was enough to make a burnt pretzel out of you. The church has completely gotten away with it.
The idea is we collaborate on a video. I’ll write the test and you put on the bells and whistles. Vanini, Bruno, Galileo, many others. Use my email Aristopus@comcast.net and we’ll discuss it.

Just be carefull... I had a similar discussion with my sisnlaw and it almost caused a big rift in my otherwise tightly nit family.
From the article Tommy cited.
"However, religious commentators have criticized Hawking's theorizing, saying he can never hope to explain what is essentially unexplainable."
Well doesn't that kind of invalidate their own "god" theory then? ;p
Anybody else read it? I love the basic premise, and being an atheist means I can appreciate the mythology and not get bent out of shape about the multiple deities.
Wyoming is better than the southeast, from what I've seen. It's still a solid red state, though. My big point was that there are no cities. The closest it has are Cheyenne and Casper, each of which are around 50,000 people.
The entire state barely…

I saw a video, or a blog post once that listed all the uncomfortable and illogical things that a person must do, according to Jesus' own words, in order to follow him. The list included hating your family, selling all your possessions, etc. I'm pret…
It's been almost a full day, and none of them have responded. I'm hoping that's the end of it, and they have bowed to my superior sophistry. ;-)
