If miracles don't exist, how did Bush become president two times?

2. Degrees of religion

Comment #206126 by TIKI AL on July 8, 2008 at 6:02 am

Should a masochist follow the golden rule?

3. Churches' secret talks to stop gay surge

Comment #205750 by TIKI AL on July 7, 2008 at 6:56 pm

Thanks to the evangelicals extensive research we know that Katrina was sent by god to punish New Orleans gays for having outrageous parades and too much "fun" in general.

I await their results for the cause of the 500 year flood in the 'mercan midwest.

Too many gay Iowa farmers?
Strait farmers milking cows while thinking about Dolly Parton?
Iowa voting for Obama who is pro choice?
Erotic use of corncobs?

Why Lord? Why have you forsoaken us?

4. Teaching Evolution in Mexico: Preaching to the Choir

Comment #205715 by TIKI AL on July 7, 2008 at 5:50 pm

Don't knock a Mormon orgy unless you've tried one.

At 6 wives each they can get pretty kinky.
Just make sure they pay for the food and near-beer.

"10 commandment" condoms are always a big hit.

5. Teaching Evolution in Mexico: Preaching to the Choir

Comment #205672 by TIKI AL on July 7, 2008 at 4:04 pm

The "double glazers" see the "NO SALES PLEASE!!" sign and don't ring the bell.

When I asked the Mormons if they saw the sign, they informed me that it didn't apply to religion.

That's when I said "And I suppose you think that the earth is only 6,000 years old, too!"

As I listened to them drive down the block with the melodious strains of "The Flight of the Bumblebee" eminating from their bicycle spokes, I heard one of them proclaim "He's the devil! He's the devil!".

6. Teaching Evolution in Mexico: Preaching to the Choir

Comment #205661 by TIKI AL on July 7, 2008 at 3:40 pm

Perhaps the 3 Mormon tykes in my driveway had 18 wives between them besides thinking the earth is a youngster. Who knows which group they belong to.

When they left they were puzzled by several bible contradictions I threw out out there, but what really blew there young minds was when I positioned numerous cards and clothespins in their bicycle spokes to play "The Flight of the Bumblebee".

7. Teaching Evolution in Mexico: Preaching to the Choir

Comment #205512 by TIKI AL on July 7, 2008 at 11:55 am

Last month a Mormon pack of 3 well dressed and very polite teenage boys on bikes rang the bell and offered to do a good deed for me here in Tempe, Arizona.

I asked them some fundamental questions and they informed me that the earth was indeed 6,000 years old, so I asked them if they would bike to the grand canyon and count the layers for me in an effort to clear this "mystery" up.

8. The Boundaries of Belief

Comment #205125 by TIKI AL on July 6, 2008 at 4:09 pm

If you interview 35,000 Joe Blows off the street, more than five percent of them will try to knock you down and steal your wallet.

85% of that 5% were raised in Christain homes.

9. Prayer refusal pupils 'disciplined'

Comment #205114 by TIKI AL on July 6, 2008 at 3:23 pm

mordacious1: Please wear a mask when you paint your jeep. There is a danger of getting extremely high and "talking to god".

Bush got the Iraq invasion orders while spraying waterproofing on his shoes.

10. The Boundaries of Belief

Comment #205087 by TIKI AL on July 6, 2008 at 2:19 pm

Was THIS question on the "survey"?

"How long have you attended church and PRETENDED to believe in "God" and the Bible in order to gain access to a social network that would help your business, gain and keep employment or get you elected to public office?"

11. Prayer refusal pupils 'disciplined'

Comment #204673 by TIKI AL on July 5, 2008 at 1:33 pm

Too bad young Catholic students didn't question the priest's "pull down your pants and bend over for prayer" directive.

12. When too much Rapture is barely enough

Comment #204668 by TIKI AL on July 5, 2008 at 1:20 pm

"Also, where does everyone get the white robes from? Do you buy them or does jesus provide them?" (Apathy personified)

I have read many stories about con-godbots setting rapture dates and selling ascension robes with the date embroidered on them.

When the day passes and nothing happens, they set another date and whip up some new robes.

godbot on godbot crime.

thewhitepearl, If my grandfather told me that, I would have gone to "Looney Tunes" for tongues content. Would "a ba dee, a ba dee, a ba dee, that's all folks!" on a loop have satisfied him?

Comment #204636 by TIKI AL on July 5, 2008 at 12:14 pm

"I used to be terrifed of the concept of the rapture." (thewhitepearl)

When I was three I was saying THIS gem before beddy bye:

"Now I lay me down to sleep, I pray the Lord my soul to keep.
If I should die before I wake, I pray the Lord my soul to take."

When I turned five I called "bullshit" and gave my Mother a lecture on child abuse.

If the rapture was really coming, Walmart would be selling ascension robes like hotcakes.

When the sacred separation of pump and prayer is violated the end times are near.

Would'nt rain dancers be more suited for this?

18. New Zealand man sells his soul to 'Hell'

Comment #203821 by TIKI AL on July 3, 2008 at 5:52 pm

George Bush sold his soul during that brief period when the 2000 TV election returns coverage flashed Gore as the winner.

Can we sue the devil for the past 7.5 years?

19. Obama Wants to Expand Role of Religious Groups

Comment #203815 by TIKI AL on July 3, 2008 at 5:15 pm

OK, so republicans are corporate whores, and democrats are only corporate lap dancers.

But I do think if you hold your nose and vote for Obama we just might get a couple of actual human beings on the supreme court.

Under the Obama faith plan we could open a soup kitchen where you have to walk down a long hall filled with evolution exhibits to get to the chicken noodle.

Statues of Darwin, Dawkins, and George Carlin could "grace" the entrance.

Comment #195747 by TIKI AL on June 18, 2008 at 6:27 pm

I wonder if governor Bobby agrees with the Chuck Norris quote, "If I were president I would tatoo an American flag with "In God We Trust" on the forehead of every atheist."

Between Bush, Cheney, Jindal, and Norris, I feel like the US is turning into monkey island.

And then there was all of the "Tim Russert is in heaven" mumbo jumbo I had to listen to watching his wake today.

"One wonders what kind of a hospice he works in and, assuming it is not a specifically Christian one, whether he uses the opportunity to proselytise to the patients there." (epeeist)

Great point. A twelve step death program for a captive audience. No Jesus ...no heaven and NO HOT CHOCOLATE!

Actually a small step from the "no Jesus ...no soup or sobriety" programs that have been around forever.

Think anyone puts him in their will for showing them "the way"?

Comment #194412 by TIKI AL on June 16, 2008 at 6:17 pm

ketch 22: "My journey is a joke to you?"

A real side splitter to the point that if this were a GOP blog I would suspect you might be a site traffic increaser.

If you were on a real "journey" you would actually listen to and at least consider some of the excellent points made in earnest here.

Comparing your journey to a trip from San Fran to New York, you ran out of gas on the Golden Gate. (an excellent place to hone flying skills)

24. Saving Us from Darwin

Comment #193964 by TIKI AL on June 16, 2008 at 8:49 am

Wow! Too bad ketch22 didn't post that whopper #86 first. Would have saved some time and effort, no?

It reminded me of a lady who called me about a couch I was selling, and after asking 30 questions about it said, "You don't have a cat, do you? I'm deathly allergic to them."

We had a cat.

At long last the only real truth can be taught!

One designer could never have created all of this bounty. There are two, Twit and Twat, and they move from one human host to another to monitor and fine tune their masterpiece.

They currently reside in Pamela Anderson's natural breasts.

That should give the would be "Deliverence" cast members something to nibble on.

28. Richard Dawkins Interview on TVOntario

Comment #181868 by TIKI AL on May 18, 2008 at 1:51 pm

Is it possible that the "panel" members have merely found "jobs" that allow them to laugh all the way to the bank?

Or are they really delusional victims of generational brainwashing that I should pity?

It would have been nice to have someone on the "panel" representing Voo Doo doctrine.

They would have fit right in.

30. Richard Dawkins Interview on TVOntario

Comment #181452 by TIKI AL on May 17, 2008 at 8:46 am

How utterly embarassing to have a major ADD attack on TV, insert Richard Dawkins name by mistake, and lose your entire second sentence.

What he tried to say was:

"George Bush is not a deep thinking person. Without religion he would have been unable to communicate directly with God to receive the most brilliant foreign policy ever enacted by the United States of America."

31. Richard Dawkins discusses Einstein's new letters

Comment #180007 by TIKI AL on May 14, 2008 at 5:15 am

Perhaps Einstein wanted to remain somewhat foggy on religion to prevent potential funding problems by godbots.

God bless the Catholic church for not applying "reason" to the inquisition.

It could have become quite nasty.

35. Richard Dawkins and Bill Maher

Comment #164723 by TIKI AL on April 20, 2008 at 3:39 pm

HBO's sponsors pressured them to make Bill Maher apologize for saying that the Pope was a Nazi on his show last week.

So he said Friday on "RealTime" that when he said that the Pope was a Nazi that he was wrong, and that the Pope was merely in the Hitler Youth, and swore allegiance to Hitler, which was worse.

He also stood by and repeated his statement that if the Pope was a CEO of a day care facility, and that much abuse took place, he would be in jail.

Nice "apology", Bill!

UPDATE: On tuesday's "Countdown" Keith did a 180 and named the atheist Sherman as "worst person" for using the word "negroes" in an article about the Davis incident.

So are we back in the catbox? I bet he got a zillion E-mails from the godbots.

38. Richard Dawkins and Bill Maher

Comment #159714 by TIKI AL on April 13, 2008 at 12:16 am

I thought Richard did a great job and added some much needed class to the program without appearing supercillious.

Bill's "don't bend over in the rectory" rant on the Pope was priceless.

39. Happy Birthday, Richard Dawkins!

Thanks for helping us non-godbots in Tempe Arizona retain our sanity.

Please keep the Dawkins birthdays coming. Cheers!

I hope the proposed transition from the church to the museum excludes the Creation Museum.

John may have actually spent TOO MUCH time in a museum.

I personally think "John" was a studio shill calling from the stations broom closet.

But just in case he IS real: Hey John, they let you ride the dinos in the Garden of Eden there!

43. Changing my Mind

Comment #106943 by TIKI AL on January 3, 2008 at 6:01 pm

When the dreaded bible clutching godbots appear at our door, I tell them in a hushed voice that some people pretending to be Mormons just last week invaded a home down the street and raped and robbed the woman who lives there, and that if I were them I would pick another neighborhood as the people all come to the door now with .44 magnums clutched in white knuckles with their teeth clenched.

Too cruel?

48. Holy Nonsense

Comment #95355 by TIKI AL on December 8, 2007 at 5:57 am

Neither party is God free, but the republicans have embraced and pursued the evangelicals for votes, pushed for faith-based programs, prayer in schools, and toe stubbing 5 ton, 10 commandment monuments on the court house steps. A republican administration put god on our money and the pledge.

Lesser of 2 evils. A no brainer for now.

Willard "the Rat" Romney burrowed out a deeper hole on CNN:

"The speech was NOT political, it was about keeping religion in the public square."

Not political? Really??? At this point in the campaign he pees politics! What a slimeball liar. And I agree with Hitch, Goober Godbot(Huckleberry Thin) is just as bad. At least Jim Nabors could sing.

Chuck is backing the ultimate Goober Godbot, Mike Huckabee(GOP candidate for pres and Baptist minister) and is in his campaign commercials.

Mitt "Mormon" Romney said in his big speech on religion yesterday that you must "have religion to be free". Oh, the stupidity!
