101. 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?

102. Richard Dawkins Interview on TVOntario

Comment #181606 by TIKI AL on May 17, 2008 at 4:10 pm

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

They would have fit right in.

103. 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."

104. 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.

105. Richard Dawkins interviewed by John Humphrys on Cardinal Murphy O'Connor

Comment #178496 by TIKI AL on May 11, 2008 at 1:52 pm

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

It could have become quite nasty.

106. Bill Good Interviews Richard Dawkins

Comment #175281 by TIKI AL on May 5, 2008 at 5:04 am

Prior to listening to those callers I didn't think anyone living in Canada had the intellectual capability to vote for Bush twice.

107. How to reconcile Richard Dawkins?

Comment #172249 by TIKI AL on April 29, 2008 at 11:42 am

DDApe: I had to laugh at that one.

...or, "These Polish vegetables are too bland, let the invasion begin."

108. 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!

109. Richard Dawkins' secular army must be stopped. God is behind some of our greatest art

Comment #162754 by TIKI AL on April 17, 2008 at 12:01 pm

I think Ravenshill should be "Expelled" for this nonsense.

110. Rep. Davis: The Worst Person in the World

Comment #161780 by TIKI AL on April 15, 2008 at 4:44 pm

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.

111. 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.

112. Happy Birthday, Richard Dawkins!

Comment #150182 by TIKI AL on March 26, 2008 at 2:32 pm

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

Please keep the Dawkins birthdays coming. Cheers!

113. Richard Dawkins on The Alan Colmes Show

Comment #144996 by TIKI AL on March 17, 2008 at 6:47 am

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

The callers could have been in a Saturday Night Live skit. Unfortunately, I have to share Arizona with many of "them".

114. Interview with Richard Dawkins

Comment #124582 by TIKI AL on February 9, 2008 at 9:45 pm

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

The Creation Musuem
Petersburg, Kentucky

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!

115. Changing my Mind

Comment #107785 by TIKI AL on January 5, 2008 at 10:38 am

How would a JW feel if some people knocked on their door with copies of Pinnochio and tried to convince them that he was the true manger dweller?

116. 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?

117. Christmas with Christopher Hitchens

Comment #104835 by TIKI AL on December 29, 2007 at 3:43 pm

Was the Cuban boycott another one of God's brilliant ideas, like the Iraq War?

When Christians become extinct who will provide the humor of steamrollers squishing Dixiechicks CDs on the corporate news?

118. Interview with Richard Dawkins: On Christmas

Comment #100479 by TIKI AL on December 18, 2007 at 5:27 pm

How can they claim something that was a Pagan holiday to begin with?

119. Interview with Richard Dawkins: On Christmas

Comment #100450 by TIKI AL on December 18, 2007 at 4:11 pm

I wonder if Vine thinks you have to be a Neo-Nazi to listen to Wagner?

120. Atheists' sign sparks controversy

Comment #96447 by TIKI AL on December 10, 2007 at 2:48 pm

So the good townfolk of Whoville think THAT was in bad taste?

It's not like it was a nativity scene in front of a mock colleseum with the little manger dweller hanging from a lion's mouth.

121. 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.

122. Holy Nonsense

Comment #95274 by TIKI AL on December 7, 2007 at 8:34 pm

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.

123. Bad Faith Awards: Vote for the winner now

Comment #95050 by TIKI AL on December 7, 2007 at 8:47 am

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!

124. New Rules: A Religious Test

Comment #73585 by TIKI AL on September 25, 2007 at 11:15 am

Don't they have that "religion" check box so in the event you start going South, a priest can take time away from the alter boys to administer the "last wrongs"?

125. A Response to Jonathan Haidt

Comment #70064 by TIKI AL on September 14, 2007 at 12:49 am

Those old STD remedies facinate me.

So if Bush got the clap and a loyal bushie like Britney Spears jumped into a volcanoe, it would cure him?

126. The Fleas Are Multiplying!

Comment #70058 by TIKI AL on September 14, 2007 at 12:12 am

Don't touch them, those fleas have bubonic plaguearism.

127. Richard Dawkins on Hardtalk

Comment #58896 by TIKI AL on July 26, 2007 at 2:50 pm

Jeb used to close the taverns and stagger home to his trailer where Sabbath the cat was sleeping on the porch. Jeb thought it was a riot to pee on Sabbath who bolted leaving a yellow trail.

Jeb was suprised to come home one night and witness his smiling 4 year old already conducting urine absorbtion experiments on Sabbath's soggy fur.

They prayed together and went to bed. Coincidence?

128. Is there an Artificial God?

Comment #58077 by TIKI AL on July 23, 2007 at 10:04 am

Comment #23 is nothing but shameless ass kissing.

Please add my name to it.

Richard and the rest of you make it easier to scratch and claw thru the godbot's and chickenhawk's influence everyday in redstate Arizona.(at least we don't have a creation museum....yet)

129. Town Hall Seattle: God Is Not Great

Comment #57820 by TIKI AL on July 21, 2007 at 9:38 am

The slave that Jefferson allegedly had sex with could have been a blatent social climber or early version of Nicole Smith.

Perhaps multiple Satanic field hands forced Jefferson to have sex with her at machete point.

Or he could have merely tripped and fallen on top of her while excited.

The above have the same historical proof as saying he raped her. None

130. An Atheist Responds

Comment #56547 by TIKI AL on July 16, 2007 at 9:43 am

I don't believe in god and I don't believe in child molestation.

Anyone know if Hitchens has weighed in on the 660 million dollar sexual abuse settlement by the LA Catholic Church?

131. Sean Hannity with Christopher Hitchens

Comment #55523 by TIKI AL on July 11, 2007 at 12:02 pm

"Can't we just have a mutually respectable dialogue without resorting to name calling?"

... Sorry, but godbots like bush, cheney, rove, regency college grads hired for their religious views and evangelical voters have brought terrible times to the United States and the world.

The gloves are off. Stay in your tax-free church and out of the government. We don't want a theocracy.

132. Sean Hannity with Christopher Hitchens

Comment #55499 by TIKI AL on July 11, 2007 at 10:03 am

As an American I feel terribly embarassed for Ireland, who sent us the simian Hannity's ancestors.

Rats sporting the plague would have been less offensive.

133. Interview with Dan Dennett on Danish TV

Comment #54450 by TIKI AL on July 7, 2007 at 7:31 am

I don't believe in miracles on 34th street, Pennsylvania Ave, or anywhere else.

134. Interview with Dan Dennett on Danish TV

Comment #54439 by TIKI AL on July 7, 2007 at 5:28 am

"Live your life as if every day is the last. One day you will be right." ...sheepscarer (15.)

...no gods or green bananas in this house.

135. Christopher Hitchens and Al Sharpton

Comment #53320 by TIKI AL on June 30, 2007 at 7:43 pm

I like Al, but I wish he would stop believing in the theory of D-minus Design.

I like Christopher, but I wish he would stop trying to defend the war in Iraq.

136. Hitchens vs. Hitchens

Comment #51578 by TIKI AL on June 23, 2007 at 1:15 pm

Wow! Pan-Arabism, the Sharif of Mecca, the UK's role as instigator, the surrender of the Ottoman Empire and the fact that only 20% of Muslims come from Arab countries. Impressive, green one.

I once wrote an article on how the French Catholic Church was the root cause of the Vietnam War. That evil Cardinal Spelling had his hands in it too.

The Iraq War of choice was and is the worst "foreign policy" blunder in our short history. Period.

You and Hitchens can spin it all you like, but the hurricane season is coming and the National Guard is in Iraq.

137. His word: Attacking religion can seem like breaking a butterfly on a wheel

Comment #51520 by TIKI AL on June 23, 2007 at 8:36 am

"but surely the key thing about religion is that we have it and animals don't. That is because we have consciousness of death and they don't."

Tell that to a pitbull about to enter a bloody dog fighting ring for the last event of the day in South Phoenix, Arizona.

I did find his comments on bookshelf weight management helpful.

138. In the name of the Father

Comment #51517 by TIKI AL on June 23, 2007 at 8:09 am

"But how is it that the majority of the world's great philosophers, composers, scholars, artists and poets have been believers, often of a very devout kind?"

...Maybe they were in a closet walking on eggshells because they didn't want to be burned at the stake.

139. Hitchens vs. Hitchens

Comment #51513 by TIKI AL on June 23, 2007 at 7:43 am

"So you think that fighting religious extremists is a bad idea?"

...Secular Saddam fought a war with religious extremists in Iran for 8 years with the help of the US. (I love that picture of Rumsfeld shaking hands with him on a funding trip to Iraq.)

Bush admits to getting his Iraq marching orders from his "higher father".(And he didn't mean Bush I on MaryJane.) He has also funded faith based schools and vetoed 2 stemcell bills because he IS a religious extremist.

When is Bush going to catch Bin Laden? Or does he "think fighting religious extremists is a bad idea?"

140. Hitchens vs. Hitchens

Comment #51422 by TIKI AL on June 22, 2007 at 8:08 pm

The Iraq war is indefensible.

There will be less and less republicans on the war wagon as we approach the elections.

After the elections there will just be less republicans.

141. Interview with Richard Dawkins

Comment #51402 by TIKI AL on June 22, 2007 at 4:44 pm

"Knowing and feeling both come from the brain and the heart simply and wonderfully is just a pump."...(Happy Primate)

...It is comforting to know that in the event I receive an artificial heart I will retain my misanthropic leanings.

142. Hitchens vs. Hitchens

Comment #51400 by TIKI AL on June 22, 2007 at 4:24 pm

" An eagle may sometimes dive lower than a chicken, but a chicken can never reach the soaring height of an eagle" Marx was an eagle, though sometimes made some low dives. Rand was just a chicken. (Bonzai)

...and Bushco chickenhawks can swoop lower than both of them combined.

143. An Inquisition in science's name

Comment #51314 by TIKI AL on June 22, 2007 at 10:06 am

Thanks for the George Carlin link, Billy. We need him going door to door with Joe Peshi. No copies of the "Watchtower", just George on a rant and Joe with his baseball bat.
(98. Comment #51258 by BillySands on June 22, 2007 at 6:06 am)


To the few Marquis of Queensbury atheists on this thread:

Walking on eggshells inside of a closet for 2000 years has helped to produce the Bush Theocracy and the Cheney-Rove untouchable forth arm of the US government.

Damn the Godbots, full speed ahead.

144. Hitchens vs. Hitchens

Comment #51138 by TIKI AL on June 21, 2007 at 4:27 pm

Does anyone know if Peter also thinks the Iraq war was a stroke of chimpanic brilliance as Christopher does?

Could God formulate a foreign policy so stupid that even He couldn't find a way out?

145. An Inquisition in science's name

Comment #51094 by TIKI AL on June 21, 2007 at 12:36 pm

By his own admission this Manning character has claimed to have communicated with the dead. He could be dangerous and may even be a warlock.

Manning must be dragged to the nearest pond and be tested for flotation/redemption.

I pray to God he swiftly sinks for his own sake.

146. Interview with Richard Dawkins

Comment #50998 by TIKI AL on June 21, 2007 at 1:39 am

Elizabeth Hope, a devout evangelist, told the recantation whopper in a 1915 speech at an evangelical school in a town in Mass.USA 33 years after Darwin's death. It was refuted as pure fantasy by Darwin's children and other well documented eyewitness accounts of his death. Just google "Darwin's deathbed".

On the other hand, it is true that during his last hours on the cross Jesus recanted being God's son and rambled on in tongues about quantum mechanics while engaged in a masturbatory frenzy.

147. Richard Dawkins: Atheist

Comment #50929 by TIKI AL on June 20, 2007 at 1:28 pm

Yes, Richard, the chimp IS as stupid as he looks. Bush has just vetoed the 2nd stem cell bill of his 21st century Supreme Court appointed presidency. The sun revolves around the earth bill sailed thru untouched, however.

Rest easy, Godbots, your microscopic children are safe from the evil atheist scientists. The Bush Theocracy is alive and well. His presidential libarry will be in a wing of the creation museum in Kentucky.

148. Atheists: stand up and be counted

Comment #50530 by TIKI AL on June 18, 2007 at 3:40 pm

One of the problems we have here in the states is that an atheist is still equated by the godbots as also being a communist, which is a leftover from the cold war.

The Knights of Columbus helped promote national religion by having "under god" inserted in the pledge in the 50's.

It's going to take a long educational process to stop the brainwashing.

149. Religion - our maelstrom of ignorance

Comment #49416 by TIKI AL on June 11, 2007 at 10:21 pm

You guys are being too hard on yourselves.
Last time I checked, (2004), there were only 59 million morons in America.

Thank you all for the sane company(it helps), and thanks to Richard for the space to vent.

150. Religion - our maelstrom of ignorance

Comment #49381 by TIKI AL on June 11, 2007 at 5:47 pm

Huckabee on Tweety(Chris Matthews/Hardball)today: "I don't think an American family having dinner around their table cares if their president believes in evolution or not."

This one is a real moron, folks. Beware!
