All My Rowdy Friends Have Settled Down

All My rowdy friends have settled down ....... AND TURNED RELIGIOUS!!!!!!!!!!!!

What the hell happens to people when they get older? Are they all afraid to die or something? Did they just reach a point in life where they thought "Hmmm, I'm getting older, I better get My shit together with God!"

I have yet another friend who apparently has gone 'Bible' on Me. Yeah, someone who I could call up and bullshit with, joke around about stupid stuff, and even make a couple dirty jokes now and then. But not anymore .. now I'll get scorned for offending Him. Really?? I've known this prick for over 15 years .. and all of a sudden God came into His life and changed Him? BULLSHIT!!!

It's strange, the older I get the more I want to know the TRUTH about stuff. But it seems like the older other people get, they just want to fall into the pattern of what everyone else does. I guess everybody else is worried about being such a good person here on earth because they believe in the fairytale that they are going to live forever in the next life. Well I sincerely think God will be able to see through the bullshit of 'acting good now just to get a reward later' but what the hell do I know?

I guess each one of us has a choice to live any way we want, and for that I'm happy to be in the country we're in. The part that pisses Me off is that FACTS AND LOGIC overwhelming conclude that an invisible space daddy does NOT exist!!!!!!!!! YES ... there MAY be a creator out there ... but NO, you are not having a personal relationship with it. Nor did it send His Son down one day to die on a cross!!!! If there is a magical creator out there, NONE OF US have the slightest frickin' clue about Him, nor does He seem to give a shit about intervening in our personal lives, nor can you pray to 'it' and expect an answer!!!!!!!!

I predicted awhile back that all My friends would eventually fade out to next to nothing .. and sure enough it's coming true. Granted a big chunk of them finds Me too offensive and just a plain prick. Even still, a lot of them are just 'too busy' in their lifestyles to keep up on being friends, or have 'found GOD' and so friendships become second place I guess. Well, at any rate, at least I can say what I always say .. People are fucking stupid!!!! Because if your life is too busy because of God, or because of work, or because of your hectic lifestyle, then your living a very stupid life. Which is why I've disciplined Myself over the past couple years to just shut out the rest of the world and be happy with My dog. A good dog is all any real man needs in life anyway!!

So all you 'past friends' out there who now spend your days talking to thin air ... good luck to you. I predict that well over half of you will be right back in the gutter with Me in a short time, and the other half will go on and create a God in your head to get you through the rest of your life. I guess maybe it's a good thing, because anyone who needs to create a delusional entity in their heads to get by in life is probably not someone I could have stimulating conversation with anyway.

ConfusLes

ConfusLes think: I wonder if God wonders where He came from?

Why believing in God is dangerous.

'NUFF SAID !!

More damning evidence

So the 'bible thumpers' out there think the world is 6000 years old, and that about 4000 years ago God flooded the world and Noah and family were the only human survivors.

Well now there are plenty of reasons to show that this story is complete bullshit, but I'll just dwell on one of them.

How about DNA and the gene pool? You see, science can look at different generations of people today and actually measure the changes in the gene pool from people. For instance, they can measure a Great Great Grandpa, a Great Grandpa, a Grandpa, a Father, and a Son .. and actually see the extremely small changes in the DNA with each passing generation. This is what's called evolution! Small changes in things over time!

NOW ... if you take all the diverse population of people on the earth today from all walks of life and from all four corners of the earth, you have a huge gene pool to deal with. And to 'bottleneck' all that into ONE FAMILY just 4000 years ago leads you to one conclusion. IMPOSSIBLE!!!

IT IS NOT POSSIBLE TO HAVE THE VASTNESS OF THE GENE POOL THAT WE HAVE TODAY IF IT WAS SHRUNK TO 1 FAMILY ONLY 4000 YEARS AGO!!!!!!!!!!

Did you get that creationist???? Does is sink in your head yet???? This is a testable, plausible, demonstrable, provable scientific process that not only CAN be done .. but HAS been done!! Nothing could survive that much extreme change in the DNA sequence in that short of period of time!!! I just does NOT work! End of story. AMEN!!!

Papal Infallibility

Papal Infallibility - basically means the the Pope, and the Catholic church are NOT capable of making a mistake. Can you imagine this? To be so arrogant that you have the balls to say that it is impossible for you to make a mistake, and that whatever the Pope says must be the word of God, therefor it cannot be questioned. It's truly amazing .. it really is.

As you may know, I think all religions out there are bunk, but a few really rank high on My list of insanity. Besides the really whacked-out ones like the Mormons and Scientology, I rank Catholics on My list of absurdity pretty damn high. They don't have a religion, they have a God Damn government! First is the Pope, then the Bishop, then Arch Bishop, a Cardinal, a Deacon, a Priest, an Altar Boy ... and probably another 10 that fit in between all of those. Then of course there are all the Saints that your supposed to pray to. I vaguely remember in church there was a certain time of year where we went through this MASSIVE list of people to pray for us. I swore it would never end! It went something like this -

Priest : Saint Augustus

People: Pray for Us

Priest: Saint Catherine

People: Pray for Us

Priest: Saint Theresa

People: Pray for Us

This went on and on and on for what seemed like forever as it was sung out in monotone chorus with the congregation! What a bunch of shit! Who the hell invented this crap? Where do they come up with this stuff? I think if there is a God, He is sitting up there in Heaven looking down at the Catholic church and saying "How in THE hell did you come up with all this crap??"

I mean if you step back and look at the Catholic Church and all their rituals that they do, from the robes, and the smoke, and the kneeling, and sitting, and standing, and bowing, and genuflecting ... you would swear you watching something from the 1800's!! It's just nuts!!

So 'Papal Infallibility' and the Catholic Church. Just another thing in a loooooong line of things that make Me think religion is some of the craziest stuff we humans practice in our daily lives. When will we wake up?? AMEN!

-------------------------------------------------------------

Todays RBV: The book of Tobit. Or the book of Judith, or how about the book of Wisdom. In fact there is a WHOLE LIST of books in the Catholic Bible that ARE NOT in any other Bible. Now if the Bible is the inspired word of God, then which version of that inspired word are we supposed to use? In fact, if it's the 'rock hard' word of God, why are there different versions to begin with ??????????? Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm!!!

Times ticking away!

Remember the lady predicting all the bad things for March 2009? If not, go back to my blogs on 3/22 and 2/28 and listen to Her spew Her bull crap.




So in March of 2009, here are some of the predictions She has made that were told to Her DIRECTLY BY GOD!!!!!!!!!!!

- A tsunami will hit California in March of 2009

- God said there is NOT ONE person on earth who lives their life in complete submission to Him. (Well it sure as hell ain't gonna be Me either!)

- God will darken America like never before in March of 2009

- There will be a huge 'cross of light' in the sky for the whole world to see in the spring of 2009.

- And many, many more stupid, asinine, absurd things predicted for 2009.

-------------------------------------------------------------------

Well lady, you only have 2 days left for all this to happen!! Then I think She's changing websites. As of April 1st, you should be able to find Her at www.onedumbbitch.com

Actually, She's already got a 'bailout plan'. She said that IF these things don't happen, then God has granted us mercy a little longer to get our shit together. Imagine that ..... WHAT LUCK ... for us AND Her and all Her inaccurate prophecies!

The great question.

Lately, I have been watching debate after debate after debate on evolution VS creationism, or debates on if there's a God. Some were good, some were awesome, and some not so good. It's amazing after some debates you really start to wonder about the other side, that is to say ... 'Maybe there is a God'. But after it's all said and done, after all the debates were over, and after I had time to rationally think it all out, I have come to the conclusion that I had even before I started watching the debates. That is to say, God, as we define it, is a personal, made up creation that is invented to get certain people through life. And the God's of organized religion point so strongly to the fact that it was the thoughts of man, many thousands of years ago.

Out of the debates that I watched, there were many good questions on both sides of the argument. And many of the questions against creationists I've already stated in this blog, such as:

- Why doesn't God ever heal an amputee?
- If you were born in another part of the world, wouldn't you be claiming that Allah, or Buddha. or Mohamed was your God?


But one question that I heard in the debate just stuck out in my mind as an awesome question ... and here it is.

Creationists say Noah put 2 of every kind of animal on the ark.
Evolutionists say 'How do you get all 2 million animals on a boat?'
Creationists say 'Not two of every species ... two of every KIND!"

- in other words, wolves and big dogs and little dogs are all one KIND. Just as a horse is a KIND, you don't need 2 mules, 2 horses, 2 zebras, and on and on. Creationists say that evolution within a KIND DOES happen, they just say that a dog will NEVER become anything but another KIND of dog!

Then the evolutionists say how long ago did this Noah's Ark happen?
Creationists reply about 2000 years ago.
Evolutionist then say : REALLY?? So your saying that a horse went on the ark, and through time we now have a donkey, zebra, etc ...
Creationist reply: That correct.
Evolutionist: IMPOSSIBLE!!!! It is absolutely IMPOSSIBLE for an animal to evolve THAT MUCH in THAT LITTLE amount of time. IT CAN NOT HAPPEN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

GOTCHA creationist! You DON'T believe in evolution, unless it benefits YOUR story. But when you use it in your story, you don't play by the scientific rules that states it takes hundreds of thousands of years, if not millions of years for one KIND of animal to become another KIND of animal. Unfortunately, the Bible only allows you to use about 6,000 years. In other words .. YOU LOSE!

SO I ASK YOU CREATIONIST .... HOW DID NOAH FIT OVER 2 MILLION ANIMALS IN THE ARK??????? Since of course .. animals CANNOT evolve from a horse to a zebra in only 2000 years???????????

Oddly enough, this one question that totally floored me, was also the question that never got answered by the creationist. Imagine that !!!!!!!!

If you have a couple spare hours I highly recommend clicking HERE and watching this debate.

Oh yeah .. I almost forgot. The creationist in this debate is currently serving a 10 year prison sentence for tax evasion and fraud.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

See you tomorrow my monkey friends !!!!

The upcoming Armageddon!

Nooooooo ... not THAT Armageddon! Did you think I was talking about the end of the world? We all know that answer already, it's December 20, 2012. I'm talking about My own personal Armageddon, or the 'Great Debate'!

Ever since I retired, I've had a notebook that I've been filling out with just about everything I can think of. From questions in life, to interesting facts, to raising chickens, to how often I take a shower. Yeah .... I'm losing it! Anyway, one of the things I jot down is all the absurdities found in the Bible, and all the questions that I have about this 'apparent' God.

I'm doing all this because one day in the near future I'm going to have the 'BATTLE OF RATIONALITY VS. FAITH'. I'm going to debate a very devoted Christian who lives His/Her life for the Lord. Every single day, His/Her life is devoted to God. It's more important than His/Her's spouse, more important than the job, more important than the kids!!! It's NUTS (in My opinion). This person actually thinks He/She talks to God. Well, in fairness, I guess I too believe that He/She talks to God, it's the part that He/She thinks God talks back is the part that makes Me think this person is delusional.

Anyway, were going to have a debate. I will be prepared, you can bet on that. There will be a video camera set up, and a fresh tape in the camera. I expect this to go on for a few hours. I want answers DAMMIT! And I will corner this person up against the wall until I get them too! I'm quite confident that the answers I need most will be passed off as 'faith'. I'll be curious to see how many times a tough question becomes answered with, 'It's based on faith'. In my opinion, anywhere you see the word 'faith', you can substitute the word 'bullcrap' ... they both mean the same thing.

I could make this debate short and sweet, but I won't. I could just start the debate out with asking "How come God has never cured an amputee?", OR "If you were born in the middle east, wouldn't You be sitting here proclaiming Mohammad is the son of God?", OR "IF Christianity is the right way, isn't safe to assume that two thirds of the world (over 4 billion people) are going to hell?" Then point the camera in His/Her direction for the next hour on a dumbstruck face. I think those questions right there would declare Me the instant winner. But I think I'll string Him/Her along for awhile, kinda like a good lawyer who sets up a person on the stand with easy questions to portray the fact that I don't know to much since I'm asking such lame questions. Then ... out of the blue, I'll pull out the 'big guns' and watch Him/Her stumble for words and flip through the old Bible for answers. Ha ha ha (evil grin). Maybe I'll take Him/Her outside and point out the actual dimensions of Noah's Ark so He/She can see them on a visual scale, and then ask if it's possible that one man (or family) could possibly take on that project. I already know the answer ... "If you have faith (bullcrap)".

Anyway, this is just another stepping stone in my life that needs to be done in order to fulfill my goals of happiness, kinda like starting a fire without a match! I'll be sure to keep you posted when this "Great Debate" happens.

------------------------------------------------------------------------

P.S. - Today I will start brushing only the left side of my mouth.

------------------------------------------------------------------------

Todays RBV: 2 Samuel 12:31 And he brought forth the people that were therein, and put them under saws, and under harrows of iron, and under axes of iron, and made them pass through the brick-kiln: and thus did he unto all the cities of the children of Ammon.

Once again I see where the creators of the "SAW" movies got their motivation from.

I found Jesus

I finally found Jesus !!!! Right in front of my nose this WHOLE time. Isn't that just how Jesus works??

What the hell am I talking about you ask? I'm saying I FOUND JESUS!! She always been there!! Yes .. I said She! It's my wife ... can you believe it?? I MARRIED JESUS for Christs sake!!

Now just how the hell did I come to the conclusion that I am married to Jesus? Well DUH ... just look at all the clues!!

1. Has an unbearable cross to carry.
Uhmmm ... hello!! That cross is ME! I don't think another woman on earth could bear the burden of putting up with Me. And yet She does with somewhat ease. ONLY Jesus could do this!

2. Teaches patience, and morals, and ethics, and respect .. and all that 'character counts' bullshit.
This AGAIN is Her. She reels me back in when I go way off the deep end with stuff. She teaches me these values when I go astray. Even though these values only stick with me for an hour or so before I'm diving off another cliff, She still cares enough to start over and teach Me again.

3. Born in a manger because the Inn was full.
Now I'm not sure about the manger part .. but I can prove to you that She was INDEED born. I have the paperwork!!

4. Cured the sick.
Oh my God, She is so good at this. I've lost count how many times the kids come down with something nasty and the next thing you know, there as good as new again.

5. Feed 5000 people with 5 loaves of bread and 2 small fish.
Now to be honest, I don't remember having the fish since it's not my favorite meal, but I do remember some people coming over and staying for supper and we both looked in the fridge and seen we had next to nothing to feed them. Then the next thing you know, we're all sitting at the table and here She comes with plate after plate of food ... like there was a sudden cornucopia of food out of no where!!! How did She do this?? I still don't know.

6. Turned water into wine.
Again ... details, details .. who cares. So it wasn't wine, it was Captain Morgan. Is it really that important? All I know is I gave Her an empty glass with nothing but some melting ice in it, and She returned a short time later with the cuppith overflowith with spirit!! However She did it, it's pretty damn cool.

7. Healing the blind and the dumb.
I, once again, am first hand witness to this account. I am quite often either blind or dumb (sometimes both at once), and She will come and open my eyes to something I could not see before .. even though it was right in front of me all along.

8. Raised the dead.
Yes, it's true. One night after a lot of drinks, we were in bed, and She was a little (you know). To which I responded, "I can't .... I drank to much, it's dead." But low and behold if She didn't breathe life back into ................ well ...... you get the idea.



So scoff if you will. I was once in your shoes, but now I know better! I was blind but now I see, I was weak, but now I'm strong, I was sober, but then I started drinking and came up with todays blog.



Todays RBV: Ezekiel 24:10 Heap on wood, kindle the fire, consume the flesh, and spice it well, and let the bones be burned.


Huh !?! I guess according to the Bible we are suppose to eat meat .. whadda-ya-know. But then it also says that the end of the world is any day now and has successfully missed the marked by a few thousand years.

God's confusing.

You know, I've been thinking about God. (What a shock)

I always hear about how much God loves us and how much He wants Jesus to be our personal savior, and how much He wants to have a personal relationship with each and every one of us. And that's all fine and dandy but what I can't figure out is WHY He's got to be so damn mysterious about it.

I mean really, in 2000 years since His apparent death, there really has been NOTHING in the way of scientific or tangible proof that He's offered as evidence. Back in the day there was all kinds of stuff happening, but ever since then ....... pretty quiet, with the exception of occasional quacks who come along claiming 'this or that' only to be guilty of fraud and tax evasion and spend time in prison.

Let me explain it with a fictional story of my own. I have this very distant friend who wrote me letter saying how much He loves Me and misses Me and wants more than anything to get in touch with Me. All I have to do is search for Him and then it will be true. Strangely enough, I've NEVER met Him, but all that I've heard makes Me damn curious to get a hold of this guy. So I try and try, I've written letters, I've made phone calls, I've done google searches ... EVERYTHING I can think of to let this guy know that I want to get in touch with Him. But ... with no luck at all. With all the hype, it sure does appear that He really shows NO interest in getting in touch with me, for I have tried my damnest to get a hold of Him. Perhaps, just perhaps .. this "friend" of mine doesn't really exist at all. I guess it made me feel all warm and cozy thinking that there was a friend out there who cares for me so much, but when I really got down to searching Him out, I found out that He didn't exist.

I guess my point of all this is IF there is this magical God out there who desperatly wants Me to know Him ........ He sure doesn't seem to put forth much effort in trying to get to know Me. To put it bluntly .. 'With freinds like this ... who needs enemies?'. Seriously folks, if any REAL person out there was as distant as this apparent Jesus guy, I would have given up on Him a loooong time ago. But since this is our eternal damnation were talking about, well then I think I'll just just hold on to this notion of believing in something that makes NO sense. BULLSHIT!!!

I've said it before, and I'll say it again. I don't care about which denomination you are, or how often you go to church, or how long you've believed in God. I think it all boils down to a much simpiler and easier question. It either IS true .. or it's NOT true!!! That's IT!! That's all that really matters!! It either DOES exist, or it's all myth and fables and fabricated stories. And for Me, Myself, and I ... I gotta go with my logical, rational, intellegence and say NO! NO .. it makes no sense. NO .. it's just another mythical God in the long line of God's over the history of mankind. NO ... it's absurd that a God that wants a relationship with Me more than ANYTHING, has shown little if any effort to let Me know that He is indeed real!! NO .. when I really started snooping around with this 'Jesus' thing, it didn't magically become clear to Me about this person I'm suppose to worship. In fact .. quite the contrary.

So sorry folks, I will NOT go down the beaten path and just say that I'm a Christian because it's the right thing to do. I will not say that I believe in God because it makes Me a 'good' American. I will claim that I am agnostic. That is to say, "I don't know!". I don't know what the hell we are doing here. I don't know if there is a higher power. I don't know the answer and that IS my answer. I believe it takes a lot MORE intellegence to say "I don't know", than it does to say "I'm a Christian and I go to church EVERY Sunday", then go on your way thinking your better than Me for doing so. I truly believe that most of the Christians today are that way because of upbringing, but they've never got off their lazy asses to check out the facts and actually see if any of it made any sense. It's arrogance and ignorance, the American way, so to speak. How do I know this? Because I spent half my life living that way, unfortunatly. But now I know that it's OK to say ... "I don't know". Give it a shot! Get out of your premolded lifestyle and start poking around at some of the questions that you have. You just might come to a very different conclusion than what you were automatically taught to believe!!



Todays RBV: Todays Repulsive Bible Verse is the fact that IF ALL the RBV's in the past 100 or more blogs have NOT convinced you to questions the Bible for it's moral and ethical disgracefullness, then I don't think ANYTHING will.

WHERE'S GOD?

God did NOT show up like I asked for on Mondays blog. WTF?

That is a DIRECT violation of bible verse Mark 11:24 !!

For that, I'm not buying a Christmas tree. I'm just buying a TREE.

I'm not going to wish ANYONE Merry Christmas, just Happy Holidays.

And I'm going to substitute all the lyrics of my Christmas music that refer to Him.


BAH HUMBUG GOD!

_____________________________________________________

P.S. - I updated my countdown clock to the PRECISE HOUR NOW!! Just slightly excited!

Losing My Religion (gaining a spouse)

You know what I always thought was strange? People who change their religion when they get married. I mean IF religion is such an important issue as people say, how can we just change our faiths because we get married?

- I'm born and raised Catholic but switched to Lutheran because my my wife is Lutheran.

- I was a Seventh Day Adventist but when we got married I changed to Baptist like my husband.

- I was raised Mormon but joined my wife's church and now I'm Pentecostal.

Again, is it just me or is this whole scenario frickin' nuts? Some of these religions have VERY different beliefs than the others. But since your getting married, you just threw it all away and started believing NEW things now. HUH??????? WTF???? And yet if someone comes up to you and says "I don't really believe in God" OR "I'm agnostic", then .... THEN ... you get offended as HELL! As to say "HOW DARE YOU DENY THY GOD" ... like suddenly it's the most important issue of your life! But when it came to getting a lifetime supply of "nooky" by getting married, you threw out the "religious importance" in a heartbeat.

Like I said before, I think religion is a "status symbol" ingrained in our heads that we MUST believe in Jesus! But I think a lot of people are just lazy hypocrites too! I REALLY think that when it comes down to it, if you REALLY dissect the TRUE Christians from the "labeled" Christians, you would have a VERY small number of ACTUAL CHRISTIANS that would live up to Biblical standards. I think in America, the biggest group out there is not Catholics or Lutherans, but HYPOCRITES!! Misinformed, lazy, not willing to check it out for themselves hypocrites!!

So how DARE you scoff at the fact that I think religion is bunk! At least I DID SOME HOMEWORK and studied the fact VS the fables. Unlike some Christians I know who just show up randomly for church on Sunday, then stay for potluck dinner, and label themselves as HOLY! Piss on you people! AMEN.



Todays RBV: 1 Corinthians 15:3-6 For I delivered to you as of first importance what I also received, that Christ died for our sins in accordance with the scriptures, that he was buried, that he was raised on the third day in accordance with the scriptures, and that he appeared to Cephas, then to the twelve. Then he appeared to more than five hundred brethren at one time, most of whom are still alive, though some have fallen asleep. Then he appeared to James, then to all the apostles. Last of all, as to one untimely born, he appeared also to me.

As you can see, Christ appeared many times to people AFTER He died so asking the question "Why doesn't He come and see us today?" is NOT a ridiculous question. The reason He never makes any appearances today is the same reason no one has every seen the real Santa Claus ..... THEY DON'T EXIST!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Dear Jesus

Dear Jesus,

I don't get you, I really don't. You make no sense to me, you never really have. I'm sorry that I may have hurt your feelings and now I'm damned to hell but your just too mysterious to me.

You say your the son of God and that your by my side all the time, but I can honestly say I have NEVER felt your presence ... EVER! I'm not saying this to be mean spirited, I'm just being honest. And with my upbringing, you know I've tried! Many, many, times to reach you, but no one was on the other end. I figured that since most of my family was religious, from your everyday believer, to some who passionately live every single day for YOU! Everything they do is for you! Every time they do something they really do ask "What would Jesus Do?" So with a family who grew up with the church it was hard NOT to have to believe in You.

So, as you know, I went through life believing in you, even though it made no sense and I really never felt any type of spiritual uplifting. Nor did your big book, "The Bible", make much sense to me. It was always over my head with the fancy language, and all the killing, and slaves, and sacrifices that were in there. I never really understood that when I went to church, they always talked about a ever-loving, compassionate, caring God. But in the Bible, it was just the opposite.

Also, as you know, about a year or so ago I began to dwell into religion a bit deeper, in search of why it made no sense to me. Before this, I just listened to what all the preachers, and Christians said about religion, but never investigated it on my own. Well, much to my surprise I discovered why religion didn't make any sense to me all my life .... because it's NOT REAL!!!!!!!!

I'm serious Jesus, how can you be real? A story 2000 years ago that makes no sense and has NO archeological, scientific, or for that matter personal spiritual proof. How can you blame me for doubting your existence? How can you blame me for being utterly repulsed at the grotesque things I read in the Bible? How can you blame me for doubting you when almost 100% of the scientist in the world agree in evolution and that the earth is billions of years old, not thousands. How can you blame me for reaching out to you and getting no response in return? How can you blame me for mocking religion when it's been the cause of more wars, deaths, killings, and problems in the world today? I mean, being mysterious is one thing, but being virtually non-existent is another. I can say this - If I had a friend on earth who I tried to reach as much as I tried to reach YOU, I would have given up a looooooong time ago, but I gave you the benefit of the doubt and gave you half my life to show up.

So Jesus, as you can see, I have very good, rational, logical reasons for not believing in you. But I also know that I'm not perfect. So if some day if you find the time, maybe you could pop down here and let yourself be known to me, other than that I will continue my life basing my decisions on things that make sense and have been proven to be right over time. Sorry if I offended you, I really don't mean to. I think it would be kinda cool to have some higher power out there in the universe somewhere, but unfortunately, I'm pretty sure it isn't you.

__________________________________________________________________

Dear blogger readers:

Doesn't this sound familiar? Aren't we all "trying" to do the right thing and live a good life? Isn't it safe to assume that we all believe in God because it's the "right" thing to do? Isn't is also safe to say that we, as Americans, are somewhat lazy at times? That we take religion for granted and just assume that it's true. All I ask is that you do some homework and don't take a subject this big for granted. I mean your eternally damnation is possibly at stake here!! Don't take my word for it, get off your butt and go check it out for yourself! I would be surprised if most people don't come to the same conclusion as I did. In fact, if you have ANY overwhelming evidence to the contrary, please comment and get back to me. Amen.



Todays RBV: 2 Chronicles 15:12 They entered into a covenant to seek the Lord, the God of their fathers, with all their heart and soul; and everyone who would not seek the Lord, the God of Israel, was to be put to death, whether small or great, whether man or woman.

More PEACHINESS from the Bible !!

WTF !

Now you may find this hard to believe, but there are some strange Bible verses out there. In fact, many of them just plain contradict each other. Here a just a few examples of the Bible not matching up with itself. Enjoy!

Love and Hate

EXO 15:3 The LORD is a man of war: the LORD is his name.

ROM 15:33 Now the God of peace be with you all. Amen.

Who's your daddy?

MAT 1:16 And Jacob begat Joseph the husband of Mary, of whom was born Jesus, who is called Christ.

LUK 3:23 And Jesus himself began to be about thirty years of age, being (as was supposed) the son of Joseph, which was the son of Heli.

God VS Jesus

JOH 10:30 I and my Father are one.

JOH 14:28 Ye have heard how I said unto you, I go away, and come again unto you. If ye loved me, ye would rejoice, because I said, I go unto the Father: for my Father is greater than I.

What's up with the righteous??

PSA 92:12: "The righteous shall flourish like the palm tree."

ISA 57:1: "The righteous perisheth, and no man layeth it to heart."

Jesus's last words

MAT 27:46,50: "And about the ninth hour Jesus cried with a loud voice, saying, "Eli, eli, lama sabachthani?" that is to say, "My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me?" ...Jesus, when he cried again with a loud voice, yielded up the ghost."

LUK 23:46: "And when Jesus had cried with a loud voice, he said, "Father, unto thy hands I commend my spirit:" and having said thus, he gave up the ghost."

JOH 19:30: "When Jesus therefore had received the vinegar, he said, "It is finished:" and he bowed his head, and gave up the ghost."

Can we see God?

Yes:

"And the Lord spake to Moses face to face, as a man speaketh to his friend." (EXO 33:11)
"For I have seen God face to face, and my life is preserved." (GEN 32:30)

No:

"No man hath seen God at any time." (JOH 1:18)
"And he said, Thou canst not see my face; for there shall no man see me and live." (EXO 33:20)
"Whom no man hath seen nor can see." (1TIM 6:16)

Does every man sin?

1KI 8:46 If they sin against thee, (for there is no man that sinneth not,) and thou be angry with them, and deliver them to the enemy, so that they carry them away captives unto the land of the enemy, far or near;

2CH 6:36 If they sin against thee, (for there is no man which sinneth not,) and thou be angry with them, and deliver them over before their enemies, and they carry them away captives unto a land far off or near;

PRO 20:9 Who can say, I have made my heart clean, I am pure from my sin?

ECC 7:20 For there is not a just man upon earth, that doeth good, and sinneth not.

JO1 1:8 If we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us.
JO1 1:9 If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.
JO1 1:10 If we say that we have not sinned, we make him a liar, and his word is not in us.

JO1 3:9 Whosoever is born of God doth not commit sin; for his seed remaineth in him: and he cannot sin, because he is born of God.

Holy Crap this blog is getting long. To bad I can just keep going on and on and on like the Energizer bunny with this stuff. It really is endless.

No RBV today, I think enough absurdities have been said already. Amen.

Purpose Driven Life

I'm sure you've all read about this pile of crap book called the "Purpose Driven Life". It was a best seller for 174 WEEKS for Christ's sake!

So why am I bashing this best selling book? Well first of all, because it makes people "stupider", and as you know, I think people are pretty damn stupid already. Second of all, the author cherry picked his messages from more versions of the Bible than I've had jobs.

So lets break this down.

Number one: making people stupider than they already are.

Yes, that's right! This book gives people false hope of something "BETTER" out there. That we are all here to worship a messiah from 2000 years ago (who has never been seen since by the way!) that we need not rely on logic and rational thinking to explain things in life ... it's all God's purpose.

He has created a whole new class of stupid people if you ask me! A bunch of delusional, "whatever happens in life is God's will" idiots! It's like permission to act as stupid as you want and make as many stupid decisions as you want lifestyle. No matter what happens .. it's God's will! BULLSHIT! You know what? Shit happens, now deal with it!! YOU have to deal with it!

I often sit and wonder if the human brain could talk, it would be sitting in our skull saying, "I wonder if anyone is ever going to use me for my full potential!"


Number 2: Cherry picking the Bible.

This is a common practice with every Christian I ever met. Taking a book that is hundreds and hundreds of pages long (in small print) and "cherry picking" the stuff that makes sense to you. Not only this, but there is a ton of DIFFERENT VERSIONS of the Bible out there too. That is where this author shines. If He doesn't like what one Bible has to say about something, He goes to a different version and finds what He is looking for.

Honestly people, if you take a book as BIG as the Bible, then take that Bible and have a bunch of different versions of it, each written a bit different from the other, at some point, you ARE going to find what your looking for!!! That is my whole point on religion! A million different ways to read into it, and a billion different people inturpeting those different ways. I mean .. DO THE MATH!! Is it any wonder why religion is one of the biggest reasons we kill each other, and always has been????

It would be so much easier for me to think of my own "Purpose Driven Life" book. I'd make tons of money and be set for life. But you know what? I'd be lying to myself, not to mention everyone who reads it. And I'd feel terrible for taking advantage of all those people just to make a buck .. so I won't. But one thing I can guarantee, it would go over BIG!! It always does! WOW! I just had a thought .. A guy who DOESN'T believe in God actually has morals!!! Is that possible? Think about it! And here is why my book would go over so good ... because people are ALWAYS thinking there is something magical in life to live for. There is some magic white tunnel at the end of it all that we will go thru and move to a better world. In short ... people are F-ING STUPID!!!

And is it just me, or do you read many verses in the Bible and go ... "HUH??" And other people say the Bible says "this" and then they show you the scripture where is says that and you say .. "How the hell did they get THAT from THIS??" Seriously, I could read an entire chapter in the Bible and not find crap, where a religious speaker could read it and tell me in detail when, where, and how the world will end in great detail. Yup, the imagination is a wonderful thing!!

I say for the 100th time, wake up people!! This is the same scam that has been going on forever and ever, and with your help, there is no end in sight!! Quit making other people rich on the idea that if we live our lives for imaginary ideas, we will be rewarded in the end. Just realize that we are here, and that's all we know. Any author, preacher, lecturer, or WHOEVER has NO IDEA what happens when we die!! Just ask yourself this ... HOW THE HELL DOES HE KNOW, HE'S NOT DEAD!!!! Enough said.

If nothing else, please, I beg you, quit taking things for granted and start questioning things that you take for granted. You might just start telling yourself .. "Hey, that don't make any frickin' sense!"

Now go find your REAL purpose is life !! Amen!

Todays RBV:

Genesis 1:16 And God made two great lights; the greater light to rule the day, and the lesser light to rule the night: he made the stars also.

Sorry to break the news to you God, but the moon is NOT a light. But I imagine that is what MAN thought 1000's of years ago when they wrote the Bible. Hmmmm, interesting!

Clarifacation needed.

I just thought I'd let you readers of my blog know something about me that might be misunderstood. I've been bashing religion pretty good from day one, because I'm pretty damn sure it's a load of crap, and yes, I still feel that way. In fact, I feel 10 times better about not believing in the Bible than how I felt about BELIEVING in the bible back when I told that I had to believe it was true. I never had this passion for believing in God like I do NOT believing in God. Do you know why?? BECAUSE WHAT I'M DOING NOW MAKES SENSE!!!!!! Unlike what I wasted half my life doing before. You see, I too, was a stupid person, because I listened to other stupid people.

Anyway, this road I decided to believe pretty much ends there. I don't have a lot of answers past the point of the Bible is a bunch of "folk tales". I don't know if there IS a higher being out there, I don't know if we just die and turn to mulch, I don't know if we have a spirit that floats off and we hover around forever in the next world, assuming there is one. All I know is that God, and the Bible, as we know it, are NOT TRUE! We, as people, take things for granted without researching them, and when you actually dive in and do some investigating, you find it don't make a hell of a lot of sense. It's just easier for us to know the Bible from what we see on a billboard or church sign, or have a pastor cherry pick the same passages over and over year after year. It's just easier going to church every Sunday, like a molded robot trained to do the "run of the mill" lifestyle. Yeah, well I say "easy don't make it right"!!! Get off your lazy butts and check it out, don't take my word for it.

Now, to my point. This "decision" I made, is actually going to drive me nuts for a long time. But that's OK, because it makes life interesting, and as you know, life, as I know it, is pretty boring. I now have to wonder ... WHAT THE HELL ARE WE DOING HERE??? You see, it was easier to say that we are here to serve the Lord, and if I do good, I will go to Heaven. Yup, that was easier, A LOT STUPIDER, but easier. Now I have to figure out just what the point is of us being here, and you know what, I don't think I'm gonna figure it out. It's kind of an absurd thought to think that I'll figure it out when millions of other people over the lifetimes have not. But, like I said, that's OK, it will keep my mind off of all the stupid people we have in this world at least.

So giving up the idea that that "talking to an invisible man in the sky" is just the end of one journey, which just starts another journey that looks like a way bigger task to figure out. But on those sleepless nights, I'll go outside and sit in my lawn chair and stare up at the sky and see that mother earth, as big as we think it is, is really just a grain of sand in the beach of the universe. And you, me, and everyone who thinks they have such a busy, important life .... really don't have Jack Squat when you put it into perspective. I truly believe, that with all the knowledge we have, with all the technology, and even how far we've come .... the end result is, WE DON'T KNOW SHIT! And if you don't believe me, set your alarm for 3:00 AM some clear night and go sit outside somewhere far away from all the lights and just ponder whats out there. I think after a short while, you'll come to the same conclusion as me. By the way, the picture you see is OUR galaxy, and earth is a tiny dot somewhere in that picture. Now get this, the galaxy that you see in the picture .... well, there are billions of THEM are out there. For all we know, it's endless. Enough said.

With that I'll end this blog with a positive note. And that is, Help control the stupid population ..... grab a stupid person on the street and have them spayed or neutered. Thank you.


Todays RBV:

Psalms 38:3 There is no soundness in my flesh because of thine anger; neither is there any rest in my bones because of my sin.

This verse is where wacko's like Jerry Falwell and Pat Robertson say that San Fransisco gets earthquakes because of gays (not because of being on a fault line). We are given sickness and diseases as God's way of punishing sin. Think about that next time you get a cold, you HEATHEN!!!

Proof there is water on Mars !

So is it just me or does anyone think that the idea that we are the ONLY life form out there is an absurd idea??

Science says the earth is over 4 billion years old, the bible says it around 6000 years old. Major discrepancy I'd say. If you divide those numbers out, it's like 1 millionth of a percent. How the hell can there be such a difference. I'll tell you how, because only ONE of them is true.

The bible has never spoken about any other life forms out there other than man, and yet go outside some summer night and look at the universe. And then realize that what your seeing with your naked eye is just a PINPOINT of what is really out there. And then tell me that when the bible refers to heaven, it was really referring to the billions and billions of stars and galaxies and planets out there. No, no .. sorry. I think it's MUCH more likely that back when they wrote the bible, they looked out and really thought they were living in a dome, and heaven was up in that dome, and the earth stood on big pillars to support it. And that the moon was a light. And on, and on, and on.

The more I investigate, the more I see that the bible was written by MAN, to control other MEN. And what they wrote then was "the best they could come up with" for the knowledge that they had. Now that it's thousands of years later, we know so much more, and we can now see that what made sense back then, really makes NO sense at all today. And the only thing keeping religion alive, is the millions of people pumping billions of dollars into con artists and swindlers on television in hopes that there is a magic ending to life. And unfortunately, the loving God that everyone worships, is actually the cause of the more deaths in history than any other cause out there. My God is better than your God, and if you don't like it, I'll pray to my God to give me the strength to kill your people for not believing in my God. Or better yet, I'll smash a plane into your tallest buildings and kill myself and thousands of innocent people, just so I can go have a bunch of virgins in paradise. I can't think of anything lower than a God who promises "pussy" in the afterlife, if I commit suicide for Him.

Come on people, wake up, study up a little bit, and don't be afraid to let go of old fairy tales that are only around because people are to scared to say "What if ?" Like Bill Maher once said. "It's OK to say, I don't know". We don't have all the answers yet, we may never have them. But doesn't it make more sense that religion is a great way to get rich and control people, than it is that some man in the sky is watching your every move and if you mess up, you'll go to an imaginary place with wailing and gnashing of teeth, and fire, and brimstone, and pain and suffering for all eternity. Oh yeah ........ BUT HE LOVES YOU !!! (sorry George Carlin, stole that one from you also. Your just too great of a man not to quote).
