So a petition went up recently on the 10 Downing Street website, associated with a site called Stop The Nightmares. (You can Google those things if you're looking for it: I was going to post the link, but now that I've thought about it more, I don't want to encourage people to impulse-click.) I feel very strongly about what it's petitioning against ( Read more... )

"In fact, all marketing slogans around the world for this product aimed at young children revolved around the word 'touch.' There’s something seriously wrong here."...because, yanno, human contact is such an evil, demonic thing. When was the last time you hugged your kids, or brushed the hair out of their eyes when they were crying, or kissed their ( Read more... )

ARGH WHY DO I FAIL SO HARD GOD WHYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY ( Read more... )

Copying and pasting this from a comment I made on baxil's journal rather than linking to it, as I realise he doesn't want the slew of flames I'll likely get being spammed on his journal. I woke up this morning to see practically the entirety of my friendslist bathed in what appear to be pre-emptive "don't hate us for hating him" entries-- and I want to ( Read more... )

Yeah, see, I can go with the "hell is empty" thing. I mean, as I said and as an aside, I do think religions in general should also look at the compelling evidence that the place translated into English as "hell" in the Bible apparently referred to two different places unrelated to Dante's concept of hell -- the grave, and an earthly pit in the ( Read more... )

First o' all, a very happy birthday to confrontation, who turns 15 today. Wish we could go out and do something for her, but none of us really wants to venture outside unless we have to, due to the fact that it is ABSOLUTELY PISSING BUCKETS.

I haven't been having much luck getting decent debate out of the Why Won't God Heal Amputees? forums; the people there ( Read more... )

Ooh. Found this bustling and seemingly intelligent religious debate forum, mostly geared towards the secular but advertising freedom and equal hearing for all, courtesy of kawakiisakazuki. This may just start eating into my daily internetting. At the very least, it gives me somewhere to rant on my semifrequent religious ponderings where I won't be annoying the ( Read more... )

This page would be mildly amusing in and of itself, but close to the end it takes a abrupt right turn from innocuous My First Mildly Kooky Religious Offshoot Webpage (In Glorious 18pt Times New Roman, praise its holy serifs)-land into... well, just read on:

If you can hear the "Oh the Blood of Jesus" midi file, and it gets under your skin, don't ( Read more... )

( The Doctrine of Salvation - What you need to know )

...still wins so hardReminds me of when I was sixteen or so; filled with my own brand of religious zealotry, I eagerly procured a pamphlet off the Witnesses who came to the door, since they assured me they'd be "back to collect it in a week or so". I got to my typewriter (such as it was, back in the day) and set to putting together my own pamphlet ( Read more... )
