Promoting skepticism and reason without boundaries or sacred cows.

There are 218 of these, so the ones listed here are just my favorites

During the 1988 election campaign, George Bush said that Christians should not be considered patriots or real American citizens.

Let's talk about the media. On Sunday mornings, nearly all major television channels broadcast pro-atheist shows; it is nearly impossible to find religious programming during that time period. Further, Madalyn Murray O'Hair has her own cable TV channel, while Pat Robertson has been unable to obtain one for himself.

One cannot rent a hotel room without finding a copy of Nietzsche's The Anti-Christ in the room.

Most parents in America indoctrinate their children at an early age to be atheists by forcing them to attend these brainwashing sessions, whether they want to or not.

At baseball games, you can often spot people carrying signs that read "Origin Of Species, page 34".

According to recent Gallup polls, approximately 86% of Americans do not believe in God.

Around the time of Darwin's birthday, Christians have to put up with songs about Darwin, which are played in shopping malls, restaurants, and even public restrooms.

Insurance companies refer to natural disasters as "Acts of Darwin".

Gambling is freely legalized for secular purposes, yet churches have to have their bingo halls in Las Vegas, Atlantic City or on Indian reservations.

On sitcoms and movies of the week, the parents make references to how their lack of faith in God helps them get through life's troubles. Meanwhile, Christians are protrayed as pathetic folks who end up converting to atheism.

When celebrities or musicians accept awards during one of the many awards programs, they often end their list of "thank-yous" with a humble acknowledgment to Darwin for their "evolution-given talents".

Atheists regularly go door-to-door on Sunday mornings asking people not to go to church with them.

When someone is pathetic enough to admit to being a Christian, friends respond by saying things like, "No you're not. You just think you are."

Atheists often try to scare Christians into disbelief by yelling that after they die they will be sent to the Earth's fiery core and tormented by Nietzsche for eternity.

Atheists have a superstitious dread of the number 13, because Darwin once invited 12 of his friends to supper. In fact, Atheists have such a strong superstition about certain numbers that road signs and house numbers and company logos have to be changed to avoid upsetting them.

Congress has recently passed legislation requiring television manufacturers to install a so-called "H-chip," which enables viewers to automatically censor out any program containing excessive holiness.

Judges often rule in favor of the Atheist at a custody hearing, because Reason and Freethought are considered virtues, where belief in God makes you an unfit parent.

Every summer, millions of children attend vacation bible-contradiction school.

In many courthouses across the country inverted crosses and other anti-religious symbols figure prominently in judges' chambers and even in the court room itself. No one seems to consider that Christians might find this offensive.

That's funny, because I was listening to a radio program called "The Majority Report", and they seemed pretty anti-Christian to me. So either the majority in this country really is anti-Christian, or else Air America is packed with tools and dupes.


Hrm. Come to think of it, this looks like a win-win situation to me! Thanks, Ico!

What is America, in this case? America is the product of the will of the people who live here. If people are pissed about Bibles in motel rooms or the overall tone of religious "buzz" in popular culture, they need to be honest with themselves and admit that it isn't some shadowy conspiracy or government imposition.

Maybe they just don't like their "community". If I found myself living in a fundamentalist Muslim community, I think I'd find a place more in line with my lifestyle, instead of trying to forcibly secularize them in the courts in the name of my tastes.

It isn't like we just woke up one day and "In God we Trust" was on a coin and Bibles were in motel rooms. This is a culture, whether people want to admit it or not. If people have a problem with it, instead of projecting those feelings on government or skeery conspiracies, they should address the culture itself.

I don't think people would be as successful trying to impose secular culture for mere aesthetics, though...

Hilarious!

My favorite:

Buuuuuut...

To be fair, I've yet to meet a kid under age 10 who didn't love Bible Class on Sunday mornings. Something about the pipe cleaners, peanut butter crackers, and Jesus combination just keeps 'em coming back for more.

--I wonder how the poll was worded, as to be anti religious would mean not only not believe in God, but Allah, etc...

--Maybe some more thoughts later...

"Sweetie, this is humor/satire."


I am assuming the facts of each are basically true, only they have reversed situation in each. Otherwise it would be pretty pointless as a statement, I think.

I was hoping that wouldn't have to be pointed out to him.
