I won’t be able to make a blog post until boobquake is over, but I will be tweeting and posting photos throughout the day. Feel free to talk about your boobquake adventures in this post*!
Check back here after boobquake is over around the world (6am EST) for the results!
*No, that does not mean I need an update of every single earthquake that has happened so far. No, the Taiwan earthquake is not statistically significant – yet. If we get many of a similar magnitude in the next 24 hours, then we might start worshipping the power of immodesty.
My official boobquake outfit. So horribly scandalous, I know.

For those who might be boobquaking in Austin,TX – it’s technically not illegal for women to go shirtless here. I do, however, recommend sunscreen. Sunburned nipples hurt. A lot.Also, just because something is not illegal doesn’t mean you won’t be arrested for it. Keep your attorney on speed dial, just in case.

Inadmissable as officially boobquake starts on the 26th. A coincidental earthquake that happens to occur the day before the debauchery is irrelevant. That’s how science works. Cheers!

No quakes in the UK yet, but there’s only ever been one in my lifetime that was noticeable, and all it did was dislodge a few picture frames. I suppose we are not in a place geologically likely to be struck – but we DO have plenty of immodestly dressed women. Surely something doesn’t add up??

Shall we read the article…”Philippine authorities forecast little damage after the 10:59 a.m. (0259 GMT) quake that struck…” “Philippine officials warned people on the coast to watch for a tidal surge, though it was unlikely to cause casualties or damage”"Earthquakes occur frequently in Taiwan, which lies on a seismically active stretch of the Pacific basin.”So an earthquake occurs in an area well-known for its seismic activity, causes very little damage, and this is god showing his wrath? Boobquake mainly takes place in the USA/western countries, so God punishes Taiwan, but not too much…that DOES make sense now you put it that way!

Not to self-pimp (well, not too heavily anyway), but I blogged about the statistics of earthquake frequency here yesterday: http://www.lousycanuck.ca/?p=3…I fully support the effort to stuff that cleric’s words down his craw. However, three 5.0-5.9 earthquakes (rated “damaging”) happen daily. The entire exercise is about selection bias. There are over 600,000 earthquakes worldwide a year. The point is, if there is no earthquake *where the debauchery is happening*, then either God has piss-poor aim, or he’s not doing the earth shaking.

I concur, she does rock! But…we’ll have to have more than one day devoted to Boobquake, won’t we? Only testing the hypothesis once is not quite following the scientific method. I think several random days of immodesty, over a longer period of time, would help us get a more accurate reading on how we are affecting plate tectonics. Anyone agree?

For all you shikse…running amok…Here are a few tips from a local orthodox Rabbi…Now, how to dress.The human body is a lofty medium, a gift from G-d that allows us to use this world in our pursuit of the spiritual. Jewish Law therefore requires that we honor our bodies, that is, ourselves, in recognizing our own holiness, and to dress ourselves with the dignity we and our bodies deserve.The following is always appropriate, even when not dressing formally.Clothing must reach up to the collar bone in the front, and to just below the nape of the neck in the back, and it must extend below the knees. Clothing should not be tight or revealing in any way.Women’s legs should be covered with stockings, not necessarily opaque. Taupe or beige are accepted in some communities, others suggest darker colors. Flashy colors, especially of stockings, are not good. The more glaring shades of red are forbidden in any sort of clothing. Men should not wear short pants.Long sleeves that cover the elbows are also required. This is appropriate for both men and women. Women should wear dresses or skirts (without slits), but not pants. The dress or skirt should reach below the knees, and stockings should cover the legs until above the knee. Makeup is permitted for women.

The thing that drives me nuts about these kinds of comments is this:”YOU WILL SEE THAT YOUR LIFE WILL HAVE MORE MEANING ANG A PURPOSE .”The assumption from some many Christians is that our atheist lives are just horrible and we’re miserable all the time. Wrong. When I finally figured out that Jesus isn’t real, God’s a fake, and the Holy Spirit is a bunch of f***ing nonsense, my life became MUCH better. The last several years have been the happiest of my life. The misery was during my Christian years when I believed I was a horrible sinner who needed to confess my sins on a daily basis. Now I realize that those sins aren’t even sins at all, but just part of *being human*. Live is great now that I’m an atheist, so the argument that Christianity will give me more meaning and a purpose is absurd.

No Boobquake in BergenI went to town this lunchtime and told a couple of people about it. No one had heard of it, and indeed I haven’t seen anything in our media, despite the fact that the Swedes next door have it. I told one young lady who runs a café and has a birthday today to go run tonight, and she agreed. I had already told an American in Oslo about it, and both she and her colleagues are quaking, as well as having alerted daughter and sister in the US. Maybe if it happens again Norway will get with the programme. I’m actually glad it never reached my city, as it’s cold and rainy, and spring colds are extra depressing.

While I wasn’t aware there was even a Taiwan quake, there is a ~40% chance that, on any given day, a 6.0-6.9 earthquake will happen. About 120 of them happen every year.The point is, if God did it, he’s got piss-poor aim. Taiwan is grossly unlikely to be participating in this particular boobquake experiment.

Dwell on that, because that’s how you make Jen feel with your patronizing comments about her beliefs, and well, that’s just not very nice. What would Jesus do?

Hi Jen,Please tell me this is going to be an annual event? Think of all the money that could be raised for charity! What an awesome idea. If a BooBQuake charity run can be organized in cities throughout the world it would be amazing. Providing an earthquake doesn’t happen at the same time lol

related to the comments before, i think that believing in God takes less from a human than being an atheist. simply looking at the nature or humanbody, you can see that there must be something or someone bigger and unnatural there somewhere. i personally could not imagine that this is all coincidence.

You might think that this is a singular incident, but it is not:http://www.turksolu.org/173/fo…This lady is holding up a sign that translates best as “Was 7.4 not good enough for you?” It is a reference to the scale of the earthquake in Turkey in 1998, which killed thousands. A military base was struck severely by the earthquake. The cardboard addresses the military, commonly known to be the source of all Evil and Blasphemy in Turkey.For your information, the earthquake struck a region with a high percentage of conservative party voters.

You need to look up theory in the dictionary hun. If you read the dictionary you’d see that a scientific theory is a well-established and tested model of reality. It’s not a belief at all. There is also a definition of theory which is used which means ‘hypothesis’. A hypothesis is an untested model that explains something about reality. A hypothesis becomes a theory once it’s been tested over and over again and is found to be valid. Once again it has nothing to do with belief. Stop being ingnorant.

You clearly have no idea what a scientific theory is. It is the highest form of knowledge in science. It is not a guess, it is not an hypothesis, and it is as close to fact as anything outside mathematics can get.It is the explanation of factual happenings in reality. It is supported by evidence, observable, testable, repeatable, produces predictable results and is never wrong. If it is wrong even ONCE then the theory is adjusted to accommodate the new facts.Gravity is a theoryElectricity is a theoryQuantum mechanics is a theory.Come on now Sambo, get your facts, and your theories right.

Regarding statistical significance, it’s very difficult to tell because of bad experimental design. By not specifying a target earthquake magnitude in advance, you’ve made the results difficult to interpret statistically.If we ignore that, though, the USDA tells us that around 13 earthquakes a year happen between magnitudes 7.0 and 7.9 (and around 1 at greater magnitudes). Suppose 20 earthquakes per year happen of magnitude 6.9 or greater (this might be underestimating, although there’s enough variance in the data and rounding in the reported size to make it not totally unreasonable). At 365 days / year, we get a 5.48% chance of an earthquake of this size or greater occurring by chance alone. At the 5% level of significance (a fairly standard level in science), this is only statistically insignificant by the smallest margin, and even a fairly small earthquake would push the results well into statistical significance.

There are many of them. There are many similarities within them. There is absolutely no evidence that one religion is “correct” and the others are “wrong”. Believe what you want.

So because one crazy person who belongs to a religion said something, it instantly means its a religious thing. Does that mean that since one preacher raped little boys, its is common catholic practice to rape alterboys? Ignorant Ass.

Built by fairies? Maybe, I’m not sure about slave workers preferences in .CN . Sorry but I’m far from an expert on PC manufacturing processes, but I remember some years back discussing problems in using robots for processor unit placement with a researcher in smart materials and fuzzy logic programming (FYI it was basically about sensors and trajectory errors and fb sampling, at the time, at least, processors weren‘t fast enough to ensure accurate placement of processor placement w/o risking bending pins while inserting them ) So as to little more tjan basic techniques I’m not very knowledgeable. Although now that I think about it I’m sure assembly design could probably be improved in this one Fred really try to stop being a condescending little fuckbraiin twit. I’m probably a lot more aware of automobile/train mechanics, be it soli, fluid or thermo, than you. Yes, it goes for manufacturing processes too including various polymer ones like RRIM for autbody part mfg.You jumped to a conclusion I’m a bible banger. I’m not, I’m not arguing about it. My criticism is with many scientists. Take for example the English nitwits in climategate suppressing data because it went against their… went against their what? Their what? O it went against their beliefs. There’ve been a number of scientists going on little evidence claiming their version (construction) of reality is correct and everyone else’s’ is wrong. Simply put it is little different than religion and while it usually makes interesting reading it’s probably as fictitious as Robert E Howard’s hyborean world.So please take your condescending attitude and shove it.

No, a theory is an tested system of ideas that best explains why something is the way it is. An hypothesis is a guess that needs to be tested repeatedly to judge whether or not it stands up to real observations.There is no guess. Theories do evolve just like religious beliefs, but that does not invalidate them.Let me remind you that ‘electricity’ is only a theory. Go put your finger in a socket to test it out!

Leave it to a Christian to try to ruin something that should be about earth-shaking boobs. I’m going to assume that Nat is a troll, and a very effective one. But just in case: Nat – according to your religion, God created everything. God is a perfect being, so everything that He created is therefore perfect (an imperfect thing can not come from a perfect thing, nor can it become imperfect). So, logically, Atheists, boobs, and atheist boobs all must be perfect and good, since they were created by a perfect and good creator with perfect and good intention. Unless you are implying that God made a mistake, or that His perfect plan is somehow flawed. It would seem that you are trying to correct God’s divine plan.So Nat…why do you think it is your job to interfere with God’s plan? And what do you think God thinks about your outrageous pride?

The difference is that a scientific hypothesis or theory must be falsifiable. That is that the potential for data to disprove it exist – a test where the predicted results do not match the expected results. That is why intelligent design is not a science and does not belong in biology class. Personally, I don’t have a problem with it in religion,theology or philosophy classes, but there is not test available to prove it false.

From what I understand, physicists are actually starting to shift away from the use of ‘Laws’. I’m not positive on this though. It was explained from a friend who knows much more about physics than myself. @ al – Just because there are some scientists that are falible (OMG, people with flaws) does not discount science, and certainly does not put the scientific process as a ‘belife system’. That said, I will accept your premise that there are people within the scientific community that do push their personal views above their integrity. I like to hope that this is a minority.

Just a quick note re the Taiwan earthquake (not sure if it’s been pointed out elsewhere in the comments, there are a lot of them!). Aside from it not being statistically significant, it took place at 10.59am local time, which is 2.59am GMT and 7.59pm Sunday PST. I’m in the UK, and at 3am this morning I was tucked up in bed. Americans weren’t even on Monday yet. Even if you do think immodest dress is a direct cause of earthquakes, you have to admit that the Taiwan earthquake jumped the gun somewhat.

Actually, religion was created by the anthropomorphization of the stars about 10000-14000 years ago during the agricultural revolution. It was during this time that people needed to pay attention to the movement of the “heavens” in order to plant crops.Soon after, however, people began using it to control other people.

Number of participants and length of study are statistically insignificant. This is about as scientifically relevant as the cleric’s hypothesis.One might just as easily do a study comparing the amount of skin commonly visible in periods of time to recorded seismic activity and conclude the cleric correct.Where people got the idea that stupidity is canceled out by more stupidy I don’t know, but without more boob pics, this means nothing.I’m afraid it will take more women over a longer period of time, and more graphical representations so the surface area of exposed boob can be measured before this will be of any relevance.Thus, Jen and friends will need to wear revealing clothing and posts pictures for say, the next 12 months.

All Climategate did was make a bunch of people, who didn’t believe a word of global warming research to begin with, irritate the fuck out of the rational people in this country. The scientists were mainly just bitching about the morons who see facts and believe fiction, so they disregarded a warming period in the 40s to make their argument more airtight, a little fucked but understandable considering they are trying to SAVE THE FUCKING PLANET. Seriously, if you’re against any form of green reform you are just supporting a national addiction to foreign oil, not to mention a disgusting, filthy future for our children.

More than other days? Maybe, but not blatently. Then again, the weather has suddenly turned nice.I’m sure there are areas on campus where the activities are more localized, and I am just talking about students going to classes and stuff.

No, Sambo. Science is based on research and not all of what is studied in science deals with things we can and cannot see but at least suspect exists. A lot of our theories of what does and doesn’t exist is based on any combination of mathematics, measuring, and observation. A lot of religion regardless of whether it’s Pagan, Buddhist, Christian, or Islamic, is based on faith. And again, what faith is good for some, will not be good for others. I abandoned Christianity when I came to that realization about a year and 1/2 ago and doing so served me well.

You’re a tool! Religion has been a tool to control the masses of ignorant peasants for centuries.

The powers that have controlled societies use this to crush individual thought and keep a strangle hold on the masses of sheep that choose to believe such theoretical nonsense. Spitting out your so called righteousness in the name God, Allah, Budha, or whoever is a poor excuse for your ignorance of the real reason why religion exists!Do some homework Nat.

FAIL. A law is not a step above a theory. Laws DESCRIBE a SIMPLE phenomenon. Theories EXPLAIN COMPLEX phenomena. A theory can never become a law, but a law can be a part of the theory.Newton’s or Einstein’s LAWS of gravitation DESCRIBE the way two masses will interact. The THEORY of gravity, includes those laws and EXPLAINS (or at least attempts to) why those two bodies interact the way they do.

Really? It’s only in celebration of science? What about the extremist views that What’s-His-Malfunction has against women? Many of the Christian women I know took part in this as a stand against such sexism in this so-called pluralistic world. To say that today’s even “belongs” to one group of people in this world is a misnomer, especially when one calls for pluralistic views as a whole.Also, to my companions of faith, because this is a pluralistic world, you cannot go about condemning people for their choices. If this pluralistic world is to continue, then nobody should be forcing anything on anybody else. I have to say that I am ashamed by the behaviour I’ve seen in only the few comments made before this one and I cannot believe that I am to be associated with people who would willingly make the same poor choices in “the name of faith” that were made not even three generations ago, let alone three hundred years.The real point is this: Someone of power made a faux pas which has made yet another large “tremor” of injustice and made it “in the name of faith.” Today, people are taking a stand against said injustice – even if it’s only “people of faith” who see it as such while so-called “intellectuals” are only seeing this as a stand for science and rationalism. This is not to say that the “people of faith” who are supporting this event disagree with the fact that yes, earthquakes ARE caused by a shifting of tectonic plates and definitely not the indecency of people (women in specific). Please, let us all just leave it at this and TRY to see that “both sides” of the fence are actually coming together in the face of this extremism.

The U.S. Geological Survey’s Earthquake Hazards Program reports there have been 307 earthquakes worldwide in the last seven days, most of which, thankfully, were very minor. You can see the map and list at earthquake.usgs.gov/earthquake…. Given the large number of quakes, I don’t think one day is enough to test the hypothesis. A single instance just isn’t enough to measure for a variation. Maybe you should do this for an entire week to see if there is an uptick in the total number. For that matter, a single week would fail for the same reason a single day fails. Maybe the third week of every month should be boobquake week. Then, after five or six months, if you saw more earthquake activity during the third week of each month, you would have something.Then again, the biggest boobs I’ve seen today are the ones posting their rants about atheism and religion on this blog. Come on, guys! This is science. Let’s keep our eyes on the ball… or whatever it is that’s bouncing in your world today…

Dear Jen. As much as I laud (and appreciate) your effort there is no way that you can win against that nut case. If you check with the US Geological Survey http://earthquake.usgs.gov/ear…There have been 306 measured earthquakes in the past 7 days (magnitude 2.5 + in the US 4.5+ elsewhere), 75 are over 4.0. That is about 44 quakes per day. That nut case (who says he has an amateur interest in geology BTW) need only quote today’s figures from the USGS and he”s won among the great unwashed who think it”s OK to stone women. Check today”s figures. If it is less than 44 then you may have some semblance of victory but you probably won’t convince the great unwashed. Sorry.

Also, does adultery cause earthquakes and other sins other disasters, or do all sins contribute to earthquakes? If the latter, it seems like it would be very difficult to control for the other sins.

We have a problem in this fact; earthquakes happen all the time. By some skewed semblance of logic, that means that women are ALWAYS leading good, pious, men to temptation somewhere in the world.You can’t argue with that piss-poor excuse for reasoning.

The pro-Israeli front Washington Institute for Near East Policy has issued a paper calling for the US to engage in clandestine propaganda activities against Iran by trying to manipulate issues of human rights for their own advantage.Amongst their suggestions are:Feed the regime’s anxieties about the security forces’reliability by, for example, publicizing reports of disquiet in the ranks over their repressive role.Condemn the show-trials of reformists.Publicize the cases of prominent regime victims.Quietly assist Iranian expatriate groups that disseminate internet videos depicting violence by the security forces.One interesting angle they propose to try to manipulate human rights concerns to tie it to the nuclear program is this:Exploit Ahmadinezhad’s close identification with the regime’s nuclear program in order to delegitimize its efforts to create a nuclear weapons option. Portray it as an intrinsic part of Tehran’s efforts to block popular demands for change and maintain its grip on power by force, based on the reasoning that a nuclear Iran would be less vulnerable to international pressure regarding human rights.It must really burn their asses that the nuclear program in Iran is so massively popular!Anyway, I am not sure where the folks at WINEP have been until now, but pretty much every tactic they encourage has already been played out on Iran. For example, with regard to this tactic:Raise constant questions about the regime’s stability, long-term viability, and reliability as a patron and partner, planting doubts among rejectionist groups and regimes throughout the region and beyond.I already mentioned how the US media has been predicting the imminent collapse of the regime in Iran on a daily basis for the last 30 years.Look folks, here’s a bit of advice: Governments that backed Saddam Hussein with chemical weapons, and which train and arm nun-raping death squads in Latin America, and which torture people, and help Israel maintain death camps in Gaza, simply don’t have the legitimacy to lecture other governments.Therefore, before you jump into a propaganda campaign, find the truth about it.Here is a quiz to check how much you know about Iranhttp://www.proprofs.com/quiz-s…

I’m sure you’ve been divinely inspired, Jenny. People should worship at your, um, feet.AFAIC, there are two appalling aspects to such clerical statements:1) They are so irrational. That there are people in authority who are so incapable of thinking is sad and scary.2) They are hateful. That there are people in authority who are so into their power games that they condemn natural, fun, necessary human desires is even sadder and scarier. I can’t imagine a god would prefer people to live in fear rather than happiness, but clerics need to create fear so they can play their control games. That is far sicker than mere stupidity.

Nonsense. A “true scientist” would put the whole God concept in the bin with the countless other concepts for which there is no good definition, no evidence for, or no need for. A scientist gives God all the same consideration as the Flying Spaghetti Monster, the Invisible Pink Unicorn (PBUH!), and, just to add to the meaningless of it, to the Klandutunction. Although it is worth mentioning that the “God of the Bible” is not undefined, and readily dismissed scientifically.

As a translation, the King James version was tilted from the original to portray King James as the second coming of Christ.

Generally the reaction I get to telling people I’m agnostic is worse than what I would get if I said I’m an athiest. It’s somehow not surprising how incredibly ignorant people are, and after everything from being confused with a Scientologist to being physically harassed about my “need” to go to church, mostly I just have to laugh at the “preachers.”I also maintain that religion does not equal morals, but I tend to get told off for that, irony of ironies.

Congrats to you and your fellow boobquakers. I can’t imagine a more meaningful and worthwhile way to spend your time than to show of your breasts. And you make such a valid point – I’m sure that the Muslim cleric whose words so offended you is now on his knees begging Allah to spare the world from disaster. On second thought, he probably has no idea who you are, nor does he care. But now all of the CNN viewership knows that you and your followers have no more respect for yourselves than a common prostitute or stripper. Your parents and professors must be proud.

Your assumption that prostitutes and strippers have no respect for themselves is demeaning to workers in the sex industry, some of which actually enjoy their work and greatly respect themselves. Your use of sex work as an insult is also offensive.Furthermore, your assertion that showing one’s cleavage is a form of self-disrespect is laughable. If the women who partook in Boobquake did so willingly, who are you to say they disrespected themselves? There is nothing inherently disrespectful in the female body, nor in human sexuality, despite what many belief systems might say otherwise. Women taking pride in their bodies and showing them off a little in a lighthearted way doesn’t sound like self-disrespect to me. In fact, telling women to be ashamed of their bodies and their sexualities seems far more disrespectful.You’re of course free to believe what you wish and disagree with Jen and the other Boobquakers. But in a reasonable discussion, you don’t get to tell them they’re disrespecting themselves, and you certainly don’t get to make gross generalizations not only about the women participating, but also about women in the sex industry. While you have the constitutional right to say such things, that doesn’t make them any less fallacious or offensive.

Woman is respected while fully dressed. Don’t blame on man who watch your “things” when it is opened. That’s what every man’s attitude. People who deny that is just lying to themselves. Man always dominant however, because that’s the way God creates ! You can say anything from humanity to gender equality or any piece of crap but we’ve done actually since God create the man that way and still you can’t change that even a bit.God creates the man that way is to let man lead in this world because there’s no such thing like twin leadership, check it in every world for sure !

Do you think “science” means “something that must occur when you do something”? BIG NO!!! If it is yes, then there is no psychology, economy, geology, meteorology, etc. Science is only a tool…a tool to make you understand more your belief (not to proof). BTW, if you wanna talk about fact, then Taiwan’s quake is one of it, just don’t runaway from the FACT. If it doesn’t fulfill your need, so why you blame it to the belief itself? Blame your method at first. So the point is…it’s better for you to go back to school to learn more about real “science”, and find a religion to make you in peace. But I am sure, you’ll find the peace in ISLAM. Cheers.

I fail to see how we would all find peace in a religion that, for the last 9 years, has been getting a very negative rep for being incredibly violent and intolerant. It may be only certain factions of Islam, yes, but fact of the matter is it is still a faction of Islam, and it concerns me that something as simple as a cartoon can garner threats of violence and death.To each his own. Attempting to impress your belief system upon others shows immense inconsideration for your fellow humans, and ignorance of the world at large. Best of luck to you with that.

while one hopes and imagines that it isn’t common catholic priest practice to rape altarboys, there is something undeniably wrong with a church system that encourages such rapists to stay in power and makes every possible effort to silence their victims. likewise, the “one crazy person” happens to be a *senior* Iranian cleric, and his statement has been backed up by the Minister for Welfare and Social Security in Iran – again, suggesting a systemic problem at play.

Do you think that if others fail in executing something, it means that the object to execute must be wrong? BIG NO! It is influenced by the knowledge and skill the person has. For example is a cooking recipe. 2 persons can cook based on the recipe, but the tastes may be different. So I only could say that, many people can say that they’re muslims, but no-one can say in confident that they have do the muslim way very correctly (apparently, many people say that they’re muslims while not even studying about it for a second). You have your own choice, so don’t be distracted by what others do. Try to study about it first, do what it is said in it, then you could say something on it. Cheers.

Oddly enough you never experienced the “Big bang” where the universe *created itself*. That takes faith. Not to mention the faith against reason in all cosmological evolution- the Big Bang breaks every single law of physics and thermodynamics- the law of angular momentum, the law of entrophy, the law of gravity, (and 1st and 2nd laws of thermodynamics). THAT, my friend, takes a lot of faith. To have an entirely UNexplained system (evolution) is non-sensical. Life from non-life? A faith statement. Matter from non-matter? A faith statement. None of these are arrived at by reason, so please don’t act like science supports atheism. Ha! And please don’t act like A-Theism and evolution are not religious faith systems.

Given the variety of geological conditions around the world, a complete fossil record is impossible. HOWEVER: Enough specimens can and HAVE been found to support the Theory of Evolution by showing changes over the long course of time that bring the past to the present.I believe in God, but I also have no doubt about the factual nature of evolution AND the undeniable fact that the CURRENT incarnation of the universe (assuming string theory is on to something…) is approximately 14 billion years old.I see no conflict between science and religion, as long as you realize that the bible was not written by God… but by mortals trying to understand God in the terms available to them at the time.

Why does the internet make me wanna praise Lenin for attacking the churches? Or the romans for feeding them to the lions? You do realize that there is NO Proof that being reasonable is an antithesis of having faith. If you people don’t stop sending the rabid dogs to troll, its gonna come to a head, people will have had enough and simply lynch you. And furthermore atheism != darwinism, I don’t consider myself christian but I also don’t believe the big bang or darwinism .

I believe in God and I believe that the Islamic Clerics comments are taking out of context but are still harmful.Then we had the harmless but sizable Taiwan Earthquake just outside your timezone. “…sometimes light-hearted mockery is worthwhile.”Apparently God agrees with you

Actually, Atheism is a disbelief in a “supreme being” of any kind. It’s not religion… it’s skepticism, really.

I just realized I said “taking” not “taken”My urgency for a good zinger has been my own downfall…..Oooorrrr was it a clever criticism of your desire to do this protest instantly, even though you knew it was a time of great seismic activity and…no, no it was just a stupid mistake.

why be so obviously opinionated and forceful? not one single person is going to positively respond to your fiery rants and change their life. fanatics and screamers like you give religion a bad image. peace be with you before you’re wound so tight you implode with jesus-ness
