I’ve heard this show was quite good, but I’ve never seen it. Recommended? Will it aggravate a militant atheist?
If you’ve ever wondered how we got from “E pluribus unum” to “In God we trust,” there is an explanation. It’s all a subversive plot.
I’ve known this site for a long time, but a reader just sent me a link to it, so maybe I shouldn’t take for granted that you all know about it, too…it’s Fundies Say The Darndest Things, a collection of ripe and juicy quotes culled from Christian discussion boards. Some of them I suspect to be the product of godless trolls, but others, including some of the most outrageously ridiculous statements, are definitely from steadfast fundamentalists.
…the more likely the bird will deny all gods.
…you think the PCR song is kind of catchy.
The PCR Song
There was a time when to amplify DNA,
You had to grow tons and tons of tiny cells.Then along came a guy named Dr. Kary Mullis,
Said you can amplify in vitro just as well.Just mix your template with a buffer and some primers,
Nucleotides and polymerases, too.Denaturing, annealing, and extending.
Well it’s amazing what heating and cooling and heating will do.PCR, when you need to detect mutations.
PCR, when you need to recombine.
PCR, when you need to find out who the daddy is.
PCR, when you need to solve a crime.(repeat chorus)
Next time you have to bring treats to a school board meeting, or need something sacramental for your church, if you’re just looking for something fun to do with the kids, here’s what you can do:
It’s a completely edible FSM, and it sounds like it would be sweet, too.
This is probably a serious site. Probably. It could be satire, but the line between satire and Christianity is razor thin. Read Christian dating tips, and judge for yourself.
First rule of Christian dating: it’s pretty much like going to church. Boring, chaste, and offering nothing but faint hopes. No intimacy is allowed, not even a kiss.
Here’s a fine list of 20 blasphemous events, rated by
vulgarity, criminality, religious impact, political impact, and deaths. My favorite has to be number 13.
Rude Buddha
A sculpture of Buddha with a banana and two eggs strategically placed was happily on display at the Royal Academy of Arts this summer, but when it was moved to the sculptors’ home city of Norfolk it raised hackles amongst the local police force’s hate crime unit. DC Dan Cocks ordered it to be removed from the gallery. The artist said he aimed to show that in a global village everyone can take offence at something.
I know, it’s silly, but I felt like ordering Dan Cocks fired for vulgarity, too.
Best line: “You can’t be a rational person six days a week…and on one day of the week, go to a building, and think you’re drinking the blood of a two thousand year old space god.”
