Act the First: Two PERSONS and a GODBOY in an elevator.
Person 1: The other day I was stuck in traffic for nearly two hours. Sheesh!
Person 2: Yeah, it’s a real nightmare since the construction began.
GodBoy: When I’m stuck in traffic I like to pray to Jesus!
Person 1: I wonder if the […]
Stranger than we Can Imagine
Published by December 12th, 2007 in Reality Trumps 'God', O, Pine With Me, Yoshi and One Thousand Words. 0 CommentsSir Arthur Eddington said this of our cosmos: “Not only is the universe stranger than we imagine; it is stranger than we can imagine.” I was reminded today of that fact by an image I’d forgotten.
In an effort to reduce the bareness of the walls in Yoshi’s bedroom (as well as in an effort to […]
Yet More Evidence of Retardation Among the Religious
Published by September 5th, 2007 in You Must be F***ing Kidding, Reality Trumps 'God' and One Thousand Words. 0 CommentsThere’s simply no way that we can extend the concept of tolerance to any practitioners of the following examples of egregious stupidity:
Officials at Nepal’s state-run airline have sacrificed two goats to appease Akash Bhairab, the Hindu sky god, following technical problems with one of its Boeing 757 aircraft, the carrier said Tuesday.
Yep, goat sacrifice. In […]
Reality Check? (4 of 5)
Published by July 6th, 2007 in Reality Trumps 'God', O, Pine With Me and One Thousand Words. 0 CommentsWe’re not technologically capable — yet — of literally destroying the world. What we are capable of, however, is rendering its surface utterly inimical to human life. From that rather self-centered perspective alone, then, we should be careful about what we develop, deploy and refine.
It doesn’t matter if we use atomics or fusion weapons. It […]
Reality Check? (3 of 5)
Published by June 27th, 2007 in Reality Trumps 'God', O, Pine With Me and One Thousand Words. 2 CommentsKurt Vonnegut, in Cat’s Cradle, wrote of the world’s end.
It came through a bizarre molecular structure, a “new” way for water to freeze at room temperature, melting only at about 114 or so degrees Fahrenheit. A crystal of this Ice-Nine fell into the sea, followed by what he described as The Great Ah-Whoom, the sound […]
Reality Check? (2 of 5)
Published by June 19th, 2007 in Reality Trumps 'God', O, Pine With Me and One Thousand Words. 3 CommentsI had a boyfriend who was bashed, before I knew him. He was beaten with a bat and left for dead in a Dumpster. His skull was fractured in the attack, his jaw and teeth were badly damaged, and he lost a testicle. He was found and taken to an ER. A few more hours […]
Reality Check? (1 of 5)
Published by June 15th, 2007 in Reality Trumps 'God', O, Pine With Me and One Thousand Words. 3 CommentsCommenting on the institutional lunacy of the Bush administration got me thinking. I still can’t imagine any reason they’d be pressing so hard for useless wars on so many fronts — unless they sincerely believed that their behavior was going to facilitate their mythical Armageddon, followed by an equally-foolish “rapture”.
But if you look around the […]
A Library Containing One Book
Published by May 31st, 2007 in You Must be F***ing Kidding and Reality Trumps 'God'. 1 CommentA man responsible for intellectually retarding hundreds of thousands — if not tens of millions — of people from all around the world is getting ready to die. Unfortunately he’s not checking out fast enough and is busily legacizing himself in the form of a “museum” and “library” that was designed by an amusement-park firm.
No, […]
Ken Ham’s Creation Museum is holding its grand opening on Memorial Day — 28 May 2007 — amid much hoopla, hype and general stupidity on the part of dozens of gullible “journalists” and tens of thousands of slack-jawed ignorami.
As part of the festivities, PZ suggested putting together an anti-Ken blogabration. My entry follows the fold […]
Strange Beliefs and Odd Superstitions
Published by May 9th, 2007 in Reality Trumps 'God', O, Pine With Me and One Thousand Words. 0 CommentsWhat is it that separates superstition from belief?
What makes the difference between myth and faith?
To me, it’s a question of duration and quantity. The longer a superstition persists, the more akin to belief it becomes; the more people who believe in a myth, the closer to religion or faith it is.
The biggest reason an Israelite […]
Sense … or Sensibility
Published by May 2nd, 2007 in You Must be F***ing Kidding, Reality Trumps 'God', One Thousand Words and Advertising Matters. 0 CommentsContrast these two images and ask yourself about the value of intellect and rationalism versus “gut” feeling.
The first is an editorial cartoon. The second is another, of a different kind. Both come from My [Confined] Space.
That’s Einstein, bottom center, in the latter image.
Which seems more believable?
