Drowning. LOL.

From Failblog.  This was too good not to share.  It looks ‘shopped, but if it isn’t, then some sign maker somewhere needs to be fired, then given a medal or something.

Bill Donohue: Gay Hater/Pederast Defender

Bill Donohue, of the indispensable Catholic League, defends rampant child abuse in the church:

Oh, they’re not children, they’re post-pubescent. It’s merely homosexuality. That’s the real evil here, can’t you see that? We’ve got to do something about those plunging neck-lines on the alter boy robes these 12 year-olds are wearing these days.

And just for the shit of it:

8 year-olds, dude.

Finding Shit is Hard

Xray Scan

It turns out that finding rare things in a sea of normal things is hard.  Incidentally, that’s what we rely upon when we go through TSA screening and they look for weapons on our person or in our carry-on baggage.

From the NPR Article:

“If you stick those 20 bags into a stack of 40 bags, so on average there’s a gun and knife in 50 percent of the bags,” Wolfe says, “people missed about 7 percent of the bags.”

But when he took the exact same 20 bags and stuck them in a stack of 2,000 bags so that the targets showed up only 2 percent of the time, people got significantly worse. “All of a sudden, people were missing about 30 percent of the bags,” Wolfe says.

Huh.  Well, now TSA screeners are going to be looking at baggage and nekkid pictures, so I bet they get super better at this.  Right? Right?

Wingnut Stupidity

There are some alarming results in a recent Harris poll. “Obama’s a socialist!” “Obama’s a Muslim!”

Sure, it’s not news to many that over 50% of the republicans polled feel this way but did you know that a full 25% of them think he’s the Antichrist?

Check out the education level breakdown. Stupidity Crisis indeed.

Florida Doctor Has Hissy Fit

Hippocratic OathA urologist in Florida hates the new healthcare plan, so he’s put up a passive aggressive sign saying he doesn’t want to treat people who voted for Obama.  Of course, he still has to treat them if he wants to keep his license/remain ethical, as per the Hippocratic Oath he took, but dammit, he wants to throw a hissy fit, and doggone it, he has.

Full story on Fox News, as if we could trust them, anyway.

Dr. Jim Spiegel Talks Shit

http://themakingofanatheist.com/

From the book’s website:
“Book Summary

Sigmund Freud famously dismissed belief in God as a psychological projection caused by wishful thinking. Today many of the “new atheists”—including Richard Dawkins, Daniel Dennett, Sam Harris, and Christopher Hitchens—make a similar claim, insisting that believers are delusional. Faith is a kind of cognitive disease, according to them. And they are doing all they can to rid the world of all religious belief and practice.

Christian apologists, from Dinesh D’Souza to Ravi Zacharias, have been quick to respond to the new atheists, revealing holes in their arguments and showing why theistic belief, and the Christian worldview in particular, is reasonable. In fact, the evidence for God is overwhelming, confirming the Apostle Paul’s point in Romans 1 that the reality of God is “clearly seen, being understood from what has been made so that men are without excuse” (Rom. 1:20, NIV).

So if the evidence for God is so plain to see, then why are there atheists? That is the question that prompted The Making of an Atheist. The answer I propose turns the tables on the new atheists, as I show that unbelief is a psychological projection, a cognitive disorder arising from willful resistance to the evidence for God. In short, it is atheists who are the delusional ones.

Unlike Dawkins and his ilk, I give an account as to how the delusion occurs, showing that atheistic rejection of God is precipitated by immoral indulgences, usually combined with some deep psychological disturbances, such as a broken relationship with one’s father. I also show how atheists suffer from what I call “paradigm-induced blindness,” as their worldview inhibits their ability to recognize the reality of God manifest in creation. These and other factors I discuss are among the various dimensions of sin’s corrupting influence on the mind.

I’ve been told that The Making of an Atheist is a provocative book, but I didn’t write it to provoke anyone. I simply wanted to tell the truth about this issue. Anyway, since the new atheists are bold enough to trumpet their claim that theists are delusional, it seems appropriate that someone should be willing to propose that the opposite is true. As they say, turnabout is fair play.”

Dr. Speigel, turnabout is only fair play when there’s a clear victory for the other side. The fact is, no one has any evidence for a Christian god. Nor any other deity of organized religion. Yes, you are delusional.

Pay Women to Play Games with You

GameCrush

GameCrush is a site where you pay $0.66/minute to play videogames with women.

The women are compensated $30/hour to put up with the men that would frequent such a site.

For more info: GameCrush press page

As Penny Arcade put it in this comic and news post, you’re essentially renting women (buying a hooker) from a digital storefront (brothel).  I mean… paying women to…play games…with..you.

Divine Law School

Ugh. Yet another pompous, god-fearing windbag is out to educate the American Public (read: tea-baggers) on the real intent of our founding fathers.

They’ve even got ordained ministry teaching some of the classes, in case you really want the unbiased truth.
