I can’t get enough of these facebook fail sites! What can I say? It’s pleasing to snicker at the public shows of WTF by others.

What do you think about the value and benefit of keeping your thoughts clear of lust, lude images, and fantasies? Is that a value left tot he religious? Should it be?
I read a note on facebook that struck me as rather amusing, yet at the same time naive and perhaps a bit misguided. Do you More >

Count on the best satirical source for news, The Onion, to hit on the truth behind our culture more than any of the “serious” news organizations. Case-in-point: Nation’s Experts Give Up, an amusing lament by scientists and experts on how Americans have ignored their advice for years. They give up!

I think every subgroup has its own set of buzzwords. Just ask anyone who’s attended business school about their “highly-functioning team synergy” or listen to a World of Warcraft gamer talk about anything…at all. Well, religions are like that too, and the one I’m most familiar with is Christianity. “Christianese” was, and is, part of More >

It was a Wednesday night and I was on the ground, rolling and gasping for air, laughter coming in wave after wave, cramping all my muscles and pushing tears out of the corners of my eyes. I was lost to the world, convulsing in heavy, wheezing laughs. But I hadn’t heard a good joke nor More >

I figured out why I gained so much weight after high school… I stopped believing in the charismatic gifts of the Holy Spirit! After that, worship went from being a full-contact sport to a meditative study hall. And since deconverting–shit–I must be the most out of shape I’ve ever been! I need the anointing, Lord! More >

I’m heading to bed for the night, and I thought I’d leave you with my revised version of a classic children’s prayer from the 18th century:
Now I lay me down to sleep.
Or toss and turn while counting sheep.
If I die before I wake
The funeral should have milkshakes.
Sweet dreams!

I once heard an incredible sermon that brought so much meaning to the Ephesians 5:18 [show] And do not get drunk with wine, for that is debauchery, but be filled with the Spirit, (ESV)
“And do not get drunk with wine, for that is dissipation, but be filled with the Spirit.” (Basically he encouraged us to be filled with something (namely: Jesus) other than alcohol – and I think we can all agree that the misuse of alcohol for fulfillment is a bad path to be on) However – it’s clear that the beauty of that sermon is not represented in these internet excerpts. Despite some of my skeptical views, I think there is some great stuff in the bible (and clearly there is some stuff that is obviously NOT great). This being said: On one hand I laugh at the absurdity of these people, and maybe they are only putting stuff out there “because it’s the internet”, but my other fear is that they are truly this disillusioned.
Continuing on this topic: Several years ago I remember hanging out with some friends and one guy saying “I want to need Jesus like a crack Baby needs crack”. At the time, even naive little me recognized the absurdity of the statement (not to mention the lack of respect for an actual “crack baby”). However amongst the others people nodded, perhaps even found the comment prolific – I found it unsettling, and now I see it even more as so….
This is just where my mind went when I saw this.

The first one remembered of a soda sold in northern Brazil callerd “Jesus”. It was a very very sugary one, supposedly guarana-based, but I could only feel a very sweet tutti fruti taste or so.
Ironically, the brand is name over the company owner Jesus Gomes, who is himself an atheist.
Oh, the best part is that Coca Cola Company bought Jesus in 2001.

A car accident caused her to become a nymphomaniac? Hilarious.
Apparently this same thing happened to another woman in San Francisco in 1964. She was hurt in a cable car accident and sued the railway for half a million dollars and was awarded $50,000 in 1970.

Part of me is amused by the faux-pop-culture spin being put on good old fashioned religious psychosis, but most of me finds this quite frightening. It’s one thing to believe in some imaginary sky-dude that helps your team win and hands out random miracles (while inexplicably withholding them from others), and a whole ‘nother thing to willingly participate in and even celebrate and encourage religious hysteria, which is quite clearly pathological.
It doesn’t make that much difference whether you are writhing around and babbling and sobbing because you’ve ingested massive psychoactive substances, or because your brain is secreting them on its own, you’re still batshit crazy, and batshit is scary.
