Comedians … and usually only comedians. The rest of us need to be polite and respectful of other beliefs—or so I’m told.
Here’s a hilarious gem from David Cross of Arrested Development fame. If I could see a live routine, I’d be in heaven (riding in the back of my hot pink Hummer limo with St. Michael acting as my chauffeur).

I’ll tell ya who…me/you/us aka The New Atheists.

Hilarious!
I was forced into being a catholic, baptized, confirmed, altar boy and hundreds of weekends at church. Can I make fun of religion now that I’m engaging in rational, free thought? Godamn right I can!
Everybody’s a comedian.
The people who do the best job of making fun of religion, are the people who once-upon-a-time really, really believed the stuff. So many comedians totally miss the mark – though not all. I’m pretty critical of religious satire – because so often the satire exposes how much the comedian doesn’t understand about the subject they are skewering. The same argument could be made for serious debaters – maybe.
O- and Kris is allowed to do whatever he likes under any circumstance.
So many arguments against Christianity (or atheism, for that matter) fall flat because the person making the argument lacks a full understanding. If I had a nickel for every sweeping generalization or faulty use of vocabulary or text…
Ah well!
That seems like an easy out for apologists. I mean, some people really do argue out of ignorance, but you can also move the goalposts when faced with a solid argument and claim victory.
Furthermore – David Cross should totally do a Jay Bakker routine – because he totally could. He just needs to add some piercings and face tatts – and a five oclock shadow – and he’d totally nail it… (Full disclosure – i think Jay is cute as a button).
Love your site. Hope you don’t mind, but I linked you on my blog.
Keep up the fantastic work! See you around the ‘net.
That’s so kind of you! Thanks
