  • What the hell is wrong with these people!

    Take a look at this idiocy from My kind of vandals:

    Atheists have been vandalizing my beliefs for years, so it’s about time the shoe was on the other foot.

    I would like to extend my deepest thanks to the man or woman responsible for this vandalism. I appreciate the action you took. Thank you for reminding me that I’m not alone. It took a lot of guts to do what you did – and the fact that you haven’t stepped forward to take credit makes you a hero. It shows everyone that you are more devoted to the message than you are to the spotlight. I encourage you to keep your cover. Don’t give the secular world a reason to call your name; instead, let them call for our God.

    How have atheists vandalized fundies beliefs, is beyond me. If it suits their ridiculous beliefs then vandalism and violence are a good thing.  And then she complains about her rights as a Christian being disrespected by atheists.

    Another fine example of religious intolerance and lack of common sense.

  • Jesus Appears in Portuguese Playboy

    Jesus Appears in Portuguese Playboy (Updated)

    On his way to an appearance on a grilled cheese sandwich, Jesus took a wrong turn and found himself in a Portuguese brothel. What would Jesus do? Here’s Portuguese Playboy to answer this urgent question with NSFW photos.

    To mark Nobel-winning writer Jose Saramago‘s death, Portuguese Playboy took inspiration from Saramago novel The Gospel According to Jesus Christ—a fictional reimagining of Christ’s life as a flawed human—with explicit images showing Jesus glowing in the corner during a lesbian sex scene, next to a street hooker, and over the shoulder of a random topless lady reading a book. (Is she supposed to be a Catholic schoolgirl?)

    Update: Playboy Enterprises tells us that it plans to shutter the Portuguese edition because of the controversial cover/photo shoot.

  • Can Jesus Make A Burrito So Hot He Couldn’t Eat It?

    Even the cartoon character Homer Simpson (who posed this question) has a philosopher within. And though he is not exactly the paradigm of reverence, the question is a real one for any philosophically reverent person. For one of the first properties that believers ascribe to God is that He is omnipotent or all-powerful, which means at least that there is or could be nothing God cannot do. And here is where Homer’s question fits in—or at least a somewhat more reverent version thereof:

    Can God create a stone so heavy that He cannot lift it?

    There are only two possible answers here: yes or no.

    Suppose, first, we say no. But then there is something that God cannot do: create such a stone. And if there’s something He cannot do then He is not omnipotent after all.

    So suppose we say yes. If God can create such a stone then there could exist a stone so heavy God could not lift it. But then there could be something God cannot do, namely lift that stone. And if there could be something God cannot do, then again He is not omnipotent after all.

    Some try to avoid this conclusion by insisting that God simply never will make the stone, so there never will actually exist the thing He cannot do. But this doesn’t work. To be omnipotent, it’s not enough that there happens to be nothing He cannot do. Rather, there could not even possibly be something He cannot do. And if He can create that stone—even if He doesn’t— then there could be something He cannot do, namely lift it.

    Since yes and no are the only possible answers and each leads to the same conclusion, then either way there is no omnipotent being. So if God is supposed to be omnipotent it follows that there is no God.

    That’s some powerful burrito!
