  • Dealing with Fundamentalism: Secular alternative, or take back the church?

    What do you suppose is the better way to deal with the rampant fundamentalism in the world? Should we create new institutions, or reform existing ones from within?

          And to think that some people wonder why religious types voted overwhelmingly for Bush...

              ooooh oooooh its the same reason they believe in an invisible, all-knowing, all-seeing, everpresent deity and his "son" that walked on water, turned it into wine, then allowed the Romans to crucify him!

                Just to be safe, we should bomb every mosque and synagogue.

                Let's start with Mecca.

                  Jesus was way cool

                  by King Missile

                  Jesus was way cool
                  Everybody liked Jesus
                  Everybody wanted to hang out with him
                  Anything he wanted to do, he did
                  He turned water into wine
                  And if he wanted to
                  He could have turned wheat into marijuana
                  Or sugar into cocaine
                  Or vitamin pills into amphetamines

                  He walked on the water
                  And swam on the land
                  He would tell these stories
                  And people would listen
                  He was really cool

                  If you were blind or lame
                  You just went to Jesus
                  And he would put his hands on you
                  And you would be healed
                  That's so cool

                  He could've played guitar better than Hendrix
                  He could've told the future
                  He could've baked the most delicious cake in the world
                  He could've scored more goals than Wayne Gretzky
                  He could've danced better than Barishnikov
                  Jesus could have been funnier than any comedian you can think of
                  Jesus was way cool

                  He told people to eat his body and drink his blood
                  That's so cool
                  Jesus was so cool
                  But then some people got jealous of how cool he was
                  So they killed him
                  But then he rose from the dead
                  He rose from the dead, danced around
                  Then went up to heaven
                  I mean, that's so cool
                  Jesus was way cool

                  No wonder there are so many Christians
                  Christianity: The belief that a cosmic Jewish Zombie who was his own father can make you live forever if you symbolically eat his flesh and telepathically tell him you accept him as your master, so he can remove an evil force from your soul that is present in humanity because a rib-woman was convinced by a talking snake to eat from a magical tree...

                        I see Sava's troll against Christian places of worship didn't warrant a response.
