IDoNotGetIt

This is a great article about the ridiculous position that Christians have taken over the rights of gays.  Their religious bias and persecution complex are so ridiculous and it really shows with how they are fighting this battle.

They behave as if their rights are being taken away right and left but jackasses like Fred are evidence that they have nothing to worry about.  As long as he is out there spewing his toxic bile-filled messages, they can be assured that their rights haven’t been taken away.

I love the way people around here just can’t imagine that everyone around them isn’t Christian.

We had a looong devotional in our department meeting this morning. The good news is that we don’t need to worry about anything because Jebus has everything under control. So just sit back, relax and enjoy the show.

I wish Christians would follow their own idiotic advice.

I could not stop laughing at this description of what it’s like working with Adobe’s PSD file format.  This part is from the comments of this FARK item.  The source code comment that this FARK article is referencing is funny but this comment on the FARK site is even more funny.

PenguinTheRed: I’d ask someone to explain this to those of us who don’t understand WTF is going on here, but as for myself, I’d probably still not understand. I’ll just go back to playing with sticks and rocks…

You want to butter your bread in the morning to eat with your morning coffee.

You wake up and then ask your wife to grab you a knife while you get the butter and bread.

On Monday, the butter is upside down in the freezer and your wife puts all the knives in the dishwasher and starts it instantly.

On Tuesday, the butter is out of the container and spread out on the kitchen floor and your wife takes a knife and stabs you in the heart.

On Wednesday, the butter is in the refrigerator with a knife in the container…but the lid is welded shut and you are unable to open it.

On Thursday, when you wake up, the butter and knife are already sitting next to you on the bed…but all the bread is moldy and green.

On Friday, you commit suicide.

That’s what it is like using PSD.

Nope, I can’t take it.  After 13 minutes of this movie, it has been one stupid argument after another.  It’s an all-star cast of bad arguments and absolutely no Startling Proofs.  That’s a totally misleading title. 

Some of the jewels so far: entropy, tornado in junk yard, delicate balance in nature proves design.

I downloaded this video called “Startling Proofs: Does God Really Exist” off Bittorrent.  I thought I could make a blog post out of tearing it apart.  However, after just the first 4 minutes of the hour long movie, I’ve already got more than one blog post’s worth of material.

They start off with the watchmaker argument but here are some of the quotes that follow their presentation of the watchmaker argument.

From the wonderfully simple mind of Dave Hunt International Author, Berean Call Ministries

There are a lot of evidences’ for the existence of god.  The bible talks about the universe, for example.  I think that you would have to be, in my opinion, an idiot to think that this universe happened by chance, that life and intelligence sprang from dead empty space.  It just couldn’t happen.”

So there are a lot of evidence’s for the existence of god but you’re not going to provide any… thanks a lot.  but I totally agree with this tool that you’d have to be an idiot to think that life and intelligence sprang from dead empty space.  It couldn’t happen and I don’t know of anyone besides Christian strawmen who believe that.

After he finishes showing his ignorance, they lead right into another brilliant fella who tells us all about cause and effect.  This is Dr. Don Patton – Professor, Practical Geologist (better listen to him, he’s got a PhD.

I think most people understand the concept of cause and effect.  You see something happen, you immediately look… ‘Why did it happen’, ‘what’s the cause’.  That’s how science functions; we can’t function without the concept of cause and effect.  And when we look at the effect, the amazing design and the tremendous effects, we must have a tremendous cause, logically, in order to account for it.”

Looking at an effect and saying “ooh, this is big, it must have a huge cause, cool God did it”.  No, that’s not how science works.  What is the tremendous cause for a nuclear blast?  Neutrons, which have a mass of 1.67492729×10−27 kg.

Moving right on to the next asshat, Peter Lalonde – This Week in Bible Prophecy.

The idea that something even as simple as a pencil could have simply happened by chance, well, it’s unbelievable.”

Once again, you’re absolutely correct.  Pencils have no way to replicate and therefore no way to come into existence without our bringing them into existence.  Since this is obvious to anyone with a brain, the only reason to bring it up is to imply that non-creationist believe otherwise.  No one believes that life sprang from nothing.  That isn’t what evolution describes.  And we don’t know what caused the universe to come into existence.  We are still looking and in the mean time, the correct answer to the question “What caused the universe?” is “we don’t know yet” and not “god did it”.

Now let me see if I can stand watching some more of this insane movie.  I still can’t believe that all came from the first 4 minutes!

As I was leaving my brother’s house the other day, I noticed this chalk board next to the door in his garage.  I almost choked on my Mountain Dew.
