I think I'm 'over' with my anti-religious blogging. I started this blog as a way of dealing with the big religious questions that confused my life and boggled my mind while leaving Christianity a few years ago and I think I've said everything I want to say about that. I want to blog about things that don't pertain to religion and I don't want to be stuck to a theme on my blog anymore. I don't want to start a new blog either for my mundane random rants. This may mean that various feeds, blogrolls, and the like will want to delete me from their lists. I will STILL be posting some religious parodies as I find them, so I'm not going to delete myself from any aggregates unless the content starts to wane disproportionately.

(From I-Mockery) After Han Solo learns that Luke hasn't come back in from his patrol on Hoth and he's stuck outside in the freezing cold, Han tells an Echo Base officer that he's going to go out to look for his friend. The officer warns him that his tauntaun will freeze before he reaches the first marker, and Han replies "Then I'll see you in Hell!" and kicks his tauntaun into first gear. Mentioning such an Earth-specific concept like "Hell" seems really out-of-place in a Star Wars movie (especially when no religion other than the Force is ever mentioned), and it's always stuck out in my mind every time he says it. But he says it in such a totally dickish way that it never fails to make me grin, even though it does seem oddly out of place. 

Julia Sweeney says she was a "happy Catholic girl" when, one day, she walked into church and signed up for a Bible-study course. "What an eye opener that was!" she says. "Next thing you know, I was on a quest for something I could really believe in. I traveled to places like Bhutan, Ecuador, and my local Starbucks looking for answers. Would I embrace Buddhism? New Age pseudo-science? Was I a freak for feeling the way I did, or were there other people out there just like me? I was grappling with serious questions. But, somehow, a lot of the things that were happening to me seemed, well, funny." Equally comedic and insightful, Letting Go of God is Sweeney's brilliant one-woman show about her struggle with her faith. Grappling with the seeming contradictions in Adam and Eve, Noah, the Ten Commandments, and even the teachings of Jesus - and trying to understand the Bible's messages about morality, family values, and human suffering while faced with door-knocking Mormons and wise-cracking priests - Sweeney takes listeners on her very personal journey from God to "not-God".

Praise the Lord for all the cash I've got
Praise him for my Rolls Royce and my yacht
Serving God ain't hard, with a credit card
Jesus died so I could make a lot...
Praise the Lord, he's made us millionaires
Wave your donations in the air
We've replaced our hymns with ATMs
And soon we'll charge a fee on every prayer...
Jesus Christ was a poor man, don'cha know
He should have used our accountants for his cash flow
Stuff the sermon on the mount, he should have had a bank account
2000 years with interest... He'd be rolling in the dough.....
Praise the Lord, this song is out on CD
Just $40.95 plus GST
Hallelujah, plenty of moulah
Solid gold baubles on my Christmas tree...
I've got all of heaven's riches!!!
Thanks to all you stupid bitches.
Praise the Lord for modern Christianity...
Whoever said religion should be free...
(The Chaser's War on Everything)
PETA asks the Christians at KFC: "What would Jesus think of the fact that you’re not willing to even lift a finger to help the 850 million chickens killed for your restaurants, even though it is entirely within your power to do so? I’m not trying to be some Biblical scholar here, but honestly, it is just plain evil to continue to cause massive suffering when there are simple changes that can be made, and have been made by other fast food joints."
What would Jesus do? He had no problem sending an evil spirit into a herd of swine and letting them die, so maybe the 850 million chooks are the vessels for modern exorcised demons. All sorts of turtle doves and goats paid the price for sins and such in the old good book. I think a Chicken saviour is long overdue. A chosen chook should be raised up and cruci-fried for the sins of the colonel... hmm, maybe Pam Anderson is that old chook?
