God's Facebook

Phony facebook phriends

I've decided to cull my facebook friends. I only want a hundred of them. It think it's a great number (100), a nice round number. I'm not interested in building a huge bank of online acquaintances and facebook is no fun unless people interact or there's some commonality, or at least a decent amount of knowledge of each other. 

I don't have a lot of friends, as I grew up mostly in church and didn't think to befriend many of the 'unsaved'. I left all my lifelong friends back at the cult and it was them that kept me in there for so long. The thought of starting life with no friends was extraordinarily daunting, but I am soooooooooooooooooo glad I got out when I did, especially for my kids. 

I found that friends are really difficult to maintain outside of church systems. There's no pastor to mediate between friends after a fight, or to handle money problems between them. People aren't as blindly forgiving as church friends were (I could be a dickhead and people would 'have' to forgive me asap). And friends were much more regularly seen and all had the same common delusion to ramble on about.

Although I may be friend and attention needy now after so many years of religiousity, I don't want fake friends and I've got a rough set of criteria for my facebook:

1. I cut someone today for talking about how great church was this weekend... I don't come on to facebook to hear about your cult and the poor saps who got converted into it on the weekend. That's just depressing.
2. If you haven't ever responded to me after numerous posts on your facebook.. I may not be a fantastic person but at least talk to me once. 
3. If you've been inactive for 3 months. Maybe you're over it?
   
4. if you have over 400 friends than I think you may be collecting numbers and not friends.
5. If you don't have a picture of your actual face on your facebook profile, it sort of defeats the purpose, by definition. Don't be ashamed of your face. If you really have a problem with the shape of your head, do something artistic, and just show your nose, or the back of your head. 

Hello, I must be going

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.

I grew tired of personal religion bagging blogging a while back and decided to use the blog to post Christian parody and satire. I think I've got the best collection of such material here and I'll continue to add to it when I happen across it. My links on the right hand column are fairly comprehensive for anyone who likes to have a laugh at the mainstream Christian mindset - even Christians should learn to laugh at themselves. I've spent a year collecting the BEST of it and it's all here. I have been noticing that the source of this material is drying up and I rarely seen new unique Christian satire or websites anymore. 

Although I've called myself an atheist in times past, I'm really not. I'm open to the idea that everything I know about the universe could be wrong, that the seemingly obvious (un)supernaturality of it all is in fact the opposite. The idea that atoms exist and stick together in Angelina Jolie shaped clumps is supernatural enough for me to entertain the idea of a creator. But at this stage of the game I'm yet to see, hear of feel anything that truly convinces me that the Christian god exists and gives a damn about me.

I have many Christian friends that I admire and don't want to offend anymore with continuous belief bashing. True, I think most of them are weak minded loons who have stuck themselves into endless logic eddys of idiocy, but I also have friends who make good cases for their beliefs and I respect them personally AND will continue to weigh up their beliefs against my own. The. I'm an agnostic and will continue to ponder on the idea that the universe I'm a part of was manufactured by an omnipresent alien that has this ridiculously complicated plan to bring about some sort of salvation.

This blog never gained much of a readership anyway, and that's probably because I don't engage with other similarly themed blogs. I rarely even get Christian trolls popping on to tell me I'm going to hell anymore, and that's no fun when that well of entertainment dries up. I read the material in feeds and will continue to. The blog seems to get a lot of hits because of Religious Simpsons' quotes, Barbie Bridge's (Barbi Bridges - Pastor Melissa Scott) nude pictures, Hitchen's quotes, Evil Disney, and the combinations of the words Bible and Christian Porn.

I've been merging blogs into this 'one' so as to not ignore them. facebook has my attention and I can't see that waning. There is a blog facility on facebook, but it's not the same. This is my web log and my narcissistic self is its thrust. My name is Moth. Hi.

When Hoth freezes over

(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

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".

Hill$ong church parody - Praise the Lord

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...

Kentucky Fried Crucifixion

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?
