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.

Moth,

As long as there are Bobbleheads loose in the world, we can never have enough blogs on the blogroll. Mine isn't exclusively atheist-related either -- not by a long shot. It covers a wide variety of topics, both of public and private interest and I tend to read similar stuff from other bloggers.

Drop a line when you need to; we'll be here.

Hey, thanks for the support. Yeah, I looked up the Planet Atheist and they are fine with blogs that are even only 50% themed. So that's fine. There'll be a lot this theme left in me.

Hi Chic o' Snake, no facebook? no blogs? What else is there online nowadays, other than porn? I'm just too busy for any blog. MSN is just annoying... waiting for people to reply while trying to watch Dexter and do stuff. Facebook has me by the short and curlies and I'm a complete whore for it. ha. Merry Hoe 'ho.

I know this might be a bit late... but thanks for being here, and I'll continue to come back to go through your archives. Former hard-core christian blogs are still in the minority... plenty of never-really-been-to-church atheists blogs out there, which i find to be too predictable and oversimplified. I understand the feeling of getting it out of your system.
And thanks ...

Becoming an Atheist is like having an orgasm. You have a huge load that cums out and you shout and scream and oh shit it feels so good... but after a while you're not so shouty. You are still strong, but not like when you first blew your wad.
