You Take Things Too Literally

OK, OK, I'm on a Yoo Toob vid-out, but there's so much incredible stuff out there, once you start, it's pretty hard to stop.

The most remarkable thing about this one is that someone took the time to make it, and of course the excellent ironical satire behind it, driving the point home.

Sweet.

Adam & Even Her

Love this. It's pretty cute.

Still explaining stuff to the afflicted that the rest of us know already, but none the less funny/peculiar for it.

Giving Up My Religion

Giving Up My Religion

Sorry I've been away for so long folks, but thanks for still stopping by.

Just discovered the sweetest little vid - if you're ever wanting the gentlest but still pretty straightforward way of convincing someone to 'Give it up' (religion, not 'for' religion) then this might do the trick.

Beautifully put (I was going to say 'argued' but it's not even that) from a gently spoken man who talks from a point of view I can never share, as I was never indoctrinated in the first place, but his humility and humanity speaks volumes.

It's funny, for a Brit like myself, to hear a Statesian speaking like this, when we have their reputation as a 'God-fearing' nation (lovely), but then again we all know they're not all that lost. The pressure of society can be a terrible thing though.

I Believe In Dreams

Oh yes, I do, folks! Sorry to disappoint you, but spirituality (i.e. having feelings) has nothing to do with boring, blubbering religions, and everything to do with us folks these days.

As any teenager and otherworldly thinker will tell you.

We all like to dream.

By the way, I used to headbang to this waaayyyy back in 1987 I think it was, when I went to a cool hippie / hard rock place during my decadent uni days in Bradford. Those were, indeed, the days. <sigh>

Working Out For Jesus

Working Out For Jesus

Thanks to The Freethinker for this one, and a great article to boot.

Seems that a Kentucky artist is leading a butched-up Jesus. According to the Guardian article, 'This time he's less "gentle Jesus, meek and mild" and more of a kick-ass action hero - a Chuck Norris in sandals'.

Just what we all need. The new beefed-up saviour movement includes books like 'No More Mr Christian Nice Guy' and 'The Church Impotent - the Feminisation of Christianity'.

Apparently the model for the picture above was a surfer dude who was 'built like a brick shithouse' according to the artist. Nice. Painting tatts on onself is generally frowned on by the Big Daddy, though, but hey, who gives a monkey's, right?

I reckon Jesus freaks must be a bit jealous about the excesses their mirror images over in Muslimland can go to in real life and which they can only see for fake in movies. Where there's frustration there's usually bad things to follow. Where will it all end? When we stop believing in fairy tales?
