Last Friday, Bradlee Dean—one of those nut-job, loud-mouthed, TeaPartyPeople—was invited to the Minnesota House of Representatives to open the session in a non-denominational prayer. And this was his idea of a non-denominational prayer:
I know this is a non-denominational prayer in this chamber and it’s not about the Baptists and it’s not about the Catholics alone or the Lutherans or the Wesleyans or the Presbyterians, evangelicals or any other denomination but rather the head of the denomination and his name is Jesus, as every president up until 2008 has acknowledged. And we pray it. In Jesus’ name.
I actually feel bad for this guy. He spent $140,000 over the past five years to tell NYers the world was gonna end. And then it didn’t. Regardless of how much money he threw away, I’m just sad that he (and SO MANY other people) put such ridiculous amounts of faith into the Bible. I mean, if I picked up a Harry Potter tomorrow and started making prophecies from it and saying it was the word of God and the way to live, people would say I’m insane.
And that’s basically how I look at people who try to tell me the Bible is real. You’re insane.
Oh well. In other news: Who is Fat Jesus on the side in the pink shirt? I wanna be his friend.
So……I was one of those kids! I mean, not in the actual video, but I totally remember giving my first mini-sermon in elementary school. (my electric blue suit was SO fly…I miss that thing) I was such a little devout christian when I was little. I used to take NOTES in church like I needed to study for a final and I had all my different colored highlighters and bookmarks. If you could study your way into Heaven, I was definitely gonna be first in line.
LOL @ Growing up and reading actual Books though. Poor kids. Most of them will probably turn out to just be larger versions of their kid selves and brainwash a brand new generation.
A group of enterprising atheists is offering pet rescue services for the rapture!!!!! How smart is that!
WASHINGTON (AFP) – When judgment day comes — which some US Christian fundamentalists insist will happen on Saturday — have you thought about what you’re going to do with the family dog and cat?
In 26 US states, you could have them rescued and adopted by enterprising atheists who have set up a business to care for the animal companions of any Christians who are selected to go to heaven when Jesus Christ comes back.
“You’ve committed your life to Jesus. You know you’re saved. But when the Rapture comes, what’s to become of your loving pets who are left behind?” Eternal Earth-Bound Pets says on its website, offering to “take that burden off your mind.”
The post-doomsday pet rescue service already has 259 clients, who have paid $135 for the first pet and $20 for each additional pet at the same address, to ensure the faithful animal companions are looked after and loved even when their Christian owners have gone to the other side. (cont.)
