War on Christianity?

By
Harry Bathwater

Let it be known, I have declared war on Christians and all other religions. Let it be known, I am hostile to Christianity and all other religions. Let it be known. If you believe in all this superstitious rubbish then you are a fool!

The Republicans know they are in serious trouble and stand a very good chance of being trounced in the election this November and so they are now trying to whip up some hysteria amongst their religious base with this "War on Christianity".

The only good thing I have to say about Bush and his evil band of incompetents is that I don’t believe they have a religious bone in their bodies.
They are simply using this god nonsense to attract poor, un-educated believers who don’t know any better.

Evoloution is now called the "E-word"

This should be the start of our battle to reclaim America.

Unbelievable!

Harry Bathwater

This facility should be closed down rather that than teach dangerous pseudo science.
I came to America 20 years ago and I can’t believe how stupid this country is becoming!
It’s as though we’re living inside a science fiction movie and the mindless zombie hoards are stumbling around destroying all common sense.
The thing is. It’s not a movie. It’s real. It’s actually happening.
America is going backwards.

Unfortunately for the teachers, at wherever this is, they are on the front line in this struggle and have been thrust into a very unpleasant position.
They need to make a stand. It is too important to simply “grin and bear it”
I realize that it’s easy for me to order others into battle when my livelihood isn’t on the line but I make this prediction.
If those involved make a lot of noise and attract enough national publicity, if they do loose, and their jobs are no longer funded, they will be offered new jobs by others on their side. Others who feel strongly about the alarming direction in which America is heading and are in a position to provide employment to teachers with principles and a deep concern for the future of both their students and America as a whole.

In fact, the call should go out now for someone to step forward and make it clear to these embattled educators that they will be offered new positions should the worst happen.

David Letterman v. Bill O'Reilly

By Harry Bathwater

Take a look at this video of O’Reilly on the David Letterman show.
About 2/3 of the way through O’Reilly refers to Britain’s MI6.

The problem for O’Reilly is that he thinks they are called M1-6 (M One 6)
The MI stands for "Military intelligence".

He's confusing Britain’s main freeway (Motorway) the M1 with the countries main intelligence gathering organization.

By the way. This is the definition of a "Freedom Fighter Vs Terrorist"
You are a Terrorist if you target civilians.
You are a Freedom Fighter if your targets are military.

I understand that by saying this I am calling the leaders of my own country, England, terrorists because they carpet bombed Dresden in Germany during WWII but I accept that. At that moment in history it needed to be done.

On the other hand, those who use “IEDs” to destroy military convoys are freedom fighters. I am simply talking semantics here. The people who plant IEDs are still bad people. The use of the term "Freedom Fighter" conjures up a romantic image of an underdog caught in a "David and Goliath" struggle. Not all freedom fighters are fighting for a just cause by any means.

Any act of war that targets civilians is an act of terrorism. However, if civilians are harmed because of their close proximity to a legitimate military target that is an unfortunate consequence of a war zone and not terrorism.

Bush in Cleveland: Signs of the Apocalypse

The answer is NO!

In fact his answer should have been "No of course not! and stop being so bloody stupid! Apocalypse indeed. Anyone who believes that should seek psychiatric help, like now!"

Bill Maher: NBC Richard Belzer Vs Congresswoman Ros-Lehtinen

Would the World please wake up and help us do something?!!!!

This is terrifying.
In his new book "American Theocracy” Kevin Phillips explains how religious extremism is influencing the White House. He was recently interviewed by Lou Dobbs on CNN and made this shocking claim:

Phillips: One of the reasons I think we have kind of screwed up economic policy in some ways is that a lot of Americans have stopped worrying about the economy because they're waiting for the second coming.

Dobbs: And you mean this quite literally?

Phillips: I mean it quite literally.

Why bother to buy new clothes or a new car?
Jesus is coming soon.

World, please get of your butts and stand up to this country and help those of us here on the inside to turn things around.

If god is so omnipotent ...

By
Harry Bathwater

If god is so omnipotent why was he unable to remove 4 nails from two planks of wood?

And I can only imagine that, when Jesus returns, the last thing he’s going to want to see are crosses!

It's not up to me to prove that god doesn't exist.

By
Harry Bathwater

I recently received an email from someone who runs a Christian website, and in answer to my comment that god doesn't exist they asked me to "Prove it"

I'm sorry but that is the wrong way round.

If you believe something and you want others to believe it also, the onus is on you to prove your theory using evidence and data.

There is no evidence and data backing up a belief in god because there is no such thing as god.

If I was to assert that all living things were created by the Flying Spaghetti Monster you would want me to provide proof. I can't because it's untrue.

I challenge anyone to point to ANY firm evidence, not feelings or anecdotal stories but actual duplicateable evidence, that shows god exists.

You can’t because he doesn’t.

I can, however, give you mountains of logic that disproves his existance. Mountains of it!!

Poverty-Stricken Africans Receive Desperately Needed Bibles.

MARADI, NIGER—More than 60,000 urgently needed Bibles arrived to allay suffering throughout the famine-stricken nation of Niger Friday, in one of the largest humanitarian-relief operations ever attempted by a Christian ministry.
"Come rejoice, and feast upon the word of Our Lord, Jesus Christ," said Christina Clarkson, executive director of the Living Light Ministries of Lubbock, TX. "Those who were hungry, hunger no more, for the Word brings life."

Before you get too angry this is a "piss take"

Atheism. Our only chance for peace?

By SLAVOJ ZIZEK

FOR centuries, we have been told that without religion we are no more than egotistic animals fighting for our share, our only morality that of a pack of wolves; only religion, it is said, can elevate us to a higher spiritual level. Today, when religion is emerging as the wellspring of murderous violence around the world, assurances that Christian or Muslim or Hindu fundamentalists are only abusing and perverting the noble spiritual messages of their creeds ring increasingly hollow. What about restoring the dignity of atheism, one of Europe's greatest legacies and perhaps our only chance for peace?

We have evidence that a Flying Spaghetti Monster created the universe.

It's followers are "Pastafarians" and this sounds as convincing as ID does.

Did 308,000 cancelled Ohio voter registrations put Bush back in the White House?

This is an eyeopener by Bob Fitrakis and Harvey Wasserman.

While life goes on during the Bush2 nightmare, so does the research on what really happened in Ohio in 2004 to give George W. Bush a second term.

Did the NSA help Bush hack the vote?

This is a great article by Bob Fitrakis.

What do we make of the President boldly proclaiming that he has “spy powers?” Does he have X-ray vision too?

American Atheist Logo.

(This is from the American Atheist website)

An international symbol for Atheism has long been needed. When American Atheists was formed in 1963, a contemporary scientific symbol was chosen; this acknowledges that only through the use of scientific analysis and free, open inquiry can humankind reach out for a better life.
Recognizing the new atomic era, but also emphasizing the truths of older scientific findings, the atomic whirl was chosen. The atom is still a distinguishing unit of all matter, the smallest particle of an element that can exist and still retain the properties of that element.
You may notice that one of the orbital in our symbol is broken, or open-ended. This demonstrates that while Atheists rely on the scientific method for learning about the cosmos and increasing our knowledge about nature, we know that "not all of the answers are in." We recognize that with new knowledge come new questions and areas for human inquiry and exploration.
That open orbital forms an "A" to represent Atheism. The small letter in the center represents of the first letter of the country in which an affiliated group is located. In our case, the "A" signifies American, and the symbol thus represents American Atheists.

If you agree with this presidency and still support everything they have done, then you too should be thrown in jail!

War on Christmas?

By
Harry Bathwater
I celebrate Christmas and I enjoy it. Of course, it has no religious meaning to me whatsoever.

If fact I enjoy pointing out to believers that they go to church on Sunday a day that celebrates Sunne the Germanic sun goddess.

They start the work week on Monday named after Mani a German Moon god.

Tuesday is named after the Nordic god Tyr.

Wednesday comes from the Old English Wodnesdæg meaning the day of the Germanic god Woden who was a god of the Anglo Saxons in England until about the 7th C. AD.

Thursday is a good one. It’s named after Thor, the Norse god of thunder.

Friday is from Frige the Norse god of beauty.

Saturday is the only day of the week to retain its Roman origin in English, named after the Roman god of time Saturn.

January is named for Janus, the god of doors and gateways in Roman mythology.

February was probably named for the Roman god Februus, the god of purification or the Roman god Juno Februata the goddess of passion.

March was called Martius, so named after the Roman god of war and was considered a lucky time to begin a war.

If fact all the months are named in honour of Roman divinities.

So there you have it. If uninformed Christians want to try and accuse me of an inconsistency because they hear me wish someone a “Merry Christmas” I let em have it with both barrels!

New Header

The time has come to admit out loud, that a belief in god is an irrational and dangerous fallacy. Atheists need to stand up and proselytize. We need to spread the good news that god is a myth, there is no devil and that no one ever burns in hell.
IT’S ALL JUST A LOAD OF BOLLOCKS!
