Isn't it Homer with cookies saying "If you want them to eat me for you, God, give me no sign."

This is followed by the funniest line of the bit: "Thy will be done."

LOL

2. Vatican slams California firm's cloning experiments

Comment #114037 by TrashcanMan79 on January 21, 2008 at 9:05 am

The experiments carried out by Stemagen Corp., a private company based in La Jolla, California, are the "worst exploitation of the human being which thus becomes an object of research," said Elio Sgreccia, who heads the Pontifical Academy for Life.

Omitted was Sgreccia's next statement: "And, trust me, we know a lot about exploitation of the human being!"

How do you get an article put up on the site?

I am wondering the same thing...

The book mentioned in the article is a very fascinating and telling read. Recommended.

5. Faith schools should not be tax-funded, and here's why

It's amazing how easily some men automatically classify anything remotely to do with women as "women's issues" i.e. "not my business" and "you women can take care of it".

I meant millions of you BRITS you doofus!

Wendelin, will you be removing that vagina-shaped chip off your shoulder any time soon?

All the best.

6. Griffin's 'offensive' Emmy speech to be censored

Comment #69540 by TrashcanMan79 on September 11, 2007 at 4:38 pm

The comedian's remarks were condemned Monday by Catholic League President Bill Donohue, who called them a "vulgar, in-your-face brand of hate speech."

Hate speech?

I'm in shock. I'm totally speechless...

...out of fear that anything I might say will be considered "hateful".

Good god!

8. Honest Mistakes or Willful Mendacity

Comment #68171 by TrashcanMan79 on September 6, 2007 at 9:30 am

Lying for Jesus. Someone really should write a book with that title. Either a very vitriolic atheist or an honest christian apologist (if such a thing exists.)

There is a book, though not with that title, that does expose Evangelical deceit in their so-called 'counter-cult' ministries. *According to wikipedia* the author is agnostic.

See if your library has a copy. I couldn't imagine anyone willing to shell out $80 for it.

Best.

Once again The Onion succeeds in NOT making me laugh.

10. In God, Distrust

I shall be using "god-worship" from now on.

Me, too. I think a new meme has been born.

11. The New Atheists loathe religion far too much to plausibly challenge it

Comment #38211 by TrashcanMan79 on May 7, 2007 at 8:30 am

It's funny that those who have the most to lose by the success of the 'New Atheists,' are the ones criticising them for utilizing ineffective methods. Could it be that, despite their tone, the New Atheists are having success, and their critics are just fearful that their hostility will be contagious?
