When the sacred separation of pump and prayer is violated the end times are near.

Would'nt rain dancers be more suited for this?

2. New Zealand man sells his soul to 'Hell'

Comment #203821 by TIKI AL on July 3, 2008 at 5:52 pm

George Bush sold his soul during that brief period when the 2000 TV election returns coverage flashed Gore as the winner.

Can we sue the devil for the past 7.5 years?

3. Obama Wants to Expand Role of Religious Groups

Comment #203815 by TIKI AL on July 3, 2008 at 5:15 pm

OK, so republicans are corporate whores, and democrats are only corporate lap dancers.

But I do think if you hold your nose and vote for Obama we just might get a couple of actual human beings on the supreme court.

Under the Obama faith plan we could open a soup kitchen where you have to walk down a long hall filled with evolution exhibits to get to the chicken noodle.

Statues of Darwin, Dawkins, and George Carlin could "grace" the entrance.

I wonder if governor Bobby agrees with the Chuck Norris quote, "If I were president I would tatoo an American flag with "In God We Trust" on the forehead of every atheist."

Between Bush, Cheney, Jindal, and Norris, I feel like the US is turning into monkey island.

And then there was all of the "Tim Russert is in heaven" mumbo jumbo I had to listen to watching his wake today.

"One wonders what kind of a hospice he works in and, assuming it is not a specifically Christian one, whether he uses the opportunity to proselytise to the patients there." (epeeist)

Great point. A twelve step death program for a captive audience. No Jesus ...no heaven and NO HOT CHOCOLATE!

Actually a small step from the "no Jesus ...no soup or sobriety" programs that have been around forever.

Think anyone puts him in their will for showing them "the way"?

ketch 22: "My journey is a joke to you?"

A real side splitter to the point that if this were a GOP blog I would suspect you might be a site traffic increaser.

If you were on a real "journey" you would actually listen to and at least consider some of the excellent points made in earnest here.

Comparing your journey to a trip from San Fran to New York, you ran out of gas on the Golden Gate. (an excellent place to hone flying skills)

Wow! Too bad ketch22 didn't post that whopper #86 first. Would have saved some time and effort, no?

It reminded me of a lady who called me about a couch I was selling, and after asking 30 questions about it said, "You don't have a cat, do you? I'm deathly allergic to them."

We had a cat.

Comment #188256 by TIKI AL on June 3, 2008 at 1:38 pm

At long last the only real truth can be taught!

One designer could never have created all of this bounty. There are two, Twit and Twat, and they move from one human host to another to monitor and fine tune their masterpiece.

They currently reside in Pamela Anderson's natural breasts.

That should give the would be "Deliverence" cast members something to nibble on.

12. Richard Dawkins Interview on TVOntario

Comment #181868 by TIKI AL on May 18, 2008 at 1:51 pm

Is it possible that the "panel" members have merely found "jobs" that allow them to laugh all the way to the bank?

Or are they really delusional victims of generational brainwashing that I should pity?

13. Richard Dawkins Interview on TVOntario

It would have been nice to have someone on the "panel" representing Voo Doo doctrine.

They would have fit right in.

14. Richard Dawkins Interview on TVOntario

Comment #181452 by TIKI AL on May 17, 2008 at 8:46 am

How utterly embarassing to have a major ADD attack on TV, insert Richard Dawkins name by mistake, and lose your entire second sentence.

What he tried to say was:

"George Bush is not a deep thinking person. Without religion he would have been unable to communicate directly with God to receive the most brilliant foreign policy ever enacted by the United States of America."

15. Richard Dawkins discusses Einstein's new letters

Comment #180007 by TIKI AL on May 14, 2008 at 5:15 am

Perhaps Einstein wanted to remain somewhat foggy on religion to prevent potential funding problems by godbots.

19. Richard Dawkins and Bill Maher

Comment #164723 by TIKI AL on April 20, 2008 at 3:39 pm

HBO's sponsors pressured them to make Bill Maher apologize for saying that the Pope was a Nazi on his show last week.

So he said Friday on "RealTime" that when he said that the Pope was a Nazi that he was wrong, and that the Pope was merely in the Hitler Youth, and swore allegiance to Hitler, which was worse.

He also stood by and repeated his statement that if the Pope was a CEO of a day care facility, and that much abuse took place, he would be in jail.

Nice "apology", Bill!

20. Richard Dawkins' secular army must be stopped. God is behind some of our greatest art

UPDATE: On tuesday's "Countdown" Keith did a 180 and named the atheist Sherman as "worst person" for using the word "negroes" in an article about the Davis incident.

So are we back in the catbox? I bet he got a zillion E-mails from the godbots.

22. Richard Dawkins and Bill Maher

Comment #159714 by TIKI AL on April 13, 2008 at 12:16 am

I thought Richard did a great job and added some much needed class to the program without appearing supercillious.

Bill's "don't bend over in the rectory" rant on the Pope was priceless.

Thanks for helping us non-godbots in Tempe Arizona retain our sanity.

Please keep the Dawkins birthdays coming. Cheers!

Comment #144996 by TIKI AL on March 17, 2008 at 6:47 am

I hope the proposed transition from the church to the museum excludes the Creation Museum.

The callers could have been in a Saturday Night Live skit. Unfortunately, I have to share Arizona with many of "them".

Comment #124582 by TIKI AL on February 9, 2008 at 9:45 pm

John may have actually spent TOO MUCH time in a museum.

The Creation Musuem
Petersburg, Kentucky

I personally think "John" was a studio shill calling from the stations broom closet.

But just in case he IS real: Hey John, they let you ride the dinos in the Garden of Eden there!

27. Changing my Mind

Comment #106943 by TIKI AL on January 3, 2008 at 6:01 pm

When the dreaded bible clutching godbots appear at our door, I tell them in a hushed voice that some people pretending to be Mormons just last week invaded a home down the street and raped and robbed the woman who lives there, and that if I were them I would pick another neighborhood as the people all come to the door now with .44 magnums clutched in white knuckles with their teeth clenched.

Too cruel?

So the good townfolk of Whoville think THAT was in bad taste?

32. Holy Nonsense

Comment #95355 by TIKI AL on December 8, 2007 at 5:57 am

Neither party is God free, but the republicans have embraced and pursued the evangelicals for votes, pushed for faith-based programs, prayer in schools, and toe stubbing 5 ton, 10 commandment monuments on the court house steps. A republican administration put god on our money and the pledge.

Lesser of 2 evils. A no brainer for now.

33. Holy Nonsense

Comment #95274 by TIKI AL on December 7, 2007 at 8:34 pm

Willard "the Rat" Romney burrowed out a deeper hole on CNN:

"The speech was NOT political, it was about keeping religion in the public square."

Not political? Really??? At this point in the campaign he pees politics! What a slimeball liar. And I agree with Hitch, Goober Godbot(Huckleberry Thin) is just as bad. At least Jim Nabors could sing.

34. Bad Faith Awards: Vote for the winner now

Comment #95050 by TIKI AL on December 7, 2007 at 8:47 am

Chuck is backing the ultimate Goober Godbot, Mike Huckabee(GOP candidate for pres and Baptist minister) and is in his campaign commercials.

Mitt "Mormon" Romney said in his big speech on religion yesterday that you must "have religion to be free". Oh, the stupidity!

Jeb used to close the taverns and stagger home to his trailer where Sabbath the cat was sleeping on the porch. Jeb thought it was a riot to pee on Sabbath who bolted leaving a yellow trail.

Jeb was suprised to come home one night and witness his smiling 4 year old already conducting urine absorbtion experiments on Sabbath's soggy fur.

They prayed together and went to bed. Coincidence?

40. Town Hall Seattle: God Is Not Great

Comment #57820 by TIKI AL on July 21, 2007 at 9:38 am

The slave that Jefferson allegedly had sex with could have been a blatent social climber or early version of Nicole Smith.

Perhaps multiple Satanic field hands forced Jefferson to have sex with her at machete point.

Or he could have merely tripped and fallen on top of her while excited.

The above have the same historical proof as saying he raped her. None

"Can't we just have a mutually respectable dialogue without resorting to name calling?"

... Sorry, but godbots like bush, cheney, rove, regency college grads hired for their religious views and evangelical voters have brought terrible times to the United States and the world.

The gloves are off. Stay in your tax-free church and out of the government. We don't want a theocracy.

47. Hitchens vs. Hitchens

Comment #51578 by TIKI AL on June 23, 2007 at 1:15 pm

Wow! Pan-Arabism, the Sharif of Mecca, the UK's role as instigator, the surrender of the Ottoman Empire and the fact that only 20% of Muslims come from Arab countries. Impressive, green one.

I once wrote an article on how the French Catholic Church was the root cause of the Vietnam War. That evil Cardinal Spelling had his hands in it too.

The Iraq War of choice was and is the worst "foreign policy" blunder in our short history. Period.

You and Hitchens can spin it all you like, but the hurricane season is coming and the National Guard is in Iraq.

50. Hitchens vs. Hitchens

Comment #51513 by TIKI AL on June 23, 2007 at 7:43 am

"So you think that fighting religious extremists is a bad idea?"

...Secular Saddam fought a war with religious extremists in Iran for 8 years with the help of the US. (I love that picture of Rumsfeld shaking hands with him on a funding trip to Iraq.)

Bush admits to getting his Iraq marching orders from his "higher father".(And he didn't mean Bush I on MaryJane.) He has also funded faith based schools and vetoed 2 stemcell bills because he IS a religious extremist.

When is Bush going to catch Bin Laden? Or does he "think fighting religious extremists is a bad idea?"
