RIP Jerry Falwell

Way to found the Moral Majority and the Religious Right, and lobby for a Christian church takeover of the entire public school system.

Way to push for ordinances which discriminate based on sexual orientation, promote the notion that the antichrist must be "Jewish," and call Martin Luther King Jr. a pioneer of "civil wrongs."

Way to blame feminists and the ACLU for the September 11th attacks.



You spent your life shitting on minorities. The rich, white members of your megavangelical church will miss you.

The God Gamble.

Pastor Rick Warren explains the superiority of his stance on God this way: "When we die, if [atheists are] right, [Christians have] lost nothing. If [Christians are] right, [atheists have] lost everything. I'm not willing to make that gamble."

It's with that that Newsweek ends its presumptuous "Is God Real" article, giving Warren the weighted silence and presumable upper hand.

If that's "faith" then fucking shoot me now. That's not a leap of faith - that's an admission that his Christianity is a safety net. Faith, by definition: belief that is not based on proof.

Cheers to anyone whose Christian faith is truly that - faith. But if you're proselytizing and behaving yourself so you'll be sure to ascend just in case there is a heaven... you're just covering your ass. "Hey, Pete! Wow, I sure am glad I played it safe."

You want to know what's a leap of faith? Continuing to live life and love people even when you're sure that nothing but the void awaits you on the other side -- and being an atheist or agnostic in the face of the risk of being wrong. That's strength.

There's always room for more (and more) Jello

It's difficult to sit ten feet from Jello Biafra for four and a half hours without jumping out of your seat like an idiot and toadying him about all the things he already knows he's done for America's kids over the past 30 years and can-I-just-shake-your-hand.

Anyway,

"We interrupt this program with a special bulletin:

America is now under marshall law.

All constitutional rights have been suspended.

Stay in your homes.

Do not attempt to contact love ones, insurance agent or attorney.

Shut up.

Do not attempt to think or depression may occur.

Stay in your homes.

Curfew is at 7 PM sharp after work.

Anyone gaught outside of gates of their surveillance sectors after curfew

will be shot.

Remain calm, do not panic.

Your neighborhood watchofficer will be by to collect urine examples in

the morning.

Anyone gaught intefering with the collection of urine examples will be

shot.

Stay in your homes, remain calm.

The number one enemy of progress is question.

National security is more important than individual will.

All port broadcasts will proceed as normal.

No more than two people may gather anywhere without permission.

Use only the drugs prescribed by your boss or supervisor.

Shut up.

Be happy.

Obey all orders without question.

The comfort you've demanded is now mandatory.

Be happy.

At last everything is done for you."

On the topic of the two-party (if you can call it that) system: The only difference between the two is that Democrats pretend to feel bad about their transgressions.

And on the rapture: what a relief for those left behind (we'll be fine as long as we have THIS). Yeah, floods, droughts and tornadoes (and world order as dictated by the manifested anti-christ) beats the shit outta war, capitalist facism and torture (and a new world order dictated by our primadonna anti-christ).



Jello is turning 50 this year, if I recall, and he is far from the lanky, sneering punk prognosticator who caught everyone's attention - I would never have noticed him walking down the street - but he's just as enthralling as a mellower reverend of the Green church (no mention of anarchy any longer). A little less spewing vitriol, a little more smirking irony, but the manic-preacher voice looks like it'll never be extinguished.

Send your atheist friend an "I Told You So" letter after the rapture.

Suggested text is as follows:

Dear Friend;

This message has been sent to you by a friend or a relative who has recently
disappeared along with millions and millions of people around the world.

The reason they chose to send you this letter is because they cared about you
and would like you to know the truth about where they went.

This may come as a shock to you, but the one who sent you this has been taken
up to heaven.

If you read a Bible, you will see that after chapter three in the book of Revelation,
the church is no longer mentioned as being on earth. (The church are the believers
in Jesus Christ, not the buildings in which people meet.)

In the Bible, 1 Thessalonians Chapter 4 verses 16 and 17 tell how Jesus came
to take away His church. But, you have to believe the Bible is the Word of
God in order to believe this.

I am sure that there will be a lot of speculation as to what happened to all
these people. The theories of some scientists and world leaders will have
so much credibility that most of the world will believe them.

It will sound like the truth!

But, there is only one truth. And, that truth is that Jesus Christ, God in the flesh,
came back to earth and took with Him to Heaven all who believed in Him
and made Him their Lord.

If you would like to give your life to Jesus Christ and be born again, it is
not too late. First you must pray to God saying"Father I admit I am a
sinner, and I will turn from my sin and do good. I believe that Jesus was
your son and that He came here to die for me so that my sins would be
forgiven. I ask you to forgive me and I will repent of my sins. In Jesus
name I pray."

If you just prayed that prayer and meant it with all your heart, then God
will know you as one of His own. You should now seek out others who have
also given their lives to Christ, read a Bible daily, and do your best to
bring others to Christ.

God bless you.
