Acerbic religious imagery and commentary

I've often thought that the argument that the world is so beautiful because God created it was nonsensical. The world is beautiful to us because it is what we were born into. If we were born into a world with an earth made of purple concrete, then we would find purple concrete, in just the right light, to be beautiful.

Well, his opinion of religion is a little strong - he might have chosen words a little less harsh.

Understand, religion is blind faith (intuition) and requires no knowledge or factual information in order to believe its tenants.

Do Christians even read their Bibles? Do they know what their rules are? Funny how, by most every measurement, the most religious states in the US display the highest levels of immoral behavior (teen pregnancy, divorce, abuse, etc.)

Choose your fantasies so as to maximize your fun.

It is, after all, the Christians and Muslims who scream the loudest about hating people (gays, atheists, women) and who are the first to want to watch them all get cast into hell-fire.

Creationism is based on ignorance and ignores the most rudimentary of science principles.

What in the heck is the connection between Jesus and testicles? I don't remember reading that part in the Bible.

Understanding the origins and transformations of the Bible help you understand the insanity of putting all of your faith into it.

I see the connection - Jesus spent a lot of time discussing tire quality in the latter half of the New Testament.

The mainstream media has really turned a deaf ear and a dumb mind toward the middle class. CNN is becoming Fox Lite to such a degree that I can't watch most of their shows anymore.

I'm sure going to miss Barney Frank in Congress next year - here's another of his great witticisms.

Republicans discussing energy in cartoon format.

Republicans want a return to the past and to days of ignorance, and here is a menu of the the changes they'd like to see.

In his own twisted mind, this is how Roger Ailes sees the world.

A bumper sticker for liberals.

If Obama worked on it, he could really play games with Fox News and their strange sense that whatever the President says is wrong.

A chart demonstrating the accuracy of Fox News.

Jon Stewart explaining some of the ways in which Republicans alter facts to make illogical arguments.

Well, this is dated, but it still goes to show you what the Republican family values are really all about - they're about shame and cover-up.

If the U.S. is going to return to its glory days, there must be a minor redistribution of wealth so as to increase the size and affluence of the middle class.

Obama doing his best to control the growth in Federal spedning, despite the Great Recession.

There's a lot of money to be made in the private-prison trade by keeping marijuana illegal.

Geraldo has really screwed the pooch a number of times in his career...

Speaking of Mitt Romney's dog-on-the-top-of-the-car trick...

There are consequences, Mr and Mrs 99%ers, when you vote for the big business party.

I understand the this past week President Obama also shared some of these cookies with the press and paid homage to the bakery. Not sure if it made a difference in the political leanings of the shop owners, but still - he paid respect.

A thought on white people becoming a minority in the U.S. Perhaps we should treat the current minorities a little better.

W accomplished a number of things while he was President - racking up dead American bodies was one of them. Of course, in all fairness, Mr. Nobel Peace Prize winner Obama is doing a pretty decent job himself.

A lot of suspicion in the media these days that Romney is much richer than thought, that he might hold several hidden accounts and businesses in foreign countries.

I never gave it much thought when I was a child, but I REALLY, REALLY should have given more thought to becoming a part of the 1%.

Sarah Palin must mean ANOTHER bear. 

More religious stuff to think about...

The Bible tells us that God said rape is okay, as long as you pay the victim's father a few dollars. Interesting thoughts from a God who loves us all. Seems to me I see a little contradiction in there.

You CAN own slaves - the Bible says God said it was okay. No wonder so many in the southern US are still mad at the Federal Government - they want their slaves back!

There were a few things God didn't create, but it's only things the religious people don't like. Amazing coincidence how that worked out.

For those who don't understand the world, or even understand that they don't know it all, there's God.

I'm not sure what Jon means by "given people hope" when all I see is religious people using their religion to bash others.

We were in God's country and he didn't drop in to say, "Hi."

What was it he said about loving they neighbor? Oh, you forgot that part? Or you didn't know which neighbors he meant and you thought he only meant the ones on the corner of your street, not the ones on the next block?

This reminds me of a minister in the church in which I was raised who told us one Sunday, in a Bible study group following services, that he owned some apartments, but he wouldn't rent them to black people because they were dirty and untrustworthy. Doing the Lord's work.

Some things in the Bible clearly show that it was written by people with less of a knowledge about the universe than we have now. Does that make sense if they were divinely inspired?

It seems as if a large part of religion these days is the abuse of people that are a little more vulnerable than the believer.

Our priorities do seem a bit screwy.

We have given too much power to the banks.

It's not likely that being gay is a choice - think about this.

George Washington has a comment for today's Congress.

Just something to think about when weighing your loyalties.

I hate to go the Godwin's Law route, but there are similarities.

Please, think beyond the superficial meaning of what the Republicans have to offer - it might change your life in ways you never expected.

Yes, the truth is, a lot of Jesus' teachings were liberal.

Please understand the real impact of religion on American politics - if they take over, it will be THEIR brand of religion - not yours.

The police no longer seem to be unbiased.

So you don't forget - those Tea Party folks can get very, very nasty.

Former Town Councilor Mike Malzone, the founder of the Merrimack Tea Party, said Thursday in a Facebook post reacting to the Supreme Court ruling on health care, “I hope the (5 supremes) get colon cancer.”
