Katy Perry and I Had Similar Childhoods

August 3rd, 2010 // 383 Comments

Katy Perry is featured in the latest issue of Rolling Stone (above) where she opens up about her religious upbringing that she’s apparently only slightly abandoned to pursue a more lucrative career shooting whipped cream out of her tits. I say slightly abandoned because she seems to see nothing wrong with her parents literally babbling at each other and pretending it’s divine communication. Via CNN:

The California girl, who has “Jesus” tattooed on her left wrist, tells the magazine, “Speaking in tongues is as normal to me as ‘Pass the salt..’ It’s a secret, direct prayer language to God.” Perry, 25, adds that her dad usually speaks in tongues while her mom plays interpreter. “That’s their gift,” she explains.
“I wasn’t able to say I was lucky because my mother would rather us say that we were blessed, and she also didn’t like that lucky sounded like Lucifer.”
In fact, the quirky brunette reveals, “I wasn’t allowed to eat Lucky Charms, but I think that was the sugar. I think my mom lied to me about that one.”

WARNING: If you’re looking for witty comments peppered with penis jokes and/or are easily offended when someone points out Jesus is a fictional character, now would be a good time to abandon the post.

For those of you who don’t know, I grew up in an evangelical household – my father’s a pastor – so allow me to explain how “speaking in tongues” works in case you’ve only ever lived in a world of logic and reason: It’s bullshit. Complete and utter bullshit. Basically, in the heat of spiritual frenzy, you start babbling incoherent gibberish because somewhere in the Bible it says that bystanders heard Jesus’ disciples praying in “foreign tongues.” Except what you see in churches across America is people pretending to be on a direct wavelength with God and given an opportunity to demonstrate that fact so everyone can see how super-Christian they are. Again, bullshit. Even more bullshitty is Katy Perry’s mom claiming she can interpret it. It’s babble. Literal babble. That’s like saying you can communicate fluently with infants in their own language. “Baby Jimmy thinks this episode of Sesame Street is as loquacious as it is pedantic. Also, poop.”

I literally feel for Katy Perry. When I was 25, I also had a sense of the real world but wasn’t quite able to accept my parents’ belief as the intellectually bankrupt, man-made constructs they are without compromising my love and respect for them. Except I at least had the luxury of attending a secular high school and college instead of Christian “schools,” so I understand the indoctrination runs way deeper here. Though apparently not deep enough to ward off premarital British cock. So maybe there’s hope here yet.

    “:more than 50% of scientists have thrown eveloution out of the picture. They only teach it to us, because they can’t find any other explination so of course they had to make something up. ”

    but you have proof that exactly 50% of scientists feel this way. ? obviously..because your not making things up!

    evolution not eveloution
    explanation and not explination
    learn to read and write first –don’t worry about religion/ science…

    “For something to evolve, the previous creature that the new creature evolved from must become extinct.”

    This is one hundred percent incorrect. A significant portion of the creature’s community simply has to adapt and pass on their adaption — enough to be considered a new creature.

    Here’s a dumb-downed example:

    Creature X live up and down a continent. Creature X comes in all shapes, sizes, and colors — just like we do — but is typically small with a short neck and eats fruit off of low branched trees. In the north of the continent, a parasite emerges/migrates to it that wipes out all low branched trees. As a result, the short X’s die in the north, while those among them that were tall enough/have long enough necks survive. These X’s pass on their height genes to enough of their offspring that the segment of X with f taller/longer necked survives.

    Next, though, a radical drop in temperature happens in the far, far north that forces an alpha predator to move into the biggie X land. The predator has wonderful vision, save for that he cannot see shades of red (like bees, I believe). He kills off all the biggie X’s but those who are red.

    A germ he carries infects those biggies with low fat intestines, killing off those ones and leaving the big, red, high fat intestines — the high lipid content of their intestines is too much for the germ to endure.

    Now you have a tall, red, low fat intestine beast that is looking less and less like the original creature ex by the evolutionary minute — which is usually a long, long time.

    And so on and so one.

    Now, eventually, that radical drop in temperature from the far north encroaches on the lower biggie X north, forcing them to migrate to the south, where they co-exist with their ancestors. Perhaps biggie X has changed so much from origie X that they can no longer breed.

    And, in a nutshell, that’s how it goes — that’s the theory that, as far as I can tell, most scientists subscribe to and that our government has decided must be taught in school rather than creationism, which is not merely the belief that there is a god, but that we were created by him in his/her/its image, rather than evolved uniquely into our own. In my view, God and evolution are mutually incompatible, but that’s neither here nor there. I believe it without knowing it for sure, just as I believe that when my wife goes to sleep before I do, I believe that she doesn’t sneak out the window and go on a killing spree. I don’t know that for sure, but I believe it because the opposite seems so impossible to me. It’s the same thing with people of religious faith, in my opinion, they believe without knowing. What separates the two is common sense, I say, and evidence: My wife is not acrobatic, she has a debilitating back condition, and can’t stand violence — and I can also hear her breath on our baby monitor — not conclusive proof (it could all be a lie/simulation) that she doesn’t Zodiac at night, but may as well be, I think. It’s good enough for me, while the evidence of God’s existence (particularly the versions of him that show up in religious texts, as opposed to the generic idea of him), which I say is “evidence” is not.

    But that’s just me.

    “Considering this, ´speaking in tongues´, as utilized in modern Christianity, is a sham.”

    Can’t Christianity, like all the religions Christianity says are shams, be a sham along with its glossolalia (speaking in tongues), as well? If not, why not?

    _Rich

    “There is more PROOF that Christ walked the earth and was holy than there is in any of these science theories people come up with.”

    Like what? Nothing in the New Testament was written during his alleged lifetime. Paul, the first NT author, wrote in the 60s, the Mark, the first Synoptic Gospels, a bit after that, the rest were written in the forty following years or so. In addition, Josephus, whose work Christians often cite as writing from Jesus’ life time, wrote of Jesus (assume that there is no basis to believe that his mentions of Jesus were not written by his own hand and go with it) in the late first century, which makes sense, seeing as how he was born in 37 AD.

    Then there are the contradictory accounts of the events of Jesus’ life: Who encountered him at his tomb? How long did his ministry last (one year or three as John says)? Was he presented in the temple or was he and his family fled to Egypt at this time? There are also the mistranslations of OT text to support the claims of his magic nature. In the OT Isaiah, a “young woman” (bethulah) will be “found with child,” not a “virgin” (alma); the name Emanueal (God is among us) is not the name Jesus (God is salvation) — only if you start with the assumption that Jesus was God among us can you make any connection between the two of them. There is no “Lucifer” in the OT or a demon named “Satan,” etc., etc.

    There’s also the fact that these alleged, absolutely spectacular events surrounding his life are recorded in no documents at the time they allegedly occurred: The slaughter of the male baby Jews, the turning of day to night, the tearing of the veil in the temple,the rising of the dead, etc., at or around Jesus’ time of death; as well as the bizarre aspects of his story that don’t add up to him being an all powerful, omniscient, kind-hearted God: His magic powers fail to yield fruit from a fig tree; they zap into a woman when she touches him, but he can’t figure out who that was; he requires his followers to hate their families and themselves; orders his followers to slay his enemies … and don’t even get me started on what he will supposedly during during the end of times, which was, according to the man himself, supposed to occur during the lifetime of his apostles.

    And of course, there is simply the matter of the supernatural elements of his story: I don’t believe in magic, so I reject them same as I reject them in all other religions.

    And on and on.

    So where’s this evidence?

    As has been noted previously, “speaking in tongues” was not people babbling nonsense that had to be “interpreted.” They were speaking foreign languages in order to spread the gospel around the earth. Once this was done, this gift, as all the other gifts, faded away.

    I don’t believe in cross-species evolution. Why? The evidence simply isn’t there. Evolution within a species is easily proven, due to environmental changes, etc. But to say that man came from another species, no matter how hard people argue, is simply unproven. It must be very frustrating for Dawkins enthusiasts, but there you go.

    Now onto my last subject: does God love everyone? If you believe the Bible to be the inerrant word of God (which I do, more on that in a bit) then the answer is clearly, “no.” If God loves everyone, then who goes to Hell, and why? This of course is all predicated on the notion that you believe in God at all, which I think most people do. But, if God truly sent His son to die for every man, as so many churches erroneously teach, then who is in Hell? The answer, while not complicated, is very complex. The ones God does not love are in Hell, and were created by God to be destroyed. How does this square with the idea that God is love? Because there is a misunderstanding about the word “love” as it is understood in ancient Greek. We think of love as affection. The Bible is clear that while love can mean affection, more often than not it doesn’t. John 3:16 would be more accurately translated to “For God in this manner gave his commandment to his orderly arrangement that he gave his Son from his own substance that the whole church believeth in him should not perish but have everlasting life.” A bit wordy and inelegant to be sure, but much closer to what is actually said.

    Predestination is true; accepting Christ of your own free will is a lie. This is the time of the great apostasy, the falling away that the Bible warns of. If you are a child of God, he will make you repent and follow him. If not, you’ll die and wake up in Hell for eternity. This is the promise of God.

    I think we should all stop arguing about religion and just chill. Lets face it, we all have our own beliefs that everyone else thinks is bullshit, so lets all drop the act and carry on with our own life :L Sheesh

    I think there’s a lot of misinformation going on here. There’s something we need to get clear. There’s Christianity, and then there’s religion. They’re two completely different things. Christianity is where you have a relationship with God and you follow Jesus’ teachings in the bible and regularly read the bible. You follow God primarily, not a priest or a pastor. Then there’s religion, which I’m not fond of myself either because I used to be Catholic which turned me atheist. Religion is where people take what they want out of the bible, or they pervert and misconstrue what it says just so they can be different, be superior, make money, or whatever the case may be. It consists of people who have strayed from the true teachings in the bible to follow a person or a way, NOT God’s way which is laid out in the bible.

    I read my bible and follow the teachings of Jesus. I don’t have a religion, I have a relationship with God. I’m not going to beat someone over the head with the bible, I won’t stand on the corner yelling “Repent, for the end is near!”, I won’t hate minorities or homosexuals. The truth is, people have their own choices to make and I can’t change that. I’m Christian and I’m not what you say I am.

    If someone is a true follower of Jesus, they’re not going to be a bigot or a sexist. Christianity can be just as easily perverted as any other thing, TV, movies, politics, religion, etc. If any of us based what we knew about life by what others call themselves as opposed to what we see others doing, we’re labeling ourselves as ignorant.

    There are so many Christian religions out there who have perverted what the bible says to serve their own wants and desires. They pick and choose what they want to follow or to make excuses for negative behaviors that they don’t want to change or they want others to accept.

    I honestly feel sorry for those who think or believe that all Christians exude the characteristics of true Christianity. It’s as stereotypical as any racial joke or comment. It only takes a few to ruin it for the whole, and in Christianity’s case, it has taken a ton to ruin it for the few.

    So let me get this straight, because YOU’VE never received the power to speak in tongues, its bullshit? Really? How can you discredit something you’ve never experienced yourself? I guess if you’ve never gotten laid pussy isn’t real either, right? You sound twice as narrow minded as the “Christians” you criticize. Stick to speaking on things you know and you just might make it out of your Pastor Father’s basement.

  14. iBelieve

    @ MmmmNope, when was evolution proven so it could be called a fact. Even if 100% of scientist believes it, there is no proof. So when you call it a fact, check the books as it is still taught as the theory of evolution the same as creationism, alien seeding… are all theories until one is PROVEN through the scientific method as fact.

    Also, wasnt trivializing your belief of coming from evolution. That is why I wrote in paragraphs. I truly wanted to know where the origin comes from in your theory. I have contemplated, but keep going back to where did the thing before come from and the thing before that… It was a legitimate question as to what you believe.

    May I point out that KP does regularly wear rubber bikinis & has started the tattooing process? She is now engaged to be married to a UK “comedian” with a daunting history of hard drug abuse & rampant promiscuity….god only knows what he does to those assets behind closed doors.
    Sounds something like damnation to me.

  18. nicejobbro

    @ibelieve… You have no idea what a scientific theory is. It’s not a theory on if it happened or not (it’s been proven to have happened). It’s the speculation and study of HOW and WHY it happened. You know there is also “The Theory of Gravity”, but that doesn’t mean that it’s not proven that there is gravity. lol

  19. iBelieve

    must have missed when it was proven it happened. Maybe even after all those years in college and even more in the field as a biologist, I missed that day. Last I heard it wasnt proven. Maybe you are confusing adaptation and evolution.

    As for your understanding of science, maybe you need to go back to school. It is the theory of gravity. It has not been proven. The effect of gravity is proven. When you say proven in a scientific sense it means proven, tested, and confirmed not just largely accepted? I believe in mans role in global warming, but it hasnt been proven to be effected mankind. It is accepted, not proven, mankind affects global warming.

    Oh well my mistake, all that you believe is proven, and anything opposed is wrong. lol

  20. WTEff

    ibelieve is right. By the way, gravity is a law, not a theory. I am not condoning the Christian thing at all, however, since it leads to fascism. To me, Christians are no better than Nazis.

  21. Richard McBeef, PhD

    why do you think it is commonly accepted by 99.999% of legitimate biologists? A global atheist conspiracy? It’s commonly accepted because of an overwhelming amount of evidence supporting it.

    You have the same problem as all the other ID rubes: ignorance of science, both the methods and the jargon. You just want to argue about the semantics of “proof” and “theory” rather than offer any evidence to the contrary. You are a blinded fanatic and it’s not even worth the time I wasted to argue with you. Bring something of worth and a basic knowledge of science next time or just take comfort that we will burn in hell while you surf clouds with jesus.

  22. M.e.h

    You still don’t get it Missy, I’ve been in your shoes, I get why you don’t get it. They tried to teach me to feel persucuted too- I just didn’t get it until I managed to free myself from the BS- and that’s when I was finally happy (see, how does it feel to be told that you’re looking at it the wrong way. Guess what- you’re mocking what people believe) You’re in the largest religious group on the planet now- at this point in time I don’t see how you could have a legit claim to know what true persicution is.

    Ibelieve: I could prove evolution with my mollies. As in actual proof. God- education in america sucks. Knowledge isn’t evil and ignorance isn’t bliss (for the rest of us) if that snake was real, he didn’t do us enough of a favor.

  23. @ iBelieve again: “When was evolution proven”? Maybe you have heard about this little thing called genetics. Evolution is being proven as we write. Unless you consider the scientific method a “belief system”, in which case I will respectfully give up and leave to your eternal darkness of the spotted mind.

  24. trillian

    First: In science, the meaning of theory is more rigorous: a theory must be based on observed facts and make testable predictions – A fact is a hypothesis that is so firmly supported by evidence that we assume it is true, and act as if it were true. Evolution is a fact in the sense that it is overwhelmingly validated by the evidence. Frequently, evolution is said to be a fact in the same way as the Earth revolving around the Sun is a fact.
    secondly – if you are really interested in learning about how life came to be – study abiogenisis. Go read Science Daily News and find out about all the truly incredible things that human beings have done in the past and what we’re doing today. Then look at the universe and understand why your tiny middle eastern god doesn’t satisfy people with his angry discriminatory and violent book that the power hungry leaders demand they live by (goes for Christians, Muslims, and Jews)

  25. Baiul

    @iBelieve

    Creationism is not a scientific theory. Shall we compare all of the evidence, tests and retests for Evolution and put them against creationism? No because it is very one sided. Is Evolution imperfect and unfinished? Yes it is, your argument is that since this theory is only 90% proven to be factual and retestable with concurrent results, we should instead replace it with something with no scientific backing and not a single provable fact?

    It’s always the same thing, you can prove almost anything going back to the ooze? Well since you can’t positively prove what came first let’s replace all of that science and the facts that makes up the theory of evolution with a giant sky fairy, of whom there is no evidence at all. That sounds reasonable, the other side needs proof but we don’t, we can criticise them for not having 100% of the facts while not needing a single % ourselves.

    In fact there is an unlimited source of real evidence which proves that the God depicted in the Bible does not exist. I’m not talking about warm cuddly feelings, I’m referring to testable hypothesis’.

    Now as for a loving god who loves all of his children and how Christians don’t mean me any harm. Christians (and most other organised religions) agree with the theory that I will go to hell to be tortured for eternity, because the great and loving God decided so if I didn’t do what I was told indirectly from someone whose words were hundreds of years after the event, and since have been twisted many times.

    Imagine the all loving father who comes to you and says, son/daughter. I know I didn’t tell you what you should do, I hinted at it through other people and let you make up your mind to do what you thought was best. Sadly, you didn’t turn up for dinner on Sundays, so unfortunately I am going to have to hand you over to cousin Earl who will rape you, burn you and torture you for eternity. Too late to say sorry and repent now, the deal is done. I’m only allowing you to be tortured for ever though, because I truly love you and am a 100% good person.

    First off, what a crock of shit. Secondly, I am highly offended that Christians (and others) are in a belief system which makes it ok to torture me for ever after I die because I don’t agree with them.

    Anyone who has respect for religion, and thinks we shouldn’t judge is a moron. We are being judged not for our actions, but for the fact that we live and breath, even if we live by a solid common law. Do unto others as you would wish done to you. For not believing in the sky fairy however, we are doomed to eternal damnation. Fuck your damnation, I will take it any day and will not bow down to a selfish and unfair belief system which allows you to think it is fair to punish good people. So save yourself by all means, I will go happily down to hell to help out the good people there, you go sit on your cloud with the fairies.

    “Amirite?” Hey you know what, many self-professed ‘Christians’ pick and choose what to believe from their religion. Same thing goes for, oh, I don’t know, people who have rampant sex and bring children into this world without the meant to provide for them, because sex out of wedlock is fun (amirite? Guys?) Or, oh, I don’t know, terrorists? It is my firm belief that true religion belongs in the hands of the awfully intelligent and objective philosophers, rather than the masses.

I want some special to air to explain to me how such thoughts came to form in a person’s brain- having clips of this person actually saying these things would be so full of win, and then experts chiming in on and explaining this kind of crazy and how it is ..”learned” hell, maybe I just missed an episode of Bullshit. “has to become extinct” “50% of scientists” ?

    I think what you’re saying is totally true, and sad. I do believe in God and follow Jesus, and this decision was mostly based on the historical evidence for Jesus, but the whole ‘you must believe or burn in hell’ part makes me sick and breaks my heart. However, because of Jesus’s extraordinary life and claims, I think it’s important to investigate the issue seriously. What I have found is that what he actually said is much more ambiguous than ‘believe or die’. One place where he did say distinguish why people go to hell actually says it was for not feeding, clothing, and showing hospitality to the poor (Matthew 25). The thought that well-intentioned people who bring more justice into the world would go to hell is awful, but a person that trusts in Jesus does not have to believe this. ‘Christian universalism’ is the view that Jesus died to save EVERYONE, and there’s actually more biblical evidence for it than most Christians realize.

    Also, there are plenty of Christians that believe in evolution. I think that the ones who don’t just have not looked at the overwhelming scientific evidence. As old testiment scholar Bruce Waltke put it, “…if the data is overwhelmingly in favor of evolution, to deny that reality will make us a cult…some odd group that is not really interacting with the world. And rightly so, because we are not using our gifts and trusting God’s Providence that brought us to this point of our awareness.”

  35. Jennay

    I’m posting a lot, too! Actually, “ultra strict Christians” are actually those who believe Christ’s death and resurrection pays for their sin debt, and follow the Bible out of sheer joy for what God has done for them. The Christians you are actually talking about are people who are ignoring Christ’s sacrifice, and think that there is something they can do to earn forgiveness, instead of accepting it as a free gift. They are prideful in thinking they can do something to make themselves more “spiritual” by speaking nonsense.

  36. Rachel

    In response to your later post (for some reason it won’t let me reply to that one) I wanted to say that as a former Christian and as a current agnostic, you’re right… I am FREAKED out by Christianity. The reason: I very much believe in a person’s right to believe what they want to believe, I have a very live and let live attitude. The problem is that I have yet to meet a Christian who feels the same way. Some of them say they feel that way, and some of them refrain from preaching to those who don’t want to hear it, but when it comes down to it, Christians are constantly trying to shove their agenda down everyone else’s throat and they do it with their vote. Christianity (like many religions) gives one a license to be a bigot and to be a sexist. It is impossible for me to respect that or those who subscribe to it. Also, your general attitude is typically the one that I find when I interact with Christians. I have met a few decent Christians in my life time, but very few. Most of them are like you, and it is the ones that are so like you that first started me on my path towards agnosticism. I just thought to myself that this religion was so very absent of the compassion and love that Jesus spoke of, that I began to realize that I wanted no part of it. Then of course, I started to really research religion, and that was when I came to understand how shaky the religious foundation really is.

    If you think God/Jesus doesn’t exist…don’t exist…??? just how do you explain those incredible tits! I’d crawl naked through 2 miles of broken glass just so I could sniff the tires on the truck that drove through Katy’s neighborhood on the same day she washed her dainties!

    For something to evolve, the previous creature that the new creature evolved from must become extinct. Since we obviously still have tons of different types of apes around, you did not evolve from an ape or anything else.

    Also now days, more than 50% of scientists have thrown eveloution out of the picture. They only teach it to us, because they can’t find any other explination so of course they had to make something up.

    God is NOT a man. That is why no one understands why He would send his only Son to save us. But He does love us and even you. Just like a parent would do anything for their child. He has known us since before we were born and watched us grow up from infancy to toddler, to teen, to adult. He knows our hearts and why we do what we do. He knows everything. And He still loves you.

    And the reason Christians talk about Jesus is because God wants us to let everyone know and that everyone be saved. If you have ever read through the Bible, you would know.

    Oh no! Someone is exercising Freedom of Religion and it’s not the emasculated, PC, “good values but not true” drivel that is the only tolerated form of expression. Better get on with the public shaming and ridiculing before more of the “fundies” start showing their faces and openly discussing their beliefs.

    Certainly wouldn’t want the broader public to find out that there are Christians speaking in tongues without freaking out and flopping around like a “fish.”

  43. So, lemme get this straight. You’ve got people like sean on here who frequently likes to talk about sex with little boys, and I’m the one you’re bitching about? If you’re so uncomfortable, then by all means, be gone! Clearly you’re too much of a pussy for this site. Thanks to dude for stating what should be obvious. If you don’t wanna read anything I write, then skip the fuck over it. “Terrorizing this site”. That’s some funny shit. LMFAO!!!

    I don’t go to church. Still can’t find it in the bible “though shalt go to church and sign your name and join and pick a denomination”, nope can’t find it.

    I think it’s obvious a bunch of folks are lost. People can ridicule Christians and mocks their beliefs, and as soon as we start defending ourselves you all get on your soap boxes about “I went to college” “my pastor had an affair” ” I was forced as a child into religion”. Wah. I’ve gone through my stuff too to come to the point where I’m at, and when I get mocked for it, damn skippy I’m going to defend it. I never once in any of my posts said somebody was going to hell. All I said is I think your theories are as dumb as you think my beliefs are. So, see we do have something in common. I can agree to disagree, but I’m not judging you and telling you “you’re bad if your gay, on drugs, had premarital sex”. I’m not your grandma. Christ sat with murderers and thieves and hung out with them. I doubt anyone on here would ever have the huevos to do that, and I respect him for trying to help turn their lives over to love. I think that’s what a lot of Christians do, and none of us have had classes in how to do that, so some come across as “shoving down the throat” because they are so passionate. They do it out of love, because it is their belief that unsaved people won’t be seen in the after life. They love you and want to be with you. Even though that’s a “myth” you don’t have to HATE it and mock it. The only time there are these kind of conversations on this site is when “Fish” brings up his beliefs which is usually something about Christ and penis (never Muslim, Buddhism, Aethiesm, Ba’hai), nope only Christianity. so you better believe I’m going to defend my heart and my path. This is like a witchhunt, only the tables have been turned. You all sound like the colonials in Salem wanting to burn some Christians. Religion should just be left alone for people to keep close to their heart. I promise, I don’t ever tell people what to believe, but if you mock me I will stand up for myself. Continue sticking that spear in the side of Christ. Whatever makes you joyful in your heart, just don’t throw it in my face.

    one more thing, I don’t personally believe in speaking in tongues. I think it’s misinterpreted.

  48. @ IBelieve: I am not ‘offend’ that you believe in God, it’s your lack of faith in grammar that disturbs me.
    Is THAT what you guys mean by speaking “in tongues”? Because it sure looks like speaking in shitty English to me…

    I know…it’s nice that every once in a while he reminds us of how awesome he is! (I mean besides his huge penis and man pecs).

  50. I’m so sorry….it is typed, it is done.

    Piss off…you don’t know shit from a good grade of butter. You fucking morons who don’t have the proper perception and understanding to grasp photos of this nature always point to Photoshop like you know what the fuck you’re talking about. Even if the pictures ARE photoshopped, what the fuck difference does it make and who appointed you the Grand Pajandrum of digital photography?

    Sheesh!

  52. Snooster

    I don’t think that necessarily makes him a bad boy; that makes him a person who can examine things that have happened to him in his past. I mean, I guess you can point to that time when he took nude photos or released sex tapes and then retracted them just for the publicity… oh wait…. Call me a stupid girl who falls into some trap, but every once in awhile, it’s nice to hear a witty blow against something that everybody with the ability to google things knows is bullshit.

  53. Snooster

    No, everyone should walk around and not take things that their parents indoctrinated them with as gospel (LOL). “But what do I know? I’m an “ugly” atheist. And you’re clearing very smart.” Yes, he is clearing very smart. HEY! HOw about people who know jack s*** about engineering go and design something, because knowledge about a subject shouldn’t limit you! Go nuts! Design those bridges! Sure, you don’t care to actually inform yourself that ancient Sumerians were around when the world was supposedly created, so why question anything at all?!

  54. Snooster

    Hey, what’s why we have agnosticism. And also, carbon-dating that refutes fairy tales.

    Middle – DUMBEST POST OF THE DAY AWARD!

    Go read a fucking book or something that isn’t your picture bible.

    ann

    atheism : religion : :bald : hair color

    the difference between science and religion is the evidence.

  58. Mary

    Totally agree with you dude. People too often think that it’s intelligent to be an atheist. Until you personally understand all the laws of the universe (good luck with that), you are an absolute hypocrite to bash people for their faith in a god.

  59. Richard McBeef, PhD

    I think that ultimately most atheists are agnostics on the most basic level but they apply some logic and don’t see it as 50/50 odds.

  60. mandi

    I would agree with that. I just think it’s really easy to classify something as “extreme” without realizing that the alternative is… ordinary. He’s making it sound like having an opinion is SO EXTREMIST.

  61. bdog

    Yeah, “pissed” as in drunk, sloshed, muntered, intoxicated, inebriated, wasted, hammered, trashed, slammed, shitfaced, loaded or plastered.
    I’m actually English… we have as many words for drunk as eskimos have for snow
    “: )

  62. bdog

    wow, close. The oposite side, Stevenage. up Norf now tho’

  63. Snooster

    Hey dude, I know you’re being forced to read this site, but… hey, there’s a fine line between love and hate.

  64. Snooster

    That’s in-real-life sad. Hanging around Catholics? Like his freaking parents? Who, btw, he didn’t say were Catholic. Many self proclaimed ‘Catholics’ are awful people. So they believe in salvation but discount everything else in the religion? You want to be saved but you still look at pictures of blowjobs and naked girls?

  65. Jennay

    Haha, cool, just pick and choose the parts of the Bible that work for you.

  66. Snooster

    Hey, man. I’m sorry you reject any and all ‘extremism’ in order to be an extremist against pop culture. Duh there is a bunch of crap we still don’t understand; but on the scale of ‘understanding backed by physical facts’, people who follow empirical evidence are miles ahead of people who believe in zombies (rise from the dead, eh?) and fairy tales that run contrary to such evidence.

  67. Snooster

    YOU SIR, ARE INCORRECT. Hey, how about; scientists are not afraid to re-examine things held as ‘truths’, because more advanced science shows them so, and also, I’m not afraid to admit that I do not in fact know what happens after we die, which you guys are so loathe to give up. Science is not as biased as religion. Science CHANGES. The world is no longer FLAT. Jesus fucking christ, if he wanted people to be advanced and ‘made in an image of himself’ in the first place, he would have said “Guys, the earth is round, you freaking idiots.” But you hold onto the same freaking dogma that’s been passed down for hundreds of years. Yeah, THAT’S a good assumption. “Nothing EVER changes, hurr… “

  68. LDS? Me I was raised on LSD.

  69. KIKI

    Middle, thanks for that. I don’t know why atheists get so pissed about other peoples beliefs, but they do. You are right. It is just another form of worship. Worship of self and IQ.

  70. Doc Schweinstrudel

    That’s the whole point of Christ sacrifice. He took all our sins upon himself. Yes including looking at pics of bjs and naked girls.
    And what did you think? That believing in Christ makes someone flawless?
    Of course not!

  71. dorkvizier

    You are a fking freak.. hope you get arrested soon.. maybe I’ll tell the cops what you said so they can track down your ip address.. you piece of shit

  72. Jennay

    Read the article again – he is not making fun of a belief system, he’s calling out a troubled part of a sect of Christianity. We need more people to stand against the crazy.

  73. Well, he is, after all, The Fish. He goes deep. In the water. With the fishes. Like Luca Brasi, only less dead.

  74. No, you can defend it if you want, no one is going to slap you around. Especially if you bazzleduggy the whyffriboog and slummterpuffle in harrwdle pruffs.

  75. Wat hed? I only see boobs.

  76. rachel

    oh definitely.

  77. Jesus

    Hey goys,

    Yes, speaking in latin or otherwise is very real – The Holy Spirit Takes Over

    You’re not doing it

    So Katy’s half rite . . . .

    I know this

    However, she is pretty fucking dumb, presumptive, and gossipy, making her defunkt and a waste to G d in the first or second place . . . third place goes to Bubbles the chimp, at least that Beast knows when to shut the fuck up…..

    David (Jesus)

    I went to Notre Dame University hahaha but in Australia, not America. No idea what it’s like in America but here it’s only just getting a name for itself. Needless to say, I just transferred to a much better university :)
