so funny

This strip is hilarious, by the way.

quick recap

this is the way it is. Via PZ, natch.

Fundamentalists: believe 2+2 =5 because It Is Written. Somewhere. They have a lot of trouble on their tax returns.

"Moderate" believers: live their lives on the basis that 2+2=4. but go regularly to church to be told that 2+2 once made 5, or will one day make 5, or in a very real and spiritual sense should make 5.

"Moderate" atheists: know that 2+2 =4 but think it impolite to say so too loudly as people who think 2+2=5 might be offended.

"Militant" atheists: "Oh for pity's sake. HERE. Two pebbles. Two more pebbles. FOUR pebbles. What is WRONG with you people?"

pope ain't no monkey

I was searching for something totally unrelated, and i noticed the phrase "the pope ain't no monkey!" and it got me thinking, and then my brain kind of garthed out and i ended up on some totally random pathway thinking about chimps and whatnot, and remembered what i was doing but not why, and somehow ended up with this:

Irregardlessly, i think it's a good idea to continue to keep the evangelicals suspcious of catholics and jews, which they do anyways because they're crazy-assed idiot religions tell them to, for the purpose of diluting their mindless borg-powers. i bet if you sold bumperstickers that say "the pope ain't tellin me how to pray!!!!1!" with like a picture of a .45 on em, you'd be a millionaire.
Or something like. I don't ever want to miss a chance to make fun of religion.

dude! my stones!

the bible is funny as shit:

23:1 He that is wounded in the stones, or hath his privy member cut off, shall not enter into the congregation of the LORD.

Ahah! baby, i love what you do to my privy member! I'm sure ancient moabites said that. The Skeptic's Annotated Bible is kickass, I'm surprised I don't remember seeing it already. Of course, I'm old and my memory is going. What?

No.

It doesn't concern me.

No more than any other quackery or made-up gibberish concerns me.
