Pope Francis Brings Christmas Cheer To Rome’s Children’s Hospital PHOTOS

Posted on December 21, 2013 by Emmett

Pope Francis Brings Christmas Cheer To Rome’s Children’s Hospital PHOTOS. How terribly sad.  It’s sad that the children are sick; it is my belief that suffering children are evidence that any god that may exist is certainly not benevolent.  It’s also … Continue reading →

Musings on a Catholic upbringing

Posted on December 19, 2013 by Emmett

I went to a Catholic elementary school in Brooklyn, New York, from 1966 to 1973.  My neighborhood was almost exclusively Catholic: Lebanese, Syrians, Kurds, Italians, Irish and a few Puerto Ricans.  People with names like Khoury, Kurdy, Kawas, Bagley, Moury, … Continue reading →

Jesus the intolerant know-it-all

Posted on December 17, 2013 by Emmett

In Mark, chapter 7, we have a good example of Jesus being a nasty bastard who approves of the Old Testament laws involving the killing of children for disobedience.  Yes, folks, there is no other way of interpreting this.  Sorry. 8 You … Continue reading →

Jesus, the good son

Posted on December 17, 2013 by Emmett

I’m not making this up.  It’s one of the “hard parts” of the New Testament…priests and ministers have a hard time with this, understandably. “Then His mother and His brothers arrived, and standing outside they sent word to Him and called Him. … Continue reading →

snopes.com: White House Ban on ‘Christmas’ Trees. Okay, here we go again.  I’m….I’m….indignant!  How can people be so stupid as to have to worry about what the frigging White House does vis-a-vis their stupid god — or demi-god?  Is their silly Jay-zuss … Continue reading →

Who gives two squirts?

Posted on December 15, 2013 by Emmett

There’s currently a big to-do about Fox News idiot Megyn Kelly’s assertion that both Santa and Jesus were white.  (Actually, further betraying her pig-ignorance, I believe she said “are white.”)  As a result, well-meaning folks like gentle, liberal Christians have … Continue reading →

Atheists can be indignant, too.

Posted on December 14, 2013 by Emmett

I began this site with Christmas in mind: it is, after all, December 14 as I write this.  We’re right smack in the middle of the War on Christmas.  It happens every year.  Just in case you’re one of those … Continue reading →
