P.Z.’s My Homey

I couldn’t have said it any better:
There are demented fuckwits running for the office of president in the most militarily powerful nation in the world. They think they can have conversations with an all-powerful cosmic being who instructs them in the right things to do, and that they have the approval of that being, no matter what they do: they can initiate an unjust and futile war that kills and maims our soldiers and slaughters the civilians of another country; they can endorse torture; they can deprive people of their civil rights; they can treat loving couples as pariahs if they don’t meet their abstract notions of who is allowed to fall in love; they can poison the planet; they can oppress the poor; they can enrich their corrupt cronies; they can pretty much run roughshod over any notion of justice, liberty, and equality. And what does their imaginary god do? He gives them a phantasmal thumbs-up and an ethereal “Good job!” and assures them that he is on their side. That’s all he can do, since all he is is a projection of a mob of venal bluenoses’ sense of entitlement.
Enough said.

Yep, that about nails it. God is merely used as a justification to be an asshole.

“They think they can have conversations with an all-powerful cosmic being who instructs them in the right things to do…”
And somehow free-thinkers are the evil ones for preferring to arrive at moral decisions through reason.
Great cartoon for this post, as well as the one Bernarda linked to. Might be funnier if they weren’t painfully true.

We are God’s very favoritest country in the whole worlds. Well, that portion of the U. S. that is Caucasian is. I mean that portion that’s Christian and Caucasian. Or to be more precise, that portion that’s True Christian™ and Caucasian.This is why we’re entitled to drop bombs on brown people any time we feel like it. Peace on Earth.

Hmmm…RE Old Viking’s (sorta!):
“Peace on Earth”
Of course, as is my wont…to recollect that fabricated, idiotic, phantasmagorical, ‘Cripesmas’ Angel quoting story reference:
Catlick version: “Peace on Earth to men of good will!”
Prostate-ant version: “Peace on Earth, good will toward men!”
[I leave you all to interpret the old perennially argumented, theological, difference.]
And, perhaps, ‘humor’ me for just a moment?…
Let’s take the more common…the second…version; and update it a bit to conform with a more accurate, contemporary “Fundie Agenda”(?)…How ’bout:
“Piss on Earth; and Man?…you’d BETTER make a good Living Will!”
OK…not too good! I’ll go back to my default, ‘Cynical Infidel’ version…
“Piss on Earth, and Fuck everybody on this stinking cesspool of a Planet!
And would you PLE-E-E-EASE…
stop playing that asinine, fucking, lame-ass, “Little Baby Jeebus”, bullshit Xmas Musac!
WHOSE a Grinch?”
Other than that…
“Have a Fucking Great Holiday, GifSters!…or…for all you younger dudes/dudettes…
Have a Great…Fucking Holiday…all you Wankers!”
Yeah…Any interpretation of that will do!
Of COURSE, I’m kidding!
Seasonal Peace and Love to All my fellow atheists!

I don’t see how the “Tax Cuts” tattoo on Jesus’ arm is supposed to be a bad thing.
