An extremely patient Dad explains to his vulgarian of a son that Santa doesn’t exist. I’m an ex-sailor and I don’t use the word “fuck” that many times in a week, much less a single conversation. You may need to pause here and there to catch everything said.
Spanish with English subtitles.
Enjoy!

So…where the fuck was “God”?
In reading about the account of an autistic boy who went missing (and was found 6 days later) in Virgina, I came across this little gem of a quote from Hanover County Sheriff David Hines:
There were sometimes that you just had to reach down and find that faith that you were going to find him. Whether it’s appropriate or not for everyone, there is a God. He listens to prayers, and prayers were answered,” he said.
Nice. What eats the lining out of my stomach is that time and again, reporters let people get away with this without offering the slightest challenge. If someone makes an “on the record” comment to a reporter, that comment is fair game to be scrutinized and questioned. Isn’t that what is supposed to happen? Isn’t that what reporters are supposed to do?
When the circumstances were such that the boy could have been lost, where was the miraculous intervention to prevent it from happening in the first place? Where the fuck was “God” THEN?! Taking a nap? Getting laid? Playing poker?

A form response???
I’m beginning to think I need to start developing a formulaic response to some of the typical meandering bullshit that theists tend to write in defense of this or that boogaboo belief or assclown legislative effort. I’m a lazy ass, so I’ve lifted a scene from Billy Madison and altered it a bit to fit the occasion.
What you’ve just written is one of the most insanely idiotic things I have ever read. At no point in your rambling, incoherent response were you even close to anything that could be considered a rational thought. Everyone in this thread is now dumber for having read it. I award you no points, and may the Flying Spaghetti Monster bitch-slap you with his turgid appendage.
Fuck it. It’s not like they’re going to listen to reason anyway. May as well have some fun.

YouTube atheist TruthSurge hits another one out of the park with the clever “My Least Favorite Things”.
*videos*Classic YouTube Christian Fun
Even if they missed the original TV broadcast, many folks, no doubt are familiar with the Trading Spouses (November, 2005) YouTube clips of the “God Warrior” lady Marguerite Perrin. While her behavior is bizarre (and entertaining), she is not what I would call representative of Christians.
This other, lesser known clip from the show, in which the other mother (Jeanne D’Amico, purveyor of New Age woo) meets the friends of the “God Warrior”, really shows the type of arrogance that is all too common among the Christian right here in the U.S. The fun starts at 1:58
I don’t know what’s more disturbing; the fanatic, frothing-at-the-mouth hysterics of the “God Warrior” or the cold, arrogant and mean-spirited interrogating by her friends.
*video*reverend bray fart?
This is the Reverend “Dr.” Terry Jones aka Braveheart. He’s the star of “The Braveheart Show” and yes, you read that correctly at the top of the screen…”Obama is President because he is black”. And no, I’m not making this shit up.
I first caught on to this guy because of a post on The Friendly Atheist in which a burning of Qurans by “Dr.” Jones’ church was being discussed.
Seriously, though, that’s not the half of it. In fact, if you look at the rest of this guy’s site, the book burning comes off as pretty tame.
As you’ve no doubt guessed, my favorite part of his site is his video series called “The Braveheart Show”.
They make it so easy. Like shooting fish in a barrel.
*video*UFO over China
Woo detectors everywhere should be going off like crazy right now. One thing I have to know. What in the hell is with the heroic, Wagnerian soundtrack tacked on to this video? Beyond corny.
At any rate, as this has come out of China, it’s immediately suspect. Let’s not forget the source of the monkey sniper story…
Reader Terry the Censor sent me this link to offer some plausible explanations. Thanks!
In Days of Old when Men were Bold…
Quite often you hear the American Taliban hearkening back to the time in our history when Bible believing Americans were in the majority and knew just what to do to make things right…because they used the Bible as their guide.
Back then there was respect for God’s Word and the Ten Commandments were taught in every public school and hung in every public building.
Back then every American child was raised to believe the Bible as being the literal Word of God and that belief is what made our country so great.
You know…”The Good Ole Days”.
Exactly when “The Good Ole Days” were is never made entirely clear by fundies, but if you ask around, it seems that many folks agree that the beginning of the end of those blessed times can be connected to the birth of the New Left in the 1960’s. You could point to the start of what both sides would call “The Culture Wars”.
Last night I was thumbing through an American pre-Victorian era Mother Goose that I had inherited from a deceased relative’s estate back in the 1980’s. I pored over the entire 316 pages of the volume looking for verses or poems with religious references in them. There are two or three innocuous references to parsons and priests and then there are these two gems that I have reproduced here.
If anything would reflect a society’s attitude towards religion’s place, I would think it should be their children’s literature.
How literally and seriously did Americans in pre-Victorian times (the REALLY good old days!) take the Bible?
Draw your own conclusions:
Sometimes you feel like a nut….
I just read an article on MSNBC.com about some schmuck named Wilson from Montana who faces heavy-duty prison time for “stealing” a house in foreclosure and claiming (in paperwork filed with the county clerk’s office) that he purchased the property from Yahweh.
While the story itself isn’t so remarkable, the last portion of the article got me to thinking:
“…Many of the journal entries appear to be addressed to “the creator, Yahweh.”
“Wow. You surely have blessed me with some wonderful opportunities,” Lenz read from the journals, which referred to a property with a “million-dollar value” that “seems to be waiting for me to claim it. Wow on wow.”
Wilson refused attempts by District Judge Kim Christopher to appoint legal counsel for him. He didn’t participate in his trial and offered no defense. He read from an IRS document Monday and was reading the Bible during Tuesday’s court session.
Authorities have said they believe Wilson tried to claim ownership of at least two more houses, one he was living in and one he was renting out, but he has not been charged in those cases.
A court-ordered mental health evaluation found Wilson fit to stand trial.”
What a minute. Let’s read that last sentence again.
“A court-ordered mental health evaluation found Wilson fit to stand trial.”
WTF???
Now, there’s a lot of us in the atheist blogosphere (myself included) bitching about the ever-present and pervasive religious (especially Christian) privilege in the United States. It seems religious privilege can be a double-edged blade, however – at least for poor Mr. Wilson.
For example, if Mr. Wilson had claimed that he had purchased the homes from The Cat in the Hat, how likely is it that mental health professionals would have found him fit to stand trial? Yes, yes, yes, I know, they would have to demonstrate that he didn’t know that what he was doing was wrong, but still…do you really think he would have been convicted by a jury of his peers? I highly doubt it.
Apparently the thought that Mr. Wilson was engaged in a business transaction with an imaginary being seems to have never crossed the minds of the mental health “professionals”.
The best they could do is claim that Mr. Wilson lied about making a real estate transaction with God. The fact that the entity that he claims to have entered into a contract with is non-existent was not only irrelevant; it was taboo to discuss it.
Finding Mr. Wilson to be insane would have been tantamount to denying Yahweh’s existence.
Makes you wonder who the real nuts are.
