Truth for Youth!
I have just found what is simultaneously the most hilarious yet depressing thing on the Internet: The Truth for Youth Bible! Spewing forth their usual garbage about Evolution is crap, Science is Wrong, Rock'n'Roll is the Devil's playground and Homosexuality is a sin, as well as genuinely new information such as "Safe Sex is wrong" (seriously) and "Pornography makes you a terrible husband and possible wifebeater", neither of which are actually supported by evidence in any respected reviews anywhere (although get a lot of support from the kind of reviews who claim A Flood Caused Geography, which are generally only read by people who already think the same thing...)
But is this just an irate atheist's crusade against religion? Does Joe just have it in for christians? He must do, after all, how could this book be wrong with testimonials such as this:
"This young man from Columbus, GA received a Truth For Youth Bible, read the comic on Rock Music, went home and threw all of his "Spice Girl" posters and CD's in the trash!"
Yeah, sure, that's the reason a grown man threw out his Spice Girl CDs...

I don't mind religion, but if I was going to start my own, it'd have two rules.
1. Bring Ben McDonalds
2. Don't be a cunt.
I think that pretty much covers everything in life. Causing global warming? Thats gonna screw up the earth for the people of tomorrow, and its a bit of a cuntish thing to do. Don't do it! Stealing something? Thats a bit of a cuntish thing, don't do it!
Heathen Burners is the best religion i rekons
I Wholeheartedly agree Ben, and what's more, i would also like to be brought McDonalds. Let's get this religion started!
I do mind religion.
And from now on it will be referred to as False Feudal Reality. :P
It's fairly sad that Ben's idea of religion is more or less humanist ethics with a deity. I find it pretty humourous, this wave of DIY religion, where people cherry pick their preferred ideas out of the melting pot that is traditional religion. Think the Church's stance on contraception is bad? That's ok, just don't include that belief in your personal folio.
All it does for me is highlight exactly how empty it all is.
Can't people do good without the promise of eternal reward? Or is it the paralysing fear of death? I find this quest to bend religion to modern needs hilarious. It's as though we're deathly afraid of doing without it, but we hate its old form. So here's new religion!
Yes, once again I made a serious comment on a semi serious post :P
Now John, I said if I was going to start my own religion, not "We should change existing religion to this". Kind of like how someone could say "if I was going to create a religion, I'd say humans are the spirits of aliens who were massacred by being thrown into a volcano".
Anyway, the evolution one is hilarious. "Just because a bunch of noisy people keep saying the same thing over and over, DOESN'T make them right.... and it DOESN'T make them experts!"
While all you heathens burn in Hell, I'll be flouncing around heaven with James Blunt look-a-likes and lots of puppies :D Hurray for Laura's heaven!
