It’s entertaining to poke fun at our religious freak friends. But now it’s time for a little positivity in the religious arena. This put a smile on my face and my hope is that it will do the same for you :)

One Nation, an American Muslim community website, held a contest called One Nation, Many Voices. The purpose was to educate people about the American Muslim experience. Online voters at LinkTv determined the winner.

The prize-winning entry belongs to a 23-year-old Lena Khan. She asked 2,000 American Muslims what they wished to say to the rest of the world. Khan pieced together a 5-minute video with some of the responses to the song “A Land Called Paradise” by Kareem Salama.

The result was quite enjoyable. Enjoy!

America’s Christians are under attack by Godless sodomites (that’s you and me if you didn’t know.) We (the Godless sodomites) are silencing Christians at an astounding rate in order to achieve our one true goal… pushing the gay agenda!

How they uncovered our plans I have no idea! But we must stay strong and focus on our mission… pushing the gay agenda!

It will be difficult, as the Christians have struck back with a valuable, honest, and insightful TV series that exposes the reality of America’s anti-Christian bias and urges believers to put an end to the silence!

The series premiered March 1 and will air 13 episodes on the Inspiration Network. Luckily for us we don’t need to have the Inspirational Network because the episodes are available on the web at here.

Here’s a little teaser trailer to get your blood pumping…

The new site is up and running!!

I wasn’t going to make it live just yet but I figured what the hell :) Besides the bling, there are actually some new features which I’ll get to later. But right now, I am half way out the door to throw back quite a few well-deserved drinks! Go ahead and take a look around and make yourselves at home.

Ok, I have time to mention one new feature and that is the “Latest Freak News” section to your right in the side bar. Essentially this area is where readers can submit articles and upon quick review they will get posted. This should keep you all busy when I don’t have time to post stuff :) More to come…

Cheers!

For years scientists have been studying earthquakes and their causes to better predict them. This research alone could save thousands of lives each year. But after decades of scientific research in the US and abroad, progress has been slow at best. It appears that scientists, who have focused on tectonic plates and faults, have been barking up the wrong tree all along.

The cause of earthquakes is far less complicated than expected and has nothing to do with science. In a stunning discovery by Ultra-Orthodox Jews, the root cause of earthquakes has been traced to homosexuality! I know what you’re thinking… WOW how could we have missed that one!

Not convinced? I have two words for you… San Francisco ;)

A staggering 70% of Americans, according to a study conducted by Arizona State University, seem to think so. Only 29.5% of American respondents view nanotechnology as morally acceptable! This compares to 54.1% percent in the United Kingdom, 62.7 percent in Germany and 72.1 percent in France. Complete story here.

These findings were presented by Dietram Scheufele, Ph.D. at this year’s annual meeting of the American Association for the Advancement of Science. Dr. Scheufele believes that Americans tend to look at nanotechnology in the same light as stem cell research… ultimately viewed by religious folks as “playing God”.

What I found somewhat shocking is that Dr Scheufele said the respondents were well informed about nanotechnology and potential benefits. Yet they still oppose it solely based on their religious beliefs.

While they may be informed on the benefits of nanotechnology, I think religious folk are grossly misinformed (as usual) about the basics. Nanotechnology is essentially working with material at a molecular level. The benefits range from better packaging for foods to aiding in the search for a cure to cancer. For a more complete list of current uses take a look here.

But not all Christians are against nanotechnology. Some Christians have actually embraced the technology. If there’s one thing that can compromise a Christian’s morals, it’s the almighty dollar. Behold yet another feeble Christian attempt to ca$h in on their religion. It is my pleasure to introduce (drum roll please) The NanoBible!

This morning I received a plea for help from Chris Weber, a PhD candidate at Stony Brook University. Chris is conducting a survey for his dissertation in Political Science and could use our help. I know it’s political in nature, but religion and politics go hand-in-hand these days :(

If you’re interested in helping please read the following from Chris:

The purpose of this survey is to examine how people think and feel about the political issues, parties, and candidates in the upcoming election. In the survey, you will be asked a series of questions about two political candidates, John McCain and Hillary Clinton. We are very interested in how individuals that find information on the web think about politics, and your participation would be greatly appreciated. In total, the survey should take about 15 minutes to complete. The survey is completely anonymous and you can skip any questions you do not wish to answer.

Click here to take the survey

I have taken the survey myself and will not comment on it as it may bias your answers. And for that same reason I will disable the comments on this post. Once the survey is complete, Chris will share the results with us and we can comment then.

Enjoy!

I just a read a disturbingly good article entitled “The Dumbing Of America” by Susan Jacoby of the Washington Post. Jacoby claims that not only are Americans quickly becoming more ignorant, but they are increasingly proud of it. Sadly I agree :(

Whether you’re black, white, brown, or even purple with polka dots, ignorance doesn’t care. Are you a Democrat? Maybe you’re a Republican. Guess what! It doesn’t matter because ignorance crosses party lines. Ignorance goes to church and ignorance pays it’s taxes. Ignorance shops at the local grocery store and delivers your mail. It teaches your kids at school and bosses you around at work. Ignorance is omnipresent!

It’s evident in almost every facet of American life. Whether it’s public support for teaching creationism in schools or Miss Teen South Carolina answering a question, it’s apparent that Americans are slipping.

For those of you too lazy to read the article here are a few choice clips:

“The mind of this country, taught to aim at low objects, eats upon itself.” Ralph Waldo Emerson offered that observation in 1837, but his words echo with painful prescience in today’s very different United States. Americans are in serious intellectual trouble — in danger of losing our hard-won cultural capital to a virulent mixture of anti-intellectualism, anti-rationalism and low expectations.

That leads us to the third and final factor behind the new American dumbness: not lack of knowledge per se but arrogance about that lack of knowledge. The problem is not just the things we do not know (consider the one in five American adults who, according to the National Science Foundation, thinks the sun revolves around the Earth); it’s the alarming number of Americans who have smugly concluded that they do not need to know such things in the first place. Call this anti-rationalism — a syndrome that is particularly dangerous to our public institutions and discourse. Not knowing a foreign language or the location of an important country is a manifestation of ignorance; denying that such knowledge matters is pure anti-rationalism. The toxic brew of anti-rationalism and ignorance hurts discussions of U.S. public policy on topics from health care to taxation.

The following is a public service announcement from ReligiousFreaks.com:

It has come to my attention that there is an evil Jew running for election in the Christian town of Memphis, Tennessee. What’s worse is that he’s a white Jew in a predominately black district! OMG!$#%$

Obviously Rep Steven Cohen was trying to keep his “faith” and color a secret and sneak by on the issues alone. Well lucky for us though, Reverend George Brooks of not-so-nearby Murfreesboro, Tenn. wasn’t asleep at the wheel. This Christian Brother of the struggle has stepped up to the plate! Brooks did the community a service by plastering the town with these lovely flyers to inform and educate the masses. Complete story here.

What would Jesus do you ask? Well here’s your answer!

Last year Palestinian children were introduced to Farfur, a Muslim abomination of Mickey Mouse that swore to annihilate the Jews. He was the hit character on the Hamas children’s show “Tomorrow’s Pioneers”. It was covered briefly on my site here.

The obvious child indoctrination sparked worldwide condemnation. Many called for an end to Farfur, but Hamas remained defiant and refused to pull the show. They instead turned Farfur into a martyr on his last episode when an Israeli soldier took him out during interrogation. Think I’m kidding? You can watch Farfur’s Academy Award winning performance here.

Farfur’s successor was Nahul the Bee, but his reign was short lived. Nahul died a just a week ago when the “Israeli siege of Gaza” prevented him from reaching the hospital to get urgent medical care. There’s no need to mourn this great loss though because Assud the psycho Jew-eating Bugs Bunny look-alike is here to make things right!

It times like these when I often wonder how Muslims can be outraged over the Mohammed caricatures when crap like this is being served to Muslim children in their very own homes. Enjoy the show!

Early Tuesday morning Danish police arrested several Muslims suspected of conspiring to kill 72-year-old cartoonist Kurt Westergaard. Complete story here.

For those of you in the dark, Westergaard was one of the 12 cartoonists who published the cartoons of the Prophet Mohammed back in September 2005. But Westergaard drew what would become the most famous caricature of them all… the Prophet Mohammed wearing a turban with a ginormous bomb in it.

These cartoons sparked a wide range of reactions from Muslims the world over; none of which were good. From riots to protests to boycotts, Muslim fanatics ran amuck. Even this website, along with countless others, were temporarily knocked offline by Turkish hackers for carrying the images.

What I find fascinating is that Muslims forbid caricatures of the Prophet Mohammed because they feel it may lead to idolatry. They want to protect their religion and their beloved Prophet Mohammed. Ok I get that and to be honest it makes sense to a certain extent. Hell, even the Christians have a rule against this (Exodus 20:4).

But what’s so amusingly ironic is that the result of this is far more damaging to the religion they cherish so much. In their attempt to avoid idolizing Mohammed, they ended up idolizing their entire religion in a sense. And with that comes an almost insane lack of rationality when anyone or anything remotely “criticizes” Islam and it’s Prophet Mohammed.

Just a heads up for those in Denmark… Three of Denmark’s largest newspapers plan to reprint Westergaards infamous caricature tomorrow as a result of the arrests and to show that fanatics will not intimidate them. Bravo!

UPDATE: Several Danish newspapers have in fact reprinted the infamous cartoon!
