The Funny Side of Religion

Winston Churchill famously said that Royal Navy tradition was nothing but rum, sodomy and the lash.

Compared to an Irish Catholic education, it doesn't sound that bad...



at least you get rum

Just to point out that instead of ATHEISM this should read AMERICAN ATHEISTS as that is the logo of their organisation. As for the fundraising and weekly gatherings.. I dunno, so can't speculate on that.

Our Catholic aid programme only installs Ubuntu .. Its free .. no explorer.

Just out of curiosity. Do they install the special christian edition of Ubuntu or stick with the regular version?

Meh, these "atheists" obviously aren't true atheists because they most certainly do not keep current with science.

There's pretty much a Christian version of everything. Here's the Christian Civil Engineer Technician's Handbook.

I am at a loss as to how labelling it Christian could possibly make a difference in it's context?

For you it makes no difference, you'd buy it if the book was good and useful. For the devout and paranoid Christian though it might be seen as a seal of approval that this book contains no ungodly content.

Was just glancing in the christianity forum and in particular; a thread about creationism.
I found it confusing, amusing and annoying all at once that some of the posters were laughing at the idea of creationism.

From what I can see, yes they have. They removed the poem The New Colossus, which has the famous line, "give me your tired, your poor, your huddled masses". Seems they want to close off the country to those type of people that originally moved to the country.

The church clearly gave no thought to their version of the statue.

EDIT: yep. they put the Ten Commandments on the tablet :rolleyes:

It's an african american church according to wikipedia which just makes it weirder.

Seems its not the only one:

An 11-foot (3.4 m) miniature Statue of Liberty (holding a Bible instead of a tablet) currently stands atop a 15-foot (4.6 m) pedestal outside the Liberty Recycling plant in San Marcos, California. The company was named after the statue, which has been moved throughout northern San Diego County for over 80 years, originating at Liberty Hotel in Leucadia, in the 1920s.[

Very strange that recycling company would have such a statue, especially with the bible.

Given the the bible is merely the recycling of crap from other, older religions, and that it has be kind of recycled itself, perhaps not so strange...

To quote Cpt. Carrot quoting Commander Vimes: Just because someone's a member of an ethnic minority doesn't mean he's isn't a nasty, small minded, little jerk

What a massive insult to the French nation, where there's absolute separation of state and religion. They should demand the destruction of this mockery.

Commander Vimes was right!

I'm willing to bet at least 90% of Americans don't know it was a gift from the French.
