Even for a Xian, doesn’t it get a little tiring to read the same subject repeated ad infinitum. Jesus this, Jesus that. Give me a break already.

I started to feel like that when I was deconverting. The sermons were SO repetitious, I could have gotten up there and delivered them myself. And reading and re-reading and studying the bible for 30 years straight, always with the same interpretations and emphases – enough already!

A lot of Christians have no idea what a wonderful world of knowledge is out there and available to them because they are channeled into such dull, one-track thinking.

Wal-Mart’s for Christians. Borders is for atheists.

That’s SO true. Someone was telling me how much they enjoy shopping for books. I said that I do to. Little did I know, we weren’t speaking the same language.

Yeah, as you may be able to tell, I am a SUPER huge Greg Graffin fan…0_0

“I detest Jingle Bells, White Christmas, Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer, and the obscene spending bonanza that nowadays seems to occupy not just December, but November and much of October, too,” he told the Times.

Odd, I’ve heard pious Christians say the same sort of thing. Basically that Christmas has become too secularized and commercialized. So what is the big deal about Dawkins saying that?

Christopher Hitchen’s new line of atheist vodkas

Oooooh, now that sounds promising!

“Seems this stuff comes out earlier and earlier every year,” they’d say, shoving wrapping paper and Santa candies into their baskets, “I just don’t know why you guys put it out so soon”.

That’s hilarious.
