jesus&mo: often

have you been told to respect others' religion, or more to the point, shut the fuck up? well, i have, and recently too, although i must say that it's extremely rare... not exactly often. to that, i say, quite simply, no.

so i relish posting the latest jesus&mo.

the god of the old testament, defined

ignorant amos' comment on a post on RDFRS... long, but fun:

snip

"the god of the ΟΤ is arguably the most unpleasant character in all fiction: jealous and proud of it; a petty, unjust, unforgiving control-freak; a vindictive, bloodthirsty ethnic cleanser; a misogynistic, homophobic, racist, infanticidal, genocidal, filicidal, pestilential, megalomaniacal, sadomasochistic, capriciously malevolent bully."

unpleasant un·pleas·ant/ˌənˈplezənt/ adjective 1. causing discomfort, unhappiness, or revulsion; disagreeable.

2 chronicles 15:13 whosoever would not seek the lord god of israel should be put to death, whether small or great, whether man or woman.

dan savage interviews tim minchin

skewer mouth



'when i'm being mean about religion, i'm being mean about where religion goes wrong. i'm not just being mean to people for having faith. i think about this shit a lot. but to bring it back to what you were saying, i do want to be a humanist, and i do want to point out to people that beauty is in the real world and not in the fake one, and how the language of spirituality is empty. i mean, i'm not on a mission. i'm on a mission to just play fun gigs and make people have a fucking riot of a time. but the bigger my audience gets, the more i have to take responsibility for what i'm saying.' 

the entire interview here.

can i be your friend?

jon stewart's grecian burn disappoints too... but still kinda funny.

comic mind's eye images of the elderly shooting yogurt bombs not withstanding, jon stewart could've been waaaaaaaaaaaay funnier if he got his facts straight.


retirement at 53? 6 weeks vacation??
i love you jon, but i kick myself when i don't fact-check... do you?

still, he's right about some things being better than they are in the u.s... that's what you get when a large part of your population is lulled and/or bribed into a deep sleep.

last but not least, i would have preferred images of a months' worth of  peaceful protests (like... i don't know... mine?) than a short outbreak of violence, placed with surgical precision i might add, as is systematically projected by the media... (like... i don't know... boston.com?).

afterthought: blaming the wider population of working people -- who are being ordered to shut up and fix it -- for the failings of a credit/speculation system supported by corrupt politicians, ruthless businesses and their grand larceny and scandals, is the lazy way out.


oh... and....
i get these over the interwebs, and this just popped up, as they do in reverse order, somehow.

ricky gervais' easter card

unveiled on the second part of the daily show extended interview and shown in full on his piece, 'why i'm a good christian':



'the title of this one is a little misleading, or at least cryptic. i am of course not a good christian in the sense that i believe that jesus was half man, half god, but i do believe i am a good christian compared to a lot of christians.

it's not that i don't believe that the teachings of jesus wouldn't make this a better world if they were followed. it's just that they are rarely followed.'
