Phony facebook phriends

2008-10-20T17:30:00.008+10:00

I've decided to cull my facebook friends. I only want a hundred of them. It think it's a great number (100), a nice round number. I'm not interested in building a huge bank of online acquaintances and facebook is no fun unless people interact or there's some commonality, or at least a decent amount of knowledge of each other.

I don't have a lot of friends, as I grew up mostly in church and didn't think to befriend many of the 'unsaved'. I left all my lifelong friends back at the cult and it was them that kept me in there for so long. The thought of starting life with no friends was extraordinarily daunting, but I am soooooooooooooooooo glad I got out when I did, especially for my kids.

I found that friends are really difficult to maintain outside of church systems. There's no pastor to mediate between friends after a fight, or to handle money problems between them. People aren't as blindly forgiving as church friends were (I could be a dickhead and people would 'have' to forgive me asap). And friends were much more regularly seen and all had the same common delusion to ramble on about.

Although I may be friend and attention needy now after so many years of religiousity, I don't want fake friends and I've got a rough set of criteria for my facebook:

I cut someone today for talking about how great church was this weekend... I don't come on to facebook to hear about your cult and the poor saps who got converted into it on the weekend. That's just depressing.
If you haven't ever responded to me after numerous posts on your facebook.. I may not be a fantastic person but at least talk to me once.
If you've been inactive for 3 months. Maybe you're over it?
if you have over 400 friends than I think you may be collecting numbers and not friends.
If you don't have a picture of your actual face on your facebook profile, it sort of defeats the purpose, by definition. Don't be ashamed of your face. If you really have a problem with the shape of your head, do something artistic, and just show your nose, or the back of your head.

Hello, I must be going

2008-10-19T18:22:00.009+10:00

I think I'm 'over' with my anti-religious blogging. I started this blog as a way of dealing with the big religious questions that confused my life and boggled my mind while leaving Christianity a few years ago and I think I've said everything I want to say about that. I want to blog about things that don't pertain to religion and I don't want to be stuck to a theme on my blog anymore. I don't want to start a new blog either for my mundane random rants. This may mean that various feeds, blogrolls, and the like will want to delete me from their lists. I will STILL be posting some religious parodies as I find them, so I'm not going to delete myself from any aggregates unless the content starts to wane disproportionately.

I grew tired of personal religion bagging blogging a while back and decided to use the blog to post Christian parody and satire. I think I've got the best collection of such material here and I'll continue to add to it when I happen across it. My links on the right hand column are fairly comprehensive for anyone who likes to have a laugh at the mainstream Christian mindset - even Christians should learn to laugh at themselves. I've spent a year collecting the BEST of it and it's all here. I have been noticing that the source of this material is drying up and I rarely seen new unique Christian satire or websites anymore.

Although I've called myself an atheist in times past, I'm really not. I'm open to the idea that everything I know about the universe could be wrong, that the seemingly obvious (un)supernaturality of it all is in fact the opposite. The idea that atoms exist and stick together in Angelina Jolie shaped clumps is supernatural enough for me to entertain the idea of a creator. But at this stage of the game I'm yet to see, hear of feel anything that truly convinces me that the Christian god exists and gives a damn about me.

I have many Christian friends that I admire and don't want to offend anymore with continuous belief bashing. True, I think most of them are weak minded loons who have stuck themselves into endless logic eddys of idiocy, but I also have friends who make good cases for their beliefs and I respect them personally AND will continue to weigh up their beliefs against my own. The. I'm an agnostic and will continue to ponder on the idea that the universe I'm a part of was manufactured by an omnipresent alien that has this ridiculously complicated plan to bring about some sort of salvation.

This blog never gained much of a readership anyway, and that's probably because I don't engage with other similarly themed blogs. I rarely even get Christian trolls popping on to tell me I'm going to hell anymore, and that's no fun when that well of entertainment dries up. I read the material in feeds and will continue to. The blog seems to get a lot of hits because of Religious Simpsons' quotes, Barbie Bridge's (Barbi Bridges - Pastor Melissa Scott) nude pictures, Hitchen's quotes, Evil Disney, and the combinations of the words Bible and Christian Porn.

I've been merging blogs into this 'one' so as to not ignore them. facebook has my attention and I can't see that waning. There is a blog facility on facebook, but it's not the same. This is my web log and my narcissistic self is its thrust. My name is Moth. Hi.

When Hoth freezes over

2008-08-19T20:31:00.003+10:00

(From I-Mockery) After Han Solo learns that Luke hasn't come back in from his patrol on Hoth and he's stuck outside in the freezing cold, Han tells an Echo Base officer that he's going to go out to look for his friend. The officer warns him that his tauntaun will freeze before he reaches the first marker, and Han replies "Then I'll see you in Hell!" and kicks his tauntaun into first gear. Mentioning such an Earth-specific concept like "Hell" seems really out-of-place in a Star Wars movie (especially when no religion other than the Force is ever mentioned), and it's always stuck out in my mind every time he says it. But he says it in such a totally dickish way that it never fails to make me grin, even though it does seem oddly out of place.

Julia Sweeney

2008-08-18T17:51:00.005+10:00

Julia Sweeney says she was a "happy Catholic girl" when, one day, she walked into church and signed up for a Bible-study course. "What an eye opener that was!" she says. "Next thing you know, I was on a quest for something I could really believe in. I traveled to places like Bhutan, Ecuador, and my local Starbucks looking for answers. Would I embrace Buddhism? New Age pseudo-science? Was I a freak for feeling the way I did, or were there other people out there just like me? I was grappling with serious questions. But, somehow, a lot of the things that were happening to me seemed, well, funny." Equally comedic and insightful, Letting Go of God is Sweeney's brilliant one-woman show about her struggle with her faith. Grappling with the seeming contradictions in Adam and Eve, Noah, the Ten Commandments, and even the teachings of Jesus - and trying to understand the Bible's messages about morality, family values, and human suffering while faced with door-knocking Mormons and wise-cracking priests - Sweeney takes listeners on her very personal journey from God to "not-God".

Hill$ong church parody - Praise the Lord

2008-08-17T06:20:00.000+10:00

Praise the Lord for all the cash I've got
Praise him for my Rolls Royce and my yacht
Serving God ain't hard, with a credit card
Jesus died so I could make a lot...

Praise the Lord, he's made us millionaires
Wave your donations in the air
We've replaced our hymns with ATMs
And soon we'll charge a fee on every prayer...

Jesus Christ was a poor man, don'cha know
He should have used our accountants for his cash flow
Stuff the sermon on the mount, he should have had a bank account
2000 years with interest... He'd be rolling in the dough.....

Praise the Lord, this song is out on CD
Just $40.95 plus GST
Hallelujah, plenty of moulah
Solid gold baubles on my Christmas tree...

I've got all of heaven's riches!!!
Thanks to all you stupid bitches.

Praise the Lord for modern Christianity...
Whoever said religion should be free...

Kentucky Fried Crucifixion

2008-08-14T22:41:00.004+10:00

PETA asks the Christians at KFC: "What would Jesus think of the fact that you’re not willing to even lift a finger to help the 850 million chickens killed for your restaurants, even though it is entirely within your power to do so? I’m not trying to be some Biblical scholar here, but honestly, it is just plain evil to continue to cause massive suffering when there are simple changes that can be made, and have been made by other fast food joints."

What would Jesus do? He had no problem sending an evil spirit into a herd of swine and letting them die, so maybe the 850 million chooks are the vessels for modern exorcised demons. All sorts of turtle doves and goats paid the price for sins and such in the old good book. I think a Chicken saviour is long overdue. A chosen chook should be raised up and cruci-fried for the sins of the colonel... hmm, maybe Pam Anderson is that old chook?

Protection for the Catholics...better than garlic!

A logical defence for the co-existence of evil and the Christian God!

2008-08-12T15:43:00.011+10:00

My original thought - God creates world to 'make worthy people?' - World endures unspeakable torment and evil while his plan of restoration via sacrifice results in a bunch of Christians winding up in heaven? To make this omelette, god grins and bears it while dancing along the broken eggshells of blood and pain that paved the way (and possibly continue to writhe in hell below).

The following is an excerpt from an interesting article that can be viewed in its entirety at The Revival Churches Discussion Forum: *I was posting comments left here at the forum but will no longer do so at the wishes of the original author.

Ian - "It's not my aim to touch on the origin of evil at this point, suffice it to say (with Thomas Aquinas), that ultimate cause rests with God. To consider this by way of propositional logic, my preferred form: (1) God is absolutely perfect; (2) God created only perfect creatures; (3) one of the perfections that God gave to some of his creatures was perfect choice; (4) some of these creatures freely chose to do evil; (5) therefore, a perfect creature caused evil. However, it's important to distinguish between the primary cause of a free action (God), and the secondary cause (a human being). Whilst God gave the power of choice, he's not responsible for the exercise of that free choice to do evil: God doesn't perform the free action for us. Also, and contrary to the position promoted by Christians having an Arminian slant, human free choice isn't a mere instrumental cause through which God necessarily works. Human beings are the efficient, albeit secondary, cause of their own free actions. God produces the fact of free choice, but each human being performs the act of free choice. Logically, then, God is responsible for the possibility of evil, but we are responsible for the actuality of it."

Evolution of Homer Simpson

God's inactions brand him as a mass murderer

2008-08-10T12:43:00.002+10:00

(The following references to god are hypothetical because I have not any evidence such a being exists - Moth)

Last week in Canada a man sharing a bus with others calmly left his seat and took out a knife to repeatedly stab and decapitate a young random person minding his own business. He taunted police and traumatised onlookers by playing with the decapitated head. It was horrifying beyond words and sure to be a source of nightmares for all those who witnessed the terror. Children were scarred for life with the gruesome scene and tragically learnt the truth that some people are truly monsters and this is the world they live in.

Clearly the murderer was insane, but has since admitted to the court that he knew what he was doing and knew it was wrong. Murder and rape and other monstrous things are done daily and I'm reminded by various school massacres and the 'ethnic' cleansings, ala Rwanda, that incredible pain and suffering is manifest in our society and always has been. Forget a future supernatural hell in the afterlife... people live in hell now.

When these things happen I try to imagine an omnipresent god shielding his eyes and cringing at the amount of cracked eggs that seem to have to happen in order to make his omelette. He 'could' intervene and stop the incredible suffering. Afterall, he does seem to find time to intervene and heal people from various colds and cancers now and then. Christians always make a big deal about the time when his son was tortured for an afternoon and then killed... luckily for him he was revived in a matter of days. The parents of the decapitated boy on the bus don't have that luxury and apparently will even have the Cult Fundamentalis Westbro Christians picketing at the funeral to tell Canada that the horror was god's devine judgement on their unrighteous government.

There are bible verses in Isaiah etc that hint that god created 'evil' or that is possibly interpreted as calamity. I don't know. He is certainly credited with creating everything and obviously knew what his creation would do. He created people knowing they would decapitate and rape each other. Apparently there is some punishment coming for the phsychopaths and reconciliation or restoration coming, but the price just seems too high. Aside from poor Jesus' whipping and crucifixion we have far too many children sodomised and molested by their own family members. It's just too common. For many people, being raped by daddy is as common as a family picnic. It's freaking gastly and mostly hidden, and it makes me angry when Christians say that this sort of suffering is necessary for the glory of what god has in store.

The blood is on god's hands, and what he has had in store for us so far has been heinous. In the old testament he had whole armies invade other territories and allowed to murder everyone in the family, and even allowed to take women agains their wishes. Imagine the horror of being invaded and having your family and cattle torn apart by Israel. God sent his spirit into Egypt to slay all the first born. Nice. There are many stories of the war loving god of the Old testament. That various 'sins' had to be atoned via the cutting up and burning of animals just seems so... messed up to begin with.

It's his universe and he can run it anyway he pleases. I would have rathered he'd have come up with a better plan to enable him to have people to play with, rather than the current one where countless millions have endured gross suffering and torturous grief for so long. I'll tip my hat to him in thanks for the fun I've had so far and hope that next week my own son isn't decapitated and used as a bloody puppet on a bus. If I'm really lucky maybe I won't spend eternity writhing in a hell he has designed to punish me forever for not believing in what I figure to be very much unbelievable as determined by the brain that he designed for me to think with in the first place.

Andrew Denton's "God on my side"

2008-08-08T20:20:00.004+10:00

"If God be for us, who can be against us?" (Romans 8:31) In a documentary that turns the Western gaze on Christian fundamentalism, Andrew DENTON explores faith and the place it can take true-believers, both personally and politically. He visits the 63rd National Religious Broadcasters Convention in Dallas, Texas and interviews a range of Christians, from the rigidly conservative to the surprisingly liberal.

Movie Review - Bill Maher's "Religulous"

2008-08-06T15:20:00.009+10:00

Via Aintitcoolnews.com: Now, before seeing this film, I must say that I thought I knew exactly what I was going to see: Larry Charles setting up incompetent people in ordinary situations, only to have them met by an relentless force (Bill Maher) that takes them out of their element and reduces them to bumbling idiots - a la “Borat”. Taking into account the trailers that I’d seen online, and the extended preview that Charles played last year at the festival (he is also a board member), I was absolutely certain that it would be a religious take on “Borat”. To my surprise, this was not the case. It was actually something much more, and at times far more serious than comical. Sure, the film does set people up in hopes that they will fall or dig themselves a grave. But on the contrary, Maher does not victimize anyone. In actuality, he affords everyone he speaks with the upper hand: their faith. In the end, many of them do fall, and in some cases pretty hard, which all provides for the comedy of the film. My personal favorite is a teen patron of Holyland who immediately jumps on the chance to compare the birth of Christ to Anakin Skywalker in Episode 1. Remarkably though, no matter how far Maher displaces these individuals from logical thought, all remain adamant that what they believe is right… no matter how silly it may seem even to themselves, or to the rest of the world.

Now before I get to my overall take on the film, I feel I must preface by stating my own beliefs, as I think most future reviewers of this film will intentionally or unknowingly do so. Perhaps it comes with the territory, or perhaps it’s because there is some sort of validity in balancing one’s reaction to his/her religious background. If this is the case, I’ll say that my own beliefs are a bit scattered. I was born and raised Catholic. Once I became a teen though, I immediately started distancing myself from the church as doubt (which all of us bear at some point) caused me to disagree with the faith. Today, I cannot consider myself a “believer” or “non-believer”. I simply feel that organization of religion merely gets in the way of what is important and that the messages which are meant to find us are often lost somewhere in the fine print. Now I don’t mean to preach, but in a sense, I am the very type of person that this film targets. Someone in between. That is, someone who is willing to criticize the absurdities of organized religion, but also someone unable to concede to a godless universe. What can I say? I have my doubts.

”Religulous” navigates this grey area of doubt quite well, and uses the fine print (which apparently no one really reads) merely as a starting point for conversation. What results from this conversation, are some pretty damn good questions that really all people should consider; of faith, or not. Oddly enough, not all these questions are necessarily confined to religion. Because of this, I feel ”Religulous” is a far more intelligent and balanced film than it presents itself to be.

It’s a “think piece”… in many ways. Granted, there are a few times where the balance gets lost by Maher, as he himself begins to preach. Nevertheless, he does a pretty good job at restraining himself when he needs to. He also does a damn good job at winding his subjects up. Of course, the true fun comes when he just sits back and lets them go. All in all, I must say that I really enjoyed the film. If you are like me and go into this film expecting another “Borat”, you are either going to get more or less than what you bargained for, all depending on your perspective of religion (obviously). I will also say though, that if you are looking to be offended, the odds are pretty good.

I guess you can call me a “believer”, because I really liked “Religulous”!

On a distracting side-note: After the screening, as Larry Charles began fielding questions from the audience, he noted that there are over 14 additional hours of refined footage of the film that may or may not be converted into a TV series (HBO?). However, he said it would all be dependent on how the film performs in its fall release. Perhaps as a joke, or to assert a personal prediction, Charles asked audience members to raise their hands if they were a “believer” of some form of religion. He then asked the “non-believers” to raise their hands. Surprisingly, there were more “believers” in the audience.

Amazing Movie Moments

2008-08-02T15:02:00.004+10:00

Hundreds of movies are made per year (not counting porn or Bollywood) and I hardly have the time to keep up with watching new ones seeing as my money and time are limited, plus there's too much quality tv sapping my viewing hours (do not debate me on this!). I wonder why I even spend so much time trying to burn and collect old movies. I haven't got time to watch them again! But there are puh-lenty of great movie moments that I'ld like to revisit. Perhaps I should do a collection of movie moments - sort of like a music collection.

You know how you put all the best mp3s on one CD. Most albums only have about 3 or 4 decent songs on them and many movies only have a few decent scenes. This would be my compilation of movie moments. This list is excluding horror movies... 'cause that's a whole other post:

My favourite Movie Moments

The final Crane kick in the Karate Kid
The scene where the Captain joins in with his kids in a verse of Eidlevies (sound of Music)
When William Wallace dies while yelling FREEDOM
Talledega Nights - Saying 'Grace' to baby Jesus
TDK Joker beaten up in the interrogation room
Rambo 2 - "Murdock... I'm coming to get you"
When the boy is reunited with his mother in Life is Beautiful
Indiana Jones simply shoots the sword wielding bad guy
Obi Wan screams, "You were meant to be the chosen one"
The Transporter's greasy floor fight
Robocop blows away the bad guy and is asked his name - "Murphy"
Bill Murray trying to kill himself in Groundhog Day
The T-rex attacks the tour car in Jurassic Park
Ramis and Murray's banter in the recruiting office - Stripes
"I'm innocent!" "I don't care!" - The Fugitive
"The truth is... I am... Iron-Man"
Street fight - Superman 2
Napolean Dynamite dance scene
Evil Dead 3 - Ash suits up and roars the chainsaw
Clock tower - Spiderman 2
Axel at strip show - Beverly Hills Cop
Forklift suit verses Alien queen - Aliens
Any scene in Sin City
The sword duel in The Princess Bride
The town meeting in Footloose

Very tempting to list mostly the final moments of a movie... those moments that lift your heart before the credits roll.

eg. When the essay is read out in The Breakfast Club or Dundee walks over the crowd's heads to get his girl...

The Breakfast Club - One of my favorite scenes is when John Bender is lecturing the rest on how belonging to a school club is rediculous and Brian timidly announces that he's in the physics club. When Bender asks him what it is that they do in the physics club, Brian replies "We study physics...and properties of physics."

Sinful Batmobile Lust

2008-07-27T22:52:00.010+10:00

I was observing a discussion in our forum today about fornication and I got stuck on the following quote from a christian fellow:

"It does not matter even if it was not a sexual act that was the result of lust, for example lusting after a sportscar, it is still the outcome of lust, then it is sin."

Lusting after cars is a sin now? Aww man, they've got a sin for everything! Luckily my old Camry isn't enticing any poor sods into damnation... Where's the line between longing, deep admiration and evil car lust? Lusting after the car in your heart is the same as actually having sex with the car.

Forgive me father for I have looked lustfully on the Batmobile. It seems I was guilty of 'lust' way before puberty 'cause I always longed for a big black bat car. I thought this forum comment was a good excuse to compile a series of Batmobile pictures to lust after. I'm told they're pretty phallic... if you're into black phallic things.

At age ten, the boy who could fly
His youthful look, his cheeky smile
the boy that would never die

So much opportunity ahead awaited
Heath's death was tragic and mysterious
His final role as the brooding clown who laughed
The Joker who asks, "Why so serious?"

- Peter Bainbridge (Moth) 2008

"I hate the way you're always right. I hate it when you lie. I hate it when you make me laugh - even worse when you make me cry. I hate it that you're not around. And the fact that you didnt call. But mostly I hate the way I don't hate you - not even close, not even a little bit, not any at all."
