Bloggers live to be quoted and linked to. Bring it on. Being linked to is like getting laid, except better, because it doesn’t give you an STI.

Great blog post,

Question for you. I would like to write a short plug for your post on my site and use 5 lines from your piece to illustrate. It will be fully referenced and a link to your post will be included.

Would you mind?

** When the plains of Iraq were the whole world **

The epic of Gilgamesh is Sumerian. Earliest sources are 4,000+ years old. It is an epic far older than jewish mythology. In it the supposed universal flood gets recounted by Utnapishtim an ark builder and obvious ancestor of Noah.

The myths and hymns of Sumer’s great goddess Inanna (Queen of Heaven and Earth, First Daughter of the Moon, Morning and Evening Star) are at least as old as Gilgamesh. And, her existence can be defended by the same sophistical pseudo-arguments of contemporary or ancient apologetics.

But, she combines the warlike nature of Ares with the silky sexuality of Aphrodite! Watch out Yahweh, God, and Allah, Inanna will kick your ass!

As for jews, xians and moslems who cares? Nothing of any significance turns on their copycat beliefs.

Truth is never an issue — social and individual psychology explain their delusions.

“Divine inspiration” — that is so risible!

Ms. Nour Hadad, 26, was arrested in Orland Park, Ill., in April and charged with (and, according to police, confessed to) beating her 2-year-old niece to death while baby-sitting, and, as usual, police publicly released her booking photograph. However, Hadad’s husband, Alaeddin, immediately complained that her photo, without her head scarf, was an “insult” to Islam. Said a Muslim activist, “They should respect the modesty of the accused.” [Southtown Star (Chicago), 4-10-09] -Thanks the The News of the Weird.

… I am seriously tempted to follow everything in this post to the letter, if only because some people just won’t FUCKING LISTEN TO REASON. It’s a sad, sad, sad, sad world out there.

Regarding video: this post + Yahtzee’s uber fast machine gun voice and ZP figures = INSTA-WIN.

Regarding French government: HOLY CRAP. I am SO moving to France, liek, naow.

Regarding US and religion: I never realized how messed up this country is with regards to religion up until I moved here and people started blessing me when I sneeze. Oh hell, that actually doesn’t bother me, I mean, compared to people who kill doctors because they help women to get rid of clusters of cells that are alive only in the sense that amoeba are alive. Actually, scratch that, I meant cells that are LESS alive than amoeba. Urgh.

That aside, I would love to see videos with these posts, because I feel that this message should be reaching all theists everywhere and Youtube videos would be much more effective because of reasons already mentioned above.

I will now be leaving you to practice my new overly-sensitive atheist whine.

well said. I am an agnostic, but nonetheless i would love it if people stopped blessing me every single time i sneezed. Thats just one of my major pet peeves.

Oh yeah and America’s politics are so screwed up. In CA voters did away with Mountain Lion control. Their liberal minds couldn’t bear the thought of a dead kitty cat. Be careful while hiking. A hungry kitty cat might have you for dinner in its over populated environment. Dead person or dead Cat? pretty obvious, fuck people save the kitties. The very large, hungry, man eating kitties.

But I agree, this could be made into a decent Youtube video. I am currently working on a Youtube video about alternative medicine, though, so as soon as I figure out whether that is feasible it could be possible that you might be seeing videos along with these posts.
