fallen verses

Complain loudly enough, and the mountain will move for you (via Poetry Hut Blog).

Or, if not mountains, you can squelch free speech and artistic expression that does not match with your iron-age belief system. Maybe it’s just me, but it seems the “moderate christians” should be with the people standing up against this. If that group wants to play in the modern world, they need to invigorate the Jesus 3.0. The 1.0 guy has been dead for a long time, the 2.0 guy is a bigot and needs to shut up. Jesus 3.0 is the opportunity to look for the positive things faith can add to the world (if you believe there are any), rather than the fear and intolerance bandied about by the vocally religious.

Just when you think the world maybe has a chance, you keep seeing stuff like this. Makes me sad.

A particularly vile islamic creationsist, “said to be responsible for blocking all Wordpress.com blogs in Turkey, in an attempt to block critics from posting on their blogs. He has also been accused of pedophile acts, blackmail and slander, and leading a sect under the guise of the Science Research Foundation which he heads.”

Wordpress has a couple of posts about this. PZ Myers has a post on this, and has commented about this nutjob before.

Ed Darrell has a pretty good post on this too.

Comedy + Religion = ? (Well, I like it anyway)  It’s hiding below the fold. (more…)

Welcome to WordPress.com. This is your first post. Edit or delete it and start blogging!

Edit: Well, “Hello!” to anyone who reads this. This is a quick edit to the default comment which will be a quick repost of what will be my last post from my myspace blog. Over here, I pretty much want to continue the themes of random coolness and poetry. More to come later.

Haven’t been doing much writing recently, so here’s a quick post with some general cool stuff.

I love the sandwich analogy. Another good one is “if atheism is a religion, ‘off’ is a TV channel”.

Hopefully, I’ll be back with some fresh verses soon.
