The Funny Side of Religion

Hire a plane and fill it with fifty hairy men and tell 'em to rock back and forth while blowing into a hooter made from bits of a dead sheep.

Pff, they didn't even whip out the "Swine Flew" gag.

If there's a hi-res photo around, then there's got to be room for one of our regular jewish caption competitions. That guy on the blower at the back of the plane, opposite the guy with the jittery head, hmmm... they gotta be saying something good.

There is a picture on richarddawkins.net that may suit, not exactly the shot you want, but it seems to be pretty good quality and should make for some good captions

Thats a million times better than the stump.
Is that a little bit of 'her blessing' I see at the top?

Grandma is eighty-eight years old and still drives her own car.

She writes:

Dear Grand-son,

The other day I went up to our local Christian book store and saw a
'Honk if you love Jesus' bumper sticker ..

I was feeling particularly sassy that day because I had just come from a
thrilling choir performance, followed by a thunderous prayer meeting..

So, I bought the sticker and put it on my bumper.

Boy, am I glad I did; what an uplifting experience that followed.

I was stopped at a red light at a busy intersection, just lost in
thought about the Lord and how good he is, and I didn't notice that the
light had changed.

It is a good thing someone else loves Jesus because if he hadn't
honked, I'd never have noticed.

I found that lots of people love Jesus!

While I was sitting there, the guy behind started honking like crazy,
and then he leaned out of his window and screamed, 'For the love of
God!'

'Go! Go! Go! Jesus Christ, GO!'

What an exuberant cheerleader he was for Jesus!

Everyone started honking!

I just leaned out my window and started waving and smiling at all those
loving people.

I even honked my horn a few times to share in the love!

There must have been a man from Florida back there because I heard him
yelling something about a sunny beach.

I saw another guy waving in a funny way with only his middle finger
stuck up in the air.

I asked my young teenage grandson in the back seat what that meant.

He said it was probably a Hawaiian good luck sign or something..

Well, I have never met anyone from Hawaii , so I leaned out the window
and gave him the good luck sign right back.

My grandson burst out laughing.

Why even he was enjoying this religious experience!!

A couple of the people were so caught up in the joy of the moment that
they got out of their cars and started walking towards me.

I bet they wanted to pray or ask what church I attended, but this is
when I noticed the light had changed.

So, grinning, I waved at all my brothers and sisters, and drove on
through the intersection.

I noticed that I was the only car that got through the intersection
before the light changed again and felt kind of sad that I had to leave
them after all the love we had shared.

So I slowed the car down, leaned out the window and gave them all the
Hawaiian good luck sign one last time as I drove away. Praise the Lord
for such wonderful folks!!

Will write again soon,

Love, Grandma

What disturbs me is that I can't tell if the following video is a piss take or not... maybe it should be in the hazards thread... Poe's Law strikes again

I didn't embed the video becasue frankly ... it's painful... I'm pretty sure it's meant to be a joke ...

i'd be sure is man thats just down right racist at times and she's like 11

That is absolutely priceless.

"I had two friends over, one normal, one Indian..."

It just gets better from there. So..much..better...

Here's a few comments people left on her page:

I hate everything that you are

you are everything that is wrong with america. please tell me this is fake.

She seems too young and they all seem too shy on the camera for this to be a troll.

EDIT: Hmm, that rice thing at the end seemed a little forced, I'm leaning towards it being a troll.

Read the description:

p.s. there have been a lot of people wondering whether this video is real or not. i will say that it is as real as God

Zillah

But, that doesn't necessarily tell us anything! Granted, I think it's probably a hint towards it being satire but still. I can clearly imagine a sanctimonious Christian stating something like that with absolute honesty.

Yeah, ok...one of the tags is http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Henry_Fielding

Ah that's definitely fake. It's so staged. "It's like an African country in Asia. Do you feel African or Asian."

Nah.

And one of her favourite videos is this:

that's some dark "humour" right there, fair point though.

And if you think the characters are unbelievable - just wait for the plot twists. For about 90% of the book the main character is a homocidal, racist meglomaniac, guiding his "chosen people" through endless slaughters of opposing tribes, and of each other when people don't obey his "rules". Think Patrick Bateman on crack. Then, with only a New testament to go, and just as I was enjoying the action - suddenly he becomes all touchy feely! Why oh why writers feel they *have* to put in implausible plot twists, I just don't know! And please, don't get me started on the end - when it goes all Stanley Kubrick! Sure, I understand it's fantasy as a genre - but come on, does it have to go against so much mainstream science?
