A very loud, unattractive, hard-faced woman walks into Kmart with her two kids in tow, screaming obscenities at them all the way through the entrance.
The door greeter says, "Good morning and welcome to Kmart, nice children you've got there. Are they twins?" The fat ugly woman stops screaming long enough to snarl: "Of course they bloody aren't! The oldest is nine and the youngest is seven. Why the hell would you think they're twins?..... Do you really think they look alike, you d*ckhead?" "Absolutely not," replies the greeter, "I just can't believe anyone would shag you twice!"

P.Dalziel;547091']A clip from a tv show about tv shows explaining why all reality tv such as big brother is bullshit - also pretty funny if you like british humour
[video]BBwepkVurCI[/video] That Charlie Brooker is pretty good fun to watch. Did you watch any of the other ones that are available? This was a cracker. [video]8TTtPMy-7RY[/video]

Cover Story: Is God Good?, page 33-36
New Scientist magazine, No 2619 1 September 2007
The whole article is quite interesting, but I thought of this thread when I read these 2 sections. Definitely worth a read if you get a chance.
Any comments? I read that article as well. There are contradictory studies thoughout it (Paul, 2005, on one hand and Jensen from Vanderbilt on the other are just 2 of the examples). They tried very hard to sit on the fence without judging either side too hard. Especially the final paragraph. Even if many no longer need religion for social cohesion or moral guidance, and we think that atheism is the only rational route, we should nevertheless recognise that religion has had a pivotal role in our evolutionary history. It can still reinforce moral values and work with our inate moral sense. It can also be used to justify immoral behaviour towards those who do not embrace our beliefs. Kile is or not, religion remains an important part of who we are. It does not actually say the religious people are right, or that the atheists are right. It says that religion can be a force for good or evil, but that a person's own personal values will determine which way they will behave. Helen Phillips (who wrote it) went to a lot of trouble to try not to show where she stands (although that comment about "we think that atheism is the only rational route" comment did give her away). This was actually refreshing as many from either side love to twist things one way or another. However, if you are looking for answers in that article, you'll be disappointed. All you'll get is arguments from both sides and be left to make up your own mind.

Little Mary wasnt the best student at sunday school, she usually fell asleep...
One day, as Mary was sleeping, the teacher asked her a question, "Who created the heavens and the earth?"
Johnny, a little boy sitty behind her, pulled out a pin and jabbed her up the rear, "GOD ALMIGHTY" said Mary, 'Well Done", said the teacher, and Mary fell back to sleep...
Then the teacher asked her a second question, "Who died on the cross to save all of our sins?", Little Johnny, Jabbed her in the ass again, "JESUS CHRIST", yelped Mary, "Well done" said the teacher, and Mary fell back to sleep...
Then the teacher asked a third question, "What did Eve say to Adam after they had thier 23rd child?" once again, Johnny shoved the pin into her butt, but this time, Mary got up and screamed, "IF YOU STICK THAT DAMN THING IN ME ONE MORE TIME I'LL SNAP IT IN HALF"
the teacher fainted...

Three explorers, John, Jack and Bob were walking in a jungle when a tribe of cannibals captures them. They are brought to the leader of the tribe.
He tells them, "I will let you guys go if you can go get ten pieces of the same fruit from the jungle, and come back."
The first guy, John comes back, holding 10 oranges. The leader of the tribe tells him to shove them all up his ass without making a sound before he is to be set free.
He starts to shove one of the oranges up, but halfway through, he shrieks in pain and is killed by the tribe.
Jack comes back about 5 minutes later, holding 10 grapes. The leader tells him to do the same thing as John.
He gets started, and shoves 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8 grapes up, and without warning, he bursts into laughter. He is also killed.
In heaven, Jack and John meet. John says, "Dude! you were so close to getting 10, there were only 2 more! Why did you start laughing?"
"Well, just as I bent over, I saw Bob coming back with 10 pineapples!"

I think its more church blaming going on than god blaming You make a good point there actually. God Himself/Herself is most likely not to blame for many of the worlds woes. The church though has a lot of blood on its' hands (no matter which religion you choose with the possible exception of Budhism, but feel free to correct me there). And the church is basically humans interpreting things to how they want it to be. There is a huge difference between believing in God and believing in the church. Some people just don't realise it. Having said that, that doesn't mean that all church goers are evil, just that there are bad people everywhere, including people who profess to be be God-fearing.

That woman is fucked in the head. Who did that to her? Was it her religion? 1 - Yes she is. 2 - Look at her, she has to find something to believe in as she appears to have lost belief in herself. This can then manifest itself in extreme narcissism and self-loathing at the same time. 3 - She said something about the Catholic Church, but generally that sort of behaviour is found in more of the fringe Christian sects. And yet, why am I not surprised to hear a southern drawl. I feel sorry for the kids mostly, but interesting to see that some of the money went to two of them leaving to find their own place. Just as well really.

Interesting theory, but unlikely to be proven. The difficulty is, space and time are inextricably linked, meaning if there was no space, there was no time. That would then make the meaning of "before" rather irrelevant.

A scientist dies and goes to heaven. Somewhat surprised there is an afterlife (he was a scientist afterall), but relieved he ended up in the right place, he decides to catch up with God.
"Hey God" he starts. "Creating Eve was pretty nifty work, but let's face it, you used Adams' rib so you already had a DNA sample. A tweak here, and adjustment there, and you would have a woman."
"GLAD YOU APPROVE" God replies. (note, capitals to show force of presence, not shouting)
Feeling a little encouraged that he hadn't been chastized for what he thought might be considered blasphemous, he goes on.
"Let's be honest, even creating Adam out of dirt was nifty, but hardly impossible. I mean, we can do that now as well you know."
"REALLY?" God asks.
"Yeah, we can create humans from dirt as well" the scientist tells Him.
"OK THEN, GO FOR IT. SHOW ME".
The scientist say "Sure", bends down and grabs some dirt.
"OI! GET YOUR OWN DIRT!."
PS - Baldy, that centipede joke is priceless. Would rep you if I could, but I gotta spread the love around some more first.

A woman is not feeling well so she goes to the doctors. He examines her and orders a battery of tests as he is stumped.
Next day she goes back for the test results with her husband there for support.
"Well. I'm afraid it's bad news. We are still awaiting one more result back and that isn't due for another 2 weeks, but it is either AIDS or Alzheimers".
The woman and her husband leave, feeling quite distraught and anxious about what it will end up being. The doctor calls the husband back into his office.
"Look, there is one way you can find out rather than wait for the results to come in." he says.
"Really?" replies the husband "How?"
"Drive her way out into the forrest and leave her there. If she makes it back home, don't fuck her".
