Oh, the Silly, Silly Christians

A website for christians that sends emails to their heathen friends explaining what has happened and given them (us) one more chance to pull their (our) heads out of their (our) asses before we burn. From the website:

We have set up a system to send documents by the email, to the addresses you provide, 6 days after the “Rapture” of the Church. This occurs when 3 of our 5 team members scattered around the U.S fail to log in over a 3 day period. Another 3 days are given to fail safe any false triggering of the system.

We give you 150mb of encrypted storage that can be sent to 12 possible email addresses, in Box #1. You up load any documents and choose which documents go to who. You can edit these documents at any time and change the addresses they will be sent to as needed. Box #1 is for your personal private letters to your closest lost friends and relatives.

Ok, here’s some important things:

If you think that I’m going to burn in hell for eternity just because I don’t think like you that makes you an asshole and I despise you. I don’t want your emails and I’ll be glad you’re gone. Ooooh. Wait a minute! Unless the “documents” in the “encrypted storage” are the deeds to all of your churches where my friends and I could outfit with cool modern design furniture and have hip, swanky cocktail parties.

Actually, the rapture is a totally awesome idea.

IQ vs. Biblical Literalism

Are those who believe a in a literal interpretation of the bible stupider than those who don’t? Don’t start arguing with me either. My IQ is high enough to know better than to take IQ scores seriously but it’s so fun to see the chart.

Soppy and Bitchy

Christopher Hitchens in a debate with Andrew Sullivan on Tim Russert’s MSNBC program:


“I just think that if she knew how it made her look, sort of alternately soppy and bitchy, she’d stop it. But she can’t help herself, can she? She just can’t.”

He also called Sullivan a lesbian. Apparently some people are all worked up about the lesbian thing and the soppy and bitchy thing is just icing on the cake. Sullivan thinks the whole thing is silly.
