The Pot Calling The Kettle...

According to WorldNetDaily, the 7th Circuit Court of Appeals has ruled that Atheism is a religion.

OK, let's go to the dictionary for a ruling on that one.

re·li·gion
A cause, principle, or activity pursued with zeal or conscientious devotion.

Hey, folks, looks like we just might have a match! Boy, that'll throw a kink into all those "freedom from religion" lawsuits now won't it? If they throw out the Ten Commandments, then they are endorsing Athesim, which, according to the 7th Circuit, is a religion. But Government can't endorse religion. So they have to bring back the Ten Commandments. But then they endorse the Christian religion...

That's going to give someone a headache. I only hope it's an ACLU lawyer.

1 I've got dibs on "First Church of Nuclear Physics of Our Lady of the Big Bang". Wait, that didn't sound right. Maybe I should leave out the last part, otherwise people will think that Madonna is somehow involved. Instead of the Ten Commandments, we'll post the Laws of Physics, and instead of the Bible, we'll compile selected writings from Sagan and Hawking, and instead of the cross, we'll use the sign of the atom. There will be no Kool-Aid. Okay, now all I need to do is figure out a way to sucker people out of their money and I'll be in business. I know, a miracle is what I need! Let's see: Nuclear power had been done. Heavier than air flight is old hat. Wireless communications is taken for granted. Hmmm... it looks like all the good miracles of science are already taken, and I don't have the money for research. Well, I can always tell people that I can walk on water and raise the dead, and whenever they ask for a demonstration, I'll chastise them for doubting me. Hey, it's worked before.

2 You can always try faith-healing - just jazz it up with a new name say - Cosmic Enthropic Trans-Divergent Molecular Energy Tranference - get some nice crystals, maybe a lava lamp, a mail-order Degree (hell! make up your own) and your in business! Keep God, Geia, Jahoveh, Big Mo or anyone or thing out of it and you can probably get it covered by Blue Cross.

3 I'll need a big silly hat.

4 Shit! Seems like you can't get away from anything. Looks like I kill you in the name of God is here to stay.

5 Greyrooster, Where have you been? And is DSM stalking you? Ha, that'll be the day, pilgrim. LOL!

6 Maxie Screw the hat - maybe try dreadlocks?

7 Dreads you say? Well, I can do a wafro, since my hair's naturally curly, but I keep my head fuzzy so people will think I'm a skinhead and not bother me. I think a big hat with lots of sparklies on it will do. And a robe. I'll definitely need a robe. And a cape.

Posted by: Improbulus Maximus at September 28, 2005 06:47 PM (0yYS2)

8 Maximus, Would that be a red, white, and blue cape you are looking for? I think Superman recently passed away, and I'm telling you that we need a new one. Heh!

9 With a name like Reverend Pixy of the Church of the Holy Otter, you have the audacity to call something stupid. Uh, Pixy, refer to the title of the post. Kettle, Pot, Black. You figure it out, genius.

11 Oops, that was me. Or I was it. Or something.

12 My apologies, Ms. or Rev. Pixy and all you holy otters out there. I mistook you for a troll. You playful otters sure can fool a guy.

Posted by: jesusland joe at September 28, 2005 09:00 PM (rUyw4)

13 I'm a genuine Reverend, though. I have a piece of paper that says so! I can officiate at weddings and stuff like that.

14 And my URL was munged. O unhappy day.

15 So does that mean that Christian Red Sox fans serve two gods? Oh, right. For that logic to work, you'd have to use an obscure definition of the word religion. How ingenious. What does that say about wingnuts?

16 What's a wingnut?

17 Please don't over generalize. None of the atheists that I know personally consider their atheism "A cause, principle, or activity pursued with zeal or conscientious devotion". It's just our belief and most of us don't really think what we believe is all that important anyway.

Posted by: Doug Purdie at September 29, 2005 04:25 PM (00DOn)

18 Fair enough. I don't personally know any atheists, so I can't say. But then again, I know a lot of Christians who don't pursue their cause principle or belief with much zeal.

19 I'm an atheist because I read pretty much major religious text ever written, went to dozens of different religious organizations, and sipped everyone's Kool-Aid at one time or another, and while sitting in quiet contemplation one day, musing on the Big Question, a single word popped into my mind: "Bullshit". I know a lot of religious people will be offended, but hey, if someone wants to have the right to tell me I'm going to be punished for eternity for having done nothing, then I have the right to say "bullshit". Besides, with even a little knowledge of biology, chemistry, and nuclear physics, it's not hard to explain things without resorting to the supernatural.

20 I sent the tracker on a mission to find Downing Street Moron. No report back yet. Decided to answer his faggot threats. The tracker is the brotherhoods best computer geek. He will find him. DS Morons putrid personality won't let him disappear for long. I'm busy right now. Helping the proud Knights who many lost much. They are not begging de govment but standing like real men. My E-mail is going crazy. Believe me the brotherhood is taking care of its own. A brother in Iowa is sending a new tractor to another brother in Mississippi. Took me less than an hour to find another brother who will pick it up and deliver it. He wouldn't even accept money for his fuel. When the community sees our conmittment to those to deserve assistance they will see who really cares about the average American. I'll let the young bucks have their fun and handle DS Moron. Due to the turmoil caused by Katrina and Rita opportunities have risen. Depts have been settled. More will be settled. By the way the New Orleans police dept is the most corrupt, incompetent bunch of racists idiots in the history of copdom. I hear they got rid of the police chief for having his hand in the cookie jar but are hiding the facts. But never worry. They will replace him with another incompetent black whose only qualification is that he is black. As they have done with every other post in the city. The educational system is so poorly run that the state is threatening to take over the school system. This was before Katrina. Did you know that almost every black judge in New Orleans is under federal investigation for corruption, bribery, etc: If the world was shaped like a pig Orleans parrish would be the asshole. Feel sorry for the people who deserve it. But to not feel sorry for the corrupt administators and local all black government who steal from their own kind. Perhaps something good can come of this.

21 Tracker? Go flog yourself with a wampum, Klannie. REAL Brothers gonna work it out all over the country through courts, not in front of pointy-headed whackjobs doing the conga swing polka. DSM never threatened you and Jesushallucination is eggin' your addled mind on. Your Oak Tree is knocked down by the wrath of God so you can't hang anyone else. Your rage-in-a-cage feeling has got your hamster wheel spinning backwards. Lay off the booze and stop fighting America, Psycho!

22 DSM, I never said you threatened him, I told Greyrooster that you told me you were going to Picayune, Ms. on a recon mission. You said that on a thread here on the Jawa Report. Do I need to go back and search for it in a comments thread?

23 A few years ago during the VIETNAM WAR we had some nut case living in our northern calfornia community who was going to protest the war by going up on MT SHASTA but the idiot did,nt know that the weather on these big moutians can change he was up there for maybe a few months this nut dont know anything about moutians including VOLCANOS

24 DOWNING STREET MORON: More for my country than for me. I'm sure you understand. My country is at war and you support the enemy. You have the potential to cause harm to the soldiers I care for so much. I will die for my cause. Will you? Soon asshole, soon.
