So someone shared a link to this story on my Facebook page about Johnny Depp http://music.msn.com/music/article.aspx?news=687499&fb_ref=FB&fb_source=home_oneline
And then I see this part "Lee Douglas of The Christian Coalition adds, "I'm sure he thinks he's being very funny but he's simply a disgrace. One day, Johnny Depp and his cronies will face the judgment of our Lord and they will burn in hell for this filth.""
Now, I can't help but laugh at how utterly STUPID this comment is. I'm not just sure, I can pretty much guarantee that Johnny Depp thinks he's being funny and that's his entitlement to do so. If it makes fun of someone's assholish superhero, too damn bad! It's called freedom of speech, and while they enjoy it, they can't force their ideals on others that they don't like, it doesn't work that way.
"It is a slap in the face to Christians all over the world." And then this...I'm sorry...a simple song does not slap xians all over the world in the face...their own religion is a slap in the face to themselves as they come off as rather moronic in that regard.
Well, as hilarious as the hate groups are responding to the song, here's the best rendition of lyrics as listed by people who've listened (there are no official lyrics I've seen so far)
Saw a man in a bar with his hair like a lady
Bloody thorns 'round his ears like he was a crazy
He had holes in his hands and a cross for a spine
Crushed a berry in his Perrier and called it wine
He said, "There's great sadness in life, but don't sit there and blub:
Here's some tickets for your friends to the Jesus Stag Night Club!"
I can't remember where I was last night
Think I was hanging naked off a church spire
Tied by my ankles to a weathervane
Felt like I was Jesus on fire
Cuffed to the bumper of a big truck
I begged my dad (?) to take me to a strip bar
Drank kerosene slammers through my eyeballs
Drove myself home in a stolen car
Turn a bird upside down and it lies in your fingers like a dead man
When you throw it in the air it's resurrected from your hand
We went to a motel, he showed me his Bible
I said, "Tell me the truth," while he looked me in the eyeball
He said, "There's great happiness in life but don't just sit there in love:
Here's some tickets for your friends to the Jesus Stag Night Club!"
I can't remember where I was last night
Think I was getting on a night bus
Lyin' on the laps of my good friends
Judas Priest and Lazarus
I'm getting married in the big bad morning
But it feels like I'm giving birth
I feel so happy I could scream
"This is my last few seconds on Earth"
Saw a man in the street lying on the floor beaten up
He had a fish finger sandwich and a yellow-handled (?) coffee cup
I bent down drunk and tried to pick him up
But when I turned around I could see...it was Jesus...
I can't remember where I was last night
Think I was hanging on a church spire
Tied by my ankles to a weathervane
Felt like I was Jesus on fire
Cuffed to the bumper of a big truck
I begged my dad (?) to take me to a strip bar
Drank kerosene slammers through my eyeballs
Drove myself home in a stolen car
I can't remember where I was last night
Think I was getting on a night bus
Lyin' on the laps of my good friends
Judas Priest and Lazarus
I'm getting married in the big bad morning
But it feels like I'm giving birth
I feel so happy I could scream
"This is my last few seconds on Earth!"
Who I am
- Sakura
- I am an atheist, in fact, I describe myself as a Humanist for I believe in the good in people, not mythical beings.
Places to avoid
This is a section for establishments that openly promote religion:
National Chains
Chick-fil-a
In-n-Out Burger
Alaska Airlines (include bible quotes with meals)
Forever 21 (puts John 3:16 on their tags)
Country Bob's sauces (look who the CEO is)
Edwards frozen pies (bible verse on pie tin)
Desert Essence (beauty products)
Estes (aquarium stones)
Food for Life (baked goods)
Brim's Old South (chips and the like)
Daniel Chapter One (look at the mission statement at the bottom)
Curves (gyms, leaves bibles in workout areas)
Aldi Foods (has buybull verses on the inside of egg cartons)
Local
Megaplex Theatres* Utah
Carter Brothers Bar-B-Que North Carolina
Franchises (companies who don't seem to be religiously affiliated but might have franchisees who do)
Subway
If you know of any others, please send me a message giving me the name of the company and if possible a link to the company's website showing that they promote religious ideas.
For example http://www.incrediblepizza.com/about.php If you look at bullet number 3 under the mission statement. "We operate our business by Christian principles". The alternate of this would be if they have a religious symbol on their products and/or building. In the case of the pizza company, they have the jebus fish on the doors as you walk in.
I have to give credit to the religutards over at http://www.prophecyfellowship.org/archive/index.php/t-147138.html who posted most of these for me to find so easily!
*Megaplex Theatres is owned by the Larry H Miller Corp who gives 10% of their earnings to the LDS church
If you have the name and possibly a website of a company who proseltyzies a religion and would like me to add it, please comment on this post: http://yamipirogoeth.blogspot.com/2010/07/places-to-avoid.html

10 Myths about Atheists Part 2
Atheists are just angry with God.
I actually have 2 thoughts regarding this statement.
First is the logical fallacy that's in action here. How can someone who doesn't believe in god/s be angry at something that's non-existent? That's like saying that you're mad at the air...or the pink unicorn...or the flying spaghetti monster...you just can't be mad at something that isn't there.
Second, I don't know (and they are mostly online and read what they've said and a few in person) a single atheist who has EVER claimed to be an atheist simply because they were "mad with god". I'm sure of this for 2 reasons, one of them is the first part of this post, the second is that they have looked at religion and realized that it is full of logical fallacies, unsupported literature, and a lack of evidence that has driven them to the decision to be an atheist. It's not something based on faith, it's something based on observable evidence and religion has none of that, particularly outside of it's related dogmatic texts.
So why do theists say that "atheists are mad at god and that's why they're atheists!!" (just picture someone putting their fingers in their ears, closing their eyes and yelling that at the top of their lungs)?
Simply put, they don't take the time to actually talk to an atheist, they just regurgitate the same bogus information that has been fed to them since they were young by their parents, their religious leader, and even their neighborhood sometimes. I can guarantee them, that if they took the time to speak to several atheists (not one, cause one person does NOT represent an entire demographic) they would see that they have been given disinformation for years and years.
