The Mormon Articles of Faith ~~ The TRUTH Revealed ~~
Growing up LSD I was force fed these and made to memorize them so that I could have a "testimony" (forced belief) that the church was 'true' and that Joe Smith was really a prophet of god. I have been thinking about this recently and thought I would share the CORRECTED (Actually what they are) Articles of forced belief with you. The corrections are noted with an 'a'.
Keep in mind, this is MY interpretation, NOT someone Else's:
1 - We believe in God, the Eternal Father, and in His Son, Jesus Christ, and in the Holy Ghost.
1a - We believe in a sky daddy with no proof of existence, that is abusive and forces us to give 10% of our money to the corporation.
2 - We believe that men will be punished for their own sins, and not for Adam’s transgression.
2a - We firmly hold to the belief that we will be punished for our own sins and not for Adam eating an apple with his hottie girlfriend Eve.
3 - We believe that through the Atonement of Christ, all mankind may be saved, by obedience to the laws and ordinances of the Gospel.
3a- A hippy died so that we can be saved from a hell that doesn't exist and we MUST pay our 10% and memorize our secret handshakes in the 'temple club' to get into heaven.
4 - We believe that the first principles and ordinances of the Gospel are: first, Faith in the Lord Jesus Christ; second, Repentance; third, Baptism by immersion for the remission of sins; fourth, Laying on of hands for the gift of the Holy Ghost.
4a- We believe that you must have a faith in a fairy tale, saying I'm sorry to sky daddy when we sin as well as telling our bishops all our dirty laundry for his amusement, dunking our children at 8 years old so that they are now forced members in this insanity and then that you need some old dude to tell you, that you NOW can know right from wrong because he blessed you so.
5 - We believe that a man must be called of God, by prophecy, and by the laying on of hands by those who are in authority, to preach the Gospel and administer in the ordinances thereof.
5a - We believe that even when the person who is called is molesting children and stealing from the members of the congregation that he was still called by 'god'. Even if this called person commits horrible acts, he was called by 'god'.
6 - We believe in the same organization that existed in the Primitive Church, namely, apostles, prophets, pastors, teachers, evangelists, and so forth.
6a - Much like any corporation we have an organizational structure primarily for the perpetuation of our myths and the collection of funds to benefit the corporation as a whole with one exception: the shareholders (members) have no say in it.
7 - We believe in the gift of tongues, prophecy, revelation, visions, healing, interpretation of tongues, and so forth.
7a - This is especially true with our child molesting leaders as they 'translate/interperet' their tongues on children often. Also, visions of no earrings and silly dress code rules are common.
8 - We believe the Bible to be the word of God as far as it is translated correctly; we also believe the Book of Mormon to be the word of God.
8a - By 'translated correctly' we mean to benefit OUR dogma. The book of Mormon is the word of god if god was in Joe Smith's imagination. (see dead sea scrolls, urum and thummum etc.,)
9 - We believe all that God has revealed, all that He does now reveal, and we believe that He will yet reveal many great and important things pertaining to the Kingdom of God.
9a - We believe that god takes the time to tell our members how to dress, what underwear to wear and when to scrub the toilets on Saturdays, because THAT is what god reveals.
10 - We believe in the literal gathering of Israel and in the restoration of the Ten Tribes; that Zion (the New Jerusalem) will be built upon the American continent; that Christ will reign personally upon the earth; and, that the earth will be renewed and receive its paradisaical glory.
10a - We have NO understanding of geography, science or archeology. We simply believe these fantastical things because Joe Smith said so.
11 - We claim the privilege of worshiping Almighty God according to the dictates of our own conscience, and allow all men the same privilege, let them worship how, where, or what they may.
11a - We made up our own religion so Nyaaa, nyaa!
12 - We believe in being subject to kings, presidents, rulers, and magistrates, in obeying, honoring, and sustaining the law.
12a - Entertaining especially as it relates to polygamy and Brigham Young's attempt to secede from the Union.
13 - We believe in being honest, true, chaste, benevolent, virtuous, and in doing good to all men; indeed, we may say that we follow the admonition of Paul-We believe all things, we hope all things, we have endured many things, and hope to be able to endure all things. If there is anything virtuous, lovely, or of good report or praiseworthy, we seek after these things.
13a - This is great, except Joe Smith DIDN'T follow this one! Chasing after other guys wives, ordering 'hits' on presidential candidates etc., I guess doing good to all men is only valid if those men are either believers or beneficial to the corporations cause.
I hope you found this entertaining, I did.

"Faith inducing" Bible Passages
I got to thinking what passages in the bible would cause one to really have "faith" in our favorite 'sky daddy' and the work that was completed in his name by our iron and bronze age goat herders. I couldn't honestly find a ton of really inspirational passages as they all seem to lead down the same dark road. I did find a few that I think are thought provoking and if the Xian fundamentalist actually took the time to THINK about them, may consider altering his/her position on the subject entirely.
Without further ado, here goes:
"I do not permit a woman to teach or to have authority over a man. She must be quiet." (1 Timothy 2:12)
"Go, now, attack Amalek, and deal with him and all that he has under the ban. Do not spare him, but kill men and women, children and infants, oxen and sheep, camels and asses." (1 Samuel 15:3)
"You shall not let a sorceress live." (Exodus 22:18)
"Happy those who seize your children and smash them against a rock." (Psalm 137:9)
"When the men would not listen to his host, the husband seized his concubine and thrust her outside to them. They had relations with her and abused her all night until the following dawn, when they let her go. Then at daybreak the woman came and collapsed at the entrance of the house in which her husband was a guest, where she lay until the morning. When her husband rose that day and opened the door of the house to start out again on his journey, there lay the woman, his concubine, at the entrance of the house with her hands on the threshold. He said to her, 'Come, let us go'; but there was no answer. So the man placed her on an ass and started out again for home." (Judges 19:25-28)
"And the males likewise gave up natural relations with females and burned with lust for one another. Males did shameful things with males and thus received in their own persons the due penalty for their perversity." (Romans 1:27)
"Jephthah made a vow to the Lord. 'If you deliver the Ammonites into my power,' he said, 'whoever comes out of the doors of my house to meet me when I return in triumph from the Ammonites shall belong to the Lord. I shall offer him up as a holocaust.' ... When Jephthah returned to his house in Mizpah, it was his daughter who came forth, playing the tambourines and dancing. She was an only child: he had neither son nor daughter besides her. When he saw her, he rent his garments and said, 'Alas, daughter, you have struck me down and brought calamity upon me. For I have made a vow to the Lord and I cannot retract'." (Judges 11:30-1, 34-5)
"Then God said: 'Take your son Isaac, your only one, whom you love, and go to the land of Moriah. There you shall offer him up as a holocaust on a height that I will point out to you'."(Genesis 22:2)
"Wives should be subordinate to their husbands as to the Lord." (Ephesians 5:22)
"Slaves, be subject to your masters with all reverence, not only to those who are good and equitable but also to those who are perverse." (1 Peter 2:18) Interesting aren't they? Get ya thinking a bit? It should....

Horrible examples of christian propaganda
I won't take credit for this one, it was published on Pleated Jeans.com It is funny though and thought I would share it here. Most of these are very disturbing, unless of course you are a crazy fucking fundamentalist that finds this stuff legitimate.
And finally....something that really shows you what the idiot fundamentalists REALLY Believe!
These sickos spread this garbage everywhere and fell justified in doing it, since they are doing GAWDS work right? If I went round posting these signs etc., regarding xians, they would sat that I am persecuting THEM!
Fuck you fundamentalists.

Christian Mingle Dating website
If you watch T.V. at all you have probably seen the advertisements for Christian mingle.com where "you can find gods' match for you". Every time I see this commercial I have to laugh. I have even lost my coffee out my nose once when I saw it.
Seriously? Gawd will PERSONALLY match you with someone you can spend you life with? That is what the all powerful supreme is up to now adays? Matching desperate losers with potential mates to propagate the species? I didn't know gawd was into web development and dating sites.
This brings up a few questions that I must now ask:
1 - the supreme creator of the universe actually cares who you date?
2 - If the SC cares who you date, why wasn't that something listed in the buybull?
3 - Why wasn't there at least one reference to www.christianmingle.com anywhere in the 'good book' for us to all KNOW that we should use the site to find an acceptable mate?
4 - What ever did the bronze age hermits and farmers do prior to the advent of the Internet and "gods site"?
5 - Am I supposed to believe that the only place I can now find a good match for me is if SC deems them worthy on this website?
6 - Have you seen their promos online for this site? It's almost hilarious how they use scantily clad women to draw in the losers to find their "gawd match" online. Check out this link and you will see what I mean: Christian mingle ad
7 - Since SC cares so much about whether or not I get laid by a good christian woman, I wonder does she KNOW that she will be sucking my cock at SC's behest?
8 - If she does KNOW this, this could be a boon for all Atheists everywhere! We could all get accounts and use the "Gawd said we are a match, so suck it" approach and get head for days right?
9 - Which programmer has the direct link to SC? I want to meet that geek!
10 - Does SC use a PC or a Mac for his computing needs?
I am not sure exactly on any of these questions, can anyone tell me please, what is the need for SC to have a dating website for desperate christian singles? How does that benefit SC and it's domination of the universe?

The "Blind Lizard" argument
I know, it's been a while since I have posted anything. It's been a VERY busy couple months with moving suddenly (the house I was renting had black mold), having hernia surgery for the 3rd time and the holidays. I will say I made it through all of it without thinking I should pray to anyone or anything even once! I would like to take a second though and thank the good doctors and nurses at IMC for their care and professionalism. They were great!
Last Saturday as my son and I were getting ready to go to the archery range and loose some arrows at a few very deserving paper targets, we received a visit from an evangelical whackadoo. I am not sure what faith he was promoting specifically as he didn't identify himself with any organized group. He was an older man and had a young african american boy with him in tow. When I answered the door, he immediately asks me without introducing himself if "I would like to discuss god with him"?
Now, I very rarely turn down a good debate and would normally have invited he and his little buddy in for a spirited debate on religion and the existence of a supreme being. Since I was getting ready to go, (bow in hand) I wasn't really in the mood for a long discussion with him and politely said "No, thanks. I'm not a believer and this would be a waste of your time."
He stood there for less than 2 seconds and started into a tirade regarding creation and evolution. I am not sure why he went there, I didn't mention anything of the sort to him. I politely responded that there isn't a creator and that evolution proves itself, all he would need to do is examine any animal or for that matter human being and he could see evolution in action.
This is when he got weird on me: He looked at me and said "what about blind lizards?" then went on to explain how a blind lizard would die if god didn't give it eyes. I told him that there are plenty of blind animals and other life forms on the planet that do just fine. He insisted that if god didn't give blind animals eyes they would all die. At that point I knew I was dealing with a crackpot and realized that there was going to be no simple end to this conversation so I stood there mute for about three minutes as he rambled on about blind animals and gods link to them. He asked me if that made me think that there could be a god, I simply said no it makes me think you don't know what you are talking about.
He then says "well we have stuff to do" and turned and walked away.
Has anyone else dealt with this before? I have no idea where he was going with the blind lizard argument. If it was to convice me of a creator it didn't work, it only convinced me that he was an idiot that had no idea what he was talking about.
It's good to be back. I will make sure to post more to keep you all entertained.
