This was too funny to pass up:
Trojan Horse
This had me laughing for quite a while.

The perils of Ignorance
The Perils of Ignorance
(hat tip: FSTDT, as always this is the ultimate source of both ignorance and witty responses to it)
Evolution of Christianity
(hat tip: FSTDT)
Occams Razor - The Evolution of Christianity
Although the pedants might whine, I found this pretty funny.
Faith Explained, in cartoon form
Pascals Wager – In Cartoon Terms
(another funny cartoon from FSTDT – this time the hat tip is to Tom S Fox)
Sadly, this was posted because some one commenting on the Daily Telegraph thought that an appeal to Pascals Wager was a logical argument.
Let’s see, if I choose not to be a Christian and there is no God, I die and nothing happens. If there is a God, I die and go to Hell.
If I choose to be a Christian and there is no God, I die and nothing happens. If there is a God, I die and have eternal life.
Which is the rational choice?
I mean, what century are we in? Are there really people who think this is a legitimate “rational” argument, much less a legitimate reason to have faith? Surely if the great Abrahamic Sky Pixie is so insanely jealous all must bow before him, he is going to get pretty annoyed at this line of reasoning….
Still, who ever said Christians were logical?
The pawn’s English
Getting a comment here from Steve Sutton, I looked at his blog.. There is some really funny stuff there. There’s a great comics page called Internet Earl and some brilliant Voyager spoof scripts that might almost have been actual episodes. And lots more, youtube videos etc, that I haven’t had a chance to look at.
In case, you are wondering, the headline above is a great phrase that appears in one of the comics. It makes sense in the context. You have to go there.
Following our self-imposed rules for comments week, we should have commented on his blog but I couldn’t find a comment form, although there is a full-blown forum.
Christian fun for boys and girls
Following links from parabiodox’s – how can I put this? – unique site, I came across some really good Christian sites. Believe it or not. No, really.
(And before you say it, I’m not the fool for carrying on….. I know it’s not April 1 any more. )
I’m not talking about the normal entertainment value you can get from from reading creationist garbage and having a good chortle – albeit, tinged with fear. These really seem to be people who can extract the proverbial urine from themselves.
Ship of fools is a shock. It should probably be on the Atheist blogroll, were it not for the bulletin board that seems to be full of actual Christians. The gadgets for instance, like the dasboard Jesus, from Dogma or the knitted testament redefine tacky.
My temporary favourite is the cat baptising kit. Which seems to be being applied to the evil cat from Cats and dogs.
There is a section called the Fruitcake Zone that might as well be on the atheist blogroll because some of these links really are to the sites of people off the church bell-shaped curve of rationality. As the Ship of Fools site puts it:-
Here you will find the weird, wild and wonderful world of religious fruitcake, with websites that unwittingly put the “fun” back into fundamentalism. And the “mental”, come to think of it.
Related sites include the The religious adherence of comic book characters With an attention to detail that would shame Monk (the TV detective, that is, not a member of a religious order) someone has tabulated a million comic book characters and listed their religions.
They’ve had to strain the concept of religion beyond breaking point to include things like Alcoholics Anonymous, environmentalism, even atheism. (A fair number of the villains turn out to be atheists.)
Some characters like Thor and Hercules are even stuck with worshipping themselves more or less.
There are even linked pages debating the religion of selected characters at such length you may suspect the Bible is the condensed version of the book these would make.
You can spend hours here, being amused, infuriated and utterly baffled at the oddness of the human mind. As I said they are pretty damn good.
