Fucked Up Design

  When a product has a flaw in it that causes injuries and/or death, it's the fault of the manufacturer not the product. Examples include the Samsung Galaxy Note 7, Takata airbags, hoverboards and General Motors ignition switches. In each case, the company that designed and manufactured the product was to blame.
  Let's apply this to Intelligent Design. Some people would have us believe that the universe was designed by an omnipotent, omniscient deity. First, God designed the angels. Everything the Angels are was brought into being by God. One of God's angelic creations, Lucifer, rebelled against God and convinced one third of the Angels to join him. Does this sound like an intelligent design to you? Sounds more like a colossal fuckup to me. And how does Mr. Omnipotence and Omniscience fix this problem? Does He out debate Lucifer and convince him and the rebelling Angels that their plan won't work? You'd think an omniscience being could pull that off with ease. Does He simply eliminate the problem by fixing the flaw in the rebellious Angels? No in both cases. This supposedly perfect being just casts Lucifer and his followers into Hell and let's the problem fester. Smart move.
  Then there's the creation of Man. Again, you'd think a supposedly perfect being would be able a design a flawless creation. Nope. Mankind is a lot of things but perfect isn't one of them. For all the good we're capable of doing, we're also capable of considerable amounts of evil. All of it designed into us by God if you believe religion. And in typical narcissistic fashion, God blames His creations for their actions rather than Himself for making those actions possible. He can't accept the fact that He's a colossal Fuckup.

You've got to be fucking kidding me

  On tonight's Daily Show, they had a spot where they talk to Rev. Bob Larson about him conducting exorcisms via Skype. Can you believe it? Can you FUCKING believe it!?! It's the 21st century and we still have people in this country that think demons and demonic possession are real. Now I've seen videos of these so called exorcisms and they consist of nothing more than people making funny faces and talking in weird voices. Nothing even remotely supernatural occurs. You'd think if the person in question were really possessed, the possessing demon would make every effort to demonstrate its power in order to intimidate the exorcist yet this never occurs. The people receiving these exorcisms are nothing more than mentally unbalanced people in need of serious therapy. These so called exorcists, by catering to their delusions, are simply acting as enablers. This is bullshit plain and simple. And Rev. Larson asks for donations of $290.00 for each exorcism. Nice scam you've got there, buddy. You delude people into thinking they're possessed and then bilk them out of $290.00 so you can "cure" them. And the law makes no effort to arrest you for being a scam artist.

The Hobby Lobby Ruling: The Satanic Response

   Remember when SCOTUS ruled that corporations with "closely held" religious beliefs had the same First Amendment religious protection as human beings? The Christian Right wanted this ruling as yet another way to impose their religion upon everyone else. Other people wondered what would happen if non Christians tried to use this ruling. In an article from the Daily Kos, the Satanic Temple is trying to do just that. Their claim is that this ruling exempts its believers from state-mandated informed consent laws that require women considering abortions to read pro-life material. Information regarding the Temple's efforts can be found here. I love it. I want to see how the right wing religious pricks are going to respond to this. I'm certain they'll be frothing at the mouth at the Temple's temerity. How dare they exploit a ruling that was only supposed to benefit Christians! I want to hear how the propaganda monkeys over at Fox are going to handle it. Those verbal diarrhea spewing, hate mongering jack holes must be going apoplectic over this. Of all the world's religions, Satanism is the only one that makes any sense. They are little different from atheists like me. They don't believe in God anymore than I do.

Rebuttal: The Infernal Diatribe

Rebuttal: The Infernal Diatribe

Listen pious hypocrites

To the pronouncement of your foes.

Too long has mankind suffered

Your madness, torment and woe.

You inflict death and pain

 In the most holy name of God.

We of the left hand path

Find your behavior rather odd.

You declare all pleasures

To be the vilest of sins.

Not to be indulged lest

The torment of Hell begins.

You speak your pious lies

And at us you point the finger.

So none of your flock will notice

That corruption, around you, lingers.

You call Satan the accuser

And that he certainly shall be!

Your lying ways shall be exposed

For all the world to see!

Your time in the light is fading.

And it’s easy to understand why.

Your brainwashed slaves are revolting

And they will make you die!
