I have found the Lord. I pray that I won't have to witness him "speaking", though.
Thank van Kempen for leading me to my salvation.

Random Quote
The level of awe that you get by contemplating the modern scientific view of the universe: deep time (by which I mean geological time), deep space, and what you could call deep complexity, living things….. that level of awe is just orders of magnitude greater and more awe-inspiring than the sort of pokey medieval world-view which the church still actually has. I mean, they sort of pay lip-service to the scientific world-view, but if you listen to what they say on Thought For The Day [a religious program on BBC Radio] and things like that, it is medieval. It's a small world, a small universe, with the sky up there, very little advance since that time. So I yield to nobody in my awe for the universe and for life, but I also have a deep desire to understand it, in terms of what makes it work, what makes it tick, and not to take refuge in spurious non-explanations like "I just believe it because I believe it," that sort of thing.
[Richard Dawkins, interview with Douglas Adams]

Kibble: $10; Rhinestone collar: $30; Seeing Jesus appear on you dog's ass: priceless!

That is one of the most genius things I've ever seen. I almost thought it was a photoshop trick, it looks too "good".

Truly classic. The Jesus freaks are gonna go insane if the dog ever gets dysentery. I can just hear the cries of stigmata!

Hey whattaya know, if you disemvowel the URL for Jinx's cyberstalking site, it links to something called 'Agoga.com'!

It is utterly amazing that another human being has a blog devoted to PZ. It sounds almost pornographic----PZ Myers exposed!
Perhaps this Jason fellow really does have a mancrush on PZ. It is one of the oddest things I've seen on the internet.
He actually believes he is providing some form of balance but in fact just keeps making himself look more and more silly. You can't make people like him up.

Jsn couldn't stand it if a thread about a religious asshole was about any other son of a bitch than him.

I've been getting a big kick out of the ytmnd site: they have a number of wonderfuly goofy bits on the madness that is evangelism. Christian Science Fiction:

And, of course, the classic:

I wonder if anyone's tried to kiss this apparition of Jesus to see if it will cure them.
Posted by: Bokanovsky Process | September 22, 2006 3:47 PM
Went to Jason's PZ-phobic site a few seconds ago, and found a total of zero comments, after nearly a month. If you listened closely, you could hear the electronic tumbleweeds blowing across the page...
Any comments (if they ever come) are going to be moderated, we are informed in the latest post. I'll bet they are - let Jason "have it" and watch the memory hole open. Next thing you know, he'll be hiding from search engines...

Bokanovsky Process,
Since he fancies himself the anti-PZ, perhaps if we make snarky comments there he'll post them but take all the consonants out.
Posted by: Bokanovsky Process | September 22, 2006 4:14 PM
Idlemind - I had the honor, so to speak, of being the first commentor. We'll see if my contribution ever shows up.
Posted by: RedMolly | September 22, 2006 4:42 PM
Idlemind--that'd be cool. It would sound pretty much exactly like speaking in tongues.

What is up with this guy and his PZ sex site? I think PZ is alright but even though I'm a gay man I don't want to sex pose him! This Jason guy is a real sicko.
Posted by: qetzal | September 22, 2006 5:19 PM
Is it just me, or does the ascending Jesus picture in the link have cloven hoofs?
Posted by: John M. Burt | September 22, 2006 5:29 PM
This is really quite disgusting.
But it will be worth it if it means the end of this face-of-Jesus nonsense.

Where's the hate mail? A good half or more of the entertainment value of web sites like that is the page full of hate mail from folks whose minds have been broken by the content of the web site.

"Since he fancies himself the anti-PZ, perhaps if we make snarky comments there he'll post them but take all the consonants out."
idlemind wins! Jason is so predictable. Unfortunately, Bokanovsky Process's comment is undecipherable without the consonants.
Posted by: Calladus | September 22, 2006 6:50 PM
Is THAT what it said? I thought it said "PZ Myer SEX POSED" - I was afraid to click on it for fear of explicit PZ photos!
Posted by: Calladus | September 22, 2006 6:53 PM
aw drat - Tulle wrote it first!
Posted by: MikeM | September 22, 2006 6:56 PM
"Disemconsonanted" just doesn't roll off the tongue like "Disemvoweled", does it?
I find it really appropriate that Jason would relate getbehindjesus with his own website. The two are now forever linked.
I could not stop myself from singing "Old MacDonald Had A Farm" when I read that post, though. Now I dare you to try.

Comments weren't enabled until today...they sure weren't enabled for the last month (or so) that I've been checking.

He wasn't sure if there really was a dog.
