The smarter the bird…

…the more likely the bird will deny all gods.

So, in an obvious case of Scibling Rivalry, Jason Rosenhouse has taken me to task about my comments on Dawkins and agnosticism. Indeed, I have been fisked. Obviously one can decide about whether God exists or not, and agnostics are just inadequate atheists... Let's set the scene with some…
Watch the Fox News announcer get all pissy about Brian Flemming's Blasphemy Challenge. The funny thing is watching Kasich declare himself just "sick" about it and accusing Flemming of "preying on children" and getting upset because the people on youtube are not attacking Mohammed enough…and then…
But it's not enough on its own. Case in point: the Raelians have put up a sign in Las Vegas. It does have a helpful statement from a Raelian spokesman to help you sort the rationalists from clowns, if the flying saucer in the billboard isn't enough for you. If you drive the freeway between Vegas…
Norse cult gains among inmates: A pagan religion that some experts say can be interpreted as encouraging violence is gaining popularity among prison inmates, one of whom is scheduled to be executed this week for killing a fellow prisoner at the foot of an altar. Michael Lenz is scheduled to die…

The non-existence of ceiling-cat will come as a relief to many of us posters.

But, but, there are PICTURES of ceiling cat! Of course, he looks different in each one of them, but that's the, um, variable nature of ceiling cat, that he is all things to all species. And he has made many pronouncements! They are written down in the sacred texts of icanhascheezburger!

F'ing apostates.

Goddamn Shelley, you sure are cute!

Jus sayin, ya know...,

My 'tiels* have some thoughts on all this
They say, "Wait, God doesn't exist?"
And then they both say
(while the cat is away)
"Feed me or we'll bite off your wrist."

I wonder if they'd feel the same
(or would I just be changing the game)
Would they call me a sinner,
if, when the cat needed dinner
I'd forgotten to secure their cage?

God's where you want him to be.
In a book, in the air, on TV.
One thing I don't get:
Am I God to my pets?
I hope not; that thought terrifies me.
