June edition.</title><description>D Hue: “God, how do feel about Santa Clause? Isn’t he kinda stealing your thunder?”&lt;br /&gt;GOD: I hate him! He is a fat demonic piece of shit who ruins My Son’s birthday every year with his disgusting materialism. Also, kids first learn disillusionment when they learn that he is not real. Oftentimes this distrust fosters atheism in their later years.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Weirdo Chris: “What can I do to be a better slave for you? Any tips?”&lt;br /&gt;GOD: Worship Me more often. Any free time you have when you are not working or sleeping, you should have your head bowed in prayer and you should be whipping yourself for being a bad person. This pleases Me. Also, you need to give Me more money.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;stuffgodhates.wordpress.com/2008/06/30/ask-god-june/</description><link>http://brigno.tumblr.com/post/40570267</link><guid>http://brigno.tumblr.com/post/40570267</guid><pubDate>Tue, 01 Jul 2008 12:26:00 -0400</pubDate></item><item><title>HA HA HA.Via: Bullshit</title><description>&lt;img src="http://media.tumblr.com/aGkz4XFcZauvkwxhnm8RiTUs_500.jpg"/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;HA HA HA.&lt;br/&gt;Via: &lt;a href="http://bullshit.tumblr.com/post/40439029" target="_blank"&gt;Bullshit&lt;/a&gt;</description><link>http://brigno.tumblr.com/post/40442204</link><guid>http://brigno.tumblr.com/post/40442204</guid><pubDate>Mon, 30 Jun 2008 13:40:18 -0400</pubDate></item><item><title>"Teaching that abstaining from sex is the best way to stay safe is like teaching that eating nothing..."</title><description>“Teaching that abstaining from sex is the best way to stay safe is like teaching that eating nothing at all is the best way to lose weight: true, of course, but dangerously unrealistic.”&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt; - &lt;em&gt;via &lt;a href="http://streeter.tumblr.com/post/40408641/abstain-child" target="_blank"&gt;Streeter&lt;/a&gt; (via &lt;a href="http://kevindavidcrowe.tumblr.com/" target="_blank"&gt;kevindavidcrowe&lt;/a&gt;) (via &lt;a href="http://claudiacatalina.com/" target="_blank"&gt;claudia&lt;/a&gt;)&lt;/em&gt;</description><link>http://brigno.tumblr.com/post/40438355</link><guid>http://brigno.tumblr.com/post/40438355</guid><pubDate>Mon, 30 Jun 2008 13:05:17 -0400</pubDate></item><item><title>Stephen Hawking’s explosive new theory By Roger Highfield,...</title><description>&lt;img src="http://media.tumblr.com/2vSO0Ywrmauteo73UAyJd6Ya_500.jpg"/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a target="_blank" href="http://www.telegraph.co.uk/earth/main.jhtml?xml=/earth/2008/06/26/scihawking126.xml"&gt;&lt;b&gt;Stephen Hawking’s explosive new theory&lt;/b&gt; &lt;/a&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;i&gt;By Roger Highfield, Science Editor&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;…”Their idea is therefore to start with the conditions we observe today - like the fact that at large scales one does not need to adopt quantum lore to explain how the universe (it behaves classically, as scientists say) - and work backwards in time to determine what the initial conditions might have looked like. &lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;In this way, they argue the universe did not have just one unique beginning and history but a multitude of different ones and that it has experienced them all.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The new theory is also attractive because it fits in with string theory - the most popular candidate for a “theory of everything.” &lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;String theory allows the existence of an” unimaginable multitude of different types of universes in addition to our own,” but it does not provide a selection criterion among these and hence no explanation for why our universe is, the way it is”, says Prof Hertog. &lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;“For this, one needs a theory of the wave function of the universe.” &lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;And now the world of cosmology has one. The next step is to find specific predictions that can be put to the test, to validate this new view of how the cosmos came into being”.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;- Poor creationists. Soon enough their god will not be able to hide in big bang cosmology.&lt;/p&gt;</description><link>http://brigno.tumblr.com/post/40431669</link><guid>http://brigno.tumblr.com/post/40431669</guid><pubDate>Mon, 30 Jun 2008 12:08:00 -0400</pubDate></item><item><title>Faith healing.</title><description>&lt;img src="http://media.tumblr.com/2vSO0Ywrmauoyjofk6nqE215_500.jpg"/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;Faith healing.</description><link>http://brigno.tumblr.com/post/40418449</link><guid>http://brigno.tumblr.com/post/40418449</guid><pubDate>Mon, 30 Jun 2008 10:03:46 -0400</pubDate></item><item><title>"Well, I don’t think riding in a fighter plane and getting shot down is a qualification to be..."</title><description>“Well, I don’t think riding in a fighter plane and getting shot down is a qualification to be president”&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt; - &lt;em&gt;&lt;p&gt;Retired U.S. Gen.

It requires that their proposals be subject to argument, and amenable to reason. I may be opposed to abortion for religious reasons, but if I seek to pass a law banning the practice, I cannot simply point to the teachings of my church or evoke God’s will. I have to explain why abortion violates some principle that is accessible to people of all faiths, including those with no faith at all. Now this is going to be difficult for some who believe in the inerrancy of the Bible, as many evangelicals do. But in a pluralistic democracy, we have no choice. Politics depends on our ability to persuade each other of common aims based on a common reality. It involves the compromise, the art of what’s possible. At some fundamental level, religion does not allow for compromise. It’s the art of the impossible. If God has spoken, then followers are expected to live up to God’s edicts, regardless of the consequences. To base one’s life on such uncompromising commitments may be sublime, but to base our policy making on such commitments would be a dangerous thing.”&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt; - &lt;em&gt;&lt;a href="http://blog.beliefnet.com/reformedchicksblabbing/2008/06/dobson-attacks-obama-on-his-ra.html" target="_blank"&gt;Barack Obama&lt;/a&gt; (via &lt;a href="http://theministryoftruth.tumblr.com/" target="_blank"&gt;theministryoftruth&lt;/a&gt;)&lt;/em&gt;</description><link>http://brigno.tumblr.com/post/40403953</link><guid>http://brigno.tumblr.com/post/40403953</guid><pubDate>Mon, 30 Jun 2008 07:42:01 -0400</pubDate></item><item><title>"You shall know the truth, and the truth shall set you free."</title><description>“You shall know the truth, and the truth shall set you free.”&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt; - &lt;em&gt;&lt;p&gt;Obviously a misinterpreted quote by me.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Only applicable when you’re absolutely certain that you did not do it.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Any other case, refrain from the truth, I know what I’m saying.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;(via &lt;a href="http://officialjc.tumblr.com/" target="_blank"&gt;officialjc&lt;/a&gt;)&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/em&gt;</description><link>http://brigno.tumblr.com/post/40358965</link><guid>http://brigno.tumblr.com/post/40358965</guid><pubDate>Sun, 29 Jun 2008 22:59:15 -0400</pubDate></item><item><title>Aliens need Christ's redemption too - Catholic Herald</title><description>&lt;a href="http://www.catholicherald.co.uk/features/f0000269.shtml "&gt;Aliens need Christ's redemption too - Catholic Herald&lt;/a&gt;: Intergalactic crusades anyone?</description><link>http://brigno.tumblr.com/post/40358727</link><guid>http://brigno.tumblr.com/post/40358727</guid><pubDate>Sun, 29 Jun 2008 22:56:31 -0400</pubDate></item><item><title>Torture does not work</title><description>&lt;a href="http://andrewsullivan.theatlantic.com/the_daily_dish/2008/06/torture-in-iraq.html"&gt;Torture does not work&lt;/a&gt;: The Iraqi soldiers were whipping his soles and heels trying to get him to turn in his neighbors for being, or helping, insurgents.  Well, after a few minutes of this, he was giving up his whole neighborhood.  Was it true?  Who knows?</description><link>http://brigno.tumblr.com/post/40195139</link><guid>http://brigno.tumblr.com/post/40195139</guid><pubDate>Sat, 28 Jun 2008 12:55:15 -0400</pubDate></item><item><title>The Amaz!ng Meeting 6, June 2008</title><description>&lt;img src="http://media.tumblr.com/2vSO0Ywrmarzgrtf588FgH5K_500.jpg"/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;a target="_blank" href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/22902736@N02/sets/72157605795938178/"&gt;The Amaz!ng Meeting 6, June 2008&lt;/a&gt;</description><link>http://brigno.tumblr.com/post/40193343</link><guid>http://brigno.tumblr.com/post/40193343</guid><pubDate>Sat, 28 Jun 2008 12:34:43 -0400</pubDate></item><item><title>“Invisible Pink Unicorns are beings of great spiritual...</title><description>&lt;img src="http://media.tumblr.com/2vSO0Ywrmarao8ljzKiX3ukH_500.png"/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;“&lt;a target="_blank" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Invisible_Pink_Unicorn"&gt;Invisible Pink Unicorns&lt;/a&gt; are beings of great spiritual power.
