It really made my (metaphorical) heart soar when everyone went crazy at the mention of our noodly lord.

@Deanbass77 It caught me off guard. I knew they'd be happy at Cthulu, Bob and FSM, and I knew FSM would be the capper, but I had no idea they'd go that ape-shit. It was fun.

Exactly Keith, forget arguing with them just argue for them but take it further... it's way funnier at the very least!

Ever listen to that bit by Doug Stanhope where he calls the number on the back of an anti-abortion pamphlet that contains a photo of a dead fetus? It's hilarious because he argues from a more religious position and accuses the man of peddling the worst form of child pornography, it's too perfect.

[klfly]

@PainAddict666 Thats the bit that made me a fan of Stanhope. So brilliant!

Every morning, when the Pledge is recited over our public high school intercom, I ALWAYS exchange 'FSM' for 'God'. Nobody has noticed yet. I consider this a prayer in a public school and feel it is illegal. Also, whenever our faculty has a meal together, you guessed it, an administator leads us with 'Grace' beforehand. Fuckers!

This reminds me of when Edward Current uploaded a video saying since he's converted to all religions he won't have much time to make videos.

This coming up as a link for a Doug Stanhope search is unacceptable. However this happened, I mark it here as a failure. Google, bad job. Internet, even worse. What a shitstorm this video is. Edgy atheist teenagers rabble rabble rabble.

@GnosticHumanist Its kind of sad - but if you think about it, the Cthulhu mythos almost make the most sense since they are not truly supernatural - just alien. I say teach the mythos.

[GnosticHumanist]

Personally I prefer the Hindu version of "creation"; apparantly a giant inter-galactic space-turtle created the earth.

That is EXACTLY what should be taught in science class.

@SinnFein4ever I was refering to the main ones. You know, that blaintently lie to its followers. Christianity and Islam. I was also refering to American schools.

Dead Fetus Photo - Doug Stanhope

excellent! A classic I hadn't known about! Thanks!

@MrJohnnyrace

(sighs)

ALL of them are.

They're from different religions from all over the world.

For example, Vishnu is a diety from Hinduism (which is an Indian religion)

Good grief, you're woefully ignorant.

You must have gone to a public school.

@saxmanchiro That filling in FSM for God is amazing. I'm doing that tomorrow!

[MrJohnnyrace]

@SinnFein4ever Are any of them ??

[SinnFein4ever]

@MrJohnnyrace

Gumby is not a diety.

[MrJohnnyrace]

What about Gumby ??
