Imbecile…
From the March 25, 2009 hearing of the U.S. House Subcommittee on Energy and Environment. Gather round one and all… Watch Rep. John Shimkus turn into an imbecile right before your eyes ladies and gentlemen!
That just makes me sad… The bible as the infallible word of god? Has he ever really read the fucking thing? I wonder his thoughts on revelation… but I digress; he misses the verse right before he starts quoting, which gives the reasoning for god’s decision… (closest translation I could find was NIV…)
Genesis 8:20 Then Noah built an altar to the LORD and, taking some of all the clean animals and clean birds, he sacrificed burnt offerings on it. 21 The LORD smelled the pleasing aroma and said in his heart: “Never again will I curse the ground because of man, even though [a] every inclination of his heart is evil from childhood. And never again will I destroy all living creatures, as I have done.
22 “As long as the earth endures,
seedtime and harvest,
cold and heat,
summer and winter,
day and night
will never cease.”
He’s using Noah’s animal sacrifice to the lord to get the lord to not kill every living thing again, and god agrees. His selective quotation from the passage (cutting out “The LORD smelled the pleasing aroma and said in his heart”) makes me think he doesn’t actually believe the story, and therefore just likes the phrases involved with this pointless fable. Also, the statement “every inclination of his heart is evil from childhood” is one of my main problems with religions, and he reads that without removing it… Why is it, do you suppose, that that is quoted in the context of arguing against global warming… I’ll let you all figure that one out for yourselves… Back to my point about religion though, the blanket comment “you are evil in your heart” comment which comes from religions and cults is an easy way to (once convinced) get a large group of people to follow those few who claim to know how to get back into the “good” territory.
Anyway, just to pass along something that really made me laugh hard. These are quotes read from text taken directly from online christian fundamentalist forums. Enjoy…
Some of this is Poe’s Law in action I think…
Bill Hicks Remembered
The 15th anniversary of the death of legendary comedian Bill Hicks is coming up on February 26 of this year. In commemoration of this, David Letterman had Hicks’ mother on his show on January 30th, and he finally showed the stand-up routine that was censored several months before Bill died. He has become one of my top 5 comedians as I’ve poured through his past albums (which I would highly recommend anyone check out), and this was a very nice thing for Letterman to do (as well as taking the blame for the censoring)… Anyway, the standup act itself is in the 3rd part (if you just want to skip to that…) Enjoy…
