Chinese Citizens Gather In Beijing Square To Watch U.S. National Debt Clock Strike $18 Trillion...

BEIJING—Celebrating the milestone with hugs, jubilant cheers, and singing, over 600,000 Chinese citizens assembled in Tiananmen Square today to watch the U.S. debt clock mounted above the Forbidden City reach the landmark sum of $18 trillion dollars. “You could stay home and watch it on TV, but it’s much more exciting to be here with people from all over the country to celebrate this momentous day,” said Beijing resident Xiao Bu, noting that he always arrives in the early morning to stake out a good location in the square every time America’s debt rises by another trillion. “I remember my father taking me to see the $5 trillion mark so long ago, and now I’m bringing my own children here to take part in the festivities. It’s really a special part of our nation’s culture.” While most revelers left shortly after the rollover, an estimated 100,000 reportedly decided to just wait around in the square until the clock struck $19 trillion.

Got a few minutes to listen to a guy whom I agree with totally and who expresses himself much better than I?

Thanks for your kind words last week.

Here we go again...

"Why we are unaware that we lack the skill to tell how unskilled and unaware we are? Each one of us has a relationship with our own ignorance, a dishonest, complicated relationship, and that dishonesty keeps us sane, happy, and willing to get out of bed in the morning."

How about this logic:
"We humans don't know exactly how DNA formed - ergo - god did it."
There is no arguing with people like that. 

Why the fuck not? I assert that the exact percentage of people who pray not to be robbed, are robbed at the exact percentage of people who have never prayed. That FACT doesn't phase the believers even though they used that EXACT logic in every other aspect of their lives.

This man must have never been in a Nazi concentration camp...listening to the millions praying for their god to help them. 

Is there anything I could say about these two images?

Now think about the last time you were in a Catholic church. I find it hilarious.

According to the book, you, daughter of god, were an afterthought created to amuse men. 

Think a woman with snakes for hair that turns men into stone is silly?

 And you "eat" the flesh of your savior?

 And knowing Americans, there are many people that will believe him...

Hindu group wants to erect a giant statue of Lord Hanuman, the monkey God, on the Okla. State capitol grounds.

 And to think, that monkey god is EXACTLY as valid as your savior that you symbolically eat every Sunday.

You scratch an itch to cause pain, which soothes the itch. Then your body releases serotonin to reduce the pain, and the itch flares up.

So much for perfect design.

 I honestly don't know what that means, but it sounds valid.

And all of these people have read the same book very carefully and yet have found totally different standards...

 That must give some "Perfect Book" advocates pause.

Because the supervisor of all those Super Novae is really concerned if you pleasure yourself. 

And without one shred of evidence, someone offers us this...

 I find it more than interesting that the richer you are the more blessings you have.

 Amen.

The key world there is "IF".

What?

Seriously....WHAT? Is there anyone out there who can tell me you base your whole world view on shit like that?

Oh, look, ANOTHER god.

 Travel around the world and you can't throw a dead cat without hitting a now defunct god. It's enough to make you wonder.

Yeah, yeah, yeah. The truth is that ain't nobody know shit, except maybe we know there are a whole bunch of people who like to make up shit as to our "soul" and "spirit" and such shit. Yeah, it sounds good, but that don't prove shit.

I don't always take advice about morality and religion, but when I do, it's not from men who raped their slaves.
