It seems I will continue my religious posts and make it a trifecta.

Here is Penn and Teller pointing out just how contradictory and stupid the bible really is.

I have to also say I loved their show Bullshit, a bit too libertarian for my tastes but most of the their stuff I loved.

I suppose I am in a particular mood but I happen to really enjoy pointing out how stupid the religious are.  It seems the U.S. in particular is having an influx of religious fools lately and it is nice to remember that intelligent people tend to know better and don’t need the god crutch.

Here is one persons take on atheism.

Too funny and sadly so true. After being fed up with Mormons bothering him this film maker decided to go around trying to convert Mormons to atheism.

The best part is when a Mormon bishop gets really angry and hits one of the characters with his rake.

Gotta love the religious folks, they really are that clueless.

Australian filmmaker John Safran is so fed up with mormons ringing his doorbell early in the morning that he flies to Salt Lake City Utah and tries to convert Mormons to atheism. Needless to say, the locals were not pleased.

George Carlin is one of my absolute favourite comedians.  Who else has the brains and balls to pull off a speech about how corporations control our lives and still manage, somehow, to pull of some laughs.

Here he is talking about things that matter and ask yourself, who owns you?

One of the few times I really wish I was living in Toronto is when I read about IdeaCity.  This annual event brings together such an interesting, engaging mix of Artists, Politicians, Architects, Entrepreneurs, Nobel Laureates, Professors, experts in their fields and they come together for a three day event to talk about the world of ideas. The potential for a meeting like this is huge.

This is such a great idea it really makes me jealous for people living in Toronto.  The best speakers on a myriad of subjects.  Hopefully this idea will make it to Vancouver one day.

From the website:

“ideaCity, also known as ‘Canada’s Premiere
Meeting of the Minds’, is an eclectic gathering of artists,
adventurers, authors, cosmologists, doctors, designers, entertainers,
filmmakers, inventors, magicians, musicians, scientists and
technologists. Fifty of the planet’s brightest minds converge on
Toronto each June to speak to a highly engaged audience. Only 497 are
privileged to attend.

Produced and presented by Moses Znaimer, ideaCity
is not themed around any one topic, issue or business. There are no
scripted speeches or, breakout or parallel sessions. Rather, everyone
is in one place and in on the same narrative. With extra-long schmooze
breaks between sessions, and legendary parties each night, attendees
have an unprecedented opportunity to mingle with such notable speakers
as Conrad Black, Barbara Gowdy, Michael Ignatieff, Douglas Coupland,
Pamela Wallin, Pete Seeger, Robert Kennedy Jr., John Ralston Saul,
Daniel Libeskind, Clayton Ruby, Romeo Dallaire and the late Peter
Jennings.”

This is hilarious.

My landlord is a badass like this.

This is a great idea.  This website invites people to deny the existence of the holy spirit and will give you a DVD “The God That Wasent There” if you do.

From the website:

“It’s simple. You record a short message damning yourself to Hell,
you upload it to YouTube, and then the Rational Response Squad will
send you a free The God Who Wasn’t There DVD. It’s that easy.

INSTRUCTIONS:

You may damn yourself to Hell however you would like, but somewhere
in your video you must say this phrase: “I deny the Holy Spirit.”

Why? Because, according to Mark 3:29 in the Holy Bible,
“Whoever blasphemes against the Holy Spirit will never be forgiven; he
is guilty of an eternal sin.” Jesus will forgive you for just about
anything, but he won’t forgive you for denying the existence of the Holy Spirit. Ever. This is a one-way road you’re taking here.”

What a great idea! Too funny and hey for denying the existence of a non-existing god you get a free DVD, thats a great score. 

I just wish I had some way of posting a video myself.

So the guy that made the now legendary Dylan/Seuss retro musical mash-up masterpiece has been discovered and apparently he doesn’t want to talk about how he was bullied by the Suess enterprise.

“Kevin Ryan doesn’t want to talk about his recent fling with Web stardom. He’s a bit rueful and more than a little nervous about it, in fact, and wishes the whole thing would just go away.

If you missed his star turn, here’s what happened:

Ryan, a 33-year-old Houston music producer and author, went into his home studio and engineered a sort of retro mash-up of two of his favorite artists, Bob Dylan and Dr. Seuss.”
