jobee   10 #495 Posted April 4, 2010 Elizabeth Cady-Stanton on suppression   "The memory of my own suffering has prevented me from ever shadowing one young soul with the superstitions of the Christian religion."  "The Bible and the Church have been the greatest stumbling blocks in the way of women's emancipation."  "The bible teaches that woman brought sin and death into the world, that she precipitated the fall of the race, that she was arraigned before the judgment seat of Heaven, tried, condemned and sentenced. Marriage for her was to be a condition of bondage, maternity a period of suffering and anguish, and in silence and subjection, she was to play the role of a dependent on man's bounty for all her material wants, and for all the information she might desire...Here is the Bible position of woman briefly summed up."  She wrote of the Bible, "I found nothing grand in the history of the Jews nor in the morals inculcated in the Pentateuch. Surely the writers had a very low idea of the nature of their god. They made him not only anthropomorphic, but of the very lowest type, jealous and revengeful, loving violence rather than mercy. I know of no other books that so fully teach the subjection and degradation of women." [Women Without Superstition]  - Elizabeth Cady Stanton, American suffragist (1815-1902).

jobee   10 #496 Posted May 4, 2010 Muslim suicide bombers in Britain are set to begin a three-day strike on Monday in a dispute over the number of virgins they are entitled to in the afterlife. Emergency talks with Al Qaeda have so far failed to produce an agreement.  The unrest began last Tuesday when Al Qaeda announced that the number of virgins a suicide bomber would receive after his death will be cut by 25% this April, from 72 to only 54. The rationale for the cut was the increase in recent years of the number of suicide bombings and a subsequent shortage of virgins in the afterlife.  The suicide bombers' union, the British Organization of Occupational Martyrs (or B.O.O.M.) responded with a statement that this was unacceptable to its members and immediately balloted for strike action.  General Secretary Abdullah Amir told the press, "Our members are literally working themselves to death in the cause of Jihad. We don't ask for much in return but to be treated like this is like a kick in the teeth."  Speaking from his shed in Tipton in the West Midlands in which he currently resides, Al Qaeda chief executive Osama bin Laden explained, "We sympathize with our workers' concerns but Al Qaeda is simply not in a position to meet their demands. They are simply not accepting the realities of modern-day Jihad in a competitive marketplace.  "Thanks to Western depravity, there is now a chronic shortage of virgins in the afterlife. It's a straight choice between reducing expenditure and laying people off. I don't like cutting wages but I'd hate to have to tell 3000 of my staff that they won't be able to blow themselves up."  Spokespersons for the union in the Northeast of England, Ireland, Wales and the entire Australian continent stated that the strike would not affect their operations as "There are no virgins in our areas anyway".  Apparently the drop in the number of suicide bombings has been put down to the emergence of the Scottish singing star, Susan Boyle - now that Muslims know what a virgin looks like that they are not so keen on going to paradise.

jobee   10 #497 Posted May 9, 2010 And here I might (if I but durst) reveal What Pranks are play'd in the Confessional: How haunted Virgins have been dispossest, And Devils were cast out to let in Priest: What Fathers act with Novices alone, And what to Punks in shriving Seats is done; Who thither flock to Ghostly Confessor, To clear old Debts, and tick with Heav'n for more. Oft have I seen these hallow'd Altars stain'd With Rapes, those Pews with Buggeries profan'd :  John Oldhams died 1683. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
jobee   10 #498 Posted May 24, 2010 Test o' Fires  by Michael Gibb  Placing Satan in their handbags they go 'a knocking on doors where they're least expected to trade the here-and-now for everlasting obscurity.  All for a Book filled with the occult, murderous intentions, and twisted realities where truth is falsehood and falsehood is gospel and a simple question merits the death penalty.  With the pitter-patter of tiny feet they approach with learned stealth caring for nothing but the opium high of testifying.  Overjoyed by rejection yet bewildered by disbelief their prayer orgies strafe the ethers in long arches of arrogance.  "We have the truth!" they proclaim boldly as legion more proclaim a differing story. I read their Book filled with insanity, conflict, and unnumbered depravities then look into their junkie eyes.  Nothing that I say can appease the Beast lurking behind the message with peace on the lips and dripping evil on the tongue.  Quickly closing the door on the message of death disguised in goodness, a sigh of relief passes my lips.  The wolves of the forest have been kept at bay for ,at least, one more day.  An Atheist's Christmas by Kim Cole  Can you hear the bells? Can you hear the bells? Can you hear them calling?  Listen to the bells Listen to the bells Look, the boundary's falling  I can smell the trees All so bright and green I can see the lights Twinkle in the night.  I can feel the joy In the girls and boys I can see the hope In the smiling folk  Can you hear the bells? Can you hear the bells? Can you hear them calling?  Listen to the bells Listen to the bells Look, the boundary's falling  It's the time of year To feel winter cheer All mankind is one All daughters and sons  We should remember Not just December Believer or non All of us are one.

Common sense I want to ignore.  I want exploitation, My voice to be heard And to spread disease Throughout the World.  I want riches, "It's god's word," i'll cry. While millions of people Fall down.

jobee   10 #502 Posted May 26, 2010 An Untrustworthy God  by François  Because I choose not to obey, To words spoken in metaphors, Left too open to interpretation, I am warned of condemnation. I never sought to make sense, Of these symbols left to chance, I will be my own creation, The results of my own conclusion.  I am deemed self-important, Egotistical and arrogant, I am told I believe in lies, As they plead to me with their cries, And their age-old rethoric, That leave my insides twisted and sick, On how they simply came to offer, These truths they hold to make life better.  There is strength in their numbers, Their many prophets of terror, Who seek to control the mind, Of any weakened soul they can find, To slowly mold the inner being, Into this great ideal they have foreseen, They dismiss other paths at first glance, As they speak of their holy tolerance.

jobee   10 #504 Posted May 31, 2010 The Mighty Electron Mighty electron, what should I make of you? With a spin of 1/2 you will form pairs, of oppisite spin leading to orbitals, chemistry, life and pears.  Birthed durring the big bang, your identy you may fain, bound with quarks as a neutron, but Beta decay will set you free, along with your neutrino partner, so that energy conservation you may maintain.  Perhaps you interact with the higgs field? So you may never attain the velocity of light, but emit it you will when, you drop down the difference, between orbital heights.  Where are you and how fast are you going? Mighty electron, I don't have a clue, with a certainty less then h bar over two.  A partical or a wave? Perhaps a wavical? A wave of what? probability, possibility, all of the above? Mighty electron you are juxtaposicle, chaotical and just a bit quizzical? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
