Happy Fairy Tales For Adults Day
Today is the start of both Easter and Passover, two of the biggest hoaxes bought into by the majority of the masses.
There is no contemporary evidence that Jesus ever existed. The first historical mention of him was generations after he supposedly lived.
As for the Exodus. There is no evidence that Jews even existed prior to 550 BC. Great back story though, and somewhat believable for the people at the time who wanted to know the purpose of their religion. People were constantly thrown out of communities and countries, and that continues today. Invasions and war often lead to refugees, and many micro Exoduses. Making it of epic proportions made the story of the Exodus more appealing to those who wanted to believe. But really, is it any different than the back story created by the Scientologists or Mormons (well, at least Joseph Smith existed, but even his contemporaries couldn't prove the stuff he was saying).
I still don't get why the Easter Bunny is associated with the story of Jesus. Perhaps it relates to a lost Gospel. The Gospel of the Easter Bunny.
After Jesus' lifeless body was taken down from the cross, he was placed in a giant egg in a cave. A large rabbit came by and sat on the egg. Three days later Jesus hatched.
I wonder if Christians today would believe that if say Mark wrote about it.

The Old And New Testament: What Really Didn't Happen
Good to see that The Bible Unearthed and The God Who Wasn't There are both available in their entirety on Youtube again.
For over 40 years, I assumed there was a historical Jesus and Moses. I'm sure a lot of younger atheists assume the same thing. It took Mel Gibson's Passion to put me on a bit of a detective mission.
It started innocently enough, the fact he portrayed Jesus as a dude with blond wavy hair got me wondering what Jesus really looked like. I started doing Google searches, and I found there is not one shred of contemporary evidence that Jesus ever existed at all.
I then looked into a historical Moses and evidence for the Exodus. Nothing...nada. Both Judaism and Christianity are based on super stars who most likely never existed. Back stories were invented for both religions. I guess they sounded reasonable to oppressed individuals in search of a reason to be here and a reason why things were so bad for them on earth.

Rick Santorum Wants To Change All U.S. Birth Certificates
Breaking News from either Weasel Zippers or American Thinker:
If he wins the 2012 Presidential election, Rick Santorum has vowed to have all U.S. Birth Certificates (including Obama's questionable birth certificate) show a birth date 9 months earlier than what is previously on the certificate.
"Life begins at inception, it is nothing but a complete fraud to state that one's birth date is the day the cord is cut," Santorum told a gaggle of white Baptist men in Ohio today.
Under Santorum's proposal, the child's mother must apply for a birth certificate and social security number no later than the second missed period, even though the sex of the fetus can't be determined until the 4th or 5th month.
"This may limit the names of children to Pat, Casey, Leslie and Jordan, but that is a small price to pay in order to finally make abortions worthy of a death sentence," an uncontrollably blinking Santorum stated.
Santorum also explained that there is another plus to this when it comes to adding 9 months to all American's ages is that it will increase the life expectancy of all Americans. The USA will move up to around 28th amongst all world countries. This will close the gap between the USA and other countries with successful Universal Heath Care Systems. "This should help kill Obamacare once and for all," a confident Santorum said.
In related news, Santorum also wants Congress to pass the Marriage Is For Procreative Sex Only Law. If passed, it will make it impossible for gays to get married. It also makes it impossible for infertile individuals to marry, as well as post menopausal women. "Again, this is a small price to pay to prevent sick sinning homosexuals from walking down the aisle together," a now frothing Santorum stated, "Jack and Jill went up the hill, not Jack and Peter."
Editor's Note: And to think, it isn't even April 1 yet.

Atheism Is Not A Religion
It gets worse in US election years, many people spew rhetoric which includes making up new definitions for established words or concepts. The idea is to get under ones skin. I find it funny when theists claim atheism is a religion. First, unless it is in the context like "baseball is a religion," calling atheism a religion is a total fail. Religion requires belief in a higher power AND also requires faith that the stuff associated with that higher power isn't made up...in other words, there is no evidence support the higher power or supernatural force(s) that is the core of the particular religious belief.
The second thing is that those who claim atheism is a religion are generally theists who are trying to piss off an atheist by trying to make atheism seem foolish. The ironic thing is that the theist is kind of saying that religion is a foolish thing.
Anyway, Bill Maher put out the atheism is a religion fire much better than I can:
As for Mitt Romney's conversion of his dead father in law to Mormonism, I have a feeling that we haven't heard the end of it. Wait until he becomes the GOP nominee. How is Romney going to defend the Mormons who convert dead Jews?
I'm curious though. Was Romney required to open the grave of his dead father in law prior to converting him? Does Romney own designer grave digging jeans? These questions need to be answered.

Senator Boisvenu Has Nothing To Apologize For
Seriously, what is with my country these days? There is the left and there is the far left. The far left is full of wingnuts who try to blame society or other external factors for the actions of criminals. No, criminals are not victims. Unless someone is mentally ill, and I mean really mentally ill, the criminal is completely responsible for their acts.
Pierre-Hugues Boisvenu told reporters Wednesday the most heinous of criminals and ``assassins'' with no hope of rehabilitation should ``have the right to a rope in his cell and make a decision about his or her life.''
I would agree with the comment from anyone (Boisvenu's daughter was raped and murdered in 2002), and the fact that other politicians are jumping all over his comments taking a hissy fit just makes me feel less happy about being Canadian. No need to get sensitive when it comes to criminals who carry out heinous acts.
What doesn't make sense though, is that Boisvenu is against the death penalty. Over 60% of Canadians are for the death penalty.
Offering despicable criminals the right to choose sounds like a great idea. But if they choose to live, I see nothing wrong with the state deciding differently, as long as there is 100% certainty that the right person is behind bars. It is a great deterrent, since murder and rape are choices. You should lose the right to be rehabilitated when you rape a child or commit first degree murder.
I can't believe some of the comments here.
