I've addressed the complex issue whether atheists have feelings or not in this blog entry:

From the Onion:
I know that people will argue that believing in God isn’t about proof—it’s about having faith. But if God flooded the earth and delivered the Israelites from slavery in Egypt, then He’s certainly not opposed to intervening in human affairs. Which just begs the question of why He hasn’t taken us all up to a sweet lake house, filled up a few coolers with brews, and just let everyone get shitfaced. After all, wouldn’t God want us to appreciate Him and be happy by playing beer pong and quarters all night long?

See this post for rhe rest:

Jazz is God's favourite, favoured music. It says so in the bible.

I though it was jizz.

Whoops, no. That's his priests' favourite.

I thought his favorite music was the beating of vile drums and the thin monotonous whine of accursed flutes.
Yeah well that's just, like, your opinion, man.

Vatican still not allowing Jesus a wife. I finally got the Virgin Mary bit: there has never been an erect penis in her vagina.
Vatican newspaper calls fragment referring to Jesus' wife 'a fake'

King and Harvard acknowledge that "nothing is known about the discovery of the fragment." King has said it was given to her by an unnamed donor.

"All the known data about its origin and circulation need to be publicly disclosed and thus made available for scholarly discussion, as is the norm in the handling of manuscripts. Is there some reason we cannot just be told?" Depuydt said.

What is the significance of the watch tower and watchman in Isaiah? Dave Van Ronk critisized Dylan for this imagery.

And what of the Jehova's witnesses? It's part of the apocalypse?

JW's have defined their own tower:

Symbolism
The symbol of the Jehovah's Witnesses is the Watchtower. Watchtower magazine's mission statement explains that like a watchtower of old, the Witnesses' Watchtower allows us to view the significance of events in the light of biblical prophecies.

I have a short review of Shermer's The Believing brain. I'm going to have to remove it, reword to exclude conspiracies, and repost. A conspiracy theorist took over my review with his comments.

The book is not much an improvement over God Delusion in the religion chapter.

Good to see the speedometer at zero there, but it would've been funny to see it a 60. :)
