Atheism + Jehovah's Witnesses

The best thing about atheism is that I don't have to devote much energy into being an atheist. Recently read Richard Dawkins' The God Delusion (well, I gave up towards the very end... section didn't concern me). I was particularly interested in one area where Dawkins highlights particular sections of the Bible which aren't so nice. Long story short, I wanted to see what the religios would offer regarding incidences where rape is supposedly condoned.

One particular blog refuted that the taking of virgin women does not equal rape. Atheists see what they want to see. No rape is mentioned at all in the Bible, they say. It's called reading between the lines. But that takes me back to how I started this entry. I don't give too much care. Religious crazies can do what they want. While it is rather regrettable that I can't save any precious children from religion, in truth, I think human stupidity is going to win the war anyway. Maybe that's what being human is all about. Gah, that's kinda stupid, haha.

But yeah, I'm going to go on not caring. If I come across someone close (nah) who is religious, maybe I'll try beat it out of them.

I've been playing nice with these Jehovah's Witnesses. Next time they come up, I'm going to admit myself as a sinner. A huge sinner. If they try to save me, I'll proposition them. We'll go to Sodom. On my bicycle.

Can't think of an interesting title

Crash (1996)
That was hot. I was turned on. I'll never have sex with a car accident victim the same way again. Couldn't make much of the plot though... it was high brow pornography! Made for compelling viewing, probably because I'm a sick, sick pervert.

Very nice to see Elias Koteas. As someone on IMDB pointed out, he "was awesome as Casey Jones and looks like Christopher Meloni". Koteas is my godfather. He's been there for me since I was a child, haha.

MASH (1976)
This was confusing. The humour went here, there, then back here again, and then took another diversion.

Juno (2007)
The lingo killed me. The delivery of the lingo was worse. Juno is so quirky, so out there, so wicked. She's also too quirky, too out there, bla. There is no inate coolness about Juno, everything about her felt forced. I blame Ellen Page. She played "pretend cool", rather than "cool".

- I bet that half of the appeal to audience viewers was that burger phone. Teenage girls dig that sort of stuff.
- Michael Cera as a runner? Get the fuck out of here.
- Jennifer Garner is hot.

Poor human's Napoleon Dynamite. I also dislike this film because on Buddy Holly's last.fm artist page, "Dearest" is the top track instead of "Peggy Sue". Why? Because "Dearest" was on the soundtrack to the film. Great.
