Steven Wright and A New Pope

One of my all time favourite comedians is Steven Wright. I find myself in stitches almost every time I see one of his shows, or read some of his quips. So, in an effort to push some of you readers into a fit of raucous laughter, I have embedded a wee clip of his Comic Relief appearance. Enjoy!

And since this blog really wouldn't be complete without a little stab at institutional religion, I present you with the following brilliant little mock-up called, "A New Pope".

Two Rabbits

Work, Pray, and Lager

On one of the chat-boards I participate on, a member was concerned that his job was in danger. The situation is simply that his two bosses -- one an evangelical Christian, the other an orthodox Jew -- were requiring that each work-day start in prayer. To add, the employees were informed that they would be required to lead prayer.

Being as the concerned board-member is an atheist, he wanted to seek out advice for how to handle the situation.

The most creative response so far has been the following:

Recite this prayer:

"Our lager, Which art in barrels, Hallowed be thy drink. Thy will be drunk, I will be drunk, At home as it is in the tavern. Give us this day our foamy head, And forgive us our spillages, As we forgive those who spill against us. And lead us not to incarceration, But deliver us from hangovers. For thine is the beer, The bitter, The lager.

Ramen."

My abdomen now hurts from laughing too hard.

What would you suggest this atheist do?

Yeah. Okay.

Don't you wish we could have some more 80's spandex-metal bands again? Don't you miss them?

It Speaks For Itself

Totally Me

That's exactly what I would've done if I was given that question! Glad to know I'm not alone.

Mr. Deity and the Really Hard Time

I'm a big fan of Mr. Deity. I find myself howling in laughter most episodes. You really have to experience Mr. Deity for yourself, however. One caveat, though: his humour is ironic and playfully cynical. So if you're super-sensitive about your religious beliefs, brace yourself to be offended.

LOL!

Couple copulates. Kinda.

Shout-out to The Onion for this bit of hilarity!

A Stunning Senior Moment

Thank you, Uncle Steve!

ROFLMAO!

Now here's a brilliant piece of work detailing the Dawkins legacy. I almost feel vindicated enough by this presentation to finish reading the claptrap that is The God Delusion.

Hilarious!

Remember the atheist bus ad campaign? Here's a humorous mock-up of the same thing: the Atheist Bust Ad Campaign.



Thanks to the Friendly Atheist for this one!
