Comments: Atheist Delivers Powerful Testimony Of Coming To Believe Life Has No Purpose

"Literally nothing matters at all,” she added with a smile....

Does pain matter?

I believe she is young, naive, and dangerously mistaken.

Deeply disappointing, though not surprising in today's environment, that anyone would hand her a microphone.

Anyway, my imaginary superhero can whip your imaginary superhero's ass.

From a Crisis Magazine article on the death of Robert Arquette:

Sitting on a bed in what looks like a single occupancy hotel, which is probably his final charity apartment, Arquette is decked out in his exaggerated drag make-up as he opines on the meaning of life.

I think maybe the meaning of life would be pointless. Why try to figure out something that you’re never going to know. Okay? It’s futile. Anybody who spends their time, even people who write books, and philosophers, and religious people, waste my time and yours. Okay, because it’s just like making up stories. Hey! What if it’s this? What if it’s that? What if it’s that? Oh, maybe it’s this? Hah, great. You don’t know, till you’re dead. You will die. That is the only thing we know and that’s you will be dead. Very soon.

Arquette is laughing and campily sneering.

Asked what he thinks happens after death, he says, “I think if there is life beyond life, I think it’s whatever you expect it to be. I think, if I were to gamble, if I were a gambling lady, and I wanted to make a bet on what life would be like after death, it’s sort of like a tear in the ocean. Very retarded. I am sure somebody else already said that, some stupid philosopher. I really do think it’s just like you’re … they say that energy never goes away. I don’t know if that’s true.”

Uhh....y'all do realize that's satire, right?

That website is a find, Christian snark with a pitch-perfect ear. Spend a few hours over there and laugh out loud, realizing that the more you know about churches the funnier it gets.

One small slice is this one:

1 The words of the Teacher, son of David, king in Jerusalem:
2 “Meaningless! Meaningless!”
says the Teacher.
“Utterly meaningless!
Everything is meaningless.”
3 What do people gain from all their labors
at which they toil under the sun?
4 Generations come and generations go,
but the earth remains forever.
5 The sun rises and the sun sets,
and hurries back to where it rises.
6 The wind blows to the south
and turns to the north;
round and round it goes,
ever returning on its course.
7 All streams flow into the sea,
yet the sea is never full.
To the place the streams come from,
there they return again.
8 All things are wearisome,
more than one can say.
The eye never has enough of seeing,
nor the ear its fill of hearing.
9 What has been will be again,
what has been done will be done again;
there is nothing new under the sun.
10 Is there anything of which one can say,
“Look! This is something new”?
It was here already, long ago;
it was here before our time.
11 No one remembers the former generations,
and even those yet to come
will not be remembered
by those who follow them.
Ecclesiastes, chapter 1

JFTR, The Babylon Bee is a satire site, not a real news site.

OTOH, the mark of good satire is difficulty discerning it from real events.

Nowadays, who can even tell the difference. Oh yeah, comedy is against the law if it smacks of truth.

You got that right.

Well, well, well! It looks like a new Christian satire site in the style of the (now defunct?) Wittenburg Door. Thank you for the find. I will bookmark it forthwith.

Well that's a relief. Belief in God was the only thing which convinced me that I shouldn't kill people whenever they became a nuisance.


Now that we all know better, we should just wipe out inconvenient or annoying people.


Makes sense to me anyways.


Atheists are fools who saw through the branch upon which they themselves are sitting.
