I find it ironic that people who are against things that cause sexual thoughts are generally fundamentalist Christians who also believe you should be fruitful and multiply.
A Christian will say... "I believe God created me in one day" Yeah, looks liked He rushed it.
I wish I could meet a Christian who would proselytize to me, but they keep running away from me. I wanna talk to you all.
I don't know what you all believe, and I don't really care ... but you have to admit that beliefs are odd. Lots of Christians wear crosses around their necks ... you really think when Jesus comes back, he ever wants to see a f-king cross?
A lotta Christians wear crosses 'round their necks; do you think if Jesus comes back he ever wants to see another cross?
I think it's interesting how people act on their beliefs. A lot of Christians, for instance, wear crosses around their necks. Nice sentiment, but do you think when Jesus comes back, he's really going to want to look at a cross?
They also have a sense of irony, which America doesn't have seeing as it's being run by fundamentalists who take things literally.
There is no such thing as death; life is only a dream, and we are the imagination of ourselves.
I'm not really a heavy smoker any more. I only get through two lighters a day now.
Good comedy helps people know they're not alone. Great comedy provides an answer.
The whole image is that eternal suffering awaits anyone who questions God's infinite love. That's the message we're brought up with, isn't it? Beleive or die! Thank you, forgiving Lord, for all those options.
If I thought the Jews killed God, I'd worship the Jews.
To make marijuana against the law is like saying God made a big mistake.
Isn’t that weird, we’ve made nature against the law. That’s how un-natural we’ve become.
