Yeah this black book sounds interesting, Maybe i'll be able to meet some hot atheist chicks. Is that why the "uncle kept in the attic" keeps this book? try to score with atheist chicks? I mean, I've often thought of building my own little black book. But It's somewhat sad that I can't get past the first 3 pages.

Meh, On to another point, Is calling a monotheistic god with 3 personalities a schizophrenic blasphemous? Lets try some others.

Jesus: Now you know he has to be an atheist after what he went through, i mean come on, a few days of torture, your friends abandoning you, Nobody could believe in dog after that.

Big Daddy: Look at me look at me! I'm a very special god, I can destroy cultures, spread suffering and ignorance worldwide and lets not forget, make people hear voices, although they tend to die fairly soon after doing so.

By that approximation, it would be better to do shrooms that look for the Big Daddy. After all at least you can get past the Shrooms.

Holy Ghost: Ghost as in dead? what was it when it was alive? Ohh i'm betting somebody was doing shrooms when they came up with this idea.

Here's a hint, look at old records of what Incense used to be, before the crackdown on hallucinogenic drugs. I'm not kidding, No i don't have the link infront of me, do your own research.

Suspect the Trinity part was tacked on much later on (3rd century? 4th century?) in order to make Christianity a monotheistic religion out of a seemingly obvious tripartied one...
You should read A History of God by Karen Armstrong. She does a good job of explaining how the "foundin fathers" of Christianity didn't really have a clear understanding of the the trinity meant either; in fact, there were a lot of votes against including the trinity explanation in Christian doctrines, because some of the founders flat-out thought it didn't make sense.

Since the 'ole Holy Ghost was the one of the Trinity which is One, and thus was God, that "came upon" the Holy Mother Mary to impregnate her with Jesus, another one of the Trinity which is One, and thus was God, should his name perhaps be changed to the "Holy Mother F****R?"

"Yahweh" is a sound you would expect a dying frog to croak.

I dunno, Jealous seems like a bloody stupid name, too.

Gee, B.H., people go nuts cuz they committed the unpardonable sin? Hell, all it took for me to have raging major depression and suicidal ideation was becoming a Christian and hanging out with them, constantly telling me how worthless I was. Didn't even get into those finer points of theology, just basic original sin was enough to send me cracking off to the county funny farm, where I didn't think about the knives in the kitchen drawer constantly because i was not at home..............

Good enough?

Not too shabby a blasphemy there.

Why, thank you. I was kinda pleased with that one myself although I did borrow the "Holy Spigot" idea from the Mr. Bean movie.
