Yesterday,you received twenty children at the door of Helheim. Since you,Dark Mother Hel,are the special guardian of children taken too soon,I know you will welcome them w/open arms. I ask that you give these kids the hugs,kisses and loving pats their parents left behind in this mortal realm can no longer bestow upon them. When the time is right,you will release them so they can be reborn into a much better,brighter world. Blessed be )O(

Above are my two favorite vids about the underworld goddess,Hel. I have plans to post links to info regarding her later.

Hypocrisy w/Holier-Than-Thou Hicks
There are many titles that can describe this particular situation:
Deliver me from School Prayer
Yahweh or the Highway
Fucktardmentalism
Pray Atheism Away
No Kid Cometh Under the Fucktard except by Me
Anyway,the ignorant rednecks understanding of First Amendment rights is that it only applies to other narrow-minded hicks. Keep your damn prayers at home and in your fucking churches! School prayer is unconstitutional for a reason.

If this doesn't offend you,remember this: Your hard-earned tax dollars are wasted on their hypocrisy (forcing their arrogant agenda into government,etc.).

Brave Merida and Artemis/Diana
I've been meaning to do this analysis earlier,but I just got too preoccupied. The week before I purchased Brave on DVD five months after seeing it at the movies. I couldn't help but notice so many parallels between Merida,her story and the Greek goddess,Artemis.
*WARNING:* If you plan on seeing the film and don't want spoilers,don't read any further. For those of you have already seen it or don't care about the aforementioned spoilers,proceed:
Merida ultimately desires freedom and excels at archery. Artemis is an avowed virgin and an excellent marksman w/her silver bow and arrows. Both prefer the solitude of the wilderness and enjoy challenging gender roles. Bears play an important role in the lives of both. In addition to Queen Elinor's transformation into a bear,there are a few tussles w/a demon bear called Mor'du (who used to be a prince of a forgotten kingdom). Bears are sacred to Artemis and in one version of the story of Callisto,a nymph and one-time follower,she was turned into the bear by the goddess as punishment when she became pregnant by the latter's father,Zeus and later became the constellation Ursa Major. Also,in the story of the huntress,Atlanta,the goddess sent a she-bear to nurse the infant when she was abandoned by her parents.
Maybe I'm just connecting A to B when they're not really connected,but it's something I can't ignore.

Giving Thanks to the Goddesses (and some Gods)
Thank you,Demeter/Ceres for the bread,cereal,fruits and veggies I'm able to eat.
I bless Freya,Aphrodite/Venus,Aine and Bast for all things sensual and beautiful. When the time is right,I know you will lead me to the love of my life.
Artemis/Diana,as a single woman,I have been under your charge since unloading my ex,a womanizer. Thank you for my freedom.
Morrigan,thank you for my strength and granting me girl power. I couldn't have made it through the tough times w/o you. I know you claimed me from birth because you saw the fight in me even when the odds didn't look good.
Apollo,you bring the sun everyday. Without your gift,we couldn't eat or live.
Great Hera/Juno,you battle patriarchy on a regular basis and help me do the same. You and the other goddesses delivered me from the evil of Yahweh. I can never repay you enough for that.
Athena/Minerva,thank you for the gift of wisdom. Who knows where I'd be w/o it? Maybe in Yahweh's abusive grasp? Don't even want to think about it!
Lilith,you gave me sooooooooooooooo much. Not only did you deliver me from an evil church,you gave me what I need to free myself from the constraints of patriarchy itself.
Kwan Yin for her compassion and mercy... and so many others.

Mitt Romney,Todd Akin and Rich Mourdock Get What they Deserve and Then Some
Unless you've been living in a cave the past two days ago,you know by now that Mitt Romney,Todd Akin,and Richard Mourdock lost the election. The American people (women esp.) just said no to these self-righteous misogynists. It's very important for Christians who support these assholes to believe that followers of Christianity are above atheists,polytheists and anyone outside their circle. It's the only religion that condemns pride while breeding arrogance. Bible thumpers turn the world into a pyramid and they put themselves and like-minded individuals on top. Everybody else deserves to be on the bottom. They think of their religion as a magic cloak that makes them impenetrable. Romney and his missus thought they shouldn't have to show their tax returns,insisting it's against their Mormon faith. Also,who could forget Ann's uppity statement, "We've given all you people all you need to know." Obviously,the Romneys thought they were royalty and no one had the right to question them in any way. Mitt might've got away w/murder in prep school when he wasn't disciplined for cutting of his gay class mate's hair while four or five of his goons held the poor kid,but it wasn't going to be Romney's dirty little secret when he decided he wanted the presidency. Worst of all,Mitt was unrepentant,writing it off as a prank or "forgetting" the incident. John Lauber may have passed away,but the truth didn't die with him. Sooner or later Maat will get you,and,on election night,it happened to three men who deserved it more than anything.
I have too many cherry-picking evangelists in my family and I hope that every homophobic conservative stuck their heads in their toilets and wept.

After Today's News,I only Have One Thing to Say...
Fuck you,Mourdock! If you get lynched by a bunch of pro-choice women and rape victims,it'll be not the will of your misogynistic,tyrannical god,but the will of goddesses like Hera and Artemis.

Praise Be to Lilith

Lilith is the sworn enemy of patriarchy. That's what makes her awesome! The more the right seeks to suppress freedom,equality and sexuality,the more empowering Lilith is to those of us fighting for these things.

Why Religion is Dangerous,Ignorant and Completely Backwards
Here are some good videos is why putting all one's faith in religion is anything but wise:

Politely put,religion makes the world's problems worse than what they need to be. Religion should be considered a WMD in and of itself because it's been and still being used as a tool of evil,destruction and control. It's what the selfish,power-hungry and bigoted use to push their own agenda,justify bullying anyone who doesn't fit in,and whip up fear and frenzy in like-minded,ignorant individuals.

More Reasons You Might be a Fucktard...
25. You like to go on how faith deters crime yet can't put your finger on why the US has the highest murder rate.
26. You fail to see the humor in jokes like, "If I'm somehow made from dirt,then God must be full of $h*t," or "I gave myself to Jesus,but now he never calls."
27. you're baffled by the way small children are capable of retaining info and distinguishing fantasy from reality,yet still insist on treating them like cute,impressionable idiots.
28. You're quick to say Harry Potter is of the devil while failing to recognize that Yahweh's actions in the OT are remarkably similar to that of the series' arch villain,Lord Voldemort.

How about Commending Eve Instead of Condemning Her?
Contrary to what the bible preaches,Eve was the mother of human wisdom as opposed to a seductress or fall girl for the Fall of Man:
www.lunaea.com/goddess/wisdom/eve.html
Nothing is more insulting to a conservative,patriarchal moron than a woman in power:
www.lunaea.com/goddess/power/hera.html
Hera,Eve,I salute you! I also salute Sandra Fluke,Hillary Clinton,Michelle Obama,Elizabeth Edwards and any other woman who refuses to get back in the kitchen,tolerate humiliation from cheating husbands,and/or stay home and keep her mouth shut when the right-wing idiots in power try to keep her in her place.
If you're still not convinced Eve deserves to be applauded,think of it this way: Without her,we'd all be running around naked grunting at eachother. Also,think how much the world would suck w/o Christian Dior,Vera Wang,Bob Mackie,Gucci or,for those of us who work nine-to-five,those affordable Levis and Chic jeans worn everyday.

You Might Be a Fucktard If...
I'm dedicating this list to Brother Kenny,the pastor at Grandma and my aunt's church due to his manipulative grasp on his flock. You suck @$$ in every way,but I got away from your poisonous influence and that of your so-called god. To all my church-going paternal relatives,I feel sorry that you can't see the world or the people (non-religious,gay,etc.) beyond it w/o comparing either to your fancy buildings of wood,stone and crosses,your church group or your favorite false idol,the Bible. Mom,Dad and I,as well as Aunt Jean and her kids,have moved away from that fanatical nonsense you guys still cling to. But I've come to understand how you think. Otherwise,I could've never made this hilarious list.
But,unfortunately,you can't change people. So,I intend to laugh off the tension w/this list and hopefully entertain others,who may have been in a similar situation,in the process.
1. You can't live down missing one church service even if you look like a walking corpse
2. The best way to relieve sexual frustration is shooting possums,squirrels,etc. out back
3. There are only two kinds of women in the world
4. You're convinced the inability to control female sexuality foreshadows anarchy
5. You're pissed off when South Park rips on Christianity and Jesus but are convinced it's okay for you to trash talk about religions like Buddhism,Taoism and Wicca.
6. You think your Jehovah deserves the utmost respect by others,yet you're permitted,as a Christian,to diss Odin,Thor,Zeus,Osiris,Shiva and Dagda.
7. You view neopagans,Buddhists,Shintoists,Hinduists,spiritualists,etc as ignorant,beneath you and going to hell when you know next-to-nothing about those religions... and have no desire to understand them.
8. You view Loki,Set,and Hades as equivalent to your religion's devil based on biased info spoon fed to you by your equally misinformed pastor.
9. You regard Hades,Persephone,Hel and underworld deities from other pantheons as evil based on the teachings of intolerant,patriarchal Christian doctrines (over 700 years old) by those hellbent on converting and bullying nonbelievers.
10. You think Catholics and Orthodox believers are idol worshipers
11. You're convinced that the Bible is a better authority on the law than the US Constitution
12. You whine that video games are corrupting America's youth but are quick to make excuses regarding the Bible's poisonous influence on the human race for centuries.
13. You judge three photos showing a similar scenario thru racist-colored glasses: Arab kid learning to shoot a gun w/Dad is pure evil. The one w/the black son and dad is gangsta,but the one w/the backwoods father and son is quality time.
14. You view Xmas as a time of giving and make donations to the less fortunate around that time. Then you behave like a Scrooge by complaining how your extra tax dollars are being wasted on those same people 340 days a year until the next Xmas rolls around. :-D
15. You preach to your teenage daughter(s) about the virtues of chastity while hypocritically advising them to save themselves for Jesus (and he refused to get laid).
16. You go on and on about how dumb,degenerate,and godless the younger generations are when,in fact,they're really more educated,less racist,less homophobic,use critical thinking and realize your generation is the one living in the Dark Ages :-D
17. Right-wing always constitutes what's right... despite evidence to the contrary
18. You point out the evil natures of Mao,Stalin,and Pol Pot and the antagonistic nature of Madelyn Murray O'Hare as you hammer home the fact they were atheists all the while dismissing the non-violent and/or generous dispositions of atheists like Richard Dawkins,Christopher Hitchens,Joaquin Phoenix and Daniel Radcliffe.
19. You presume playing Harry Potter is the main reason Daniel Radcliffe is an atheist (and the Bible hates sorcery).
20. You convince yourself and like-minded idiots that Radcliffe converted to atheism during or shortly after filming the first Harry Potter.
21. You bring up the fall of Rome by insisting the USA will go the same way if gay marriage is legal. However,you can't fathom why Canada,the Netherlands and the UK haven't collapsed by now.
22. The war on Xmas is twenty-five days but the war on Halloween is all year 'round.
23. It's okay to tell your co-workers to, "Go to hell" but not the other way around
24. Your reaction to Jehovah's/Yahweh's OT proclamation a man impregnate his widowed sister-in-law if her late husband produced no legitimate heir is "WTF?" but you have no problem banging yours while your brother is away for the weekend.
I have little doubt this list will be updated soon. Keep an eye out.

Marcus Bridgstocke Accesses the Ten Commandments
They say ridicule is a potent weapon and protection against evil like Satan (not that I buy into his existance anymore). Well,since Yahweh/Jehovah pretty evil himself,ridicule ought to work equally well against him. Anyway,I found this Marcus Bridgstocke video on youtube I wanted to share. Pretty damn hilarious:

My Intentions for this Site
My desire is to make this blog serious and funny. Here's the 4-1-1 on what visitors can expect: videos championing sense,reason,critical thinking and science as well as comedic ones pointing out the absurdity of the Bible's outdated traditions,attitudes,as well as other bullshit it preaches.
I also post lists,be it any of my own making as well as that of others I think are deserving of attention. I also link my favorite pictures related to the topic(s) on hand,videos,etc.
Pagan art,music,poetry,invocation,etc. will pop up from time to time as well.
I assure you if a vid,picture,art,etc. belongs to someone other than me,I promise I will give them credit 100%.

My Painful Story of Abuse at the Hands of the Christian God and How I Broke Free
Why anybody (particularly my paternal relatives) would follow and worship this sadistic,Machiavellian,and abusive entity is beyond my comprehension. Like many abusive control freaks,the being monotheists refer to as Yahweh,Jehovah,Allah (among other titles) eroded my self-esteem (no one can ever live up to His impossible standards),lied to me (as he lied to Abraham,Adam and Eve and others),made promises (eternal life and the kingdom of Heaven) He had no intention of keeping (making it so damn hard,if not impossible,for just anybody to obtain,no matter how much they try to get things right) and temporarily driving a wedge between myself and my mother long after realizing Christianity's so-called just,benevolent and wise god and that church's pastor were nothing more than corrupt narcissists who got an ego high off manipulating their flock and rewarding that devotion with little more than an empty IOU (the Kingdom of Heaven) .
The god of Abraham is a depraved despot,corrupt con artist,and abusive parent/spouse all in one package. In the OT,He slaughters innocent children (Exodus),admits being turned on by the smell of burning flesh,allows women to be raped,only to add insult to injury by insisting she be married off to her own rapist and let's not forget the death penalty for gays,non-Christians,teens who get drunk on the weekends and sass the parents,anyone dumb enough to work on Sunday (less cops on the beat would be a dream-come-true for any career criminal) as well as that adorable baby calf who was carnally abused by that mentally deranged ranch hand on J.R.'s farm last year down in Phoenix,Arizona.
Anyone who considers a god who engages in this kind of stuff "just,wise and benevolent",I'd hate to know what constitutes "unfairness,ignorance and depravity" in their world. And any book that sanctions slavery,homophobia,misogyny,child abuse,ethnic cleansing,torture (for an individual's,divine or otherwise,sadistic enjoyment),religious intolerance,domestic violence and other various atrocities should NEVER be classified as holy scripture.
That was at least fourteen years before. I have since been been delivered from Yahweh's evil claws and my emotional wounds have been tended by the Goddess who accepts me for who I am instead of telling who I should be as well as helping me discover my true spirit (one that the Christian god and that manipulative pastor would never allow).
This site is not directed at Christians who love,treat others the way they want to be treated and are generally decent all-around people,but toward the holier-than-thou,quick-to-judge,Armageddon-obsessing hypocrites who arrogantly proclaim everyone's going to hell except them. As C.S. Lewis himself put it, "There's nothing worse than a Christian who tortures in the name of religion."
