Joe Farah and Ray Comfort Prove Definitively That Jesus Is God

Sometimes a well-reasoned argument, in the hands of a skilled and compassionate conversant, can and does change minds – even lives.

While current psychological research shows that I have a better chance of lifting an X-Wing out of the swamps of Dagobah with the Force than I do of changing someone's mind with evidence and logic it is not technically impossible, and two lovable Evangelical knuckleheads have pulled off the not-technically-impossible.

Banana enthusiast Ray Comfort, via Old Testament prophet Joe Farah, has this completely sensical and provocative question for all of you wrongly-godded heathens:
Why do people use Jesus’ name when they curse? 
I'll wait for a moment while you clean your brains up off the wall and scoop them back into your head. Mind un-blown? Great! Let's continue:

The follow-up question is why – why Jesus’ name?  
lmost always the respondents are stumped. They don’t know.  
[In his video, Comfort] then asks [passers-by] if they ever use any other name in this way. Do they ever utter the name Muhammad as curse? How about Buddha? Or Allah? Or any other name considered holy by others? 
The answer is always no. 

In the interest of full disclosure, if I found myself buttonhooked by Ray (or his best buddy Kirk Cameron) for one of his little Gotcha Videos, I would be “stumped” by the question as well. Maybe flummoxed. Possibly gobsmacked.

Of course, I'm willing to bet that the fact that the United States is over 80% Christian, and that most of us grew up in a broadly Christian culture – if not an actual Christian home – might have something to do with it. I'd also bet that if Comfort played his little Jesus-flavored prank in a country that is NOT predominantly Christian, he might get different results.

Just rolling with Farah/Comfort's logic here, though, I'm wondering which variation on Jesus' name that I personally have used while swearing is most indicative of my secret Christianity. “Jesus Dogballs Christ?” “Jesus t*tty-f*cking Christ?” My good friend Kyland's beloved variation, “Jesus Skygod Christfather?” That last one has a certain ring to it, to be sure..

In this same column, Joe Farah repeats his previous SLAM DUNK PROOF that Jesus is Lord – namely, that the calendar we use is divided between Before Christ and Anno Domine. The fact that many different cultures use many different dating systems is obviously of no importance, keep moving, nothing to see here.

With this type of intellect at WND's helm, I can't wait for their hard-hitting investigative stories and scintillating opinion columns regarding stepping on a crack and breaking your mother's back.

Apparently, Liberals Are The Illuminati

By
posted 10/5/2012 by the Salt City Sinner Greetings, sheeple, from my stronghold high atop the Wells Fargo Building in downtown Salt City, where I type this before a massive, glowing bank of monitors that display the ongoing progress of my 23-point plan for complete social control. Whether you want to demonize me as a "liberal," or prefer the Glenn Beck update "progressive," we all know the truth, and it's time to pull the curtain aside: like all left-leaning persons, I am actually a member of the Illuminati. How else to explain how much power my side of the aisle wields in U.S. American politics? According to conservatives, liberals/the Illuminati control the media * , science * , academia in general * , public schools * , public radio * , pretty much anything "public," the courts * , and Hollywood * . Hell, we pretty much control everything except for scrappy, underdog operations like WND and Fox News, or quiet, marginalized voices like...

REGULARLY UPDATED Posted on 1/9/2020  - UPDATED 2/4/2025 MY FULL-LENGTH   NONFICTION DEBUT! BLACK SUNRISE ON PISS EARTH: FASCISM, NIHILISM, AND THE 21ST CENTURY OCCULT Black Sunrise on Piss Earth: Fascism, Nihilism, and the 21st Century Occult is a nonfiction, anti-fascist, punk rock, and no-holds-barred look at the role that nihilism and the postmodern occult have played in the development of fascist movements in the United States, Great Britain, Germany, and elsewhere – a coordinated movement I call the Fascist Internationale. The manuscript’s title is a reference to Piss Earth 2025, a piece of fascist agitprop that I respond to, using my refutation as a framework for looking at the dangerous, deadly, and dumbass ideas undergirding everything from QAnon and Christian Identity to Nazi Satanist- worshipers the Order of Nine Angles and portions of the Asatru (Norse Pantheon worship) and chaos magick communities.

A Sinner's History of Utah: The Commercial Street Red Light District

By
posted on 8/12/2015 by the Salt City Sinner I moved from Utah to the American South as a teenager, and pretty quickly learned that if you hail from the Beehive State, there are a series of extremely dumb questions you will be asked when people first meet you that would not be asked of someone from, say, South Dakota or Maine.  “Are you Mormon?” is obviously the first one – and a pretty reasonable question, all things considered. That is usually followed up with some sort of question about polygamy, however, which is lazy and ignorant and gets old remarkably quickly. Sometimes I would be asked if one can buy alcohol in Utah. This is, again, a not entirely unreasonable thing to ask, especially since many of these interactions took place back in the days of private clubs and membership cards – but it did strike me as a little silly given that I was often asked about Utah and booze while going to college in Conway, Arkansas, which is a town located in a dry county where sales ...
