Click through the article for the link to McCann’s welcome video.  I have a total lady boner for Mad Men and for company’s with a sense of humor.

I put that towel on my bed for the cats so they wouldn’t get hair on my blankets. It looks like they didn’t get the memo.

Brats.

Also, something I’ve noticed, why is it that Atheists are so against Christianity and not just overall religion? I mean, I know the Christians are the most noisiest but it seems less like a “I don’t believe that a higher power put me here” but more like a “those damn Christians, I hate them!” It’s not like they’re the only ones that have caused blood shed over it.

I don’t know that Atheists are mostly against Christianity, but it’s a bit naive to say well, OTHER religions have caused bloodshed too, considering that Christianity in it’s various forms has been the largest faith and most violent. Europe, the Americas, India, Africa (continent), Russia, etc, etc, etc. The number of atrocities committed in the name of the Christian God is pretty insane. I mean shit, the US as a nation is pretty well divided by Christianity in some senses, with the Republican party and hardcore conservatives clinging to a “Christian Nation” ideal.

But whatever.

When was the last time a Hindu got in your face and told you you wouldn’t be “trading up” in your next life because you didn’t believe what they did?

When was the last time a Jew told you your personal life choices were wrong and that you would suffer in the afterlife because of it?

I could go on, but you see my point.

eh, well honestly you picked a bad example in Hindu.  There is major Hindu caste violence in India, including massive human rights violations against the indigenous peoples.  Also, the caste system is known to breed sex-crimes and racist violence as well as caste supremecy and gang like territorial disputes.

So you know, just because it doesn’t affect YOU, directly doesn’t mean it isn’t happening.

And I’ve had plenty of Jews tell me my personal life choices were wrong and in fact have varying degrees of leniency on, say, abortion depending on  whether it’s a modern or more traditional path.  Generally speaking though, Jewish law only permits it in the case of direct harm to the mother.  SO you know.  There’s that.

And don’t even get me started on the Jains who wear masks so as to avoid killing small insects and bacteria by breathing them in through their mouths, but allow major violence in self defense.  so that whole non violence thing.  Not so non.  Rational yes, but that is the most peace loving religion I can think of.

Then there’s the violence within the Sikh community.

We’re not even talking yet about violence between these non-Christian communities.

So I’m going to have to respectfully disagree with you on this, MPDX and SMM.

While I understand Christianity is the most mobile, in some cases and really the most nosey and the most self righteous, it is definitely not a unique case with respect to religiously instigated violence.  It’s just where our focus tends to be.

The officially atheist states of the Communist bloc committed more acts of genocide than any societies in history. The total number of people murdered by their own anti-Christian governments in the 20th century - communist, socialist, fascist - equals about 170 million:

USSR: 61 million people murdered 1917 - 1987
Communist China: 35.2 million 1949 - present
Mao’s army: 3.4 million 1923 - 1949
Nazi Germany: 20 million 1932 - 1945
Communist Poland: 1.6 million 1945 - 1948
Communist Cambodia: 2 million 1975 - 1979
Communist Vietnam: 1.6 million 1945 - 1975
Communist Yugoslavia: 1 million 1944 - 1987
Anti-Christian Mexican Revolution: 1.4 million 1900 - 1920
Turkey: 1.8 million 1900 - 1918
Pakistan: 1.5 million 1956 - 1987
Japan: 5.9 million 1936 - 1945

You have to figure that the odds of Ken Ober going before Colin Quinn had to be somewhere close to 500-1, right?

This makes me wish they had cured Gingivitis in our lifetime. Ken might still be alive today.
