The Anti-bible takes on the "global worming"

Picture this: We're a small band of rational minds on a mission, in the Xian Wilderness, to re-establish a True Enlightenment. Attacked on all sides by subhuman theist-zombies, and running low on ammunition (Dawkins/Harris/Dennett/Pollit need to publish more often!), we've circled the wagons against the DimWarriors of XianDarkness. It looks bad for our brave band...

Suddenly, a shout! "Look! On the ridge!"

Can it be? YES! It's the 10th Cavalry of Reason, bringing us copies of "The Quotable Atheist"!

A little over-the-top. Sorry...

Ammunition for Atheists

The following is an excerpt from Jack Huberman's new book, The Quotable Atheist: Ammunition for Nonbelievers, Political Junkies, Gadflies, and Those Generally Hell-Bound (Nation Books, 2007).

The world (not just America) is deeply divided.The main fault line is where the tectonic plates of religion and of reason/secularism/ modernity/science/Enlightenment meet and grind against each other, making an absolutely unbearable noise. It's sort of like ... forget it, I can't describe it.

[Quoting End of Faith, by Sam Harris]"...Only 28 percent of Americans believe in evolution; 68 percent believe in Satan. Ignorance in this degree, concentrated in both the head and belly of a lumbering superpower, is now a problem for the entire world."

We need to change the cultural climate so as to make supernatural, occult, and faith-based claptrap feel unwelcome and to make adults ashamed of the blithe surrender of their otherwise sound minds to idiocy.We need climate change. Bullshit levels are rising globally, threatening to submerge intellectually low-lying areas. Much of the United States is already inundated.Temperatures are rising; IQs are dropping. Four of the five stupidest years on record have occurred since 2000.

I would of course have preferred a declaration by the president of the United States -- purportedly God's messenger on earth...Failing that, it is up to atheist/secularist groups and individuals to do what we can to stop global worming (people groveling like worms before nonexistent deities). That's where this book comes in.

You can read the rest of the post and samples (link above) from Richard Dawkins, Phyllis Diller, Phil Donahue, Frederick Douglass, Jerry Falwell, Thomas Jefferson, Michael Moore, and Katha Pollit. (Jerry Falwell? WTF?)
