Believe it or not, I was in a church today...

... and this is what I saw. Look closely, as most of the people I was with didn't see it at first.

Yes, this word collage espouses that most revered religious figure, the Carpet-eater of Nazareth. And yay, he rode into Des Kelly's on a donkey and there was much wailing and gnashing of teeth... I like to think that a closet atheist wrote this. Go Team Heathen!! 

I especially like it since all the other contributions were either trite self-help platitudes like "Believe in yourself (and Jesus)" or homely old school fire-and-brimstone sentiments like "Fear of the Lord is the beginnings of wisdom". 

Also, kudos for the Yoda-esque grammar. Oooohh, joiners he requires, heh heh heh heh heh!

Lookin' Good for Jesus

Want to look your best for the second coming? Need that little extra touch to be fabulous for the rapture? Well point yer peepers at this!

My tip for the next Blue Q range? How about some sanitary towels endorsed by a certain prophet? Come on, it's bound to be a big seller.

Never happen...

I see over on That's Ireland that Michael Nugent has put forth the case for a secular constitution, right about... here. I'm sure on reading this, most reasonable Irish people will be shocked to discover that we have a constitution, much less one that declares Jesus Christ (pictured, centre) Divine Lord over all us Micks.

Now, being an agnostic-atheist, I'm all for a secular constitution. But it's never going to happen. It's not that the majority of Irish are fervently religious, but rather that we're fervently lazy and whingy. And you can already hear the tired old responses; "Why are we shelling out cash on a bleedin' referendum to amend the constitution when they haven't even built the Bertie-Bowl yet?"

Jaysus, I hate this country.
