I See a Lot of Mockery of Belief in GOD on FaceBorg. Yes, The #RUNAWAY Movement is Gathering Momentum but... I Think That The AI Algorithm Has Determined that I Am an Atheist and Serves me MORE of What I Like. I also see Content about Ecology, San Jose, The Grateful Dead, The Democratic Party and Half Naked Women...

In My Humble Opinion Religion Really SUXX - I Collected a LOT of Anti-Jesus Memes... Allah, Buddha, KRSNA and Flying Spaghetti Monster Satirized TOO...

One of the Problems with Religious People IS: Some are Not Only Freaking Insane but Dangerous TOO! I believe That EVERYONE in America Remembers That Osama bin Laden Wrapped a TOWEL Around his Head... Because He Believes in ALLAH and Moe-Ham-Mad... and He Convinced a Buncha FREAKS to Hijack Airplanes and Fly them Into The World Trade Center and the Pentagon... Killing 3,000 Americans... So It's Pretty Easy to Conclude that Towelheads are a Danger to People Worldwide...

and... It's difficult to forget that Many Catholic Priests are Very Fond of Molesting Young Boys... but You have to remember that Priests take a "Vow of Chasity" and That Means NO SEX with Women... OF COURSE That Job Attracts FREAKS...

Man don't you get sick of the preposterous statement "you can't prove god doesn't exist" 😒🤔I well here comes the answer. I would tell them "It is not my job to prove that, as the claim is all you, which means the burden of proof has nothing to do with me. Not being convinced in a claim is not the same as making a claim". Same exact thing as telling them they cannot prove that leprechauns are not real, and I can say that without believing in leprechauns my own self. Unfalsifiable claims are called that for a reason lol. If a person is genuinely expecting you to prove that God is not real, they obviously do not even get that the God claim is an unfalsifiable claim. Typically, a large portion of what theists tend to believe are outright unfalsifiable claims. It is like a flood gate, once people start using the phony system of "faith", they start justifying some insane things, and without the need for any shred of evidence, they can spout complete lies, and in some cases lies that can be proven to be lies, they will still hold onto them, as the very way we measure evidence "science", they tend to disregard completely. In essence, I would say "I don't have to do any work towards proving or disproving your unfalsifiable claim", and maybe also say that "merely thinking a thought, does not make it true or fact" lol, sad enough to even have to say those things with a straight face, but yes that is where we are at as a species.

Imagine that, despite none of the tests being successful, you wish to be scrupulously open-minded. So you don't outright reject the notion that there's a fire-breathing dragon in my garage. You merely put it on hold. Present evidence is strongly against it, but if a new body of data emerge you're prepared to examine it and see if it convinces you. Surely it's unfair of me to be offended at not being believed; or to criticize you for being stodgy and unimaginative — merely because you rendered the Scottish verdict of "not proved."
Imagine that things had gone otherwise. The dragon is invisible, all right, but footprints are being made in the flour as you watch. Your infrared detector reads off scale. The spray paint reveals a jagged crest bobbing in the air before you. No matter how skeptical you might have been about the existence of dragons —to say nothing about invisible ones —you must now acknowledge that there's something here, and that in a preliminary way it's consistent with an invisible, fire breathing dragon.
Now another scenario: Suppose it's not just me. Suppose that several people of your acquaintance, including people who you're pretty sure don't know each other, all tell you they have dragons in their garages — but in every case the evidence is maddeningly elusive. All of us admit we're disturbed at being gripped by so odd a conviction so ill supported by the physical evidence. None of us is a lunatic. We speculate about what it would mean if invisible dragons were really hiding out in garages all over the world, with us humans just catching on. I'd rather it not be true, I tell you. But maybe all those ancient European and Chinese myths about dragons weren't myths at all. . .
Gratifyingly, some dragon-size footprints in the flour are now reported. But they're never made when a skeptic is looking. An alternative explanation presents itself: On close examination it seems clear that the footprints could have been faked. Another dragon enthusiast shows up with a burnt finger and attributes it to a rare physical manifestation of the dragon's fiery breath. But again, other possibilities exist. We understand that there are other ways to burn fingers besides the breath of invisible dragons. Such "evidence" —no matter how important the dragon advocates consider it—is far from compelling. Once again, the only sensible approach is tentatively to reject the dragon hypothesis, to be open to future physical data, and to wonder what the cause might be that so many apparently sane and sober people share the same strange delusion.

Flying Spaghetti Monster Painting


The Flying Spaghetti Monster has touched me with His noodly appendage after vanquishing all other deities in divine combat and informed me his sauciness created the universe. Can't disprove me?! Then it must be true! ALL HAIL THE ALMIGHTY NOODLE! CREATOR OF ALL PASTA AND HOOMANS. 🍝 R'amen!
If we accept that any belief is valid if it can't be disproven, then my claim about the Flying Spaghetti Monster creating the universe with His noodly appendage is as valid as the Christian claim of a deity creating the world in seven days. In fact, the Flying Spaghetti Monster's existence is backed by empirical evidence!
Did you know that as the number of pirates has decreased, global warming has gotten worse? Now, that's empirical evidence for the Flying Spaghetti Monster's influence if I've ever seen it! That's more than I can say for walking on water or resurrecting from the dead!
In fact, there's evidence of the Flying Spaghetti Monster everywhere you look! Every time you see a bowl of spaghetti, that's evidence. Just look around you! How can you deny it all!?
Every time you feel a sense of peace while eating pasta, that's His Noodly Appendage touching you. And let's not forget the global decline in pirates, which has led to an increase in global warming! Exactly as the Gospel of the Flying Spaghetti Monster predicted. 😮
Now, my deity just wants us to enjoy pasta and live in harmony. No eternal damnation, no original sin, just endless pasta bowls. If we're going to accept one set of unprovable claims, why not accept them all? After all, can you disprove that His Divine Sauciness isn't the true architect of reality? If not, then ALL HAIL THE ALMIGHTY NOODLE! 🍝 R'amen!
So, let us sauce;
Our Noodly Appendage, who art in a colander,
Draining be your noodles.
Thy noodles come,
Thy sauce be yum,
On top some grated Parmesan.
Give us this day our garlic bread,
And forgive us our trespasses,
As we forgive those who trample on our lawns.
And lead us not into vegetarianism,
But deliver us some pizza,
For thine is the meatball, the noodle, and the sauce,
Forever and ever.
R'amen.



I was Raised an Atheist. My Grandfather was a Minister but during the 1930s he had a Crisis of Faith and Concluded that God Did Not Exist. No One was Putting any money in the Collection Plate. So, in order to feed his Family he Quit and Became a Math Teacher.

My Dad was Enthusiastic about Atheism. His Entire Life... I Was Not Real Excited one way or another. However, When I Took LSD I Had a Religious Experience. I Experienced True Enlightenment... For a Few Hours. That Experience made Traditional Religion Seem BOGUS...

And then My Facebook Friends Commented...

PD: True enlightenment on LSD? OK

Gregory Laan Yes, That's What it Does... For a few Hours... and It DID Awaken an Interest in Attaining True Enlightenment Permanently...

MB: Beware! Drugs and Alcohol can bring forth the subconscious mind ,which is the dark side of man.

Gregory Laan Somehow, I Have Noticed that Corporate Greed Freaks are Generally People That Have NOT Had The LSD Experience...

TL:  Dr Andrew Weill wrote a book on the subconscious mind. called 'the Marriage of the Sun and the Moon' wherein he writes about his efforts, by way of experiencing varous methods of reaching and 'altered state', as practiced by indigenous people in South and Central America. The social and communal methods of what we might call 'getting high' were used to bring about social harmony in different cultures, and were part of their religion too. Dr Weill went to those places, experienced the affects of the local 'altered states' with the goal to achieve a subconscious awareness whenever you wanted to, in order to reach those parts of the mind that drive the creative side (dream like) part of the brain for the benefits of thinking, outside the box, so to speak. I can only say this is my interpretation of his efforts. Judge for yourself. Buy the book. Also research all you can on Dr Joseph Campbell, who was also interviewed by Bill Moyers and I believe available on Youtube. Learn about he development/evolvement of the human mindset from early man until present.

So Many Different Gods... and So Many Believers Loudly Proclaim that THEIR God is the One True God. That's Absurd! I, like 100% of the people on Earth HAVE NO CLUE if God is real or not.

Some people state that they know... but they are just deluding themselves... I don't mind them deluding themselves, but if they Kill people that are of different Religions... They are Crazy and Dangerous.  

Welcome to The Clergy Project https://clergyproject.org/

Are you a religious professional who no longer believes in the supernatural? Have you remained in vocational ministry, secretly hiding away your non-belief? Are you struggling over where to go from here with your life and career?

So far no response to my doing AA Step Eleven... I did my part but God did nothing... Deep Sigh... Silly me, I expected to receive knowledge... or Hints... or Clues... But I got Nothing...

Step Eleven: "Sought through prayer and meditation to improve our conscious contact with God as we understood Him, praying only for knowledge of His will for us and the power to carry that out."

If I read this step carefully I see that there is action required on my part [I pray for Knowledge] but nowhere in this step is there any action required on Gods part [No hint as to what his will for us is...] and I have been listening...

Silly me, I expected to receive knowledge... or Hints... or Clues... But I got Nothing...




I assume that the reason for a total lack of answers is that God does not exist. OR... maybe God does exist but always remains silent.  Either way, I am given total freedom of choice when it comes to my own behavior. God never takes any action no matter what I do or believe...  Whoo-hoo! I am free. So I choose to keep on doing what I was doing before... No new Ideas have wandered into my mind since I started practicing Step Eleven actively.

This makes me wonder why many different cultures invented the concept of God or Gods.
Indians in India have over a thousand different Gods... I guess that it is comforting to believe in a power greater than yourself... I really like the Aztec Gods... They have some really psychedelic paintings of what they look like. The main one is a feathered serpent that came down from the stars. It sounds like an Alien on a spaceship... They really liked building Pyramids. I wonder what the
goal was... In both Egypt and Mexico people built pyramids and yet, there is no clear use...


So, while I wait for God to do something, I'll continue to go to meetings and write blog posts... God, if you are reading this... wake up!

I read a book called "Journey to Awakening" by Ram Dass which gives simple instructions on How To Meditate but following his instructions revealed nothing. Oh well...

I suppose that the real reason that I'm having no progress on step eleven is that I should do the steps in NUMERICAL ORDER. I never really finished step one. That step requires that I believe that a higher power can restore myself to sanity. Nope, no higher power exists and so this imaginary higher power cannot do anything.

I do believe that the AA organization and having meetings does help me quit drinking. The power of peer pressure is valid. I chose to associate with other people that voluntarily select to not drink. We have meetings and tell each other that our lives are better without booze. This is a valid technique for me.

Bill Wilson created the Idea of AA during a 5 day long belladonna and henbane "cure". Both of those drugs are powerful hallucinogens. During his experience he saw a white light and met God personally. While I have never eaten belladonna or henbane I have eaten LSD and that does give the illusion of direct contact with God. Mr. Wilson's idea of forming a club where fellow alcoholics can meet and talk to each other is a great idea.  After AA was running for about 30 years Bill Wilson tried LSD. He was very enthusiastic about it initially as it would allow other members to have a religious experience. However he decided to not make any changes at all to the structure of AA. His belief was that the organization was working well and any change could make it stop functioning. Especially having millions of members taking the powerful hallucinogenic drug LSD.

and Then After Listening to The Saturday Night Alive for the Global Peace Tribe Show...

I Had a Dream: 

We were walking towards the Entrance of the Los Gatos Library and there was a Thin Old Man dressed in a Small Bathing Suit ahead of Us. He pulled on the entrance to the Children's room and It was Locked... Disappointed, he turned around and I asked: "Are You Looking for the Man Who Works There?" He Said: "NO" and I Motioned towards the Main Entrance. We all Entered. He seemed lost so I asked: "Do you Need Help?" as I would ask any Lost Old Man... He Said: "NO" and then I asked again: "Can I Help You?" He said: "No. I'm Fine." and then we went on Our Own Ways. By That time it was Obvious to Me That he was Ram Dass and That it was a Rather "Heavy" encounter to Ask Ram Dass If I Could Help Him... a Meaningful Event... and I was Shaking... So we went downstairs and I went searching for a Book that I Has Started reading before (about Philosophy) - and on the same shelf was a large picture book of the Grateful Dead's Fare Ye Well Tour with four CDs (that were missing) and My friend asked me why I would want to check out that book and I said: "Too Look for Pictures of Myself." and then I woke up and Typed this Document... It's Best to Type it Up before I forget it... For Certain, I would have tried to help any Lost Old Man but It seems Important that I Offered Ram Dass Help in my dream. That's One Of His Main Teachings...

A Brief History of the War In Iraq. OOPS, We Blew Up The Wrong Country. On 9/11 Fourteen (14) SAUDI ARABIAN Hijackers Flew Airplanes into The World Trade Center. Five (5) Were NOT Saudis... George W. Bush (the Son) felt that He Could NOT go to War with The ACTUAL people that Caused 9/11 so he had the CIA write FALSE Reports so he could start a War Against Iraq. Years Later We Learned that Iraq Had No WMD, Had No ties to Al Qaeda and Had Nothing at all to do with 9/11.
