Return Of The Peanut

You put your baby in my peanut butter...thanks, bro. Delicious.

Hey angry atheist, give credit where credit is due. I'm veeerrrrryyyyy impressed with the 39th president of the United States, Jimmie James "Freekin" Carter. In the usually very weak and lame Huff Post Religion, the former president, the man who broke away from homophobic and sexist the Southern Baptist Church, Peanut answers the tuff questions about the bible (yes, THAT bible), his new book and faith.

OM(nonexitent)Gawd all you kind gentle and very goodlooking readers dude has the courage to answer questions like sanctioned biblical slavery, the war on women and the war to control women's pee pees-n-stuff, did Gawd write the bible, how old is the universe. Really those are epic questions and in fact those are our talking points (I know because I've said those things while standing on my soap box), so Peanut did some good y'all.

Why is this coolio. If I have said it once, I have said it a million times...If Team Atheist can debunk (destroy) extremist religion, then the business of world peace and a secular society will be that much easier. If religious peeps, en mass, move from a literal interpretation of the bible that says "snakes talk, gays bad, da erffs is 6-10,000 y/o" to a more liberal interpretation...a more equality-ie and peaceful interpretation, then baddfreekinass.

Poor Peanut. He had that hostage thingy, recession, unemployment and the OPEC than to deal with. Wait, it's always like that.

Gee I dunno, if believers would ALL subscribe to the reality that the bible was inspired by God and not literally written by God, then maybe, just maybe, peeps will stop hijacking planes and running them into buildings, invading other countries for revenge and killing innocent  civilians and calling it *collateral damage*. Just maybe.

Don't get me wrong...I don't believe in the symbolic God/Jesus of liberal religion either, I just think one step at a time, bro. I just think the classic military strategy divide and conquer. I just think that Team Atheist, at least on the social issues, have more in common with liberal religion than extremist religion.

I'm stoked right now (and it feels good to have some kinda feeling/excitement) and I will return to this epic interview from Peanut, of course, with super awesome, pot smoking, morning drinking, stinky hippie, Nor-Cal opinion. In the meantime, read the interview and I'll pound this breakfast beer.

I was too young to try Billy Beer. I guess it tastes like sweaty Southern Jesus eating BBQ.  Or Budweiser.

* Oh yea...part of it is that more and different translations that believers keeps spewing, the more unlikly any of them are true. If one splinter cell claims one interpretation is correct and another cell claims that what they say is correct, then doesn't that make them all wrong. It does from the Team Atheist perspective. Mo' later.

* Article Huff Po.

* I read this on Dwindling Unbelief yesterday. It's about how believers cherry pick certain passages to follow, but not others. These passages could be interpreted as God/Jesus insisting that "one man lay with another", or that question that is asked at all bars at closing time "Are you a topper, or a bottom-er." This cherry picking thing is about liberal v extremist interpretations of the bible, about correct and not correct. It is about making sense in the modern world or not making sense in the modern world.

* Don't fergit that the 39th presidents brother was a notorious beer swiller. so much so, he came out with his own beer...Billy Beer.

* Peanut's bio. Really interesting guy.
