Notable (and Hilarious) Examples of the Christian Right's Failed Prophecies

Notable (and Hilarious) Examples of the Christian Right's Failed Prophecies:

 "The Christian right in America, like all organized religions, claims to have a correct and exclusive understanding of God's will. To hear them tell it, the almighty creator of the universe has strong opinions about corporate tax rates, firearm ownership and what consenting adults do with their genitals, and he's delegated them to speak on his behalf.

But if they want us to believe they have this authority, it seems only fair to consider their track record. After all, the Bible itself tells how to identify false prophets [3], saying that if they're not really speaking for God, their predictions won't come true -- a very sensible test!"

When you're over sixty who gives a shit!


This asshole looked at my beer belly last night and sarcastically said, "Is that Corona or Bud?"

I said, "There's a tap underneath; taste it and find out."

***********

I was talking to a girl in the bar last night.

She said, "If you lost a few pounds , had a shave and got your hair cut, you 'd look all right."

I said, "If I did that, I'd be talking to your friends over there instead of you."

***********

I was telling a girl in the pub about my ability to guess what day a woman was born just by feeling her boobs.

"Really" she said, "Go on then...try."

After about thirty seconds of fondling she began to lose patience and said.

"Come on, what day was I born"?

I said, “Yesterday."

***********

I got caught taking a pee in the local swimming pool today.

The lifeguard shouted at me so loud, I nearly fell in.

***********

I went to the pub last night and saw a fat chick dancing on a table.

I said, "Nice legs."

The girl giggled and said with a smile, "Do you really think so."

I said "Definitely! Most tables would have collapsed by now. "

After the eighty-three-year-old lady finished her annual physical examinations, the doctor said,
 'You are in fine shape for your age Maxine, but tell me, do you still have intercourse?'

Just a minute, I'll have to ask my husband, she said.
 She stepped out into the crowded reception room and yelled out loud: 'Henry do we still have intercourse?'

And there was a hush....You could hear a pin drop.

He answered impatiently. "If I told you once, Maxine, I told you a hundred times .....
What we have is...BLUE CROSS!!!!!!!

St. Joan of Arc is the patroness of soldiers and of France. On January 6, 1412, Joan of Arc was born to pious parents of the French peasant class, at the obscure village of Domremy, near the province of Lorraine. At a very early age, she heard voices: those of St. Michael, St. Catherine and St. Margaret.

At first the messages were personal and general. Then at last came the crowning order. In May, 1428, her voices "of St. Michael, St. Catherine, and St. Margaret" told Joan to go to the King of France and help him reconquer his kingdom.

they bowed down and worshiped him




 After they had heard the king, they went on their way, and the star they had seen when it rose went ahead of them until it stopped over the place where the child was. 
 When they saw the star, they were overjoyed. 
 On coming to the house, they saw the child with his mother Mary, and they bowed down and worshiped him. Then they opened their treasures and presented him with gifts of gold, frankincense and myrrh. 
 And having been warned in a dream not to go back to Herod, they returned to their country by another route.

First Member of Congress Describes Religion as 'None' - Washington Whispers (usnews.com):

 "both secular and atheist groups have cheered her rise to Congress. In March 2011, The Center for Inquiry presented the Arizona attorney and professor with its Award for the Advancement of Science and Reason in Public Policy, which "recognizes legislators who support public policy based on scientific thinking" while "maintaining church-state separation," according to its web site."


{at long last a politician who is not afraid to keep religion at a distance from the government.
 praise the lord!}
