Tim Tebow: A Masterplan Backfire

Posted in christians, prayer, Truth with tags , on December 11, 2011 by devilbloggger

Tebow.

Bear with me, my non-American friends.  In the land of the (increasing less) free and the home of the (fewer and fewer) brave, I once created a game that I thought would definitively and finally change the reason for Sunday: football.

No, not the “football” the rest of the world plays, but American football, a high-impact game of muscle and skill combined with color, hype and rivalries, and, to differentiate it from the football of the rest of the world: scoring.

Yes, my servants, I’ve carefully crafted many American sports to completely captivate the minds of men and women in a never ending chain of entertaining distracting distractifications.  I’ve basically created new seasons in sport: football, basketball, and baseball.  Sports in America have become the religion of the masses, but football is my most prized distractifier, as it virtually monopolizes Sunday for almost half the year.

You should see my satisfaction, my friends, as I watch Americans, and especially men who would otherwise be dangerous to my kingdom, in snack-filled rooms glued to big screen television sets filling both mind and body with nothing of eternal value.

It’s a beautiful sight, my good servants.

But somewhere along the line I slipped up, my servants. (Hey, almost no one’s perfect!)

I’m speaking of a great anomaly in my sports agenda, a masterplan backfire, which I can only hope is temporary: Tim Tebow.

Blechhhh!

Do you know of this Godpunk, Tebow?

I hope not, but, unfortunately I suspect you have or you will shortly.  He made the news again today, as he led his professional football team, the Denver Broncos, to another improbable victory.  In a Wall Street Journal article by Patton Dodd entitled, “Tim Tebow: God’s Quarterback“, Mr. Dodd relates of Tim Tebow after one such victory:

And when the shouting was over, Mr. Tebow did what he always does—he pointed skyward and took a knee in prayer. In postgame interviews, the young quarterback often starts by saying, “First, I’d like to thank my Lord and Savior Jesus Christ” and ends with “God bless.”

Blechhh!

Do you see why I’m concerned here, my servants?  Here is an unapologetic, charismatic, articulate, and likable Christian!

When is the last time you saw such a person?

And this Tebow cat is taking the US by storm.  He even inspired a website that displays submitted photos of people all over the world bowing in thanks, ”tebowing” as it’s called.  Ordinary people inspired to emulate Tim Tebow’s iconic bow of thankful prayer.

Can it get any worse?

It’s enough to make me sick, my friends.

Don’t let this get around, but just between you and I, I don’t know what to do!

Now every Sunday my masses of the distracted are forced to come to terms with a praying Christian on their TV screens.  And his actions cause many to think about their own spirituality, which is a dangerous backfire of my Sunday Masterplan.

I just wish his team would stop winning.

Because it only reminds me that in the end every knee will bow.

I’m already hoping professional basketball season will start–it’s full of more of my type of people.

And the beat goes on.

Now I Thank MY Turkey!

Delicious.

Just delicious, my good friends.  I’m telling you, it doesn’t get much better than this.  On a weekend in America where millions of humble hearts were turned toward God, one haughty, hard heart was turned toward me.  And it wasn’t just any haughty, hard heart.  It was the official First Heart of America, my good friend and ally, Barack Obama.

My non-American friends can hardly contemplate the significance of this weekend’s events for my kingdom.  America has a major holiday that was instituted originally (and later officially by the US government) as a day to thank the true God!  In the past this holiday with the disgusting name “Thanksgiving” was proclaimed with heartfelt, explicit, grindingly, ear-bleedingly, Hell-destroying exclamations of thanks and praise to God.

Consider, America’s first Thanksgiving Proclamation by their first First Heart, George Washington:

Whereas it is the duty of all Nations to acknowledge the providence of almighty God, to obey his will, to be grateful for his benefits, and humbly to implore his protection and favor – and Whereas both Houses of Congress have by their joint Committee requested me “to recommend to the People of the United States a day of public thanksgiving and prayer to be observed by acknowledging with grateful hearts the many signal favors of Almighty God, especially by affording them an opportunity peaceably to establish a form of government for their safety and happiness.”

I wished I could die (which I can’t, of course).

Not just “God” but “Almighty God“!

America’s first First Heart was a grateful heart.

Blechhhh!!

Oh, but how I change times.  This week, America’s First Heart showed he has no gratefulness toward the Eternal Heart of God.

But that doesn’t mean he isn’t grateful.  It merely shows on whom he fully grates.

In fact, his words grated on every grateful heart in America as he proclaimed Thanksgiving this year without even mentioning God!

Ha ha ha ha ha.

Oh, I love it.

Because his words did not only grate on the hearts of men.

I hope Obama serves me four more years.

Because he does my will on earth as it is in Hell.

WWII

Ahhhh, how times change.  Did you know, my servants, that US President Franklin D. Roosevelt prayed publicly and nationally via radio to an audience of 100 million before the D-Day invasion of Normandy in World War II?

You didn’t?

Good.

Yes, according to this LA Times article, for instance, on June 6, 1944, FDR “asked Americans to join him in praying for the troops.”  According to the LA Times, in the prayer, “the appeal to God is bold and unapologetic.”

That prayer, my friends, tore through Hell like a cyclone, catching us all off guard as it screamed through every dark crevice.

I still get shivers.

But the good news is, my servants, the shivers have changed over time.  Now they are shivers of delight in anticipation of another pending D-Day; a D-Day of the soul in which today’s US President, Barack Obama, also acts boldly and unapologetically.

Once again my friend and servant Barack Obama has answered the question of his true faith, this time by opposing the addition of FDR’s prayer to the World War II Memorial in Washington, DC.

The official reason?  (You will congratulate me, my servants) According to a FoxNews article entitled, “Obama Administration Opposes FDR Prayer at WWII Memorial,” Robert Abbey, the director of the Bureau of Land Management, said any plaque or inscription of the prayer would “dilute”  the memorial’s central message and therefore “should not be  altered.”

Just what is the “central message” of the memorial, Mr. Abbey?  And how would a bold and unapologetic, and effective prayer, dilute it?

Ha ha ha ha ha.

Yes, my servants, I am winning.

And here’s proof of my winning on earth: you need no longer ask “What Would Satan Do?”  You need only ask “What Would Obama Do?”

WWOD?

Winning!

According to the FoxNews article,

[FDR] asked God to give the allied troops courage and faith, saying, “With thy  blessing we shall prevail over the unholy forces of our enemy.”

Yes, FDR recognized “unholy forces” of the “enemy.”

Fortunately, Obama seems drawn to unholy forces and does not recognize moi, the enemy.  According to Tony Perkins, president of the Family Research Council (Blechhhh!),

This is further evidence that the administration has created an environment that  is hostile towards American history — but in particular towards Christianity.

And, Perkins continued,

I hope America wakes up and realizes what this  administration is doing to this country and how they want to radically and  fundamentally change America.

I hope America doesn’t.

Ha ha ha ha ha.

Here comes D-Day!

WWOD?

Satan Answers Mr. Keller’s Tough Questions.

Posted in atheism, atheists, Bible, Darwin, Darwinism, evangelisim, evolution, False religion, God, heresy, homosexuality, liberals, political correctness, prayer, public schools, secular humanism, secularism, separation of church and state, Truth, worldview with tags , , , on August 25, 2011 by devilbloggger

Oh yeah.

My my my.  Sometimes one of mine outdoes himself in his blind hatred of all things God (true God, that is).  Sometimes this servant of mine has a loud voice that gets heard by many, convinces a few, and pleases one. My my my.

When I saw Bill Keller’s article  in today’s New York Times entitled, “Asking Candidates Tougher Questions About Faith,” I must admit I was worried.  I thought it might be an exposé focusing on the atheistic faith of some politicians, the anti-Christian faith of others, or the general degradation of all things moral and upright by almost every politician.

But I suppose I should have known better.  After all, this showed up in my paper of record.  And it didn’t disappoint.

Yes, Mr. Keller dumped not on “faith” in general, a necessary element of anyone’s political worldview, but only on sincere God faith of the type expressed by George Washington, Abraham Lincoln, and Ronald Reagan.

I’m with Mr. Keller on this one, my friends.  There is nothing worse for my kingdom than a politician who has a sincere belief in God, and nothing better for my kingdom than a politician who has a professed, but clearly non-existent faith in God.

You will notice Mr. Keller has no problem with Mr. Obama’s faith.

Neither do I.

But consider the faith of Mitt Romney, Michele Bachmann, or horror of horrors Rick Perry, and Mr. Keller begins asking the baited question, “Does it matter?”

Matter?

For what?  For an ordered society where people can live freely in relative peace like they used to do when God was not banished from public discourse?

Yes, I suppose it does matter.

And to press his point, Mr. Keller sent a questionairre to suspect candidates to find out where they stand on questions he believes important.  The entire questionnaire can be found on The 6th Floor blog.  Just for fun, I have given my answers to his questions below.

Enjoy. 

1. Is it fair to question presidential candidates about details of their faith?

My answer:  Yes, of course.  Everyone has faith in something or someone, and the public has a right to know what or who is the object of one’s ultimate faith.  Obviously, it is that “something” or “someone” which/who will ultimately drive a politician’s policy choices.  I just hope that atheists, and practical atheists like most Democrats in the US don’t get questioned on this point.

2. Is it fair to question candidates about controversial remarks made by their pastors, mentors, close associates or thinkers whose books they recommend?

My answer: Yes, it is fair.  But the emphasis should always remain on “pastors” and not “thinkers” like Karl Marx,  Bill Ayers and others who espouse destructive ideas that I’ve miraculously made standard thought among the political elite, as well as the faculty of most college campuses.

3. (a) Do you agree with those religious leaders who say that America is a “Christian nation” or “Judeo-Christian nation?” (b) What does that mean in  practice?

My answer:  No. America used to be a Christian nation.  Of course it is not now.  In practice a Christian nation would not kill millions of babies for convenience, celebrate homosexuality as normal, or trash Biblical sexual morality (all three are intimately related).  A Christian nation would not ban Christmas displays, censor Christmas carols in public schools, fire teachers for reading Bibles at work, object to crosses in public places (whether inadvertent or purposeful), freak out over after-school bible studies, go spastic over graduation prayers, kow tow to imprisoned terrorists on religious grounds, sue every person for every Christian utterance made in public, or … well, you get the idea.

4. If you encounter a conflict between your faith and the Constitution and laws of the United States, how would you resolve it? Has that happened, in your experience?

My answer: I encounter conflicts all the time.  The Constitution was written based on an implicit faith in the God of the Bible–an obvious conflict for my purposes.  Fortunately, I resolve it by convincing many people that the Constitution is “living” and subject to change based on prevailing morals by consensus.  Does it seem like the time is right to make abortion a Constitutional right?  Then, by God moi, I make sure someone finds that right buried in that dadgum thing somewhere. 

5. (a) Would you have any hesitation about appointing a Muslim to the federal bench? (b) What about an atheist?

My answer: Moi?  Ha ha ha ha ha.  Of course not. 

6. Are Mormons Christians, in your view? Should the fact that Mitt Romney and Jon Huntsman are Mormons influence how we think of them as candidates?

My answer: No.  But Mormons can be just as damaging to my kingdom.  I hate Mormons almost as much as I hate Christians.

7. What do you think of  the evangelical Christian movement known as Dominionism and the idea that Christians, and only Christians, should hold dominion over the secular institutions of the earth?

My answer:  Frankly, that idea scares the . . . well, the . . . the heck out of me.  Fortunately, it will never happen, but I can use the notion to prey upon fears, just as I’ve done with Mr. Keller.  Question: Would Mr. Keller care if “Dominionism” was the idea that atheists, and only atheists, should hold dominion over “secular” institutions of the earth.  Why not?

8. (a) What is your attitude toward the theory of evolution? (b) Do you believe it should be taught in public schools?

My answer:  I LOVE the theory of evolution.  This theory has done more to advance my kingdom than any other in the history of the world.  Of course it should be taught in public schools, but not as Darwin presented it, a tentative scientific theory, but as dogmatic fact immune from criticism.  Darwin, a true scientist, included many reasonable scientific objections to his theory of descent with modification in his book Origin of Species.  I would not want students to know these objections, all of which continue as refutations to Darwin’s theory today.  One of my greatest lies on earth is that Darwinism is ironclad science and anyone who questions it is naïve at best, and evil at worst.  (Consider: Darwin’s own book, half of which contains scientific criticism of his theory, could not be taught in public schools today!  The criticisms are just as valid today, but they are not allowed to be taught. Darwin would likely abandon his theory based on them.)

9. Do you believe it is proper for teachers to lead students in prayer in public schools?

My answer:  Are you serious?  Of course not.  Unless, of course, the prayers are to an ungodly toy deity.

There you have it, my servants. 

I wonder how my answers would stack up against the politicians Mr. Keller opposes?

I wonder how my answers would stack up against the politicians Mr. Keller endorses?

Ha ha ha ha ha.

Rough weekend, folks

Posted in Morality, prayer, religion, Uncategorized, worldview with tags , on August 7, 2011 by devilbloggger

Weekends.

Weekends are always rough around here, my friends.  And it’s not over yet.  Imagine: from the first dawn of Monday at the International Date Line, the rest of the world is still on Sunday for 24 more hours!  That’s 48 hours of Sunday every week for me, my friends.

Blechhhh!

Sundays are big prayer days.  Yes, many, many (too many, for sure) Godpunks pray every day, but on Sundays — wow, the cacophony of prayertalknoise practically drives us mad.

But I’m used to that.

What I’m not used to is a big, well-publicized prayer rally on Saturday!

And that’s what happened yesterday, my servants.  My head still hurts.  I need a rest.  But let me vent a bit.

Where in the world did this Rick Perry dude come from?  Who does he think he is?

For my non-American servants, Rick Perry is the governor of Texas who is rumored to be on the verge of announcing his candidacy for President as well.  I hope that doesn’t happen.  I really, really, really, really like the present President of the Divided States of America.

And yesterday, Mr. Perry did something unheard of in modern political discourse: he participated in a prayer rally which he helped organize.  And he even prayed in public a real prayer causing ear-splitting shock waves to echo about the depths of Hell for hours.  Do you know what he prayed?  I can’t repeat it all, but here is the worst part:

And as a nation, we have forgotten who made us, who protects us, who blesses us.

Ouch!

If this Perry dude wins, we’ll all be subject to Godtalk of the like we haven’t seen since the days of Washington, Adams (J.), Madison, Monroe, Adams (J.Q.), or Lincoln.  Not to mention some more modern Godtalkers like Wilson, Roosevelt (Teddy), Coolidge, Eisenhower, Truman, or Reagan.

You see, in the bad old days US presidents routinely invoked God, prayed publicly, and generally honored God as the creator and protector of us all.

George Washington even went as far as proclaiming the following at his farewell address in 1796:

Of all the dispositions and habits which lead to political prosperity, religion and morality are indispensable supports…. And let us with caution indulge the supposition, that morality can be maintained without religion. Whatever may be conceded to the influence of refined education on minds of peculiar structure; reason and experience both forbid us to expect that national morality can prevail in exclusion of religious principle. ‘Tis substantially true, that virtue or morality is a necessary spring of popular government.

Fortunately, Americans quickly forgot this admonition, and conveniently “conceded” much to the “influence of refined education on minds.” 

Ha ha ha ha ha. 

I’m a “refined” kind of guy, after all.

John Adams, who followed Washington as the second US president had this to say:

We have no government armed with power capable of contending with human passions unbridled by morality and religion…. Our Constitution was made only for a moral and religious people. It is wholly inadequate to the government of any other.

“Unbridled” is a good word to describe America today, wouldn’t you agree? 

Ha ha ha ha ha.

I’m a great “unbridler.”

But back to this Perry dude.  Can you all help me in ensuring that he does not run for President?  If the American president really believed in God, like Perry does, I’m in trouble.  As it is, I have my man in the White House — a man who says he believes in God and acts like he does not.  (Did I mention I really like the present occupant of the White House?) With Perry I’ll have to contend with a man who says he believes in God and acts like he does.

It’s been a long time since I’ve had to oppose such a man as US President.

I’ve been able to practically coast the last couple of years.  It’s like I put the United States on autopilot headed straight for destruction.

Please don’t make me have to get back to the wheel.

Please?

More graduation prayers (to God) stopped!

Posted in atheism, atheists, common sense, False religion, Government, liberals, political correctness, politics, prayer, public schools, religion, secular humanism, toleration with tags , , , on May 31, 2011 by devilbloggger

Basking.

May I bask, my servants?  I won again.  For a moment can I share my pride with you and have you acknowledge once again my uncommon supremacy over common sense and common decency? 

I may?

Thank you. 

Coming off the heels of my last post, I read today of my servants once again displacing theistic religious practices with atheistic religious practices.  Only this time I got an American federal judge to not only stop the long tradition of prayers at a high school graduation; I got him to prevent the chillens from even hearing the word “invocation” or “benediction.” 

And all in the name of America’s love affair with all that is mine in the area of religion.

Ha ha ha ha ha.

The proof of my success can be found in a Reuters story entitled, “Prayers removed from Texas public school graduation.”  District Judge Fred Beiry ruled that even using words like ‘invocation” and “benediction” would make it sound like the public school is “sponsoring a religion.” 

Aided by the Americans United for Separation of Theistic Church from Atheistic State, chief servant Fred even ruled that students could not say “God bless you” during the ceremony.

Bless you, Fred.

Hey, Judge Fred, a question.  Does ensuring no prayer or God-talk make it sound like the school is sponsoring a belief system that treats God as if he does not exist?  Maybe, say, an atheistic religion?

If you answer no, then you have bought my “religion only means ‘God’” lie, and are ignorant of your own legal system’s use of the term “religion.” 

Of course, the whole de-Godding of Castroville’s (no kidding — that’s the name!) Medina Valley High School was caused by one parent, who threatened that their little tender-ears, thin-skinned, helpless, hopeless son “might” not participate in the graduation if he were forced to participate in theistic religious activities.  Apparently he can only bear to participate in atheistic religious activities.

So must everyone else, thanks to Tender-Ears.

Atheism for all because of atheism for one.

I might make that my motto.

Thanks Mr. and Mrs. Tender-Ears and my hapless servant Fred.

Ahhh.  Basking is good.

Graduates? They ain’t got (an official) prayer.

Posted in ACLU, atheism, atheists, common sense, False religion, prayer, public schools, religion, toleration with tags , , on May 28, 2011 by devilbloggger

Graduation.

Dangerous piece out there today, folks.  And from one of our own.  Well, not really mine because he does not believe in me any more than he believes in God, but when it comes to kingdom building, this one is mine.

Good piece, I’ll admit; but dangerous piece nonetheless. 

You know, my servants, especially my American friends, that this time of year brings a rash of rash behavior in the form of public gyrations around high school graduation prayers.  In the good ol’ days before I found lone offendees to screw up what was right, prayers were an official part of the whole shebang.  Everyone, even foolish unbelievers, were not so foolish as to be disrespectful of others.

But, of course, I have won in the public sphere largely through those lone offendees, or at least those who feign offense to feed the NCACLU machine.  Now graduates are not even allowed to see a cross in the vicinity of their graduation, much less hear a short prayer.

Ha ha ha ha ha.

Am I good, or what?

But if people read today’s opinion piece by Bruce Ledewitz over at Religion Dispatches entitled “It’s Time to Reconsider Graduation Prayer in Public High Schools,” the gig might be over.  You see, Mr. Ledewitz, who, according to God is a fool, is nevertheless intelligent enough to make some key insights into what my servants on earth have done to graduation prayers.

I can’t set up the issue better than he did, so bear with his long opening quote; it’s worth the read:

It happens every year around this time: a public high school in a small town schedules a graduation prayer in plain violation of the 1992 Supreme Court case prohibiting such prayers, Lee v. Weisman; then a local student steps up to demand that the prayer be dropped and a moment of silence, or other invocation, be substituted. There is local outrage but the school board’s attorney recommends compliance to save litigation costs. In the end, the local community is fodder for sophisticated national ridicule. It’s the Scopes Monkey Trial all over again.

You got the picture, right?  It’s actually a wonderful sight each year.  We look forward to it.

Mr. Ledewitz points out one of this year’s shows in Bastrop, Louisiana, where the local atheist tool was a dude named Damon Fowler.  It only takes one, and this time My One, backed up by my NCACLU, forced the prayer to be dropped in favor of a moment of silence. 

Mr. Ledewitz says “no one” can criticize Fowler, characterizing My One as “courageous” for “standing up for his beliefs.”

Oh yeah?  Courageous

Ha ha ha ha ha.

It is not courage, my friends, but spite, bitterness, and a general propensity to be a jerk that usually drive My Ones on earth in this regard.  Who in their right mind believe it is civil and generally un-jerky to make many offended for the sake of one selfish jerk who might be offended?

Well, I know the NCACLU; my question was rhetorical. 

What is the problem with forcing a clear majority of happy Americans with their long-standing happy traditions at special occasions to sit down and shut up in a moment of silence? 

Mr. Ledewitz tells us:

The ban tends to push prayer into the unofficial remarks of student speakers, which is what happened Friday at the Bastrop High School graduation ceremony; when graduating senior Laci Mae Mattice stood up to lead the planned moment of silence, she invited the audience to join her in the recitation of the Lord’s Prayer.

Yes, I heard that.  Wow, that girl Laci’s prayer just about took our breath away!

Sometimes I think it was better when some boring “clergy” stood up and droned on for a few moments of mass thought-wandering in the audience.

In any event, as Mr. Ledewitz notes, no US courts have succeeded in making all graduation prayers illegal.  The courts have merely shifted the focus from meaningless clergy-led pauses in the program to passionate student-led highlights of the program.

Mr. Ledewitz worries that if the Americans keep pounding this issue, dragging Christian students off stages as they yell Jesus’s name, those of more common sense might pass a constitutional amendment protecting the right of pubic prayer.

Again, am I good, my servants?  Can you believe that there is even talk about a constitutional amendment to protect the right of public prayer.  The people who wrote the constitution were public prayers of the highest order.  The first President and Congress made public prayers a major focus of all he/they did.

Ha ha ha ha ha.

A constitutional amendment.

Sorry, but that just shows how good I am — ha ha ha ha ha!

OK, let me compose myself, because I need to address some of Mr. Ledewitz’s errors.  Because he is swerving into some common sense truth that is inconsistent with his own professed belief, and dangerous to my kingdom.

Mr. Ledewitz suggests that the court decisions that caused official graduation prayers to cease should be reconsidered. 

Why?

Because he recognizes the obvious that Americans have sacrificed a “communal expression of meaning” by promoting a “radical individualism.”  And Mr. Ledewitz believes that some form of “communal expression” is good, because “community requires some kind of creed–though not of course necessarily a religious creed.”

Of course.

This is where my servants go wrong, my friends.  This is going to get ugly, but follow me on this one.

Mr. Ledewitz notes that one of the Supreme Court justices responsible for today’s predicament even noted that “this dearth of communal meaning in the public square was admitted.”  And another guilty justice stated,

. . . that the government could not undertake the task of prayer even to express “the shared conviction that there is an ethic and a morality which transcend human invention.”

But Mr. Ledewitz, no doubt with a glimmer of flickering light that exists in all created image bearers, disagrees.

This is where it gets dangerous.

Mr. Ledewitz, you are a “non-believer” which means you are an atheist.  What, exactly, can possibly “transcend human invention” in the context of prayer?

No, really, what?

To make matters worse, Mr. Ledewitz quotes another of my favorite useful fools, atheist Sam Harris, for insisting in his recent book The Moral Landscape that “there is an objective morality that goes beyond human invention.”

Mr. Ledewitz, swept up in a fit of unrecognized truth concludes:

But whatever the separation of church and state might mean, whatever government neutrality involves, it cannot forbid government from asserting that moral values are real.

Real?  Yes, but where do they come from, Mr. Ledewitz?

Just because this has been a traditionally religious position is no reason for secular people to give up on objective values.

Blechhh!  The darkened mind speaks unrecognized truth!

Objective values?  Do you know what these words mean, my servants?  Must I tell you?

No, I’ll let you figure it out yourself.  Go study the difference between “subjective” values and “objective” values.  (Hint for the lazy: if there is no God, there can be nothing transcendent or objective.)  

Stop, Mr. Ledewitz.  Just stop.

This entire discussion is leading to one conclusion, which is true: everyone is religious.  Some people are atheistically religious, with a theology of atheism (Mr. Ledewitz’ piece is under a heading of (A)theology).  Others are theistically religious. 

To start opining about “transcendent” “objective” values is to recognize that only theistic religions can possibly be true. Which makes atheists fools.

And a world where this truth is known is a world in which my kingdom suffers.

Mr. Ledewitz concludes with this mindless collision with kingdom destroying truth:

If the government is indeed establishing religion, by all means, let us object. But let us also be sensitive and willing to compromise, understanding that the yearning for transcendent meaning is not confined to religious believers.

Yes, it is, my friend Ledewitz.  It just depends on which religion is being believed.

I have worked hard to get government endorsement for atheistic religion in all areas of public life.

Don’t muck it up.

Pray for the National Day of Reason (they need it).

Posted in atheism, atheists, prayer with tags , on April 30, 2011 by devilbloggger

Reason.

You know my servants, because I warned you earlier, that a very dangerous day approaches in the United States: The National Day of Prayer on May 6th.  Even though this day is largely symbolic, enough Godpunks actually do pray to make life in Hell, well, hell.

That’s why I’m happy to report, my friends, that many of my servants on earth decided to have their own day, the National Day of Reason on the very same day as the National Day of Prayer.  Yes, my servants, because religious people clearly do not have reason on their side, my Servant Reasoners have decided to:

 . . . celebrate reason—a concept all Americans can support—and to raise public awareness about the persistent threat to religious liberty posed by government intrusion into the private sphere of worship.

Ha ha ha ha ha.

Hey, wait a minute — if reason is something all Americans can support, that means that even religious Americans can support reason.  Right?

But . . . if American religious people also celebrate reason, then what advantage do my Servant Reasoners have?  Do they have better reasons?  If so, on what basis?  Do they say?  Is it because they reject God and his righteousness?

I did that, but that only showed the flaw in my reasoning.

Ha ha ha ha ha.

The National Day of Reason’s website states:

The Day of Reason also exists to inspire the secular community to be visible and active on this day to set the right example for how to effect positive change.

Be “visible” and “active” and set the “right example”?  What does that mean?  Protest the National Day of Prayer? Bust through a protest line at an abortion mill?  Force every elementary school student to participate in graphic sex ed?  Petition for same-sex marriage? What is the “right example” for someone who’s moral compass has no True North?

Are the God-deniers instead of supporting all things unGodly going to feed the poor?  Comfort the sick?  Visit those in prison?  Build a hospital?

No way.

You see, my servants, let me clue you in to some kingdom knowledge.  There is no such thing as a “secular community;” there are only theistic religionists and atheistic religionists.  That’s why the National Day of Ungodly Reason supporters don’t even know the absurdity of their statement:

The National Day of Prayer violates the First Amendment of the US Constitution because it asks federal and local government entities to set aside tax dollar supported time and space to engage in religious ceremonies. This results in unconstitutional governmental support of religion over no religion.

No, it merely results in governmental recognition of theistic religion one day of the year, while government recognizes, authorizes, mandates, facilitates, supports, and follows atheistic religion every day of the year.

The atheistic religionists behind the Day of Reason fancy themselves superior in their reasoning ability, but, in fact, they are deceived by me, darkened in their thinking, boastful, proud, unholy, without true love, conceited, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God.

I stole that description from someone else, but I can tell you it’s true.  Because these people are mine.

The bottom line is that Day of Darkened Reasoners are mere sinners like everyone else.  The only difference is they are still held captive to my wiles, and have no fundamentally true basis for loving others.  On what basis can a Godless person consider another’s welfare?  To consider another in the absence of God and his moral order is not “reason,” it is madness.  Those Godless who do look out for the welfare of others are helpless hypocrites; they cannot help but consider others, not because their worldview demands it, but because of the image of God within them does so.

But of course, Day of Reasoners do not have the reasoning capability to know they carry an image which they stupidly deny.

And to think that these Self-styled Superior Reasoners believe themselves to be Superior Earthlings with a mandate to stop the “threat to religious liberty posed by government intrusion into the private sphere of worship,” especially a National Day of Prayer, because such a day “makes those who don’t pray feel like second-class citizens.”

Funny how someone of superior reason nevertheless lets themselves feel like second-class citizens. 

Just think how they will feel in Hell!

Ha ha ha ha ha.

National Day of . . . Prayer?

Posted in atheists, prayer, religion with tags , , on April 15, 2011 by devilbloggger

Oh me oh my.

Can I vent for one moment, my servants?  I know it’s not Tuesday, but I have terrible news nevertheless.  I had such great hopes that my American servants this year would finally put an end to one of the US’s worst assaults against my kingdom: The National Day of Prayer.

I hoped once again to stop this travesty of church-state entanglement before it could happen on its scheduled day, May 5, 2011.  But alas, despite valiant efforts by my servants, including some who call themselves Christians, the AP reported today, “Court dismisses suit over National Day of Prayer.”  Today’s headline says it all.  According to this piece of depressing news:

 A federal appeals court on Thursday threw out a ruling that the National Day of Prayer is unconstitutional and ordered that a lawsuit challenging President Barack Obama’s right to proclaim the day be dismissed.

This was the year, my servants, in which I was sure that this clearly unconstitutional act of the United States government would be stopped once and for all. 

Think about it: I put in a place a president who probably resents his role in carrying on this tradition and would not resist court action to stop him; I had effective representation from the likes of two of my favorite fan clubs: The Freedom From Religion Foundation, and, my most-favorite, Americans United for Separation of Church and State, and I succeeded in the first step of having a federal district judge decide in my favor.

But appeals court Chief Judge Frank Easterbrook overruled my victory at the lower court, stating:

“that while the National Day of Prayer proclamation speaks to all citizens, no one is obliged to pray ‘any more than a person would be obliged to hand over his money if the President asked all citizens to support the Red Cross or other charities.’”

Blechhhh!

Hey, do I really have to take that at this time of year from someone named Easterbrook?  I’m already in a funk with Easter coming up.  This yearly reminder of my eternal defeat makes me ill, and now I have to deal with another defeat from someone named Easterbrook?

I agree with Annie Laurie Gaylor, the co-president of The Freedom From All But Atheistic Religion Foundation, that the appeals court decision is “cowardly.”

And my most reverend, the Rev. Barry W. Lynn, who is ordained in a religion and is executive director of my little band of Americans United for Separation of Christianity and State, chimed in that this decision is part of an “ominous trend” to deny Americans the right to challenge church-state violations involving anything related to God (he, like me, apparently doesn’t care about atheistic religion-state involvement).

And President Barack Obama?  His administration had “no comment.”

Big surprise there, folks.

Come on, help me out here, my servants! 

Whatever you do, do NOT pray at any time, but especially not on May 5, 2011, the 60th anniversary of the National Day of Prayer

Just go about your ordinary business, which, I trust does not ever, at any time, involve prayer to God.

Oh me.

Oh my.

Prayer chains ruin my day

Posted in prayer with tags on April 3, 2011 by devilbloggger

Prayer

You know what I hate?  Prayer chains.

You know what I’m talking about?  Where one helpless God-loser has some problem and rather than pray silently in his closet like Jesus said to do, he activates a “prayer chain” that notifies all his buddies to start praying with him.  Suddenly, instead of one God-loser’s prayer to block, we face a sudden barrage of prayernoise and all, well, Hell breaks loose. 

Yes, we have immediate system overload down here every time one of those dadgum things goes off.  It used to be that a prayer chain would build slowly and we could pretty well control it.  There was almost always at least one weak link, one person we could persuade to not pray and not pass on the prayer request.  We could usually keep that person busy with other important things, so that he wouldn’t have time to pray.  If the chain was broken early we could pretty well control any potential damage.

But these days, with email, Twitter, and texting, it’s all we can do to break the chain before hundreds or thousands of prayers are clattering about, deafening us with ear-splitting clamor. 

My only real hope is to stop prayer chains before they stop.  I’ve been largely successful in turning most potential prayer chains into gossip chains.  Most churches are full of gossip chains.  The same information is often discussed, but only among humans.  We love the sound of gossip and encourage gossip chains.  In fact, we start most gossip chains.

But to stop a prayer chain we must somehow break the chain by diverting people’s attention to more important things.  Sometimes it an important television show.  Sometimes it’s a sporting event; we especially divert a lot of prayers by filling parent’s time with children’s sporting events.  Often we can break the chain by diverting a potential pray-er into a seemingly more important “religious” activity.  Those are the best diversions–keep someone busy in a church business meeting instead of praying.

And then sometimes we just give up.  The prayer chain overwhelms us, swamps us, depletes all our resources, and we just give up.

I hate prayer chains.

Am I sustaining Obama’s faith?

Posted in christians, Obama, prayer, Uncategorized with tags , , , on February 3, 2011 by devilbloggger

Prayer.  Blechhh!

What’s the difference between President Obama praying at the United States’ National Prayer Breakfast and an ordinary citizen praying daily before breakfast?  There are many, actually.  One looks staged while the other is routine.  One looks fake while the other looks real.  One looks like political expedience while the other looks like personal piety.  And, of course, one is performed by a haughty person who believes in his heart that the other is a “bitter clinger” who probably also owns a gun.

Ha ha ha ha ha.  Who does Obama think he’s foolin’?  Well, he may fool a few, but that’s not anything–I’ve fooled millions with more light-angel deception than Obama can even hope to match.  He’s a piker compared to me.

But I like him.

Of course, in reality, as I’ve said here before, I do not know if Obama is a Christian or not.  I can only judge the same way you do, and he is inviting us to judge him.  What do you think?

I can tell you that just saying you are a Christian does not make you a Christian.  My dark abyss is half full of self-identified Christians.  It seems that in the United States today the definition of what a Christian is is so muddled that virtually anyone can be one just by “believing in God.”

Hey, that means I’m a Christian also.  I believe in God. I can even quote the Bible.  And I have many Christian friends.  I’ve even been to many a prayer breakfast.

Ha ha ha ha ha.

And I have enough fellow “Christians” down here to fill a mega-church. 

So it was nice to read today that Obama believes that I help sustain his faith, whatever faith that might be.  Yes, my servants, as reported in Christianity Today’s article entitled, “Obama, Wallace, Giffords’s Husband, Chilean Miner Lead Prayer Breakfast,” it seems Obama said:

“My Christian faith then has been a sustaining force for me over these last few years, all the more so when Michelle and I hear our faith questioned from time to time.”

From time to time?  Does anyone not question his faith? 

Well, yes, actually.

There are many who do not question his faith because everyone has faith in something, and America’s opinion-makers are glad Obama’s Christian faith merely manifests as a weak verbal affirmation of “a God” from time to time.  Anything other than Christianity is OK with America’s elites, and a few politically expedient and transparent faith plays like that of today’s Prayer Breakfast are excusable as the price to pay for being President in America (for now).  So they are not going to question his faith.

I, for one, will not worry as long as Obama doesn’t act like a Christian.  It’s not those who say they are Christians that are Christians, but those in whom God has worked a heart change and who can’t not act like Christians.  True Christians take God’s word seriously and do God’s will on earth. 

And if you think Obama is a Christian based on what he does on earth, then I have one question for you:  Do you think God is pleased with Obama’s actions, his policies, and his clearly stated positions? 

Because I sure am.

Ha ha ha ha ha.

Pledge of Allegiance: Under whom?

Posted in political correctness, prayer, Uncategorized with tags on November 16, 2010 by devilbloggger

Special Note:  Thanks to all my new email subscribers!  Remember to check back here because I almost always make additions, modifications, corrections, etc. after the first post.  (Because almost no one is perfect!)

Off to a bad start after a bad weekend, my servants.

Hoo boy, what a weekend.  Bear with me, my faithful servants, there is reason to hope.

I warned you last week, about the International Day of Prayer, which happened last Sunday.  Oh, the noise, the smoke, and fury!  My demons fought valiantly in spiritual hand-to-hand combat against the enemies of my kingdom in every corner of the heavenly realm.  At one point my prayer-blocking assets were stretched so thin I had to pull demons off the Hollywood beat.  Those demons, along with the Cable TV crew have little to do, their tasks being limited mainly to monitoring operations. 

We were successful in distracting many from praying Sunday, but those who prayed did so in earnest.  I’m afraid we may have lost some battles this time.  But do not fret–over time I have witnessed a recurring pattern to these kingdom-threatening activities.  After a flurry of prayers and a rush of focused activity, most Godpunks quickly revert back to their everyday activities, leaving their temporary prayer concerns to fall back to my default position.  Trust me on this one, my servants.

So we must wait a while, and then renew our efforts in persecuting the church where we can, which is our unholy task.

No sooner had I accounted for all my demons than more bad news came in on the wire.  Someone brought me an article from yesterday’s Boston Globe entitled, “Court OKs NH law allowing ‘God’ pledge in schools.” The article told of an appeals court’s decision in New Hampshire, United States, that just affirmed a  lower court’s ruling that students can use the phrase “under God” when reciting the pledge.  For those non-American servants of mine, here is the Pledge that American students regurgitate:

“I pledge allegiance to the flag of the United States of America and to the republic for which it stands, one nation under God, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all.”

  See the obvious problem?  According to one of the judges:

“In reciting the Pledge, students promise fidelity to our flag and our nation, not to any particular God, faith, or church,”

Smelling salts.  Where are my smelling salts?

How can this be?  This isn’t supposed to happen.  A federal judge?  In the United States?  Ruling against ME?

I’ve been following this lawsuit filed by The Freedom From [Theistic] Religion Foundation, a Madison, Wisconsin, educational group Hell bent on the separation of [theistic] church and state.  I was sure this one was a slam dunk in my favor.  After all, as anyone can see, the pledge blatantly coerces students into participating in a a state-established (theistic) religion! 

Under God?  What about non-theistic religionists, like the nice, Godless plaintiffs in this case?

Smelling salts! Not pillar of salt, you idiot!  Take that back now!

Now, let me tell you my servants how to think about this.  Please keep this confidential, this is kingdom knowledge, not to be discussed with those arrayed against us.

Many think “under God” in the Pledge of Allegiance is merely innocuous, benign, feel-good, foo-foo language, and to a large degree it is.  But it has a great symbolic value for one simple, but profound reason: everyone is “under” someone.  And if you are not under God, guess who you will be under? 

Yes, you are right.  You will be under MAN, which is hardly different from saying you will be under ME.  And all the little school children under me is my will on earth as it is in Hell.

So we must continue to work to remove the “under God” language from the Pledge, my servants.  Its symbolic value alone works against my will on earth.  And don’t worry, the number of federal judges is limited, and it is only a matter of time before we find our judge.  It will happen.  Trust me.

But here is a more comforting thought: Regardless of the Pledge, I have already largely removed God from the hearts of public school students around the world, and especially in the United States.  So even though these poor students are coerced into reciting blatant religious dogma, it has little effect.  I have wiped all God-thoughts from virtually their entire public life experiences, so that God has no place in their hearts, and virtually no place in their minds. 

Public school students learn that they are products of purposeless, unguided physical processes that never had them in mind.  They learn that there is no absolute right and wrong, except what the state decrees.  They learn that all truth claims (except Christianity’s) are valid and to be accepted.  They learn to despise authority, especially that of their parents, not to mention God.  And they learn that the one authority that loves them and will care for them is the state, which is to be unquestioningly supported.

And then they grow up confused, depressed, anxious, and sometimes they go out and kill themselves and each other.  Ha ha ha ha ha.

So, who cares if they mouth “under God” in a rote expression of repetitive hogwash?

Yeah, who cares?

Now where are those smelling salts!

Alert: International Day of Prayer

Posted in prayer, Uncategorized with tags , on November 9, 2010 by devilbloggger

My year gets bad from here on, my servants.

Thanksgiving (in the United States mostly) and then Christmas!  I’ve mostly wiped clean all public religiosity from these holidays, but nevertheless during this time of year people seem compelled to act in ways that I don’t like.  I will keep you posted.   In particular, I will, on November 25 issue Satan’s Thanksgiving Proclamation for your edification.  Don’t worry, we’ll make it through together.

But for now, there is a more pressing issue.  It pains me to even bring this up, but I owe it to you, my faithful servants to let you know of threats against my kingdom.  And a major threat looms this month, so much so that I’m issuing a Level 2 devilbloggger alert.  Level 2 means I have positive evidence of a credible threat, and, usually, a threat for which I’ve experienced damage in the past.

 You know I hate prayer.  And you know I hate God’s work all over the earth.  So what could be more damaging to me and my kingdom than an international day of prayer?  And of all times, this month!  Coming in less than one week, on Sunday, November 14, is the International Day of Prayer, 2010 (IDOP).

My servants, this is a dire situation facing my kingdom.  This year the prayers will be for the persecuted church.  You know who is doing the persecuting?  This means that these prayers will be directed personally against me and my best work on earth.  In fact, the IDOP website reads like my hall of fame:

There are many countries in the world today where Christians are martyred for their faith. Believers in Afghanistan are facing death threats; Christians in Uzbekistan, Nigeria and many other countries all around the world face violence, imprisonment and even death.  There are other places in the world such as North Korea where acts of persecution take place, but we don’t see or hear of it. Brother Andrew of Open Doors once said, “Our heroes are not with us simply because they are in prison.”

Ah, it’s good to be noticed.

But I have one correction to IDOPs website, which states that “IDOP is a time set apart for us to remember thousands of our Christian brothers and sisters around the world who suffer persecution, simply because they confess Jesus Christ as Lord.”

Uh . . . no.  It’s not “simply because they confess Jesus Christ as Lord.”  If that was all someone did, I would hardly lift a finger.  I may even ensure his or her comfort in life, maybe a little deceitfulness of riches to stunt her spiritual growth a bit.   Simply confess Jesus Christ as Lord?  The world is full of people who do that, and nothing more.  The United States if full of them–self-righteous, easy-believing, church-going confessors.  

Sure there are some whom I persecute merely for confessing; I’ve succeeded in laying claim to entire countries in which merely confessing will get you roughed up.  But overall I love the mere confessors, because virtually all of them are lukewarm, just the way I like it.  Some I have lost from my kingdom, but at least none are actively about the business of setting other captives free.  Mostly I just leave mere confessors alone, letting them imagine that every bad thing that happens to them is “persecution” from me.  Ha ha ha ha ha.

It’s not the “confessors” who give me grief; it’s the doers.  It is those doing the will of God whom I persecute.  I hate hands and feet that carry the Gospel.  I hate hearts that care for the less fortunate with tangible giving.  I hate missionaries, I hate preachers, I hate ordinary people  on the streets sharing Jesus Christ in a way that brings hope and light into darkness.

But simply confess?  Go ahead, make your day.

For those doing damage to my kingdom, however, I have no plans to ever letting up.  I have no intention of letting the IDOP interfere substantially with my work on earth.  So know my servants that I and my demons are up to the task of thwarting all efforts at alleviating suffering, releasing prisoners, and ending torture of Christians.  In years past we noticed that in fact very few Christians actually prayed on the IDOP.  They talk about praying, they announce the IDOP, they have meetings, websites, bulletins, and rallies, but very few actually pray.

But we must nevertheless stop the prayers of those with good intentions, as it will make our task much more likely to succeed.  As long as we can keep people from praying, we will be OK.  So I will be working overtime over the next week making sure that those who can pray don’t.  I will fill their lives with good things to which they can apply their time and energy.  I will set distractions in their path, and draw them away with mindless entertainment.  I will make sure that they have ample opportunity to set their minds on things below, not on things above.  It’s easy, really.

International Day of Prayer?  Go ahead, try to stop me.  Ha ha ha ha ha.

An urgent call to inaction

Posted in missionaries, prayer, Uncategorized, world missions with tags , on October 17, 2010 by devilbloggger

My servants, I don’t like prayer, at least not prayer to you-know-who.  A believer’s prayer to you-know-who can tear my kingdom to pieces.

I know many of you are weak, and find yourself praying from time to time.  But if ever there was a time to not pray, please do not pray now, and please do not pray for an event that has the potential to do great and lasting damage to my kingdom.

The event in question is one that has kept me up nights for weeks now.  At first I was going to ignore it as just another ineffective feel-good get-together of busybody Christians.  But the prayer volume began in great earnest some days ago, and based on that alone I realized that this will be no ordinary week for me and mine.

I’m speaking, with some trepidation, and only for the purpose of aligning my faithful to inaction, of the Third International Congress on World Evangelization in Lausanne that kicked off today in Cape Town, South Africa, and ends on October 25th.

This weekend and the next few days will be unusually hectic for me as we scramble to neutralize any efforts of a large band of enemy combatants–over 4,000 leaders from more than 200 countries who intend to confront the critical issues of our time – other world faiths, poverty, HIV/AIDS, persecution, among others – as they relate to the future of the Church and world evangelization.

Critical issues is right!  Everything on their list is an issue I love and embrace and wish to see continued unabated.  So, my servants, we must not aid the enemy in his efforts.

The prayer event is explained in this article at Mission News Network, entitled,  ”World changers to meet in Cape Town to talk strategy.” 

Now ordinarily, “world changers” are on my side, and I am excited to help them.  But these “world changers” are not on my side, and I’m excited to oppose them.  According to this article, this conference is:

. . . a picture of the body of Christ, united in making His name central. That’s a driving force behind Cape Town 2010, the Third Lausanne Congress on World Evangelization. It’s a ten-day gathering that begins October 16.

 The body of Christ!  On earth?

This is dangerous to my kingdom, my servants.  What you need to know is that in past meetings major ministry directions, like the 10/40 Window, got defined.  And that insight of Christ’s body alone caused anguish and gnashing of teeth down here as previously unreached captives began to be set free.

My servants, setting captives free is exactly what I oppose with all my might.  Please help me here by remembering to NOT pray for this gathering.  If you are weak, and find yourself praying some mealy-mouth prayer out of habit, at least do not mention this conference or any of the people involved.

Here is a specific non-prayer request:  I’ve already been successful in blocking a delegation from one of the most troublesome hot spots of the gospel: China.  An article entitled, “Chinese Christians blocked from world evangelization conference” quotes Bob Fu, the China analyst for Voice of the Martyrs USA and the founder of China Aid Association:

At least 21 Lausanne delegates in Beijing were prevented from going.  Most of them, among the 200, were all blocked from either the airport or even in their homes, under house arrest.”

Ha ha ha ha ha!

Blocked!  By me!  (Why don’t I ever get credit in print?)

But there is no rest for the wicked!  Fu is calling for action:

Fu also urges believers to “pray for their family members, and pray that they will stand firm on the Gospel and without compromising their faith.”

So, my servants, I call for inaction.  We must counter prayers with non-prayers and negative, hateful thoughts.  You do your part, and I will do mine.

And my will be done in Cape Town as it is in Hell.

It’s Sunday morning somewhere

Posted in Devil, prayer, Uncategorized with tags , , , on October 10, 2010 by devilbloggger

NOTE:  Voter Issue Guide Part 3 coming up next week, AND a complete voter issue guide on October 31.

It’s Sunday morning in China.  Still early, but things are already heating up.

I can tell; things really start hopping around here on Sundays, and it starts with a mess of praying and crying out to God in China.  Like fingernails on a chalkboard, yikes!  

I can’t figure it out; I don’t see any church buildings, I see very few Bibles, I don’t see any large gatherings of well-dressed people driving nice cars like I’m used to seeing in Western churches.  And on top of all that, I enforce some pretty heavy-handed persecution in China.  I’ve separated families, brought government sanctions, I’ve put fathers in prison, and more than once I even had people killed! 

But the prayer volume!  The resounding cacophony in my ears of earnest prayers!  Where can it be coming from?  And why?

Over the last 40 years or so I’ve re-assigned some of my best assets into China.  Most of these demons transferred from duty in Europe where their talent was no longer needed.  Other than Discouragement and Despair, my best teams were spending most of their time in low-value activities, like harassing random Youth for Christ kids.   

But in China?  Even with the added heat of some high-powered tribulators on duty, and using our most diabolical methods, we still find we have to scramble like mad men to stop all the prayer traffic out of China. 

And the strange thing is that most of the prayers are prayers of thanksgiving.  For what?  For WHAT?  I don’t get it.  In America people have every luxury they could want, and all I hear out of them are prayers for more.  We let those go.  But prayers of thanksgiving are particularly grating on our ears, and we do all we can to stamp them out.

Oh, there they are now!  Are my ears bleeding?

Once Sunday morning gets to Europe we all take a little breather.  As I mentioned, there’s usually little activity of note there, although we typically dispatch a few swat teams into Africa.  And then there’s the time over the Atlantic ocean before Sunday morning arrives in the United States where things pick up a bit.  Although we rarely have any substantive battles in the US–just a little distracting annoyances here and there will neutralize most of my enemies there–we still gear up for the occasional struggle in the heavens.  It seems like despite our best efforts at swamping church-goers with the worries of this life and the deceitfulness of wealth, there are still some pretty feisty prayer pockets scattered about in that land.  

And, I must admit, although it is still largely isolated and ineffective, the prayer activity in the United States seems to have grown in the last year or two.  What’s going on in the US?  Will someone tell me?  Help me out here, servants of mine.

Once the sun goes back over the Pacific most of us get a little respite until the next week.  Many of mine come back battered and beaten.  A few brag about their exploits, but most drag back with an air of defeat.  It’s all I can do to threate. . ., I mean pump them up, to get them to go back into the battle. 

So I will be out of pocket until Monday morning.  Work to do.

Discouragement! to China! Go now (yes NOW, you little runts)!  Despair! prepare for Europe! Laziness and Complacency! stay vigilant in the United States! Come on, at least sit up straight!

Whew, boy.
