Self-deprecation is worth its weight in smoldering phoenix-ashes and baby unicorn tears.
SanChonino's Articles In Religion

So I was just playing around on the Church of the Flying Spaghetti Monster website earlier today, and I found the 'Hate Mail (and concerned criticism)' section.  It's a treasure trove of very godlike behavior from concerned citizens who feel compelled to call the Pastafarians on the errors of their ways. Here's some of my favorites, edited for the kiddies (and when I mean edited, I mean edited.  Each change I've made for decency's sake will be italicized). -- This is just p...

It's been a long time since I've shat out an article of randumb thoughts.  Maybe it's about time.  (Maybe I'm just delaying typing the next journal entry, because I'm lazy.  But then, I'm typing this, so I don't know how accurate that portrayal would be.) -- Emmy Rossum, please make a new movie.  You're amazingly delicious to look upon, and it's been too long since Phantom of the Opera .  I know you were in that Poseidon movie, but it looked dumb, so I haven...

24 Apr 2008.  6:28pm. What is it about the empty page that has suddenly become so imposing? I've sat here staring at this blank notebook with nothing but a date and a page number written for almost an hour. What's happened? Maybe that's just it.  Nothing worth mentioning has happened since the last time I wrote in here. Boring, boring life. But at least I'm alive - I like that better than the alternatives at this point. Why do I like that better, though?  I'm ...

Gotta love those crazy Floridians. It seems as though there's a motion being put forward to make a new specialty license plate that you can purchase in the 'great' state of Florida.  Yes, that's right - rather than plastering another in your fleet of Jesus fish on the back of your car, you can slap a cross on your actual license plate. Wanna see what they're considering?  It's just glorious, let me tell you. Wow.  That's just . . . special. My issue w...

I know, I know, I know.  You're saying to yourself - What if Jesus what?  What if he wasn't the Son of God?  What if he didn't exist? No, my friends.  It's something far more sinister. What if Jesus had turned to the dark side of the force? -- I'll just let that sink in for a minute there. ... Okay?  Properly sunk in? Here's what I think would've happened.  He would have become like Caesar's right-hand man, you know?  Like...

A new post from Spain.  I want to apologize for my last couple.  They were inappropriate, and now no longer exist.

Friends, Romans, countrymen, once again I come to bore you with tales from the other side of the world.  Just wait until you hear what happened last night, though.

More crap from you-know-where.  You probably don't care anymore. Oh well.  Whatever. -- 11 Mar 2008.  3:42 pm. Sitting in the basement, watching the clothes spin in the dryer. There are other things I could and should be doing, rather than being trapped by the jumble of my own clothes.  Their motion seems to be the only thing that can hold my attention.  My Elliott homework isn't going to get done today.  Neither is the critical analysis of Valle-Incl...

Let no man deceive you by any means: for that day shall not come, except there come a falling away first, and that man of sin be revealed, the son of perdition; 2Thess. 2:3 This is one of the best-known verses in the Bible to support the idea of the coming of the Antichrist, set to come shortly before the second coming of the big guy himself. Much speculation has been made by alarmists as to who this man may be (with people asserting that it may be Prince Chucky of Wales or Georgie Po...

There has been an increase in activity, lately, by one of the supposed “religious” denizens of this fine site. (In fact, there's been a LOT of increased activity from the Religion forums in general, and a lot of mean stuff has gone down . . . oh well. That's the point of religion, isn't it? To divide and conquer? ) But this specific blogger has been especially liberal with his deletion of comments, and not just from myself. He has deleted, without provocation, and only because he di...

I read this article today in the Deseret Morning News, and I thought you'd find it interesting: Abstinence education not working, study finds WASHINGTON — Programs that focus exclusively on abstinence have not been shown to affect teenager sexual behavior, although they are eligible for tens of millions of dollars in federal grants, according to a study released by a nonpartisan group that seeks to reduce teen pregnancies. "At present there does not exist any strong evidence that an...

The setting sun burned blood red in the sky, shining down over Tenochtitlán as Rodrigo slowly stepped up the sides of the temple, making his way slowly to the top. Some sort of commotion was developing on the pyramid, and the rest of his small battalion was still out searching for news concerning the fighting force of Velázquez and whether or not he had truly come to punish Cortés for his insubordinance. Rodrigo heard the heavy sounds of the native speech, that foreign tongue of Nahuatl, ...

This was originally going to be a pithy one-liner about how the only cereal worth serving in heaven is Cinnamon Toast Crunch. (You people don't understand what that cereal does to me - and I've got FIVE FULL BOXES in my possession RIGHT NOW. ) But, in constructing a line full of pith, I began thinking. What would I really like heaven to be like? What would make some place in the hereafter HEAVEN for me? So I thought that rather than subject the internet to my usual sarcastic comment...

So. I was reading a collection of Far Side comics to take my mind off my pressing need to do some homework, and I stumbled across one that was just hilarious. Ernie is sitting in his armchair, reading the morning paper, and his phone rings. It's God, trying to call 555-5447. But Ernie's number is 555-5547 or something really close to it. So God hangs up. Top that off with the wondrous caption, "From that day forward, Ernie told everyone he had talked with God." And it got me to thi...

The Westboro Baptist "Church" strikes again! It seems as though these virulent, godless inbred retards have sent a fax to the Deseret Morning News regarding the mine collapse here in the state. It begins with the words, "Thank God for Utah mine disaster." It continues to read that they're going to picket in Utah, with huge banners reading "God Hates Fags!" If (but at this point, it's becoming more and more likely when) they have funerals for any dead miners, they've pledged to be here...
