What should you do when you run out of stuff to say?
Keep talking!
If you’re talking about godless religion…nobody will notice anyway.
Recently read a melancholy post from an atheist blogger.
He’s run out of ideas.
In his words, this is partly because:
“…you can only go on and on about something for so long before it gets old.”
Boy, that’s the truth!
If that ‘something’ is atheism, it gets old before you finish the first sentence.
He goes on:
“What with most of the anti-religious YouTubers going after Islam and turning their attention to politics, mainly because it’s more relevant, I can’t help but feel that I’m beating a dead horse.”
To be clear, atheism starts with a dead horse.
(All dead horses are atheists by definition.*)
YouTubers are certainly a fickle bunch of experts.
It’s as if they care more about their view count than the truthfulness of the content.
And then, this:
“Creationists were really defeated in the court of public opinion back in 2014 after the Bill Nye vs Ken Ham debate, and from what I’ve seen around, they don’t look like the massive foe that they once were, and I wonder if the debate around religion is going a tad stale.”
Bill Nye (‘Science Guy’) has moved mankind past the need for religion.
Bill Nye (‘Science Guy’) pretty much answered every question we’ve ever had about God.
Religion is just not interesting anymore.
On to more relevant topics!
…Like care and feeding of horses.
Or…maybe…
The logical, philosophical pursuit of truth…
“I have little patience these days for abstract and philosophical debates – a complex debate about the definitions and meanings of words and terms like ‘truth’, ‘reality’ and ‘logic’ gets on my nerves, and I don’t see how that could ever prove the existence of the Christian God.”
…I guess not.
Thinking does get tedious, doesn’t it.
Let’s chuck all that abstract, logical stuff and dig into topics of real relevance to humankind.
Who is married to Jennifer Anniston now?
*Atheism is ‘a lack of belief in god(s)’. Every dead animal (not just horses) is an atheist. Most living animals are atheists too, with the exception of a few billion humans who don’t trust Bill Nye’s omniscience.

You know JB is serving up his extra special sandwiches when Ark, Tildeb, and Baby Bird show up. It’s almost a quorum.
“Hey Tildeb and Baby Bird – JB’s making more sandwiches!” said the wise teacher. “Let’s go smell them … again!”
Ark – You should mention the Human Genome Project again. You know – the science led by that Christian guy that was indoctrinated as an agnostic and was atheist for a time (all before becoming a Christian). HGP seems to be your go to.

Wait, I’ve been calling her “Cheerleader!”
When did she earn “Baby Bird???”
I have a lot of pictures of cheerleaders, but I can start posting these from now on:

You know how baby birds hang around in the nest – and wait for their mother to feed them?
Same thing.
Relevant scientists approve of both nicknames.

*snort* !
I think Baby Bird is my new fav!
Wow, we should all be glad that Bill Nye came along when He did! Otherwise we’d still all be stupidly believing in creation and God and stuff. (really? We’re gonna put all our hopes on that guy?!)

Good grief. You won’t find any of that here written by you, John B.
And the ‘dead horse’ that’s being talked about by atheists is whenever you use your illogical, anti-philosophical lies to justify privileging pernicious religious ideas and use the cover of religion it to make deceitful and factually incorrect statements of faith masquerading as if knowledge claims.
If you want to call these dishonest posts a ‘dead horse’ that atheists beat on, then by all means.
Gee, John. If you’re bored stiff on your vacation, I have a suggestion for you. (and it doesn’t include taking potshots at atheists, either. .. ) 😉
He set this post to publish while he was gone. So he can take potshots at Atheists AND enjoy his time away at the same time! But thanks for the concern.
Here’s another picture of a cheerleader for you:

Charming, mrsmcmum. Just like you. 🙂
Well, at least this post pretty much clears up any doubt why Mrsmc is mentally unstable.
How to derail your kids, by John Branyon –
Maybe you could write a book, John? Or even a new bunch of gags for a show?
I would say shame on you but then you are not well so that might be construed as a bit cruel.
LMAOARKENTEN! Really!
Hey Ark –
Thanks for reminding me about those that are “mentally unstable”.
Why did you drop out of “the thread”?
Was it your “genuine empathy” for those you long to save from indoctrination?
Was it your “confidence in your belief/argument”?
Were you unable to honestly answer the question posed to you in “the thread” while simultaneously maintaining confidence in your belief/argument?
How does one “frame a question in acceptable terms” anyway?
Who decides whether or not a question is framed in acceptable terms?
