Satire from The Borowitz Report
Lauren Boebert Claims Nineteenth Amendment Does Not Exist Because God Gave Moses Only Ten Amendments
By Andy Borowitz
September 12, 2022
WASHINGTON (The Borowitz Report)—As critics questioned whether she knew what the Nineteenth Amendment is, Rep. Lauren Boebert stated that “the Nineteenth Amendment doesn’t exist because God gave Moses only Ten Amendments.”
The Colorado lawmaker said that people who believe that there are nineteen amendments “need to turn off their NPR and pick up the good ol’ Bible.”
“God stood up on that mountain and said, ‘Here you go, Moses, my top Ten Amendments,’ ” she said. “Where are these bozos getting the idea that there are nineteen?”
Boebert said that God gave Moses only Ten Amendments “because more than that would be hard to chisel into the tablets and whatnot,” she said.
“If you had nineteen amendments, Moses would have had to carve ten on one tablet and eight on the other,” she said.

Religious cults, like Catholicism has really put the fucking whack on this beautiful ball that's on a journey some-fing-where ( I'm sure some have noticed that I just love that inter-fix " f'ing "..........not aware of others , must be more ). I have two bigtime Christians living down the road......so pious.....such fucking pricks and mean ! I swear , the harder those very confused ass-wipes pound that Bible , the worse they are ! Many Christians around here like eveywhere.....I just shake my f'ing head when they turn down a starving , freezing animal in the dead of winter ( probably abandoned). My father never participated in that realm........he called the hypocrites " Holy Rollers " , assholes all week then holier-than-thou on Sunday. I spared my children the brainwash but always encouraged them to examine all of them. We are freethinkers.......(not cattle).......not " herdable".............original thought takes precedent, of course ! Don't even get me going on those fucking warped missionaries who " spread the word " and turn people's beliefs and world upside-f'ing-down ! ( dont peel my ass , I am aware they have provided much needed assistance ( food/water etc.) .......then they gotta fuck it all up with their religious bullshit jibber-jabber !

If Jesus died for our sins', and not accepting Jesus as god is blasphemy, a sin, then did Jesus die for us to not accept him as god?

Christians say secks is bad and then those hardcore fundamentalist families are the ones with like 10+ kids.did ya really need ten kids? was each and every one of those a procreative attempt? be fruitful and multiply eh? here's a question are you allowed to enjoy procreative sex or if you're making a baby do you just pump and dump in 30 sec like those porn ads and any sensual enjoyment whatsoever is taboo?
I don't know these things anymore I haven't been to church or cracked a bible in like 14 years. I thought I was atheist for awhile but I like buddhism on a lot of things which although not a religion is a school of thought. Or maybe I just don't like to think of it as religion. I don't like thinking of myself as a religious person.

Child raising. The bible says (paraphrased) to chasten children with a rod and that they won't die (corporal punishment is practiced throughout the world, although some countries have outlawed it). Science tells us that using physical punishment with kids causes lifelong problems: lowered self-esteem, mental health issues including depression, more aggressiveness and anger.

I agree our purpose is survival.Just because it's more comfortable for you to believe that matter has purpose doesn't make it so.
Again, you're adding the qualifier that matter has purpose, which is completely whimsical and unsubstantiated. It seems to me you think matter has purpose because your theory relies on it to make sense, that's circular.
Do you mean laws of physics? I fail to see how this points to intelligent design...
Useless space and particles aren't thought to have existed before the big bang, no one knows for sure what was before the big bang.....
I assure you, there is nothing "magical" about it. Just because we don't know everything about a given topic does not mean we should inject it with god to explain away the problems. Problems are good, they lead to solutions. Reminds me of a cartoon;
This proves a testable principle in QM, but says nothing about god existing....
If it can react with reality it's not metaphysical, it's physical. If it's physical, it's testable. If it's testable show me the test, or stop making untestable knowledge claims.
No, good ideas are created throught a very complex and intelligent process. Bad ideas are a dime a dozen...
You're correct ideas don't fall from the sky, humans come up with them to try to explain what they see and before we knew anything about anything what made the most sense was that an intelligent force was pulling strings from behind the scenes. Now we can explain exponentially more about reality, and don't need to shove 'god' into the equation.
What? You think we're here to help with the survival of other animals? You lost me...
So, you go from using QM for the basis of your argument, which says that anything is possible given enough time, to dismissing the idea that out of the billions and billions of galaxies that exist, and out of the billions and billions of planets in each of those galaxies, it's not possible for more life to have evolved under similar circumstances to us?
You keep using words like "creation" to describe us and animals when we evolved from simple single celled organisms. It's pretty well documented, it's called evolution. You should really check it out.
It's not just us on earth.... 99% of species that have ever existed are now extinct.
I wouldn't say it was spontaneous either, it happened according to the laws of physics and natural selection
All species have a biological motivation to reproduce, it's literally the only reason we exist. If we didn't have that drive, no one would reproduce and the species would die. Just look at the fucking pandas....
This is all completely explainable through biology...
Not really, one is alive and one is not. All living things on earth came from the same primordial soup, x billion years ago, so how would it make sense if we didn't have some of the same basic biological drives?
What?
The same reason rocks and gold can't heal themselves, they're non-living things.
We derive purpose from our environment, not god. Before we had agriculture your purpose in life would be to run around trying not to die in too brutal of a death, while hunting and gathering food when it was available.
Purpose? Our purpose is survival.
Matter can't be created or destroyed, the "beginning" could have very well been the "end" of a previous universe.

Copernicus.... 1400's , I think he " kicked the ball off , heliocentric model vs earth was center of universe that the church advocated......
I'll bet just like all the hundreds of members in Congress , not an atheist registered among them.
Not too many things that twist my guts like religion.....everyone peddling their brand of horseshit. Went to St. VIncent's de Paul school and church......still pissed off about it.....my as well been in a Medieval setting What a f'ing waste of precious time. Ya know what really gets my gag-reflex going.......fucking missionaries.....they covered the globe spreading that poison! Just takes a small group of fuck-ups to get the ball rolling. Swallowing all that shit is f'ing astounding to me. However , if it gets you through the day and night, you're very lucky your brain is so small.

And most of their "gods" resemble nothing found in the Bible.
Just because someone is not an atheist does not mean they believe in an anthropomorphic diety.
Einstein was agnostic. Planck was not a Christian. Galileo faked it to preserve his own life. Pascal never won his Wager. Copernicus contradicted the Bible. Etc.
Our purpose is not survival, it is experience.

They are 100% indeed the biggest and most dangerous cults that exist. Their " spreading the word " has resulted in so much death/crimes against humanity.

I think we otta have a few cocktails, several fatties and then go kick all of their holy ( whatever the f that is ) asses . In Scotland they converted some very , very old churches ( huge blocks stone , beautiful stained glass, fantastic architecture........) into f'ing bars. Didn't change anything , just pulled out those pews ( spelling ) and put in beautiful bar . I loved it......bet the Pope doesn't.
