Komin heim

Við Ólöf lentum á Íslandi 20. júní og erum alkomin heim. Við viljum þakka öllum þeim sem komu í heimsókn til okkar og þeim fáu sem höfðu þolinmæði í að fylgjast með einhverju alversta bloggpari Íslandssögunnar.

Takk fyrir okkur.

Í öðrum fréttum var George Carlin, heimspekingur og grínisti, að deyja, 71 ára. Hann var einhver fyndnasti maður í heimi og var almennt á móti trúarbrögðum, hræsni og annarri vitleysu. Megir þú hvíla í friði.

In the Bullshit Department, a businessman can't hold a candle to a clergyman. 'Cause I gotta tell you the truth, folks. When it comes to bullshit, big-time, major league bullshit, you have to stand in awe of the all-time champion of false promises and exaggerated claims: religion. No contest. No contest. Religion. Religion easily has the greatest bullshit story ever told.

Think about it. Religion has actually convinced people that there's an invisible man -- living in the sky -- who watches everything you do, every minute of every day. And the invisible man has a special list of ten things he does not want you to do. And if you do any of these ten things, he has a special place, full of fire and smoke and burning and torture and anguish, where he will send you to live and suffer and burn and choke and scream and cry forever and ever 'til the end of time!

But He loves you. He loves you, and He needs money! He always needs money! He's all-powerful, all-perfect, all-knowing, and all-wise, somehow just can't handle money! Religion takes in billions of dollars, they pay no taxes, and they always need a little more. Now, you talk about a good bullshit story. Holy Shit!
