EUREKA! I'VE FOUND IT! I am now a Jibbers Crabstian

[A HERETIC I AM]

Matt Inman, creator of "The Oatmeal" explains the one, true god;

1. BAHFest is possibly the most wonderful thing ever.

It is geekery at a whole 'nother level.

[mountain grammy]

2. Hysterical!

[Binkie The Clown]

3. Faith (noun)

"A magical wizard sauce that, when drunk, allows you to say, do, and believe the dumbest shit imaginable and still feel right."

4. The Oatmeal’s sacrilege steams up believers

From Jerry Coyne's Why Evolution is True blog:

The Oatmeal’s sacrilege steams up believers

Matthew Inman, producer of the fantastic strip The Oatmeal (including one of my favorite comics, The Bobcats), is lately on a tear by promoting evolution in a sarcastic way and dissing the religious alternative as belief in “Jibbers Crabst,” a Holy Crustacean that breathes fire.

First watch this 11-minute video by Inman that appeared on YouTube on December 5; it’s from BAHFest West 2014, whatever that is. You’ll recognize some of the creationist tropes. It’s a wonderful and absolutely hilarious talk, highly recommended by Professor Ceiling Cat.

Be sure to watch the sign-language woman, too; you’ll learn how to make signs for “priapism” and “persistent erection,” which I think amused the audience no end.

Don't forget to read the enlightening and hilarious comments.

5. 'The Oatmeals' Matthew Inman has received a little hate mail about 'Jibbers Crabst'.

I think Robert posts on DU ...

The Oatmeal handled it beautifully.

11. The guy takes Genius to a whole 'nother level. I'll be running in the Beat the Blerch marathon

this year.

Jibbers be praised!

8. Where would we be without a sense of humour, eh?

In church, probably.

[trotsky]

9. LOL

Well played.

12. Ha! Ever searched on the term "Xian Humor?"

I just did. Most Xian Humor sites specify that they contain only "CLEAN Christian Jokes." So no one has to worry, they are pre-censored to make sure the Believing Brain won't be offended.

Unless maybe the reader is a woman, since one site had a whole section of "blonde jokes."

Here's a typical knee-slapper found at godslittleacre.net. I have to wonder if they know where the term "God's Little Acre" came from - a fairly raunchy novel by Erskine Caldwell:

An elderly lady was well known for her faith and for her boldness and talking about it. She would stand on her front porch and shout, "Praise the Lord!"

Next door to her lived an atheist who would get so angry at her proclamations he would shout, "There ain't no Lord!!"

Hard times set in on the elderly lady and she prayed for God to send her some assistance. She stood on her porch and shouted, "Praise the Lord!! God, I need FOOD!! I am having a hard time. Please, Lord, send me some groceries!!"

The next morning, the lady went out on her porch and saw a large bag of groceries and shouted, "Praise the Lord!!"

The neighbor jumped from behind a bush and said, "Ha Ha!! I told you there was no Lord. I bought those groceries. God didn't."

The lady started jumping up and down and clapping her hands and saying, "PRAISE THE LORD!!! He not only sent me groceries, but He made the devil pay for them!!"

IMO, that "joke" says a lot more about Xians than atheists.

14. I don't think blonde jokes are that offencive

Here's one:

Why are Blonde jokes so short?

So men can remember them.

[A HERETIC I AM]

16. Why do Blondes have black and blue belly buttons?

Cause blonde dudes are stupid too.

[beam me up scottie]

13. I'd rather laugh with the sinners than cry with the saints...

So the song goes.

[deucemagnet]

15. That's the single most articulate example of Christian outrage

that I've ever read. Humorless and wrong, but eloquent, nonetheless.

[Novara]

10. Praise Jibbers!

And pass the garlic-butter sauce.

And they think atheists are humorless. Bah!
