Top Ten South Park Episodes on Religion

IGN TV has compiled a list of the top ten South Park episodes that poke fun at religion. It’s no secret that Matt Stone and Trey Parker bring to light the fallacies of organized religion whenever possible. They even bring out the inner hypocrite in some without intending to do so.  A perfect example of this is Isaac Hayes’ response to the Trapped In The Closet episode.  It seemed perfectly fine to Hayes that Christianity and Mormonism were knocked on a regular basis, but once Scientology was displayed as the insanely idiotic cult that it is, he decided to leave South Park. And I thought religions were supposed to be tolerant.

The list definitely contains some of my favourites – especially Go God Go.  I don’t think I’ve ever laugh so hard in my life as when I saw Richard Dawkins doing Mrs. Garrison doggy-style. And, there’s also Red Hot Catholic Love which shows that the apparent issue with sex scandals in the Catholic church has nothing to do with the molesting and raping of kids, but with the fact that these kids report it.

O’Reilly and Dawkins on Evolution in the Classroom

Just when I think the nutjobs over at Fox News can’t get any nuttier.

The Four Horsemen

These guys are definitely the four best known atheists in the world. Richard Dawkins, Christopher Hitchens, Sam Harris and Daniel Dennett sat down a couple of years ago to speak about their views on religion, god, atheism and a whole lot more in an unmoderated setting. The result was two hours of excellent video. I have re-posted the full two hours below in two parts. If you have the bandwidth (who doesn’t these days), I would recommend watching the videos in HD.

Quick Update

Hi all. I’m sorry I haven’t posted in a while (to this blog or Twitter). I have been extremely busy and haven’t had much time for anything that doesn’t have to do IPAM, DNS or DHCP. On the upside, I have been able to get a lot of reading done when flying – I find it helps keep me sharp. I am about 130 pages into Richard Dawkins’ The GOD Delusion and it has been a great read so far.

Anyway, gotta run……

Chris.
