AA: A Good reason for being an atheist |
A GOOD REASON FOR BEING AN ATHEIST
http://www.randi.org/joom/content/view/141/1/#i4
Reader Linh Vien Thai writes from Japan:
"I have a close friend who knows a fellow who is traveling and writing
about weird places. There’s a place in Mexico where Mayans are
worshiping in the weirdest ways. Culturally they believe that
belching/burping is "evil" leaving the body. Hence the traditional
belching concoction has now been replaced by the more cost-effective
Coca Cola.
Imagine that!
I thought it’s a joke, but it’s not. See
philipcoppens.com/chamula.html. I believe our traveler is an atheist
who’s found a great example of why he is one. It’s hard to imagine but
then again when it comes to fundamental believers, anything goes."

This is from a cassette tape, might have been "Class Clown" that a bunch of
my friends and I used to listen to when we went to a friend's family's cabin
in Upper Greenwood Lake, NJ and spent the weekend drinking beer and getting
stoned (late 70's). We listened to it constantly and it never got old ;)

Exactly. Then we'd listen to rock and sometimes 'Mary Jane' might make a
guest appearance too. Ah, the good old days! :-)

Yes. Some of my friends had him on albums. We'd get together and drink
beer and listen to him too.
Good times, good times ;)
Exactly. Then we'd listen to rock and sometimes 'Mary Jane' might make a

Yes indeedy. Listened to a lot of "Dark Side of the Moon".
Beatles, Rolling Stones, Dylan, Hendrix, et al. for me. I believe we are

Imagine that!

Uh, can the spirits be expelled the other way?
I have had spirits expelled through my nose after chugging neat
tequila...
On seeing that, the Mayans might have made you a god.
Tear your heart out infidel!
With this blunt stone knife.
Your GOD Commands it!!
Actually I heard that the obsidian knives that they used for their
sacrifices were quite sharp. Not that it probably made much difference.
Well spotted.
Apparently there are world class surgeons who insist on obsidian
scalpel blades as they keep their keen edge for longer than steel
ones.
Seriously.
I recall reading that some time ago too. Those priests were pretty good
heart surgeons. Unfortunately none of their 'patients' survived.
