Things you wish you had the courage to say
I wish I had the courage to go up to someone at a urinal and say, "Sir, are you aware that you're leaking coolant at an alarming rate? Let me just patch you up with some hot resin..."
WTMFH?

I wish I had the courage to deface the Catholic Church's official site and say "I did it because...".

And how would that help turn people's opinions against theism? You'd just make people more symapthetic with the die-hard creationists and other idiots (all of them (creationists) are idiots, this is a position I am willing to defend).
Hmm. Maybe. It depends on the quality and subtly of the defacement. Swapping new-testament quotes with old-testament quotes, and it also depends who I said I defaced the site to.

Let's face it: usually, "average" humans aren't interested in thinking by themselves. For most people, organized religion is the most effective way to make them understand they shouldn't kill, steal, and all that. Remove religion and what is left is every man by himself. I've heard religious people saying that "if there's no God then anything is allowed". They don't keep from doing harm because it's the right and fair thing to do, they do it because they want to avoid punishment. I wouldn't want to convince these people that there might be no God.
I wouldn't do it to turn people against the Catholic Church. I know that's a bad idea. I'd just want a good substitute for punching the pope in the face.

@filipe,
Yeah; I posted about this. It's a shame, really. I guess some people really do need an old book to tell them what to think. This kind of thing really ought to stop though: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dGxBUyHbn2E
It's full of circular reasoning and indoctrination. Apparently they even hand out a book about refuting evolution (I can confidently say I could refute EVERY argument in that book, be it on factual or logical grounds. This is a book written by people who think the terms "micro-evolution" and "macro-evolution" make sense, when in reality what they refer to as "macro-evolution" is really just "micro-evolution" over a long period of time; the "two" things are really one and the same. The other "impossible to answer" question is something like "Can you give me an example of a genetic mutation which adds information?"; but even if I couldn't (and I can (salamanders, which usually lay eggs, that give birth to live offspring)) it doesn't matter because that's still evolution anyway, so the question is completely pointless).

This was a fun topic with joking.
How did it turn into an unfun topic with religion bashing in 2 posts?
That's some kinda record.

Yah, fair point. Bad move on my part.
Another thing I'd love to have the courage to do is to call Rush Limbaugh and tell him that Sid Rawle will be replacing him on his show.

Every year from my freshman to senior year of highschool they had the same speaker come in and tell the same story about the same dead son of hers who died when a drunk driver hit him while he was walking home on prom night. There are several things I'd like to say to her as I know her son. I say know and not knew cause he is still alive. and she's just a lying bitch trying to guilt and scare us into not doing something most of us are too mature and smart to do anyways.
First: ( as I stand up at the end of her speech where she says "any questions" ) "YOUR SON'S DEAD"
Second: (same moment): "How does it feel to be able to tell the story of your son's death so many times and not feel anything? I say that since you're not crying, and you don't seem to be showing any other forms of distress..."
I'd say these knowing her son isn't dead, and maybe that'd guilt her into NOT telling the damned story and making us feel bad when those who drank at my school where the minority and i could of better spent my time you know..learning something.

@MottMan,
Sure, I like it, but I'm not a huge fan. I think some of the jokes are a little lame, but then you get a line like the one I posted every now-and-again, so that makes it worth watching.
