You guys may want to work a little bit harder on the exegesis next time. Yikes.

I enjoy the show, but the one thing people fail to realize is the quiz and other standards that people put out whether you are a good person is not pass/fail. It is to easily point out that we all fail. “For all men have sinned and Fallen short of the glory of God.”

It isn’t designed to try to figure out a way to claim you haven’t sinned. It is designed to show that we all have sinned.

The great thing is, we are all given the ability to choose to believe this or right it off as stupid and childish.

Personally, I am guilty.

I’m so delighted for #71! I have many opinions about many things but couldn’t possibly ever post them here because I’m too busy laughging or trying to laugh at those that have gone before me… (that are at least half my age) BUT… the I’m posting to help ensure (probably needlessly) that the smodcast/viewaskew/kevinsmith demographic is complete – I know it’s an 8years old to 80years old kinda deal and I’m in the middle there somewhere so… uh… rock on smodcast! and Kevin Smith movies! and Mosier makin them happen! and the Duck making the website happen! And… does anyone remember ‘the freakies’ cereal? It had a really cool theme song…

Hilarious podcast despite the caption. I like the point that sending people to Hell for believing something different sounds like hatred itself. Incidentally, Bertrand Russell also noted something like this in “Why I Am Not a Christian.”

Jesus does say that hating someone is equal to killing them, in at least NIV.

Holy Jesus! Kirk Cameron is a simpleton! As usual, evangelical Christians show how ignorant they are regarding the history of their own religion.

Thanks Kev and Mo for another hillarious SMODCast. Mosier’s Hitler impression is awesome!

That was a pretty good SModcast. My boyfriend actually just broke up with me because he and I have religious differences. Woo. Go God. He’s Catholic and I hate religion. :]

My wife divorced me because of SMODcast (and porno). She has been replaced with a beautiful 1 year-old dachshund named “Martini Girl” and a years supply of Cialis. We are both happy but not gay.

Sad to say this was a pretty boring episode. Hoping for a better one next week.

well if the dog’s called martini GIRL and you’re wife split then you are not gay. beastiality is a whole other genre.

note… i spelled bestiality wrong. why is sex with a beast the best iality? so strange

I could spend hours on a religious debate on here – and in fact I have with people I know – and still not convince people to change their mind about the existance of god with reasoned debate. The whole idea of god goes logic in the same way that faeries at the bottom of the garden does, but people still cling on to that belief no matter how absurd they sound. As a great man once said, when arguing against someone who refuses to listen to logic, ridicule is the only response. I am paraphrasing, but I really think Kev hit that nail right on the head in this SMod; one of my favorites so far by the way.

Now to my main point; Kirk is actually quoting direct from the bible, and while there is some room for interpretation, an awful lot of stuff in there is pretty fucked up. The story of the dude who sent his daughter out to get gang raped so his guest would be safe from the mob outside is just one example. If people who claim to believe in god feel like they can ignore sections of the bible because it doesn’t fit in with todays moral compass, why believe anything from it? If god was real and the bible is true – any of it – why would you dare to say that you won’t follow certain parts of the scripture to the letter? Surley god has proven he is mighty in his wrath, if you believe he exists, so why risk angering him?

ALternatively, just give the whole thing up for what it is; a bronze age text written by several people who all wanted a method to control the population using the fear of an all powerful creator. It is a made up story, and if you decide to live your life following its tennents, you are no better than scientologists, following the writings of a substandard sience fiction author as the word of god.

“As a great man once said, when arguing against someone who refuses to listen to logic, ridicule is the only response.”

This quote should end, “if you are a complete asshole”. I find nothing great about a man who is so insecure in himself, that he feels it necessary to belittle and ridicule the beliefs of others. I suppose nothing gives you a bigger ego boost than making fun of the beliefs of 95% of the planet.

You’re so smart!

Religion is BS, anyway. Well . . . 95% BS.

At what point do you believe that 95% of the world follow a monotheistic deity? And yes, if you choose to believe in something that condones the stoning to death of people who don’t have the same imaginary friend as you based on stories in a book written hundreds of years ago and refuse to challenge those beliefs with the mountains of evidence against them, I have no problem what-so-ever ridiculing you.

Just as I have no problem doing the same to people who tell me that trolls live under bridges. Just because you can’t prove a negative does not make it true.

As for belittling the beliefs of others, if you read the post, it says only when they won’t listen to reason. Do you think listening to reason is something people do who believe the world is only a few thousand year old? That it has been around roughly as long as the domesticated dog, or the invention of glue? Ignoring arctic ice coring samples that show at least 12 ice ages that have happened on earth each being thousands of years apart strikes me as ignoring reason.

95%? Which planet do you live on?

Have you heard of India? How about Muslims? Surely, you’ve heard of Muslims.

Islam is monotheistic too. Christians, Jews, and Muslims all worship the same deity, even though I still say Christianity calling itself a monotheism by virtue of some horseshit loophole called The Holy Trinity is a joke. It’s not ninety five percent by any means, but the vast majority of the religious world at least claims to be monotheistic, yes.

“At what point do you believe that 95% of the world follow a monotheistic deity?”

I’m talking about any belief in God, not just Christianity or any monotheistic religion for that matter. If you’re criticizing one man’s god, I’m assuming you’re criticizing them all.

“I have no problem what-so-ever ridiculing you.”

And this makes you an asshole. I’m not saying that it’s wrong to be an asshole. I’m not saying that you shouldn’t be an asshole. I’m also not saying that being an asshole makes your opinions on religion wrong. I am just informing you that your way of thinking is indicative of being one.

Yep, criticizing them all. I also don’t believe Thor, Zeus or Bast. Or ghosts or psychics for that matter. Until I am presented with evidence to the contrary that is, I would be amazed if anyone who worshipped any god/gods/djinns would be willing to do the same.

Say that I am an asshole if you like, I have no idea how you are and vice versa, so it doeasn’t bother me one little bit, but who was it who resorted to name calling instead of entering into a debate?

“Regardless of what you choose youâ€™re told youâ€™re going to hell. ”

You miss the point entirely.

At least Smith does know something about religion but you other people are kind of hopeless.

Violating a commandment doent mean that you are going to hell since everyone but Jesus has violated them.

Cameron’s post is being addressed to people who think that they are pretty much adhering to what they remember the commandments to be and therefor they are ‘good enough’. Thats why things like the hating is being stressed as part of the prohibition against killing. Its senseless to think that God is ok with you pummeling people as long as they dont die.

Okay, you have a point. I probably throw around the word “asshole” too liberally, but honestly, that’s simply what comes to my mind when I’m introduced to someone who derives pleasure from belittling the beliefs of others. I suppose I just sense a bit of arrogance in the attitude that, “I’m smarter than 95% of the planet, and have no problem telling them so and making fun of their perspective on life.”

“Until I am presented with evidence to the contrary that is, I would be amazed if anyone who worshipped any god/gods/djinns would be willing to do the same.”

As for this, well I don’t think it’s a fair statement. You can’t have prove for something’s nonexistence. It’s impossible. How can you prove a negative?
January 8, 2009

Shorty

‘How can you prove a negative?’

Sadly you can’t. In the same way you can’t prove that Bertrand Russell’s celestial teapot, the Flying Spaghetti Monster or Odin don’t exist. However their is plenty of evidence that whole sections of the bible are fictional; the easiest being the age of the earth, yet people still choose to believe this and insist that is taught in schools as ‘real’ science. All this does is excuse ignorance of the real world and create children who will blindly follow holy scripture because they are told it is the word of God and irrefutable.

If you think the world should be run along those lines, take a look at the Gaza strip in the news today. Although I’m sure some people will find any reason to fight and kill, some people seem to be able to get away with it on a national scale because their imaginary friend said it was OK. If they weren’t following a massive religion with millions of members, many of whome were indoctrinated at youth, do you think entire countries would side with them? I apologize for my arrogance, it is for the most part misplaced anger at organised religions that teach children to ignore scientific reasoning and blindly follow words written in a book hundreds of years ago. And I mean any religious text that can be twisted to condone violence against those who disagree with it. Especially because (at least) the bible teaches that just me saying these things is reason enough for me to be stoned to death by any of my friends who believe it. (I say at least, I know more about the bible that any other holy texts and wouldn’t claim to any knowledge I don’t possess.)

if you two stoners are gonna discuss and debate theology, then you really need to do your research.

Very bored by this episode. Kevin I love you and Scott, but stop with the pot. You two aren’t nearly as funny when your stoned. Maybe you just had an off week. I hope that’s all that it was cause it just wasn’t funny.
January 9, 2009

Grace

When did we decide Scott was a stoner? I don’t think he smokes at all. I think you people are actually having a problem with the pot itself and not the fact that they “aren’t funny” (because they sure as hell are). I’m betting that if Kevin wasn’t honest with us about it you wouldn’t have been able to tell the difference. Get off your high horse. Sit down for an hour and TRY and be as funny as these two…I’m 100% sure you’d come out with 60 minutes of fail.

Please do not fall into the mindset that everyone who attempts to follow Jesus with their lives is like Kirk Cameron and shares his view of trying to manipulate and/or trick people into being a follower of Christ (my opinion). I am a Christian and I find methods like this to be so contrary to the heart and message of Jesus.

The last thing that Jesus did was to seek out people he had no relationship with and to try and convince them of certain things, in fact his interaction was FAR different. Jesus most commonly talked to religious people about their shortcomings and hard-hearts, not condemning those who don’t believe. “Evangelism,” especially to those that we have almost no relationship with, is a modern invention and something Jesus would have been absolutely foreign to, and in my opinion against the very idea.

Jesus says that healthy people don’t need a doctor, sick people do. I’ve come to call sinners, not those who think they are already good enough. My view is I’m tired of trying to convince people they are sinners, that’s God’s work. My goal is to live out the call of the resurrected Jesus Christ is the most profound and real ways in my community. Hopefully God will use that work and change people’s hearts for His glory. It’s not my job to convince anyone of anything.

When did they actually get high in this episode, I don’t remember hearing it at all. Besides, I never had a problem with their stoner ep’s.

Keep talking guys, and we’ll keep listening!

14:35 is my favorite part of this episode! Mosier’s befuddled “God?” in response to the claim that it’s used as a four letter word.

also, i truly never would have predicted someday saying this to someone, but you guys’ hitlers are my favorite hitlers of all.

This episode came to kick ass and chew bubble gum (and guess what, motherfuckers….’s all outta bubble gum).

@ nate and david
fuck you guys, if you would have actually listened to what kevin has said,you would know that he has been high on every smod since 57-terrorist pizza. i bet you ass holes like some between 57-71 so you guys are hypocrites. again,fuck you
