Fwd: Hail Mary
Years ago I was a member of a church group that passed a framed picture of the Virgin Mary from house to house.
According to the legend surrounding the picture, this same picture had been passed from house to house since 1938,
keep the picture for a period of two weeks and then pass it on. To add to the mystery of the picture it was passed on by only one person. You gave it to that person and requested it be passed on. The idea being to protect the people receiving the picture.
Hail, Mary! Full of Grace!! The Lord is with Thee: Blessed art Thou among women, and Blessed is the Fruit of Thy womb, Jesus! Holy Mary, Mother of God: Pray for us sinners, now, and at the hour of our death. Amen.
I’M MOVING HER TO YOUR HOUSE
A little bit more of "No God" Day
Twitter Censorship Video
Here is an actual video of the Twitter Censorship which was also explained last night at Religionlulz,
"No God" Day Round-Up
As you all know I did my fair share of posting, but here are some links to some of the blogs I follow that also had a little something to say about the “No God” trending topic on Twitter. I recommend you subscribe to these blogs and read them every day.

There were also some blogs that specifically mentioned AaRB, and I’d like to give them a mention and a little thank you.
Khoresht-e Catfish: God Problems
Stupid Evil Bastard: Feel the True Believer Love
Jugular: Saramago eo abuso ateu (which is all in Portuguese, and I love the fact that my blog link, or what the blogger called my blog at least, translates to “the chaos of believers”)
NEW The Mad Skeptic: Twitter’s No God Fail Whale Fail
Yesterday was the biggest day ever for the blog, even bigger than #creozerg. I had 3,861 hits yesterday, and already this morning I’ve had 1,234. To put that in perspective, on #creozerg I had 988 hits, and on an average day I get anywhere from 70 to 100 hits. It was quite a surge and it’s making my Google Analytics chart look like a heart monitor.
I’d also like to thank all the people who retweeted my blog posts on Twitter (I’ve received over 1600 hits from Twitter). There were also a lot of Facebook postings, most of which I cannot see because they were posted on profile pages of users I do not know. Someone also submitted one of the blog posts to Reddit which provided over 500 hits, and a special thank you to whomever posted a link at Pharyngula.
Thank you everyone!
Yesterday was so much fun…
But what do you really think about us?
Thanks to @MsKitton for this submission.
Twitter gives in to censorship
Around 7:15pm (eastern US) the “no god” trending topic went from being the #1 trend to disappearing altogether. Funny that, most trending topics slowly dwindle down into nonexistence.
About a half hour later the trend “Know God” appeared, which hadn’t been there at all today that I know of. But look closely at what happens when you hover over the “Know God” trend.
Interesting. Twitter gave in to be less controversial (or maybe to deal with its Capacity Whale issues). Either way it’s a big FAIL. As some of my twitter friends have suggested, perhaps we should make #fuckcensorship a new trend.
Now let’s have a little comic relief.
