It’s a 40-year-old Sci-fi, Fantasy, and Horror magazine that my wife and I own. Please buy an issue at a B&N near you or on-line at Amazon.
The decline in American pride, patriotism, and piety can be directly attributed to the extensive reading of so-called ’science fiction’ by our young people. This poisonous rot about creatures not of God’s making, societies of ‘aliens’ without a good Christian among them, and raw sex between unhuman beings with three heads and God alone knows what sort of reproductive apparatus keeps our young people from realizing the true will of God.” – Jerry Falwell, “Can Our Young People Find God in the Pages of Trashy Magazines? No, Of Course Not!”, Reader’s Digest, Aug. 1985:142-157
Never understood the difference between “raw” sex and the regular kind. If Falwell’s fat sorry ass wasn’t dead I’d ask him.
Can I whore mine here, instead?
FOR SALE: Custom Phreedm Voodoo Doll. Poke him in the head, and watch him run to the NoGodBlog to say asinine things.
Comes with an adorable little red, white and blue doo-rag, a “These Colors Don’t Run” T-Shirt, and a tiny bottle of Jingo-Juice. And of course, a tiny Bible with cherry picked verses in hi-liter.
Act now and I’ll throw in a miniature ripped up copy of the Constitution, and a home made batch of Phreedm Phries!!!
ONE OF A KIND ITEM!!!
Will accept cash or old Twinkie rappers with Twinkie the Kid on them.
Awesome
Sci-fi is somehow bad, according to Falwell, but the man promoted fiction as his life’s work.
I will check out Space and Time. I have an artist friend that does art for Apex. It is sci-fi horror type of stuff. I dabble with sci-fi writing, but have never finished a single story. I tend to get interested in something else. Sad but true. Good luck with the magazine.
Doubtless, it was Azimov, one of the most (or is it THE most) prolific SF writers of all time, who caused me to be atheist. No, it could not have been the case that I came to atheism by thinking for myself. It could not be due to adopting skepticism in place of blind faith. It could not be my insistence that claims of “truth” be backed up by testable evidence. No, it was definitely because I read some science fiction when I was a kid that I blew the God-idea off for ever.
And should SETI ever find evidence of intelligent life elsewhere in this universe, what will the fundies have to say then, when our science “fiction” proved more prescient than their faith-based “fact”? Oh, I’m sure they’ll pull something out of their apologetical arse to explain it away.
I only hope I’m still alive to watch the show.
In all the science fiction I ever read, I don’t recall
I guess Jerry came up with that out of his own warped psyche.
Do you suppose raw sex is a mark on a scale like rare meat is? “I’ll have my sex raw tonight, please, but make my husband’s well-clothed.”
Sex tartare
Stig-O-Matics anyone?
Jerry “knew” all about sex. Where do you think he came up with the diatribe to spout in the pulpit? This is Truth (note the capital T)
Well, if you’re offering. . .

Well, now, Falwell and his ilk have gone too far!!! It’s one thing to bash us atheists, but to blame the downfall of society on Sci-Fi . . . them’s fightin’ words!!
I’m going to have to check out David’s magazine. I love Science Fiction! I’m almost through re-reading David Gerrold’s Chtorr series. I wish he’d finish the dang series – I’ve been waiting over a decade to find out what happens to Lizard and Jim!
I have nothing to sell – I’m just trying to get a teaching job *sigh* No luck so far.
I’ve been substitute teaching at the elem. school my son attended – where I was Mrs. Mega-Volunteer, PTO president, etc., etc. There were three job positions available and I didn’t get any of them. One was filled by a teacher who transferred from a different classroom, but the other two were filled by women who attend the church where many of the teachers are members . . . coincidence? Kinda makes me mad!
Falwell must know of human beings with three heads otherwise the “unhuman” would be unneeded.
What I find more interesting though is the christian God idea is now having sex with three headed unhuman beings. I can only wonder what the Mary of christian fantasy would think about raw sexual escapades involving her master-father-son. Oh wait, maybe it isn’t so unusually, I mean three heads hardly compares to the freakishness of a master-father-son.
Are there any christians here that can describe the reproductive apparatus of a christian God idea?
Also of interest is the part that insures that the christian God idea alone knows what the unhuman three headed beings reproductive apparatus consists of. Thus, suggesting the unhuman three headed beings only mate or show their reproductive apparatus to the christian God idea. Or was it the reproductive apparatus of the christian God idea that Jerry Falwell was referring to?
OFF TOPIC
I just had to share.
Since phreeky phreedy loves to make claims that the founding fathers were xian, here’s a great quotes page from someone on his side of the argument (not ours).

My favorite:
Gotta love Thomas Jefferson. The man may have been a deist, but he had a way with words.
off topic
i went on a catholic blog and asked if catholics oppose abortion why do so many catholics have abortions.response they deleted my question and banned me from their blog.
i got a laugh out of this hope you all do too.if catholics are that afraid i guess we do have more faith.
Atomic
I used to keep that Jefferson quote and a few Madison quotes as well in my wallet.
Here’s one of my favorite Madison quotes.
Experience witnesseth that ecclesiastical establishments, instead of maintaining the purity and efficacy of religion, have had a contrary operation. During almost fifteen centuries has the legal establishment of Christianity been on trial. What has been its fruits? More or less, in all places, pride and indolence in the clergy; ignorance and servility in the laity; in both, superstition, bigotry and persecution. [James Madison, A Memorial and Remonstrance, addressed to the General Assembly of the Commonwealth of Virginia, 1785]
I know all about their reproductive systems ’cause I watched “Alien Resurrection” last night. I LOVE HORROR!
wanna talk about some freaky alien sex that comes from the Bible…read Genesis 6. The whole Noah & flood incident was motivated by “the gods” and the “giants” having sex with the beautiful women of Earth. Go figure! Of course, as always it was the sin of women (AGAIN) not the fault of the gods…
Head over to the Atheist Huddle message board and contribute to the conversations there. I’ve been trying to advertise on other sites but have only gotten a few offers for link exchange.
BTW – Thanks for the link Dave!!

I’m with Fellwell here. Kids reading that science fictiony stuff is silly. You can’t believe that stuff.
They should be reading the Wholly Babble where they get to learn about the REAL world of talking snakes and donkeys, magic trees, chariots of fire carrying someone to heaven, a big ship carrying two of every kind of animal during a flood that covered the whole earth, a man hanging out in the belly of a whale for 3 days, burning bushes that talk, virgins that get impregnated by a ghost, a man walking on water, healing the sick and raising the dead.
You know…real stuff.
