I vowed long ago not to turn my site into a link-fest.
I started it as a medium for narcissistic self-aggrandizement, and I'm hell-bent on keeping it that way, dammit! (Excuse me while I preen for a moment for standing my ground...)
That said, I've occasionally stated (tongue in cheek) that hypocrisy is a trait best learned at home, so I wanted to share the following site with anyone who happens to be reading this post. I have to warn you though, if you cannot say the words "religion" and "irreverence" in the same sentence without feeling the need to stare guiltily and apologetically at the brass crucifix you have hanging nearest to you, then you might not want to check this out. Even if those two words are in the same sentence, separated by a semi-colon - which is really just two sentences joined together into one to show you know the proper use of a semi-colon - you probably shouldn't. Seriously, it might offend you.
Otherwise, go for it.
I'm not an atheist, but neither am I particularly theistic by any traditional definition. The more I look at this site, the more I think I want to grow up to be an LOLTheist. It's teh unholy marriage of the LOL Cats phenomenon with religious (typically Christian) art. If that description didn't make any sense to you, neither will the site.
My favourite three examples of the pictures I've seen are posted below. They made me LOL.
Man, you can't make this stuff up. Thankfully, I like both cats and Christianity, so this is...curious, without killing me. :)

I've never seen nor heard of LOL Cats, but these were funny, as were some of those on the linked page.
I admit I am out of it just enough to know that "teh" is a jumbled version of "the," and that it probably started on IRC chat, but I have no idea why it's funny or cool to use the word "teh" instead of "the."

Oh, man - did you see the GO PACKERS Cheesehead Jesus (Jesi? Dude, I never had to think about the plural of Jesus before! Wot?) that just got posted. Hil-AR-irous.
Well, if we all go to to hell together, we're sure gonna have a good time :)
Amy, I may be wrong (it's happened once before ;) ) but I took RTFM to mean "Read the effing memo". (Loved the sassy-attitude Jesus on, Si - but then, wouldn't I just?).

The "RTFM" one is supposed to be "read the f--king manual". A lecturer I had recently at a training course put those four letters up as part of his presentation and got a few laughs out of it. Put that together with Moses and the ten commandments, and it's comedy gold!
