  • Hell: imaginary warm spot, currently suffering from potential overcrowding problem; much favoured threat of the confused thinker…

  • Preist entry cracked me up.

  • i think this will evolve into something special 🙂 some of the entries already are pure gold

  • I see a little book along the lines of ‘The meaning of Liff’… 🙂

  • love your work you should be sainted

  • “God – Stealthy impregnator of virgins”. I can’t stop laughing. Keep up the good work.

  • Church: That place we all hate, but go anyway out of fear.

  • Hilarious! Great job. This should definitely be published as a book when it has enough entries. Keep up the good work!

  • Pray: Ask that the laws of the universe be temporarily annulled on behalf of single petitioner. Confessedly unworthy.

    Anyone remember who came up with this one? I can’t remember, but definitely worth adding.

    Great work GSpellchecker!

    • Hi. It was Ambrose Bierce in The Devil’s Dictionary, although he doesn’t say ‘temporarily’.

      I’ve been meaning to re-read this for a while, so thank you for motivating me to get it down from the shelf!

      Godless Spellchecker – I just found you site; very much like what I’ve seen so far.

  • Christmas: The definite birthdate of white baby Jesus. Celebrated at the time by not one but three kings who danced around the tree while singing carols and kissed under the mistletoe. Jesus later enjoyed eternal life as Santa giving Christians sole rights on gift giving at this time of year.

  • Snake – “Chatty garden dweller” hahaha… quality!

  • The bit about Mohammed and images makes you look silly as it is only a small minority kf Muslims who believe that, Shia have pictures of him on their korans for instance. Also the quip about “religion of peace” implies that it is not, that it is a religion of war. They all are, onward christian solidiers etc etc. it shows rather an incipd Islamaphobia instead of atheist piss take. Good work though, made me smile.

    • Thank you for your comment. I shall address a few points.

      “The bit about Mohammed and images makes you look silly as it is only a small minority kf Muslims who believe that”

      Can you put a percentage, or numerical value on the “small minority” who believe this, then perhaps explain why those numbers are not a cause for concern?


      “Shia have pictures of him on their korans for instance”

      And I imagine this causes no conflict between Muslims at all?


      “Also the quip about “religion of peace” implies that it is not, that it is a religion of war.”

      No religion is a “religion of peace” and I object to Islamic propagandist use of the term. The unique and reactionary nature of Islam and its ability to cause almost global unrest due to the issues detailed is a perfect subject for satire in this manner.

      “it shows rather an incipd Islamaphobia instead of atheist piss take.”

      And here we have it. The obligatory mention of “islamophobia” simply for criticising/mocking Islam in accordance with related events/documented facts.

      I see no objection was made to my mockery of Jesus, or certain aspects of Christianity, yet Islam is afforded special privilege analogous to racism and homophobia. This is disingenuous and poorly argued in your comment.

      GS

  • Church: when on fire can provide illumination

  • Foxholes: no atheists in ’em

  • LOL. Hilarious. The priest and the snake made me laugh the most, but the simple ones like God -American, proper crack me up. Good work

  • Wales – a country where a third of the population have declared in a public document (2011 census) that they have no religion http://bbc.in/VAm9iJ

  • Church

    Fairy tale reaffirmation centre.

  • Fear – Makes us love our god so much more

  • Christmas: A 100% Christian festival devoid of any pagan influence.

    The Universe: The work of the almighty created specifically for humanity.

    Science: The blind belief in things told to you by others brought on by lack of knowledge of the truth; see Bible.

  • Alejandro Estrada

    Outstanding work. A few suggestions:

    LOL- Expression that, when put at the end of a sentence, strengthens its logic and renders non-believers speechless.

    Proof – condition acquired by any argument when repeated.

    Truth – Anything stated in upper-case letters.

    Priest – Person that can take care of your soul, not your kids.

    Persecution – When your insults are questioned.

  • Church: A place where everyone goes on Sunday to nervously check that every one else is still believing the same stuff.

  • Westboro – A place that never received it’s copy of The New Testament.

  • God: believed by the misguided to be the indispensable component of Good.

  • I’ve consumed a lot of Jesus juice this holiday season.

  • Brilliant. Just brilliant.

    Good work! I look forward to more definitions!!

  • “Dawkins- High priest of Atheism, Satan’s Earthly Lieutenant” made me soil my shirt with nostril propelled Mountain Dew. Well worth it.

  • Great work !
    Here is a small contribution:

    Church : The place you have to go to in order to speak to your omnipresent all-knowing deity

  • Sunday: Shhh, God is napping.

  • I’m surprised that “Scientific Theory: A guess that has no facts behind it,and is probably false ie Evolution” isn’t in this dictionary

  • God: Unable to stop suffering at the hands of evil men (free will and all), yet regularly compells the atheist next door to help carry in my groceries.

  • jesus juice was hilarious. funny thing is religious people who i talk to would take this seriously

  • Communion: Sanctioned cannibalism

  • “Shrill” – calm and confidently asserted view based on logic and evidence that contradicts some religious assumption that is based on neither.

  • “Hate-prayer” & “Hate-bless”: when a believer is losing an argument or simply refuses to continue a conversation, and instead tells you angrily that they will pray for you and/or god will bless you and they hope to avert your inevitable trip to hell.

  • Under God, in addition to a American it should also say White, & Male.

  • That was pretty unfunny. Also “Stories authored by semi-literate desert dwellers in ancient parts of the middle-east” sounds a bit awkward. “Ancient parts”?

  • Hahaha just spat my Jesus juice everywhere reading this

  • Lool the priest one.. low blow.

  • Something about the irrefutable logic of a CAPS LOCK argument..? And under Miracle, add “or regression to the mean”.

  • Fear. The gel that holds Godites together
    Prayer. Cure for ailments (at an affordable price)
    Miracle. Jesus on toast
    Muhammad. Muslimist generalissimo

  • I’m planning a tee shirt with the “Faith” definition! Good stuff. I shared with my actual church group “Agnostics Anonymous”!

  • I want a T shirt with “Thank God for Atheism’

  • This was really funny!!
    Your sense of humor is too good
