God is Bullshit

Gotta love those fundamentalists. Putting the fun and the mental back into religion…

“Deveny’s shock and awe humor does for atheism what Mark Arbib does for espionage. And she’s still my favorite tweep.”Tony Jones – host of ABC’s Q and A

God Is Bullshit sold out at the 2010 Melbourne International Comedy Festival and returned for another gangbuster season in 2011. The perfect show for favorite frothing at the mouth atheists, hard core bible basher, lapsed Catholic, curious truth seeker or people who like jokes and swearing. “Who was Jesus? So a long time ago there was this woman called Mary and she was a virgin. Hang on I’ll answer questions at the end. And an angel appeared before her and told her that she was going to have a baby. Shhhh boys, let me finish. So Mary gave birth to Jesus who was the Son of God sent to earth to die for our sins. Hey, cut it out guys this is serious. When Jesus grew up he performed miracles, walked on water, bought people back from the dead fed a crowd of thousands with a few loaves of bread and couple of fish, turned water into wine and then he was nailed to a cross and he died. But he came back to life three days later. Actually hang on guys. This sounds like a croc of shit.’’

I wish she was my mother. Seeing God Is Bullshit was the best $20 I ever spent.Adam Elliot- Academy Award winning creator of Harvey Crumpet and Mary and Max “Catherine Deveny, like Julian Assange, exposes, confronts, maddens.
