As I Lay Dying’s Tim Lambesis Offers To Get His Ass Tattooed In New Austrian Death Machine Indiegogo Campaign
As I Lay Dying frontman Tim Lambesis has launched this Indiegogo campaign to help fund the release of a third album from Austrian Death Machine titled “Triple Brutal“. A tour from the Arnold Schwarzenegger-inspired metal project is also potentially being eyed with the funds. An amusing trailer from Lambesis outlining the campaign can be found below.
$63,000 dollars is being sought for the project and Lambesis is offering up some rather unique rewards for select backers. Along with workout tips, etc., you can get the chance to punch him in the abs as hard as you can and also have your initials tattooed on his ass.

I bet Jesus is pissed that Tim used the word “ass”.
So pissed, in fact, that Jesus probably took a break from doing absolutely nothing while 15,000 children die per day, so that he could make a note in Tim’s personal Jesus file.
Not a religious man, eh? Well I bet you sure are a girly man! Muahaha.
If tucking your balls behind your legs; wearing your girlfriends underwear and peeking over your shoulder into the mirror is girly; then yes, I am rather feminine.
You do that too? We should start a support group.
I think this Gaza song will support your view.
3. The Truth Weighs Nothing
It sure was nice of Jesus to take time away from ignoring
Ethnic cleansing genocide and famine bloated children.
Or regrowing limbs for landmine victims
To help you score that touchdown
To help you find your keys
To help you land that promotion.
Is it that he can’t? Or is that he won’t?
Wake up. Wake the fuck up.
The truth weighs nothing. Travel light. Be unburdened.
(The Touchdown line was playfully about Tim Tebow)
Sounds like a great (and honest) song!
Ironically, I am probably the only militant Atheist that doesn’t hate Tim Tebow.
I fucking love Gaza, great lyrics.
I’d love to hear the arguments FOR god (in particular, Jesus) from these mysterious people giving thumbs down.
It would be interesting to see if I could ONCE debate a “believer” that didn’t resort to circular and ‘god-of-the-gaps’ arguments.
And tell me just exactly what you are doing abou the 15,000 children dying each day. Don’t you think God ever wonders why we don’t do anything about it when we’re fully capable of solving many of the world’s problems?
I wish I could say I’d never heard that argument before. Sure, humans could DO way more in many different aspects of life. This doesn’t change the fact that God either chooses to allow suffering, is unable to do anything about suffering or simple DOES NOT exist.
Your conclusions make sense and I would say that God exists and can do something to prevent suffering but chooses to allow suffering for the sake of free will. Sure, He could technically force us to share our food and other resources with those in need, but then there would be no such thing as free will now, would there?
Ah yes, the classic “free will” argument. My suggestion, check out Sam Harris’ “Free Will” for some great rebuttals. Also check out “The Moral Landscape” by Harris in which he gives a great scientific basis for the evolution of, and the necessity of morality as it relates to natural selection and survival.
In my opinion, the free will argument is just one of many “cop-out” arguments from the religious. If you have to live a certain way in order to earn eternity with , do you really have free will? By definition, NO, you certainly don’t.

“Losing a belief in free will has not made me a fatalist – in fact, it has increased my feelings of freedom. My hopes, fears, and neuroses seem less personal and indelible. There is no telling how much I might change in the future. Just as one wouldn’t draw a lasting conclusion about oneself on the basis of a brief experience of indigestion, one needn’t do so on a basis of how one has thought or behaved for vast stretches of time in the past. A creative change of inputs to the system – learning new skills, forming new relationships, adopting new habits of attention – may radically transform one’s life. Becoming sensitive to the background causes of one’s thoughts and feelings can -paradoxically- allow for greater creative control over one’s life. This understanding reveals you to be a biochemical puppet, of course, but it also allows you to grab hold of one of your strings.”

Wish I could say I’ve never heard THIS argument before…
The provision of free will does not imply a lack of consequence for your actions. We have complete freedom to carry out or live against God’s will. We also have been given the choice to believe in a God who can forgive us of our sins or to reject that God and accept the punishment that naturally comes as a consequence for our sins. Please tell me again, how we don’t have a say in the matter.
Not sure how you feel about analogies, but it’s like saying “I know that I’m sick and that I could possibly die from my ailment. I also know that there’s someone who can help me out. But…I think I’ll take my chances.”
It’s our own pride and stupidity that is to blame when it comes to where our souls will end up…
Yet still, you have no *tangible* evidence for your god. We could go point for point all day long; the fact is, the burden of PROOF is in the hands of the believer. Thus, why I stand so firmly on logic, reason, and science and not primitive books that were compiled before a SINGLE scientific breakthrough had been made.
And what “tangible” evidence do you have for the nonexistence of God? You’re correct that we can go point for point all day long. Fact of the matter is that Christians and atheists alike function on some degree of faith, whether in God or in science. I completely get where you’re coming from, but just don’t happen to agree.
The only point I was originally trying to make is that it’s a bit ignorant to blame all suffering on God. Especially in regards to world hunger since there is more than enough food to go around and the root of the problem is the selfishness of those who have more than they need, but choose to turn a blind eye to those in need.
WRONG! My belief is SCIENCE and the FACT of evolution is based on peer reviewed scientific evidence and facts; YOUR belief in god is based SOLELY off of faith. That argument, my friend, is null and void. To say that science is “faith based” is fucking ridiculous.
It’s a bit ignorant to blame the suffering on god? You mean the all powerful one that has the power to end it? Give me a break.
You are clearly a product of your indoctrination, Chris. If you want to test your “faith,” check out Sam Harris, Richard Dawkins and primarily, Christopher Hitchens.
“Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence”. – Carl Sagan
I lived the first eighteen years as a blindly faithful believer. I couldn’t be happier now that I am free from the religious poison. Do me a favor, Chris – go to youtube and search “science saved my soul” by Philhellenes; this video (in it’s 15 minutes of goosebump inducing glory) explains, in a nut shell, where my beliefs stand now (if you actually gives a shit and/or care to give your faith a bit of a test). Furthermore, check out the video entitled “hubble deep space, the most important image ever taken,” not because it will convince you of anything, but because it will simply blow your mind!
This was the conversation that kills the mood at every college party on message board form
Clearly you are a product of the common indoctrination so many atheists hold that Christians cannot think for themselves and challenge their faith. I won’t dispute that faith plays a huge role in my beliefs, but so do experiences I’ve had and also the historical evidence I’ve found that points towards Jesus. My feelings are that if much of what is said about Jesus can be historically proven to be accurate, then why shouldn’t I also have faith that what the Bible holds to be true about God is also accurate?
I’m not going to respond to your rebuttal about God being responsible for ending suffering since I feel I’ve already done enough to address that in earlier posts.
When it comes down to it, I feel completely assured in my faith, so I don’t feel like I need to go out and search for things to change my beliefs. To me, that’s simply backwards motion and isn’t progressive at all. If you feel completely assured in your lack of faith (which I believe you do), then I don’t expect you to search for things to change your beliefs either. What it comes down to is that we both hold our own beliefs and the likelihood of either of us convincing the other is very slim. I respect the fact that you were at least able to have a somewhat civil discussion with me since it seems that is no longer possible on message boards.
I wish nothing but the best for you and hope that you have an excellent weekend, good sir. Take care & peace out.
Likewise, Chris.
There was a time where I would’ve read those reward levels and thought them satire. Not so much anymore.
If I get 50 thumbs up for this post I will change my name to “Wurst has no penis”, permanently.
