What To Strive For

Last week, this quote was posted on OverheardinNewYork.com. I think this level of historical confusion is exactly what we should strive for:
“Who Told You about God?
Mom: So, what kind of animals do you think we will see at the zoo?
Small boy: I think elephants and snakes… Mom? Are there also pretend things there, like dinosaurs and God?
Mom: I think we need to have a talk when we get home.

Atheists Less Trusted Than Crazy People

According to this recent Gallop Poll, more people would vote for a Mormon for president than would vote for an atheist. To say nothing about the absurdity of the Mormon religion, I wish this finding were surprising. And I wish that it mattered. I cannot see a time in the near future that we will have any politician, at least in the national arena, openly admitting to not believing in God.
Darwinists Are The Real Terrorists… Apparently

French schools and universities have begun receiving copies of a Turkish propaganda book entitled “The Atlas Of Creation” which quotes from the Koran and states that humans did not evolve but rather that they were created.
It also states that theories of Charles Darwin are “the true source of terrorism”.
Like To Blaspheme? Go Directly To Jail!

Here’s an interesting case of state enforced religion, taken directly from the Massachusetts government website.
Section 36. Whoever wilfully blasphemes the holy name of God by denying, cursing or contumeliously reproaching God, his creation, government or final judging of the world, or by cursing or contumeliously reproaching Jesus Christ or the Holy Ghost, or by cursing or contumeliously reproaching or exposing to contempt and ridicule, the holy word of God contained in the holy scriptures shall be punished by imprisonment in jail for not more than one year or by a fine of not more than three hundred dollars, and may also be bound to good behavior.
I don’t think there is much that I can say about this aside from the obvious fact this draconian law is completely ridiculous! Thankfully I haven’t heard any cases of this actually being enforced, so I think it’s time for this law to be removed from the books. I love Penn Jillette’s idea about having a 12 month expiry on all laws so that only the important laws would continually be renewed while the useless ones would be forgotten.

According to this report by wftv.com, because of a flawed legal policy, a 21-year-old woman was held for two days in jail after reporting being raped. To top it off, the woman was denied the morning after pill to prevent pregnancy because a “jail worker later refused to give her a second dose [of the morning after pill]…because of religious convictions.” Read more

Once again, the fires of the “culture war” between religious watchdogs and “Hollywood” (aka “movies”) are being fanned simply for the sake of getting pissed off. As Playfuls.com reports, The Catholic League has requested an investigation into whether or not the independent film “Houndog,” which recently premiered at the Sundance film festival, has broken any child pornography laws.

Germany Says No To Scientology

The scientologists are trying to set up shop in Germany but have come under very heavy criticism by the German government and its citizens. They have stated that the organization is merely hiding under the guise of a religion in order to exploit money from people by brainwashing them.
Finally a country that gets it! If only the US would wake up to the scheming nature of scientology and remove their tax exempt status. It was founded by a bad science fiction writer who has stated that the best way to make money is to start a religion for fucks sake!
At least it’s one more nail in the coffin.

What Are Those Crazy Scientologists Up To Now?

The “Industry of Death” exhibit is sponsored by the Church of Scientology and makes a host of outrageous claims about the field of psychiatry. Twenty-five percent of psychiatrists sexually abuse their patients. Psychiatrists deliberately kill about 10,000 people a year - sounds about right. And for the big surprise, psychiatrists were responsible for the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks - guilty by association, at least, since psychiatrists are responsible for the existence of terrorists and suicide bombers.
And this is being held in the Columbia Capitol Rotunda.. Who authorized that? Damn those scientologists have a knack for persuading people into doing really crazy stuff.
On an interesting and disturbing side note, the word “Scientology” is in my spell checker. I didn’t realize we could make up words and have them added to the dictionary! How come “Skepathetarian” isn’t in there?

If you were following the case of the Iranian girl sentenced to death for killing her rapist then you will be pleased to here that she has been spared the death penalty after a panel of judges decided that she had not committed intentional murder. What remains to be seen now is what her new punishment will be, unfortunately I cannot see her getting off too lightly. Read more
