Muslim Morality?

OK; check out what has the collective Muslim knickers in a twist.  It's OK that life is for real, but the Gods forbid someone talk about it.

Buffy the Vampire Slayer: Does This Finally Mark a Trend?

A recent article suggests that shows like Buffy The Vampire may be helping to drive women, in droves to pagan religions because of their liberating, feminine-nature. Check out the article:

Certainly this comes as no surprise to most reasonable people. The fact is simply this, Christianity is becoming irrelevant! And it's becoming more so with time. It's the world's new religion, being only a couple thousand years old. It's the new-kid on the block -- a bully really -- with too many rules, and too many regulations, mostly about things that are a natural part of man's own divinity.

Any religion that comes on board claiming that all those religions before it are wrong should be looked upon with great suspicion.

As far as Buffy is concerned: you go girl!

Common Sense Warns Of Christians Causing Trouble Over Our Holidays

The following excerpt from the article "Church warns pagan holiday spells trouble" pretty much says it all, 'But Rev Graham Swanson, of Elgin Baptist Church, said: "I have grave concerns and reservations about this event taking place. As a Christian I believe the Bible warns us about dabbling in such things as witchcraft."'

We would do well to learn a lesson from this article, as well as the backward-ass, teachings of the Christian orthodoxy, and let common sense come through in the counter argument, "That as sane, thinking humans graced by the Gods, they've honored us with the gift of common sense, warning us about the dangers of dabbling in Christianity..."

Mayor Jim Schmitt of Green Bay Succumbs to His Own Religious Bigotry

That's a nice way of saying, "We have our nativity scene in place now, so the rest of you can go away." It's not a quote, but it might as well be.

This may be old news, back at about mid-December, but I can guarantee you it's not over. Is it just a simple case of religious bigotry? Is it the even more common problem of the good folk of Green Bay voting truly incompetent people into positions of power? Or does it go even deeper than that?

Does the mayor's dedication to the proponents of Green Bay's government-sponsored nativity scene smack of something a little more, ... sinister? Probably not; right? Of course, why would a man in high, public office risk position and reputation by perpetrating a clearly unconstitutional show of crossing the line separating church and state? Could it be, ... for services rendered? Spiritual, of course.

As one would just about have to be cloistered not to have heard all the charges made against the Green Bay diocese -- charges of rampant sexual abuse perpetrated by its holier-than-thou priests. Oh; excuse me; I should say "allegations" of rampant sexual abuse -- at least until the guilty verdict is read.

A truly righteous man would declare a moratorium against sexually abusing children, not holding the alleged perpetrators up in praise by not only displaying their nativity scene above all others, but by denying the spiritually righteous their comparatively minimal displays. I challenge you to find one article about a Buddhist monk being charged with molestation. I challenge you to produce one expose about the Wiccan priest or priestess who either sexually offended or molested a student.

Finally, the real insult ladled onto injury is that this is not even a Christian holiday! I'll give you this, that the day Christians might choose to call Christmas is indeed a celebration of their Christ's birth, but biblical scholars agree, without argument, that his birthday would not be December 25'th! Rather he be born well into the new year, or in November, or in May. That this cooption of the pagan, religious celebration of the birth of the sun god is done at the expense of cheating the pagan-faithful out of their own, true holiday.

Now we know that the Christian's fear of losing power drove them to deny their own savior his real birthday -- there can be no argument there. But what's the mayor's excuse?

No Religion In Public Office. Period!

NPR : Iowa's Christian Conservatives Seeking Candidate

http://www.npr.org/templates/story/st...

"All Things Considered, December 3, 2007 · Christian Conservatives are a key voting block for the GOP, but many of the Republican candidates have personal profiles or past policy positions that raise red flags for the religious right."

It's stories like these that scare me.

I am not saying that a person running for office shouldn't be religious. What I am saying is that a person running for office must completely and purposefully distance himself or herself from religion. And with no room for discussion!

I have been a lifelong Republican, but I believe now is the time to change. Like the last election, when Democrats were saying, "Anyone But Bush!", I will adopt an "Anyone But A Republican" attitude if they don't drop this religious dribble. It is an indisputable truth that the world -- and especially America -- would be a better place without Christianity or Islam, at all, let alone within the political arena.

I say, "NO!" "This can't be allowed!" "Vote against religion in office!"

Woman & Man Raped; Judge Punishes Victims

A 19-year-old woman was travelling in a car with a male friend last year, when the car was attacked by a gang of seven men who raped both of them. And this would be bad enough if it were the end of the story. But NO!

In a move I can only compare to the kind of insanity that comes from the offspring of inter-species sex -- that or a medieval, fundamentalist, wacko religion-based, [il]legal system -- the judge sentenced the victims to 90 lashes! And then in a second fit of madness, the judge increased the woman's sentence to 200 and 6 months jail time!

So that's it; yes? No! Then he revokes their lawyer's license to practice.

The reason, you ask? "Illegal Mingling." That's right, let me say it again: illegal mingling -- or in this case, traveling in an automobile with a man (or woman) to whom you're not married. And that sentence is handed down by a supposed judge! Where was the "mingling police" when judgy-wudgy was behind the barn with a couple of goats?

And with a sentence like that, for that reason, delivered against 2 people who were just brutally gang-raped, don't even suggest I've gone too far. This type of Islamic law, this type of tyrannical Islam is as perverted as perversion can get. This type of perversion should be stamped out. If it is against this kind of utter perversion that our war-dollars are being spent, then you can count me for more.

In God We Trust?

Living in Indiana, I see this everywhere these days. A while back -- not really certain how long ago really -- but the state sanctioned at dark blue license plate with the large white words, "In God We Trust" written on them. And though I am not 100% certain of this next statement, I do believe we -- the tax payers -- fund a large percentage of these plates because they can be purchased as the least expensive of all the vanity plates.

I really do not like these plates! Besides for all the other reasons a partially persecuted pagan would dislike the idea of these plates, they really highlight the incredible stupidity of many of the vehicle operators who choose to display them. Really? ... you ask. Well, here's an example.

This morning I was traveling on a major highway, on my way to work, when a 40-something woman cuts me off, pulling wildly out of her stopped line of traffic only to swerve out of control into mine, causing me to have to make the decision to either take her life by driving over top of her vehicle, or to swerve myself, hopefully not cutting someone else off in the process. When order returned to the situation, everyone was miraculously safe. So, you might ask, how was I greeted by the woman whose life was spared by my expert driving and a lot of luck?

She flipped me the bird! Not only did she flip me the old proverbial bird, but in her rear-view mirror I could read her overly collagen-enhanced lips as they mouthed some of the most vile words. And just as the memory of the situation was beginning cool, I could plainly see her license plate, that tax-payer supported, constitutionally questionable license plate, saying "In God We Trust"

And though not proud of it, I couldn't help but to say to myself, though aloud, "Typical christian!"
