Regarding Dr. Tillman

I told myself that I was not going to comment on the vicious, hypocritical murder of Dr. Tillman, the late-term abortion doctor in some flat part of the country.

Considering how much gawd-lovers scream about abortion and children, do they not realize that children and reproduction technically are their gawd's curse to women and punishment to both men and women? Of course it is. To be funny, one could say that it was paradise because you could walk around the house naked all day. However, there is nothing to indicate that A&E were copulating prior to acquiring knowledge, prior to which they were as dumb as the moss on a stone. They did not have offspring in the garden. Ah! Maybe they could not because they were not sexually mature. That would be interesting in light of religious figures and children.

One thing that does bother me about religious justice is that a mundane instrument is required at all. There were a number of jerk-offs who said that their gawd would not want this murder victim to live. Obvious IT did because IT had not killed it before then. After all, IT is omniscient and omnipotent, but more importantly, IT is obviously lazy. Maybe IT decided to test IT's cultists with the existence of the murder victim. By committing the murder, the cultists are telling IT that they do not like that test. Well, isn't that convenient. If you tell your teacher that you don't want to take their stupid test, they say No problem. Here's your F. This shit does not jive with love thy neighbor and turn the other cheek, probably because it's inconvenient and isn't compatible with their burning intolerance. I wish they would follow the turn the other cheek line. More children from the insane cultists need to be aborted, as late-term as possible. Gas it right after the live birth.

There have also been a number of cultists who have publicly endorsed this murder. They should be rounded up and executed, young and old, rich and poor, cultists and cult leaders. They are all criminally insane. Now, we will not give them lethal injection, or electrocute them, or decapitate them, or shoot them, or hang them. Let's use their own favorite: burn them alive. All the others kill more quickly than burning but that is not the real reason to use it. We use it for the blood-curdling screams one hears coming from the flames. Real, protracted pain and suffering. They deserve only the best.

Defend your Faith?!!?

I was driving in to work one morning when I saw this little ditty stuck on the back of a SUV. Worse still, it was one of those magnetic ribbons that I see, usually ordering me to support the military. Even more recently, I saw one that ordered me to pray for the troops. Heh. There also is a ribbon ordering me to save the boobies...Major General Mictlantecuhtli reporting, sir!

This message takes the cake and it is not the first time my dessert has been snatched away because, if anything, these cultists are definitely inventive in ways that set to boil my anger and disgust with a side of classic you-poor-bastard head-smacking.

There is no reason to tell people to do this. Does it make a difference? No. The sad part is that they cannot see it. If faith is publicly banished, you, the cultist, still have it. The cultists would not have a label to stick on their group for fear of reprisals but you, the cultist, have faith. That, realistically, is faith - the singular interaction of a couple of neurons in that mass of grey jello in your skull. It is not a group-think. The only thing that the group has is a label for the faith, which has the same depth as calling a mixed group of bovines "cows."

Why? Because, while they definitely are all cows, they are not the same sub-species. This one is brown, this one has eight horns...you see the pattern here. Cultists within a single cult are the same way. They have the same basic tenets but they interpret and express them in different ways. Next time you are in your cult center, look at the zombie-bozo next to you. Do they feel exactly the same way about certain aspects of the tenets of the cult as you do? Are they as vehement about the same things as you? Probably not.

They may lean that direction, but is it the same amount? Maybe they lean the other way. All of those differences make up that person's faith, just as those same opinions make up yours. That is your faith. They are not the same. Maybe the zombie-bozo next to you would like nothing more than for some tenet that you hold dear to be kicked to the curb by the cult. You are both still members of your cult with a fundamental disagreement.

Think it's bullshit? I'll make it simple: abortion. Do you think you disagree with some of your fellow cultists over abortion? Are those reasons mundane or theological, not that it really matters for the sake of the argument - of course, it would be best if the assessment was that it was theological. It is a difference and that makes one person's faith different from another.

It is up to an individual cultist to defend their own faith because they define their faith.

So by defending your faith, which, arguably, will contain tenets and ideas that are antithetical to advancement and human progress, what this imperative is really saying is: "Defend your ignorance."

That is much clearer to me.

Christian juries = evil zombie children

Source: CBS News (from BoingBoing.Net)

Of course this story takes place in Texas. Seems some jurors consulted bibblical passages concerning murder that happened to have elements of the crime for which they were sitting. The jury returned a death sentence, just like the characters in their cult manifesto ordered. The condemned took his case to the Supreme Court, who declined to hear the case.

Obviously this is a capital case so death was an option. The fact that some members of the jury consulted a mind-controlling cult's text for help to reach a decision is disgraceful and wrong. It now make you wonder how many jurors in untold numbers of cases have done this deliberately. Worse still, how many jurors have reached their own decision without having to look it up because they have memorized their cult manual? That chills the blood.

Juries are a nice concept but they do not work because people are involved. I would rather put my fate in the hands of a triumvirate of judges than twelve ignorant savages. Is that harsh? No. Attorneys love stupid people. The last thing they want is an educated person deciding a case. They cannot be swayed. They are not subject to cultistic mind-control. Those people think for themselves.

Makes me embarrassed to be a Texan.

Are you the worm?

Today, I drove past by my Taber-chuckle source. Reading the current sign again, my mind raced away with something like the following:

What I fixated on from this sign is the sleeping xian tidbit. As before, my first thought is WAKE UP! Get your ass out of bed and get to work. There are things to do, not just for your community and the world but also yourself.

Sleeping in a metaphor in this case but I find it is more realistic than not. The main thing that is dormant in these people is their curiosity. How can anyone look the cosmos, the planet, or even their front yard and not be interested in something? I cannot remember the exact quote but I believe it was Einstein who observed, roughly paraphrased, that he could not believe that a deity would create something as powerful as the human brain for it to just sit there idle and dormant (my embellishment). Considering that emphatic xians are so keen to earn daddy's favor, should not they do something to make it proud? Would not the creativity of the human mind be just the ticket?

What do these people think will make their daddy proud? Singing? Praying? Kissing its ass? Those seem to be the main avenues to the afterlife. No one wants to be subjected to such crap, except really old, senile people, or Alzheimer's patients. Those people are draining. They are tired of life, but will not admit it. They have nothing more to give, nothing to contribute. Instead, they focus on the glory days, when people cared who they were, when they had power and influence, when they meant something and had significance in the world. No more. Now they just sit there, drooling and loading up a diaper. To these people, daddy is omnipotent and omniscience but to me, it sounds a bit omnistultant. Only an idiot would not appreciate the creative potential of the human being.

Rather than doing something for the world, the people spend their lives groveling, crying, pleading, begging, crawling to daddy to take them up after death. Then what? Do you get to stand on two feet? Of course not. Daddy likes you on your knees in front of him. Keep doing it. Keep crawling like a worm. After a lifetime of practice, they only just suck at it.

What makes them think they can stand up and use opposable thumbs? Daddy is an old daddy. Its thinking is old-time thinking. Its loud-mouthed cheerleaders tell us this all the time. So why do they expect to suddenly find a progressive afterlife experience? Since no other aspect of their perception of daddyland is different from the same concept of those sheep herders who invented it after a week of huffing raw methane, why should this part be any different. There is nothing to do except what daddy wants. Even these people move out of their parents' house because they want their independence and freedom. When they die, they want to move right back in to Slavery Central.

Hmmm. Sounds like hell to me.

Simply ponderous

Newton, NJ stops having a sectarian invocation and members whine. Now they will have secular invocation to open sessions. Why?

I do not normally think about how often a prayer opens up a official government session of whatever. Congress does it. I would expect the Supreme Court does. It has no impact on the proceedings yet they feel compelled to do it, as if without it, the session will be somewhat less. They do not do it for the hell of it, it has a purpose. Functionally, it has no impact.

There may be some members of the session who have to have a prayer before they knuckle down to work. These people are weak and ineffective. Anyone who cannot work for themselves without offering some kind of pagan ritual beforehand should be chastised. For them, it is a prayer to their deity but it really is a pagan ritual. Historic texts that predate the blight of xianity describe a prayer ritual before government works, festivals, and the like. Much like everything else in xianity, they also ripped off the groveling need to beg their sky daddy for guidance because they are too stupid to do it themselves, or, most likely, in an attempt to channel the divine wisdom of a plate of spaghetti into their own dealings.

When these people in New Jersey were told that what they are doing is really not a good idea from a legal perspective, they wisely decided to stop doing it. If only they could have kept their mouths shut. They vomit out the same old shit of If you don't like it, close your ears! The same advice they ignore for the likes of Howard Stern or intelligent, adult material on the radio or tv. Then, that is filth that must be stopped. I am sure that the individual, who brought to their attention this problem, couldn't care less if someone wants to beg the invisible man for common sense to do their job. The objection is foisting it on everyone present. Not everyone is a dolt who needs to be told what to do. Some people can think and make intelligent decisions for themselves.

They have pissed and moaned and changed their ways...or not. Now they are going to try and devise a secular invocation before they start their business. Again, why? It is still a waste of time. The secular wording will only annoy the brain-dead babies who miss their brain-daddy. Every recitation will grate on them and hopefully drive them into apoplexy. With any luck, their heads will explode and then decent, intelligent people can be chosen to work on the council. Unless...that is all that their city has. If they have to perform a pagan ritual to decide when the county faire is, nothing help them if they have to make a real decision.

It is simply ponderous.

Pirate football and Death

There was an article in a local newspaper about a local high school football team whose boosters had purchased a good quantity of spirit flags for people and businesses to put up around town. The woman who voiced her opinion is grossly confused.

The skull and crossed bones, the Jolly Roger, is means to strike fear. It is not Satanic. xianity is replete with images of bones in paintings that hang in the Vatican museum, which I have personally seen. You find the motif on sarcophagi of popes and saints.

Perhaps there is a difference between the understanding of Catholics, the true xian faith post judaism, and her bastard-splinter faction of make-believe - which is not even 100 years old. Can she not even recognize that her faith is nothing more that a necrophilic cult?

Her vapidity makes me cringe that such mouth-breathers walk the earth. Read a fucking book and embrace the truth of your phoney-baloney system: alcohol gave you life, your sky daddy will only give you death. That is its only thing it will ever do for you.

On top of all this, this os about high school football in Texas. It is hard to decide which is more worthless.

FORT WORTH, Texas (2008-09-18) —

One person's spirit symbol is another's banner of doom, according to Hood County, Texas, residents involved in an unlikely scrap over black skull-and-crossbones flags intended to rally football fans round the Granbury High School Pirates.

"I've started a big stink, evidently, in Granbury," said Nadra Arnold-Curry, who spoke up at a recent Hood County Commissioners Court meeting to register her disapproval of the black flags distributed by the Touchdown Club football boosters. "I appreciate our teams and coaches, too. But I have to stand up for my biblical convictions." The 39-year Granbury, Texas, resident branded the flags "satanic" and warned that the city could be risking "the wrath of God" by flaunting them. Granbury is southwest of Fort Worth.

Hood County commissioners listened, then granted the booster club permission to post them on county property. "It had nothing to do with the content of the flags," Commissioner Dick Roan said. "Most of the flags in question were in the city of Granbury, but for the two or three that were on county property, we approved them."

SCHOOL SPIRIT

No doubt, the Jolly Roger symbol was originally intended to strike fear into the hearts of would-be pirate victims. But in Granbury?

"Everything I've ever read about black flags and white skulls and bones, it's called the 'flag of death,'" Arnold-Curry said this week. "That's what I automatically think of when I see it, gloom and doom." Arnold-Curry, football boosters and county commissioners alike say they can't believe that the flag flap has grown to such proportions.

"The Hood County News" has printed several letters and editorials after a Sept. 10 story on the Commissioners Court meeting, and other media outlets have checked in, too. "It's all fairly comical, in my opinion," said Don Titus, president of the booster club, which bought about 200 of the fearsome flags to rally community support on game weekends. The flags are posted around the city and at participating businesses on Thursdays and taken down on Saturdays during football season. With the arrival of coach Scotty Pugh from Dallas' Highland Park program, Granbury's less-than-stellar football program received a makeover during the off-season, Titus said. The Touchdown Club swelled from 20 to 400 members and began sprucing up school-spirit symbols such as repainting faded "peg leg" pirate footprints on sidewalks. Titus designed a new logo for the club, and plans called for putting his nonpirate "G" design on flags to line the streets.

"It was going to cost $80 apiece to have them made," he said, "so we went instead with the Jolly Roger design on pre-made flags that cost us $1.80 apiece."

Arnold-Curry and Titus spoke on the phone after the county meeting last week, he said. "The difference between us is she thinks the flags are satanic and I think they're nautical history."

TEAM SUPPORT

Sandy Price sells embroidered and screen-printed team uniforms and spirit wear at her Granbury shop, All About Sports & Awards. Her son Zach plays junior-varsity football. She flies the Jolly Roger in front of the shop every Thursday and Friday. "Before this even came up, we were hanging up a big old Jolly Roger sign in our 'Pirate Cove' area," she said. "Most of the people in town have been quite excited about it."

County Commissioner Steve Berry grew up with a Jolly Roger flag on his bedroom wall. "This is about kids, not parents or politics or even religion," he said, noting the record 256 boys who tried out for football this year in the revitalized Granbury program. "Everybody's entitled to their opinion," he said of Arnold-Curry's remarks. "There have been two or three other people who have said they don't like the way the flags look, and that's OK."

Reprehensible behavior

There once was a parent who went out one day with his children. The parent decided to go and do something that she wanted to do and left the children alone and unsupervised. The only thing that the parent did was tell the children not to play with an educational toy.

The children were playing until a nefarious man came along and told the children about the educational plaything. The children, being the innocents that children are, did play with the off-limits educational toy and were confused. When the parent returned and learned that they had played with the educational toy, he was angry. The children tried to tell their parent that a man told them that it was a good thing to do but the parent did not care and punished the children with physical abuse.

That story sounds familiar. Nonetheless, I would call CPS. Not because the children were punished -- kids should have the crap beaten out of them if they deserve it -- but instead because the parent is an idiot who should be sterilized to prevent her from polluting the gene pool.

Amusing musings: Prayer in school

One of many items that seems to be of great concern to theo-slaves and their theo-fascist masters is prayer in school. Today, while I was partaking in my morning ablutions, this popped into my head and I asked myself, for all the noise this generates, what is the actual purpose of prayer in school?

The correct answer is nothing any good. I will permit it in parochial schools because that is part of the overall process of branding the cattle, but what about real people in real schools?

Having a quick prayer before beginning the school day has but one purpose, to remind the kids of the invisible hand that will spank them later if they are egregious in their behavior. It is about control and keeping the herd in line. Let us take as an example one kid who really offers up some words to his personal IT. Why does this have to be done in school and not at home? Did the kid oversleep? Did he forget? Perhaps she forgot something during her normal morning domestic devotional and this is a postscript...or would that be a postdict? What is the subject of his words? Peace on earth? Help with her test? Making some great plays at the game tonight so that he can score with Jenny later? Does any of this really help them during the day? If they don't do this, will they go insane and ritualistically drink blood and eat human flesh (Tee-hee).

When I was subjected to this as a lad, I ignored it. First they had a quick scripture reading followed by a moment of silence. Later it was simple silence. Ah, sweet silence. Something greatly lacking with today's xians. A number of kids did assume the fealty position, without genuflecting, because the disembodied voice told them to do it. I'm taking a nap. My nap, all two minutes of it since I included the general announcements as well, did more for me than chatting with the boogieman. I would think about my test rather than cheating by asking skydaddy to help me. I would have a zen moment to calm my anxiety with greater results instead of waiting for an invisible molester to cop a feel.

Prayer in school: it is not needed as it does nothing any good. If you want to pray, do it at home or in your temple. Kids are learning next to nothing as is so let us make sure that they have all the time that is available to make themselves useful to a civilized society.

The Sunday funnies - part one.b

After writing the first segment, later that day, the phrase ignorance is bliss popped into my head. Immediately, I recalled my assessment of the parable of the garden of Eden.

The origins of the phrase are inconclusive but it must derive from some human situation where an individual, probably of privilege. The kings, hermits, and definitely children are other examples. After all, children are not informed as to the world so the harsh reality of life is nothing to them. A parent looks down into that cherubic face, thinks about their own awful day, and thinks those words.

I think that we have found another source, right there in the bibble. Garden of Eden, two idiots are wandering around doing nothing. Is that really paradise? When modern people think of the concept of paradise, I doubt that they are thinking of the garden of Eden. They are thinking of the multitudes of like-minded individuals...doing what?! Even in their afterlife state, they still cannot see or hear the deity. Even the angels cannot handle it. So once you are there, you still really will not know. What really is inside that light? Gawd, Jebus, Satan, an arc lamp, or darkness once the electrical activity in the brain fizzles away.

Blissful ignorance turns up rather frequently in the rhetoric of some modern xians. The Church certainly tried to keep its flock as dumb as its namesake. How is this remotely rewarding to an individual? On the other hand, who ever said that religion was about a reward? It is the obstacle course. Practice. Train. Run the race and maybe you will win.

The Sunday funnies - part one

Sunday morning is laundry time. The best part is throwing away the little magazines that are left there by the Mormons. I will look at the titles on the cover, sometimes I will look at the table of contents, have a nice chuckle and chuck them in the trash...but not this week.

There were two issues lying out whose covers just screamed of funny material. I was not disappointed. This is the first of several posts inspired by their contents.

This first writing will deal with their topic: Must we always tell the truth? That sounds like a loaded question coming from a very dubious source. I started reading the first main article, which began with a parable (nice to see them sticking with their writing tradition of inventing stories to make a point) of someone being backed into a corner and forced to make a choice of telling the truth or lying. After leaving the parabloid hanging in his predicament, the author brings in the first bibble reference.

The author writes: Jesus, of course, was referring to the event in the garden of Eden when Satan induced the first human pair to disobey God and thus fall victim to sin and death.

Touching. When writing that, I noticed this time the choice of the word pair as opposed to humans or man and woman but notice the lack of couple because of the lack of marriage. Anyway...

When I finished reading the paragraph, I knew that I had a gold mine in those thirty-one words. The first thing that popped into my head is the oft-cited mantra Gawd's plan. This mantra causes some problems with the author's sentence. Let's see what we have.

If you take the plan into account, then that means that Gawd planned for Satan to induce humans to sin. Humans were intentionally created to sin and fall from grace. Why would IT do that? Simple. Gawd is a wicked and vain deity. IT is wicked because IT intentionally created humans to fall. Once fallen, humans would be remorseful and want to beg for forgiveness to return to grace. A kind deity would not subject humans to atone for something that they were surreptitiously made to do in order to feed someone's/something's ego and need for praise.

Then there are the words: fall victim to sin and death. The only bad thing to which humans fell victim is a sneaky deity, who knew what they would do before they did it and then has the balls to punish them. When IT scooped up that first handful of clay, IT was probably salivating at the thought of the pain and suffering that would soon be inflicted by their punishment, which would lead to countless generations of pleas and prayers to IT.

Satan may have known what IT was planning and thus tried to help the humans by giving them knowledge to break them free of the naiveté and ignorance that was given them before being cast out or paradise. Can you imagine how screwed we would be if humans had done something else to be cast out?

Remind me again, which is the bad deity?

Science in Muslim Countries

Link: http://www.sciencemag.org/cgi/content/full/sci;321/5890/745

It is fairly obvious that the izlamic culture has fallen a long way from their very respected perch of 1,000 years ago. They are the people who saved the knowledge of the Greeks. They had impressive achievements in mathematics, science, astronomy, medicine, architecture, music, and literature.

What are they doing today? Nothing of significance.

Why? Religion. The article sums up that part quite well.

The author makes a good start of pointing out that America is not immune. However, as was pointed out on another site, the author does not mention medical research with stem cells or evolution. Plus, America being the over-achieving people that they are, I suspect the America can reach the same level of stagnation in a third of the time.

Taking those three items together (creationism being the third if you did not read the article), it is apparent that America is in grave danger of sliding down the slippery slope to global pig ignorance. The fundamentalists in the US are just as revolting as the izlamic mullahs and they are need to be removed from the planet.

Religion has never been a proponent of thinking and knowledge. After all, their product is the unknowable. Look at Xianity: the curse of man stems from acquiring knowledge. Not surprising is that the whole episode has a sexual undercurrent.

It is amazing to me that an individual would make a conscious choice to resist their curiosity for discovering the wonders that exist out there just because someone (a someone who somehow managed to know the unknowable???) tells them that an invisible entity does not like it and they may not make it into a place where they will be stuck - forever - with like minded, pig ignorant schmucks like themselves.

The Land of the Free, and the home of making a buck

My wonderful friends at the Tabernacle Baptist Church put a lovely thought on their sign out by the road (2008-07-01). This one reads: If the brave never left home, there would be no land of the free. This is a touching sentiment in these needlessly hawkish times and I am sure that these words give some solace to people who have had, still have, and have lost loved ones and friends in the armed forces.

However, this pandering makes me sick. Here's why.

1) You might want to come in and pray for the well-being of the country and its service personnel--and we will pass the plate.
2) You might want to come in and pray for any loved ones and friends who are called to duty--and we will pass the plate.
3) While they are away, we will be here for you to offer comfort during this trying ordeal--and we will pass the plate.
4) When your loved ones or friends come home safe and well - or even if they are missing a few body parts - come in for a few rounds of prayers of thanksgiving for their return--and we will pass the plate.
5) If, sadly, Jebus had planned for them to be killed because he does not like them, you or just for the hell of it, come in for prayers of mourning--and we will pass the plate.
6) Don't forget us when it is time to stick the corpse in the ground. We have ample group facilities to host services for the loved one. We won't pass the plate but there will be a fee.

(I think that six is enough.)

Ignoring the contemporary setting in which this thought was given, let us examine the fallacy of its message. America became the land of the free when the Declaration of Independence was signed (and we will ignore the fact that not every humanoid was free with its signing). No one had to leave to do that. It was done here. Then came the war for independence, which was fought here to preserve our assertion of independence. Some battles were fought in Canada so that might constitute going elsewhere but really now...it's North America.

The message certainly seems to tie into the concept of punishing terrorism that wants to destroy our way of life. I like that because it reminds me of another group who punished a terrorist that threatened their way of life. That group was the Romans and they fixed their little problem about...oh...two thousand years ago.

The PTC and You (Have you had your shots?)

Source: http://www.parentstv.org/PTC/news/release/2008/0805.asp

The heady brain trust that is The Parents' Television Council today released a report lambasting the volume of sex on television. They cite a number of shows (that I do not watch) as being not only full of innuendo but with situations that promote casual sex and affairs over marital sex. Somehow, I think that they would still have blood in their stool if the shows only had marital sex.

What these people fail to grasp is sex is a part of everyday life, whether you are a finch in a tree, an indian in a South American rainforest, an atheist, or one of the PTC's board members. Religion does not have a control on sex. Animals have been doing it for millions of years without the concept of marriage and civilized pagans were making the beast with two backs for a good four millennia B.C.E. (Yes, I know that the designation Before Christian Era is the new anthropological middle finger to uppity Xians).

Sex is not going to go away. It is here to stay until the last human in the universe expires. However, because Xianity has never grasped the concept of logic, I'll give you a hand and it won't cost you a single lap dance. This one is free of charge. PTC's slogan is: because our children are watching. Yes they are. Try watching it with them. If you don't like it, change the channel or do the intelligent thing and talk to them about in instead of withholding information as you have been brainwashed to do.

What's that? You can't discuss it because they won't understand? Too bad that you have stupid children. On the bright side, they are more than qualified for a theological job.

The Making of Middle School Lesbians

Inspired by: http://www.onenewsnow.com/Blog/Default.aspx?id=201220

This very amusing little ditty is supposed to bring right-minded, decent folk to a frenzy by explaining how Katy Perry's I Kissed a Girl is just another successful facet of the popular media's Turn-Everyone-Homo Program.

Let's clarify one thing right now. There is absolutely nothing wrong with two hot chicks making out. Plus, it has the added benefit of preventing pregnancy for the participants and any fortunate observers. No unwanted pregnancy equals no abortion so see it for the positive that it is.

Favorite lines

1. Now, I'm no legalistic.
An incomplete sentence for an incomplete thought. I suspect that the word moron is missing.

2. How long will all these media moguls be allowed to sit around board room tables and make decisions that alter the healthy development of our nation's kids?
They are not and it is not their job. You don't like the culture, don't have kids. Maybe then Christianity can go the way of the Shakers.

3. Oh, by the way, Katy Perry's real name is Katy Hudson. You might remember her from the 2001 album bearing her name on Red Hill records; it was a Christian album.
I guess that she wanted to make a few bucks instead of pandering to a bunch of troglodytes living in the Dark Ages.

Fiat snot-bubbles!

Highlights:
1) In this demonstration, a person is represented by a pickle. "Boy, he sure is an ugly pickle...but that pickle looks a lot like all the other pickles in here (ugly)."
2) "I bet they taste about the same, too." - Once more, the cannibalistic nature of the Jebus cult is exposed.
3) This pickle is like a person without Jebus. How do we change that? Impale it on two forks (forks?!? who uses forks? Perhaps you should say pitchforks), one in its head and one in it butt, and run a lethal power through it.
4) Look what happens! See how the power of Jebus makes the pickle-person boil alive from the inside! Look at that steam! Yessirree! That pickle looks a lot different now, as would anyone who was glowing in the dark because of an electric current.
5) The pickle is making a difference in the world around it. It is giving off a light that other people can see. So unless you can glow in the dark and electrocute people with a mere touch, you don't have the Jebus.
6) The most insulting statement is when Grandpa Bozo says that by becoming a xian, people are able to make a difference in the world. I would suspect that more people who are not xians have made more significant contributions of a greater quantity and quality than the whole of xianity, pagan and others impeded by theology. What are some of those differences made by xians? Suppression and destruction of knowledge. I think that I am feeling a warm glow inside, too, but I suspect that it is anger.
7) After the lethal power is removed, that pickle looks just like any other pickle...well, except for the corporal trauma from the impalement.
8) If we reapply the power..."funny things start to take place." Look at the steam and bodily fluid gushing out of it.
9) Most importantly, "don't try this at home." If you try to fill yourself with Jebus's power, you might burn down the house or kill yourself. On second thought, Please, try it.

Holy Crap! -- Church Cancels Teen Gun Giveaway

"I don't want people thinking, 'My goodness, we're putting a weapon in the hand of somebody that doesn't respect it who are then going to go out and kill,'" said Bob Ross, the church's youth pastor. "That's not at all what we're trying to do."

The giveaway is not an actual gun, but an AR-15 assault rifle. It's probably part of a recruiting system for the Army of Gawd. Anyway, that fact that you have to do this to increase attendance should tell you about the event in the first place.

One more thing. Nice grammar, Bob. There is a minimum of four major errors. No wonder the true message of your Gawd is confusing.

Sex and "children"

Some of America is in a lather over a portrait by legendary photographer Annie Leibovitz of Miley Cyrus. There are a number of points about this incident that disgust me. They will have to be presented one at a time so only at the end will the full picture be visible with all of the pieces interlocking nicely.

People are screaming about this as "the sexualization of a child." She is fifteen and in most jurisdictions, this is egregious. The photo shoot was not just for this shot. She was not forced to do it and made the decision herself. She is conscious of her self and her image. She would expose more skin in a modest bathing suit that she revealed in the photo. One or more parents were present for the shoot. Recently, she has apologized - ostensibly to her fans but in reality it was for the parents of her fans and the Disney organization. Her media empire will be worth around one billion dollars in a few years, just to herself. Who knows what Disney's take of this is. She is part of a show business family. While the motives of her washed-up, one-hit-wonder of a father may be in question, it is unlikely that her career is exploitive as it has been for some other child stars. Those are the two flavors of child stars. She definitely is very aware of her career and the impact of her actions on her audience. I am certain that she has been making more intelligent and important decisions for herself than most people ever will.

The first point of contention is that she is a child. Legally, yes. In addition, she will always be a child to her parents. Is she a child, no. Why? We humans have a double standard on this topic. With regards to animals, humans consider them adults when the reach the age that they can reproduce. We even artificially adjust the ages of our pets to make them fit into our own mortality system. At fifteen, it would be a medical problem if she had not reached menarche. Even our closest - and in the case of some people, an equal or better - primate compatriots, chimps, recognize this and will drive away males because they now are sexual competitors. It also occurs for females but not to the same level of ostracizion. The same standard of adulthood can be applied to humans because they are base, stupid animals, too. Humans reach reproductive maturity several years before the legal age imposed by cultures and societies. That makes them adults.

So why are humans not considered adults when they reach this physiological milestone? Is there something wrong with it? I hope not because that would mean that Gawd made a mistake. Gawd made humans work this way for a reason. Humans certainly are not prepared for adulthood at such an age - nor at any time - but that is because society imposed an artificial governor to impede them. There are a number of ideas about why: a flooded labor force, strains on the welfare system, and others. It is also unfortunate that they are in America because America does not have an adulthood preparation system that is any good. School has a modicum of impact and in reality has more to do with job preparedness than adulthood preparedness. I see three metaphors of reaching adulthood in modern America. One) A parent walks with their child down to the freeway. They watch the traffic for a while and suddenly, the parent pushes the child into to traffic. If the child is lucky, the parent will offer the advice of not being struck by a car. Two) The parent walks with the child down to the freeway. They watch it together for a while, but in the end, the parent never lets go and the potential in the child dies. Three) The parent lets their child drive the car every now and then, shows them how to maintain it, what the parts of a car are and explains the concepts of driving and the freeway. At the end, the child already has a car and has been driving themselves for a while. Most fall into the first category. More are becoming the second category while few enjoy the third. It is all backward-thinking that is motivated by self-interest.

Finally, the photo itself. It is sexualized? Is it sexual? Not really. Again, some clothing and swimsuits show more skin than this. This question is more about an individual's values; and not meat in a religious way. It has nothing to do with ethics (or morals - ethics for people who have to have their hand held). The values in question is an individual's dislike of sex. A person either likes sex or does not. If a person is neither one way or the other about it then they do not like it. Why dislike it? Sex is physiologically pleasurable so that we will do it more. If our sense of smell was strong as it is in animals, that would work to impel us as well. What is sexual about a bare back with nary a hint of gluteal cleavage and a fully-obscured-by-opaque-material profile view of the front? Nothing. It is the human form. It is supposedly made in the image of the divine. It is not something bad to see. I believe that, like the high-profile figures who perpetuate racism buy screaming about it the loudest (and not surprisingly purport to be religious leaders), people who demonize the glimpse of skin of any human are themselves salacious, sex monsters who are a heartbeat away from succumbing to their animal lust. It probably makes them feel out of control. How? Faith and religion about yielding control. They command the super ego and most of the ego. All that is left is the id, that little voice that commands you to masticate, defecate, and fornicate. Lose control of that and what is left? If only the grandparents of these anti-humans had been just as anti sex as they themselves are. Even better: if only they had been Shakers. You know, the people that make simple-looking furniture. Their sect requires strict abstinence so new members have to be recruited. Not many Shakers left. Apparently people want sex.

For a more contemporary update to the time that this was finally published, there is now the same sort of scandal in New Zealand with a sixteen-year-old fashion model named Zippora Seven. Aside from the exact same points being applied - except for having a parent on the set - this one is different. Fashion is allowed more leeway. At least it is in more civilized parts of the world. Plus, models are recruited when they are this young and even younger. Some fashion is quite absurd but so what. Some people go apoplectic over what they see on the fashion runways. Perhaps they also close their eyes when bathing. For them , I suggest that it would be easier to go ahead and gouge out their eyes to avoid the temptation. Might as well make this a real physical condition since they seem content to approach life and the world in a state of blindness.

Earth Day

Earth Day was two days ago. I like the earth but it has a few problems, about 5.75 billion of them. However, I like a scenic vista and natural space as much as the next person. Nothing warms the heart like walking in a quiet vale and watching wolverines tear a carcass apart. If you like the earth, the next Earth Day, protest the construction of any new church in your area. They are a plague significantly worse than golf courses; at least those are green. Churches are a hollow monument to man's selfish fears. Grow up, morons. Right up the street from me, there are three churches all within half a block from each other; two are across the street from each other. Then there are those mega-churches. Those should be dynamited on Sundays when they are full because those churches cater to a certain clientele that the earth definitely can do without who are worse than regular facilities.

Some additional thoughts regarding the Fundamentalist mormon cult in Texas

There definitely is no religious freedom in American but fortunately it works both ways. Personally, I would rather have splinter xian groups, like this quiet, contained, yet nutty Mormon enclave, dotting the landscape than wacky, disturbing, loud-mouthed fundamentalist groups like Jerry Falwell, Pat Robertson, or any of those sanctimonious luddites with TV ministries. I digress.

I have not kept up with this story because it is not an important issue to me. I have a position on child abuse but nowadays, abuse is as over-used and over-extended as hero. I once saw an billboard saying that teachers are heroes. No. They can be someone's hero but their actions are not heroic. Fighting fires and patrolling the streets also is not heroic. Running back into a burning building four times to rescue people and keeping innocents safe in a violent situation is. Unfortunately, those actions come as a high price. That is heroic. I digress.

Was this all a setup to allow the government to poke its head in and pull off a raid? Maybe but how did they know that this was going on? Someone would had to have reported it, even before an operation to plant someone inside. If Sarah - a good Jewish name - is real, she is probably sequestered as a government witness. I doubt that weapons were the reason because the Feds would have moved differently, despite Waco - because the government goes by the manual and never learns. No, I am sure that their interest was the the welfare of the children. The government loves children and in much the same way the adult males of the sect were. George Carlin has a wonderful routine about the government's love/hate relationship with children: it loves the pre-born but once you are born, you are F-ed (George Carlin : Back in Town/, one of his best shows).

This is biggest issue of the bunch: the kids. America has developed a culture and society that oppresses children. Some kids are impressive because, even at eight or ten, they can carry on an educated, adult conversation because its parents cared about their child. It was exposed to information and knowledge, allowed to explore the world of ideas and develop their own, even treated as an adult. Just imagine if kids today were given the opportunity to reach for the boundaries. I think that America would not be the five hundred pound retarded gorilla that it is today. We would be Europeans.

No matter how much people dislike the concept, humans are animals - just like a dog, cat, monkey, bird or fish. When animals reach menarche, they start mating. When young apes reach the age to reproduce, they are driven off because they are sexual rivals to the parents. That is adulthood. Society and its culture define an artificial - i.e., unnatural - boundary. It goes against our innate nature. Males reach their sexual peak at seventeen or eighteen - the societal age of adulthood.

What was hyped to no end in the media was that young women were being married to older men and having children. Oh, no! Young women were having sex. That is the red alert. I think that there were a few mentions of young males being married off but those quickly disappeared from the story because that is a badge of honor for men, or it was completely false to try and lessen the perceived gravity of the situation. Women were being the sexual creatures that they are. Is it abuse? No. Obviously it is not an issue to reproduce so young or the body would not work that way. Oops, I meant to say that gawd would not have fashioned to body to work that way. Society is to blame for the age of consent problem but it is understandable. Populations would become unmanageable and drain resources, lowering the quality of life of adults. Then we would become a third-world country. In reality, medicine is to blame for this. Old people live too long, but I digress.

Xianity is wholly to blame. Saint Paul, the Apostle, was celibate but at least he did not pound his chest about it. He has plenty of crimes to answer for as is. There is another Saint, maybe Augustine or someone else, who is responsible for the establishment for xianity's attitude towards sex on top of its existing fear and hatred of women. He is a mega-hypocrite because he only came to this realization after literally screwing everything under the sun (I do have a source to quote this that I will find and insert here) and finding gawd. It is unclear if the two are related. Augustine definitely is responsible for the concept of Original Sin - not the act of eating the fruit of the tree of knowledge but A&E gettin' their freak on. The reason why is another topic altogether. I try not to digress.

So, to sum up: this incident is a hollow show of protecting female "children" because they were being married off to older men, breaking the artificial rule of the society surrounding their enclave regarding sexuality and children, also artificially defined, all because some old man, 1600 years ago, was tired of sex and additionally because of the fear of the inexorable power of female sexuality.
