One lady kicks the pomposity of religion in the nuts – go on yerself

I love this lady who makes an archbishop crap himself:

But do not ask the unthinking Tory groupies to actually address the beam in their own eye. Raped kids seem to be okay to these losers because they can always point to other equally as mad religions that the dark and swarthy [...]

White, xtian men covered up the physical and sexual abuse of children by other white, xtian men.

The final report is out.
The catholic church in Ireland was the recipient of organised help in covering up its horrific actions towards small children in its care. The organised help came from the hierarchy of the church in Rome (including the office that the present pope held last) as well as at the diocese level.
The [...]

Staring at Goats – what happens when you base your beliefs on nothing

I have just read “The men who stare at goats” by Jon Ronson.
I really do not know what I think anymore. It was an absolutely mind boggling read and as Ronson created his world it became more apparent that it was anything but a comedy.
The book introduces the reader to some seriously screwed up personalities [...]

The Religion – Capitalism dilemma perfectly illustrated.

Apparently the stuff we make things out of and wrap things in is made of organic chemicals that have been found to have had some very serious side effects. They make males more feminine.
“This feminising capacity of phthalates makes them true ‘gender benders’.”
Oh my sainted aunt. The capitalist nature of commerce is changing the manliness [...]

The Last Witch of Langenburg – T Robisheaux: at the twilight of christian sharia law.

This was a great read. It wasn’t  a book that you could read while enjoying a whisky though. There were numerous citations to follow and you needed to constantly remind yourself that you had to read it bearing in mind the knowledge of the day.
It was a great legal and social drama and intrigued and [...]

“Torture doesn’t work” – Professor J Schaller

“In 1658, Jacob Schaller, professor of philosophy and ethics, had published a treatise marshaling all the compelling arguments against torture: that it stupefies the senses and makes it impossible to get at the truth; that it produces false confessions; that the Bible does not justify it; that torture produces tyranny and injustice; that nature itself [...]

One picture damns all – The Israeli Foreign Minister reasons rationally

At the risk of being accused of criticising Israel and thus being subjected to accusations of hating everything Jewish. I found this page wherein the the seemingly confused Israeli Foreign Minister Avigdor Lieberman is insisting that a picture be sent around the world.

The reason for this is because the Minister appears to have gotten himself [...]

Wowser – a great word that will apply to all of us some of the time and some of us all of the time

Came across the magnificent word “wowser” today.
It’s Australian in origin and means:
“An ineffably pious person who mistakes this world for a penitentiary and himself for a warder” CJ Dennis

More evidence that the catholic church officially tried to subvert the course of justice.

Via J Turley it appears that the church hierarchy tried to hush up all reporting of child abuse in the late 20th century. It even went as far as interfering with police inquiries, even if those inquiries were at best insipid and the behaviour of the officers involved seems suspicious.
The lead investigator in the case [...]

Xtians say the moslems hate them and just to prove it’s true they make stuff up – A spat between the truly delusional

Murdoch’s empire is so concerned about the moslem hoards that they are willing fabricate stories to show just how bad these moslems are.
My view is that all religions are equally as screwed up as each other and it is purely a matter of who has the swallowed the biggest pill of retard that determines who [...]
