Patron Saint of Children is a Guy?

The christian tradition of making everyday folks really special, is known as sainthood. The patron saint of kids is saint nicholas. I guess a saint for children is supposed to care for & stand by kids and just make sure they're alright. Firstly - In my few years on this earth, I have noticed the the vast majority of child care is provided by women. Why wouldn't the saint for kids be a woman? Oh yeah I forgot, women are nothing more than chattels. Secondly - It seems to me that some men in the christian church are the ones who molest boys - not care for them. Oh, shit! Maybe that's what a saint is! Maybe saints are supposed to be oppressive, cruel, molesting assholes. I guess if your not part of the christian church, you just don't get the meaning of this sainthood shit. Come on Mr. popeman, let's make a woman the patron saint of kids.

Chillin' in Vancouver

Well I'm here sitting in the hotel as I write (type). Continuing reading Sam Harris's book - The End Of Faith. It's a great read - if you believe that the god idea is bullshit and very anti human. Anyhow, I'll keep you posted on this book.

God Is Powerless Cause God don't Exist

So god is all powerfull and all knowing and all bullshit. God is powerless. Why does he need piss ants like humans to do his bidding on earth? If god is the supreme judge, why don'y religious folks let him judge? Why take away his fun? Why pretend like you know what is ultimately right or wrong? Religious folks do this cause they know that their god can't do jack shit without the assistance of humans. That's how pathetic god and his 'powers' are. (Psst... religious people that belive in god - he doesn't exist).

The Democratic Lunacy Of The USA

As the folks in the US get ready to vote for a new president, there are some who are getting ready to lynch one of the candidates. How is it that you can have democracy when many American's have such racially motivated hatred for one of the people running to be their president? I guess as long as you are a born-in-the-US-of-A kinda person, you have the right to run for president - but you do not have the right to win if you are black. It seems that anyone in the USA that is black is labeled a criminal, terrorist or un-christian. These are not the qualities of an American president. But what about democracy, freedom and all that other feelgood bullshit that the US is so famous for? Why is it that it only applies overseas and not at home? As my title implies, the US seems to be a country of a few too many wackos. It seems that these wackos are from a particular part of the US. Enough said. It is the freedom in the US that would allow anyone to be part of the The Democratic Lunacy Party. But, does freedom and democracy not require responsibility? Can we and should we really be able to say what we please without consequence? Watching those yahoos talk about Senator Obama in such a (racially motivated) hateful way (on youtube), makes me wonder if the US could ever have a REAL democratic election. BTW - a big SHAME ON YOU - Mr. McCain for allowing that racist bullshit to continue. Shame on you and your sidekick Sarah.

Yours, for a harmonious tomorrow

If this is religion - religion is sick

Hey all. Just some bullshit masquerading as "morality".
First, is a link to some religious fella who seems to think (like so many other twisted folks) that the bible has the "highest morality code". The site can be found at -

http://esoriano.wordpress.com/2008/09/10/the-bible-has-the-highest-morality-code/

The second item shows someone (a woman we're told) being stoned to death. The stoning is captured on a cell phone, judging by the crappy video. It can be seen at -

http://ballyblog.wordpress.com/2007/05/04/iraqis-stone-girl-to-death/ - note: this is not something christians would do.

Another story of high morals comes from the book of judges 19:22 (of the tanakh). The story is clearly a knock-off of the Genesis 19 story. I urge you to read about the two biblical stories and the apparent moral lesson, I really do. And if you need an explanation of the second tale, go to -

http://www.thebricktestament.com/judges/gang_rape_and_dismemberment/jg19_01.html

for a version I think anyone can understand.

The sad part of this exercise is that there are many out there who believe that being bad to other people - cause god said so - is moral (and if you want more examples, feel free to comment on this post).

I just wanted to give you a little taste (again) of the bible's "highest morality code" with some examples.
