Everybody Loves Blaming The Jews!
April 13, 2010 by Brandon | 1 Comment
The Catholic Church is on a roll; the other week, it was some esteemed Catholic exorcist blaming the Church’s pedophilia woes on Satan himself, but as we all know, there is only one thing more evil than Satan…
Wait for it…
Yes, the wily Jew is to blame. I mean, they’re so bad that they’re literally grabbing priests by the hands and forcing them to rub the private areas of children, all the while cackling nasally with glee.
At least, that’s what Bishop Giacomo Babini would like you to believe. In an interview that is too psychotic to make up, the retired bishop charges the “eternal enemies of Catholicism,” the Jews and the Freemasons, for concocting this hysteria over the Church’s “alleged” abuses. But mostly it’s those pesky Zionists. The good bishops says, “deep down, historically speaking, the Jews are God-killers.” God-killers indeed. That’s why I absolutely love the Jews. They do my work for me.
But Babini didn’t stop there, he also concluded that the Jews brought the Holocaust upon themselves, stating, “Don’t believe that Hitler was merely crazy. The truth is that the Nazis’ criminal fury was provoked by the Jews’ economic embezzlement, by which they choked the German economy. [Their] guilt is graver than what Christ predicted would happen to them, saying ‘do not cry for me, but for your own children.’”
I’m really enjoying watching this. Every day, a new article comes out with some new allegation, some zany denial of the allegations, or what have you. The Church just doesn’t get it, and I know they’re in trouble when I heard one particular person state that even they will no longer make any attempt to defend the Church from criticisms.
You know who you are. Welcome to the Dark Side. I baked cookies.
In other news, you may have noticed the new Retweet button on the blog, placed in an effort to utilize Twitter to gain more readers. If it annoys you, too bad, so sad.

Pedo Bear Seal of Approval
November 2, 2009 by Brandon | 10 Comments
Mr. O was kind enough to send me a link to this wonderful article right from our own backyard in York, Pennsylvania. The local Planned Parenthood building has apparently been the site of some protests, led by one Rev. Virgil Bradley Tetherow, who calls himself Father Gabriel.
Father Gabriel, and his congregation of religious trolls, have been verbally assaulting the volunteers and clients of York’s Planned Parenthood, yelling such things as “coward,” “moronic idiot,” and “the personification of the face of evil” at them.
Obviously, Planned Parenthood didn’t approve of this, and upon Googling Tetherow’s name, they found an interesting surprise!
Four and a half years ago, police in Monroe County charged Tetherow with 10 counts of possessing child pornography and 10 counts of criminal use of a communication facility, according to court records.
Tetherow later pleaded guilty to one charge of criminal use of a communication facility — a felony. The District Attorney’s Office dropped the other charges, and a judge sentenced Tetherow to two years’ probation.
That’s right, Mr. Tetherow likes to diddle the kiddles.
Oh the sweet irony of it all.
“Here’s this guy yelling and screaming at us, telling us we’re going to hell,” said Liz Burcin , a Planned Parenthood volunteer. “He’s trying to dictate morality to us when he has this in his past.”
Apparently the good Father hasn’t read his Bible. If you happen to be reading this, Mr. Tetherow, please turn to John, chapter 8, verse 7. Read it a few times so it sinks in.

I Almost Felt Bad
October 23, 2009 by Brandon | 7 Comments
A 20 year old Home Depot worker was fired recently in Florida, apparently over a button which read, “One nation under God, indivisible.”
Now I know what you’re thinking. Big deal. Frankly, at first I agreed. Who cares? Why should he be fired for that? He wore the button for 19 months without incident. That is… until he started toting a Bible to work, too.
Trevor Keezer says at this point his manager confronted him about the button. “That’s when I was told it had to come off, or I would be sent home. So they sent me home for six straight days without pay. And then today they terminated me,” he said.
Notice the omission there where he doesn’t tell you that he refused to remove the button, and that’s why he was sent home without pay and then fired. He was admittedly given an option to remove it, which he apparently didn’t.
So now I can’t feel bad for the idiot. The article doesn’t really detail exactly why he was confronted about the button after it had been ignored for so long, but honestly all it will take is one customer or employee complaint. Keezer was technically breaking the dress code with the button, and Home Depot issued a statement saying that they have their own buttons for employees to wear, including one in support of the US, which states, “United We Stand.” Why didn’t he accept that button? Showing support for the military was Keezer’s real concern, after all. Wasn’t it?
Apparently not.. Keezer said he preferred to wear his button because, “you can’t have country without God. Every pin they showed me had no ‘God’ on it or anything.”
Well no shit, Sherlock. If the company endorsed a button that said that, they’d probably have a real religious discrimination case on their hands, rather than firing your stupid ass for not complying with their dress code policy and the request of your superior to follow that policy.
Let me make this clear. The way you avoid religious discrimination is by ignoring all religions. If you give special treatment to one without giving it to the others, you are now discriminating. It is against the law.
It should come as no surprise that the local bumpkins are up in arms over this, because a company dared to refuse their God special treatment. They’re calling for boycotts of Home Depot, and some other local company is saying they’re going to order buttons for their employees to wear.
I assure you, if I was working there, and they made me wear a button that said that, or refused to allowed me to wear a button that said “One nation, under Ceiling Cat,” there would be trouble.

Couple Believed God Can Heal Their Sick Son
October 8, 2009 by Brandon | 7 Comments
Not two hours from where I live, a Pennsylvania couple is being charged with involuntary manslaughter after allowing their two year old son to expire from bacterial pneumonia in their Philadelphia home. The parents believe that God can heal the sick through prayer, but as the body of their dead son would suggest, it didn’t quite work out as planned.
“All it would have taken is a simple visit to a doctor for antibiotics or Tylenol, maybe, to keep this child alive,” Assistant District Attorney Joanne Pescatore said during the couple’s preliminary hearing.
And that’s what makes this so sad, that a very treatable illness took the life of this child because his parents are nutjobs.
Herbert and Catherine Schaible, who are out on bail, are the worst of the worst, in my opinion, when it comes to religious fanatics. Believe what you want. Do to yourself whatever you want to do in accordance to those beliefs. But your religious rights end there. You unfortunately have the right to brainwash your kid with whatever nonsense you want to shove in his or her brain, but when it comes to physical neglect and abuse, all bets are off.
Hopefully something good will come out of this; hopefully it will create some sort of precedent in this state that holds idiots like these two accountable for their crimes, instead of allowing them to hid behind their religion.

Ethiopian Patriarch Not Releasing Ark Of The Covenant
June 27, 2009 by Brandon | 3 Comments
I suppose he was for releasing it before he decided against it.
Ethiopian Orthodox patriarch Abuna Pauolos announced that he never was going to reveal the Ark of the Covenant:
Following on from my last post, apparently we all missed this report in Adnkronos last week , which includes a clarification from Ethiopian Orthodox patriarch Abuna Pauolos:
Non sono qui per dare delle prove che l’Arca sia in Etiopia, ma sono qui per dire quello che ho visto, quello che so e che posso testimoniare. Non ho detto che l’Arca sarà mostrata al mondo. E’ un mistero, un oggetto di culto.
A Freeper has helpfully provided a translation:
I am not here to give proofs that the Ark is in Ethiopia, but I am here to say what I saw, what I know and I can attest to. I didn’t say that the Ark would be revealed to the world. It is a mystery, an object of veneration.
via Ethiopian Ark of the Covenant Not To Be Revealed After All « Bartholomew’s Notes on Religion.
My translation? “Uh, yeah, about that Ark. We have it. Oh, believe me, we have it. I’ve seen it. But you’re just going to have to take my word for it, because you’ll never get to see it. It’s uh, a mystery. To everyone. But me. I’ve seen it. I’m telling you I’ve seen it. Isn’t that good enough for you?”
Epic fail.

What is Fractal Wrongness?
The state of being wrong at every conceivable scale of resolution. That is, from a distance, a fractally wrong person's worldview is incorrect; and furthermore, if you zoom in on any small part of that person's worldview, that part is just as wrong as the whole worldview.
