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…

The Jew.

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.

This Is An Outrage!

February 17, 2010 by Brandon | 2 Comments

Rachael Harrington of the Sacramento Area Coalition of Reason probably isn’t very happy today. A billboard which the Coalition of Reason paid to put up on a stretch of road was vandalized; the original message was inoffensive enough, stating, “Are you without God? Millions are.” However, someone felt the need to tag at the end, “ALSO LOST?”

Now, I’m not so much concerned about the actual vandalism. Honestly, I don’t really expect anything less of the moral religious community. I think what really is getting me is the outrage at atheists over their annoyance that their property was vandalized. Yeah. You heard that right. There are people somehow spinning this, making the atheists the bad guys because they’re annoyed that someone ruined their billboard, calling atheists a bunch of whiny hypocrites that can dish it out but can’t take it.

Can’t take what? Destruction of property based on your insecurity about a message that isn’t a criticism of you? A message that isn’t even directed at you? Says a lot, if you ask me.

Old News Is Good News

December 26, 2009 by Brandon | 3 Comments

December was a very busy month for me. As some of you know, I moved, and setting up a new apartment is time consuming to say the least.

So when I first heard this story, I didn’t have a chance to write about it. And what better time to write about a ”Christmas miracle” than the day after Christmas?

If you ask one year old Nicholas Coke’s mother, she’ll tell you her son is a miracle. He doesn’t do much that other one year olds do, but that’s to be expected when you’re born without a brain.

Yeah, that’s right. This child has no brain, just a brain stem which somehow allows his internal organs to at least function.

So tell me, how exactly is this a miracle? It’s a gift from God that he gave you a brainless child who will undoubtedly die within the next year, and has only survived this long as some sort of fluke? Your miracle is a child who will never even be able to precieve or appreciate the love you’ve given it?

It’s possible that they could just be speaking figuratively when they call him a miracle, but I somehow doubt it. I’m just facinated with these sort of things; when people take a horrible situation, and then claim it’s a miracle… like it somehow makes it all better. Like when there is a bad car accident and seven people are killed but it’s a miracle that the baby in the car, who now has no mommy, came out physically unscathed.

Miracles do not work that way. Not that they work at all, but if they did, that’s not how they would work. A glimmer of hope through a terrible tragedy is not a miracle. The idea that you’ve somehow become a stronger person after having been made to suffer is not a miracle. And a baby born without a brain, no matter how long it lives without it, is not a miracle, although it takes a person without a brain to think it is.

Won’t Someone Think Of The Children?

December 11, 2009 by Brandon | 1 Comment

It’s official. The Duggars now have #19. Weighing in at just one pound, six ounces, Josie Brooklyn Duggar was delivered via an emergency Cesarean section yesterday after Michelle Duggar was airlifted to a hospital earlier in the week for gallbladder problems. The child is three month’s premature, and was due in March. I have no doubts that by March, the Queen Duggar will be incubating the next larva, which will secrete a sticky mucus in order to defy gravity and adhere itself to her uterine wall.

I honestly wonder what it’s going to take for them to realize how dangerous this is. I don’t believe they will be dissuaded by this little mishap. A premature baby? Pssh. It’s alive, and if it pulls through, it’ll probably just strengthen their resolve and belief that God is on their side. As terrible as this sounds, I wait – sitting with suspenseful anticipation of the day when she pushes out some horrific, gelatinous monstrosity, a freak of nature which will blink at her lovingly with its seven eyes, then release a wail from one of its three mouths which will strike deaf the kings of all nations, ushering in a thousand years of darkness.

Maybe then they will see the error of their ways.

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.

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.
