More Famous Than Jesus
April 14, 2010 by Brandon | Leave a Comment
Because the Vatican has nothing else of any importance to work on, they’ve decided to forgive The Beatles for their past transgressions, most notably Lennon’s 1966 comment about the band being bigger than Jesus, causing the church to brand them as being satanic. How kind of them.
At least one of The Beatles couldn’t care less, as Ringo Starr told CNN. Like myself, he thinks that the church has more important issues to deal with than forgiving a band for some comments made over 40 years ago.
It seems to me that in the wake of their massive abuse scandal, they’re attempting create some news worthy stories to divert attention away from the fact that the Pope is at the head of numerous abuse cover-ups perpetrated by the church.
If this keeps up though, I think I’m going to have to dedicate a whole category to the Catholics.

Catholic Backlash Leads To Vandalism
April 14, 2010 by Brandon | 5 Comments
There seems to be a growing backlash against the Catholic Church, and more specifically, Pope Benedict, as their pedophile sex-abuse scandal continues to wither the public’s faith in them.
Yesterday, Pope Benedict’s birthplace in Marktl am Inn, was vandalized with spray painted obscenities referring to the scandal. The building was recently converted into a museum to honor the Pope. Authorities have since painted over the text, and unfortunately I’ve been unable to find exactly what was written.
Now obviously I have no idea if this was done by a Catholic, and odds are it wasn’t, but I think it’s a perfect demonstration of what I’ve been saying; the Catholic church needs to admit to their wrong doing, launch an investigation with full cooperation with the authorities, and Ratsinger needs to, at the very least, step down as Pope. There is no other way that the Church is going to gain forgiveness in the public’s eye over this.
It’s extremely unlikely that any of these things will occur, because the Church is in far too deep at this point. Instead, they’ll just keep blaming who ever or whatever they can, from the devil and Jews, to the media and homosexuals. Next thing you know, they’ll be blaming Obama.

Expelled: No Darwin Allowed
April 14, 2010 by Brandon | 3 Comments
At least the Catholics have one thing going for them, and that’s their acceptance of evolution. As one theology professor has learned, it’s pretty dangerous for you to openly admit to accepting evolution in some theology schools of “higher learning.”
Florida’s Reformed Theological Seminary has kicked professor Bruce K. Waltke out after a video blog of his surfaced. In the video, Waltke allegedly states that Christianity’s continued denial of evolution will “make [them] a cult.”
A pretty bold statement from a professor at a seminary with an explicit mandate on never mentioning evolution.
What I find so amusing about this is the blatant hypocrisy on display here. The religious right is bent on “teaching the controversy” in our public schools, that is, injecting intelligent design into biology classes so that students can have “both sides” of the argument. Yet when it comes to their schools, they’ll force a professor out for his private thoughts on the matter outside of the classroom.
I wonder what Ben Stein has to say about this. Perhaps he should make another documentary about religious schools not teaching evolution and firing professors who discuss the subject, because after all, the purpose of his film was simply to demonstrate the unfairness and bias in the education system. Right? Yeah, right.

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.

The Church Is Trolling Us
April 2, 2010 by Brandon | 2 Comments
Blame it all on Satan. That’s what the Catholic church is apparently doing. After the media’s frenzy of attacks on the Vatican and the pope, a “noted” exorcist in Italy came out and said that all of this is the devil’s doing; specifically, the Prince of Darkness is apparently using the New York Times as his mouth piece to comdemn the church’s pedophilia.
Wait, what? Is this idoit serious? No, he can’t be. This guy has to be a troll. I mean, what priest would honestly state that the condemnation of pedophilia and those who cover up pedophilia is evil?
Apparently this guy also thinks that stating that priests are just men and can get tempted by the devil to diddle the kiddles makes everything ok. No, it doesn’t. Here’s some advice, Church. You lost this one. Face it. Ratsinger? Step down. You’re already a disgrace and if you really care about protecting your Church’s image, that’s what you’ll do. Give all information regarding the pedo-priests you’ve protected over to the appropriate authorities for investigation. Then, and only then, will you actually gain some kind of redemption in the public’s eye.
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.
