Catholic Insanity

Monday, March 7th, 2011

Just when you think you’ve heard it all, that no other statement of religious “devotion” could floor you – the religious loons surprise you once again.

Daylight Atheism has an article titled, The Catholic Church Answers Your Sex Questions.  It’s brief, but worth the time to gain a further insight into the unbelievable insanity of Catholic Christianity in action.

The author’s conclusion is spot on.  “The Pascal’s Wager logic, which so often assumes that joining a religion is cost-free, hides the fine print: you will end up paying a price, and it may be a lot higher than you think. How can anyone be truly happy in the mental slavery of a religion that layers on the guilt and threats for breaking such absurd laws? And wouldn’t people like this be much happier if they abandoned these superstitious beliefs and instead adopted a rational, humanist alternative sexual ethics?”

TSA – Security Theater

Monday, November 15th, 2010

This has to be one of the best articles I’ve read on the subject of the total ineffectiveness of the Transportation Security Administration (TSA) at airport security.  Whether you want to believe it or not, they haven’t helped security one bit.  However, they’ve certainly made a once proud nation of jet-setters into an efficient police state.

Read “The Things He Carried” from The Atlantic magazine.

Addendum: Just for those that scoff, security can be done right at the airport, without the need for a police state mentality.

Addendum2: This story has to be one of the worst.  How long are we going to put up with these Nazi tactics?

Addendum3: Read these accounts filed with the ACLU.  The TSA has become a government sponsored rape squad!

Motorcycle Mania

Friday, November 5th, 2010

I consider myself a biker, as I’ve spent 27 years in the saddle almost non-stop and I’m still here.  Over those years I’ve seen some crazy things done by others on two wheels that have made me shake my head and wish that they’d not give the rest of us a bad name.  Never have I been so ashamed of one of my fellow two-wheeled enthusiasts, than I am with this.

I’m ashamed, because this unbelievable mentally deficient jackass, has post-facto earned the Moron of the Year for 2008.

We can laugh it, only because as far as we know, no one was hurt.  That said, this has to be one of the most brain-dead stunts I’ve ever seen.

I’m also a bit embarrassed  that  this didn’t come to my attention when it was first posted, three years ago.  Oh well, I can’t keep up on everything.

On a side note: If he had smashed up during this stunt, I wonder if the news would have mentioned that he was wearing a helmet?

BP Oil Spill

Thursday, June 17th, 2010

I’ve been trying to come up with some kind of assessment of this mess in my head, but the news seems to change with the wind and there is so much information to process on it, that I still feel like I’m floundering around without direction. Perhaps an apt metaphor might be, that I feel like a sea bird in an oil spill.

The situation is certainly worse than what is being stated and eyewitness reports from those not associated with BP are saying as much.  BP proves time and again that they are lying sacks of horse manure, with no integrity of any measurable kind.

Still, with the deluge of data, I can’t seem to come up with a distinct and succinct way to verbalize my assessment of it all.  I guess I’m suffering writer’s block.

Thankfully, Washington’s Blog has managed to write an article on the subject, rife with links to all the data, to save me from my current stupefied verbal impotence.  It manages beautifully to summarize the situation and all that is wrong with it.

The Barbaric Nightmare of Sharia Law

Monday, May 24th, 2010

We are posting the following video so that every American who continues to believe that Sharia law is not a threat to the West, and that the adherents to fundamentalist Islam are peaceful. The following video evidence will illustrate otherwise.

This simple description does not do the video justice. The scene shown, where three supposed spies are savagely butchered by the Taliban in Pakistan in early April of this year, show the utter, despicable horror which is Islamic Sharia law in practice. The brutality is nearly immeasurable and almost impossible to watch.  Like the video of the vile murder of Danial Pearl, it will stay with you forever.  It is the stuff of nightmares!

I view all religion as dangerous to rational, humane thought, but fundamentalist Islamic tradition rivals the Inquisition and witch hunts of the mediaeval Christian church in its poisonous attack against decency itself.  The major difference is not in the brutality it conjures, for all middle eastern  religions have their fair share of horrid behavior in the past. The difference is that fundamentalist Islamic Sharia law is alive and well in the otherwise enlightened 21st century and there are many who push the Islamic goal of world conquest under its barbaric rule!

Not as a Westerner, nor as a citizen of the United States, but as a human who believes in true justice, liberty and peaceful coexistence as the ultimate goal of the human species; this cannot be allowed to continue, or to grow.   We have to stop avoiding the issue and see it for what it is.

There is a concerted effort on the part of the European Union and to a lesser extent in the United States, to side-step facing the issue.  Islamic groups in Europe, especially Britain and Denmark, have been making great strides in receiving special status in the law.  Britain, in a move of inexplicable insanity, has already embraced official Sharia courts,  and there are some areas in Europe which are quite literally becoming Islamic sub-states, where the local authorities do not tread. The United Nations even had such gall as to allow Islamic nations to attempt to pressure for a world law against blasphemy!

It would seem there are those in western governments who are willing to concede parts of their law and custom, in order to appease the Islamic curate, as if such action will remove or lesson the chance of terrorist activity or other civic violence.

Such thinking is stupid.  It allows fear to rule over us.

The West practiced the same kind of horrific violence and torture through its embrace of Christianity and there is no excuse for it.  Similarly, there is no excuse not to recognize the dangers of a religion which has not transcended these blatantly evil practices.  We have been there and we should know better.

We can no more allow the vile workings of Sharia law to pollute the cultural progress of the enlightenment, than we can allow the Catholic Church to reinstate the witch hunts and the Inquisition.

There is no place in a free world for Sharia law. It is the modern epitome of religious evil and cannot be allowed to gain any further footing in the world. In fact, if the goal of the human race is to achieve true peace and liberty, Sharia law must be completely eliminated from the face of the planet.

To handle Sharia law with kid gloves, only enables its foul grip on the world to grow.
