The hits just keep coming….if seems that politicians and others cannot go very long without showing their arrogance and saying so anal it just begs to be pointed out…..
In my anger with the religious BS coming out of the Vatican, I almost forgot to add the Pope to the most anal of statements….I will rectify that here…..
Recently, when the story broke about the priest in Wisconsin that had molested at least 200 deaf boys at a school for the deaf, the Pope handled all the outrage at the act and the handling of ALL molestation charges leveled at others in the church, by saying:
he would not “be intimidated by … petty gossip”.
Petty gossip? I covered this situation in some detail yesterday here on Info Ink……check it out….and give your opinion…..
When will the American people start demanding that these sexual predators start being treated like the degenerate toads they are? I have NO use for any organization that allows this type of behavior within their ranks….and that includes any church that does!
Well, I can’t argue with any of that except to ask: Aren’t most (all?) organised religions predatory by nature? So, to me, it’s no surprise if a number (lot of??) their ministers turn out to be that way too!
Yes they are……and in each case they are above the law because they obey a higher law….the law of God….which is total bullshit…..
But it’s a lovely move for dodge ball, is it? Covers everything!
NASA has been developing a spray on material that makes ANYTHING impervious to water and muck of any kind and you can’t even see it – it’s based on the same micro technology that nature has given the lotus leaf… sounds a bit like the “higher power” thing, doesn’t it? Shit won’t stick no matter what! Jeez!!!
Whenever I have a conversation on religion I always think of a quote from John Stuart mills, “It is conceivable that religion may be morally useful without being intellectually sustainable”……..
In the mist of antiquity – maybe – but I’d question that too.
“Don’t blame God if you’re an asshole, blame yourself!” is my motto. It’s a real shitty thing to have to live by, but at least it’s honest! 😆
