“God hates Lady Gaga” claims Fred Phelps. “I hate Fred Phelps” claims everyone else.

Good ol’ Fred Phelps is at it again!

He and his Westboro Baptist “church” members have set their sights on the pop/performance artist Lady Gaga claiming she is some kind of evil, senseless whore who was sent forth to turn our younger generation’s hearts and minds away from God and toward her glittery peash.   All I can say is, wow.

Phelps’ church is currently in the midst of a campaign against Lady Gaga stating in a recent press statement their intentions to picket Lady Gaga’s next performance in St. Louis, MO on January 7.

“Thou hadst a whore’s forehead, thou refusedst to be ashamed…Will He reserve HIs anger forever? Will he keep it to the end? Behold, thou hast spoken and done evil things as thou couldest.” Jer 3:3,5

“Art” and “fashion” are the euphemisms, the guise under which proud whore Lady Gaga teaches rebellion against God (incidentally, her claim to the title of “lady” is sound only if she tacks on “of the night,” thereby alluding to another euphemism of what she is.) As much as she’d like to pretend otherwise, there’s nothing new or different about this particular hussy’s pretentious prancing. Does the simple slut truly think that she can change God’s standards by seducing a generation of rebels into joining her in fist-raised, stiff-necked, hard-hearted rebellion against Him? Get real!

Even as she gives lip-service to “liberating” her young fans, Lady Gaga brings them into slavery to their own corruption, teaching them to glory in their shame. She hates you! “For when they speak great swelling words of vanity, they allure through the lusts of the flesh, through much wantonness…While they promise them liberty, they themselves are the servants of corruption!” 2 Pet. 2:18-19

YOU’RE GOING TO HELL.

My God knows how to lay the pipe.

 

Well it looks like an Australian church is in hot water for creating and advertising an image that, some say, is offensive to the idea of God and Christianity. The image (above obviously) depicts Joseph in bed with Mary with the words “God was a hard act to follow” placed above it. Joseph looks dejected, which may or may not have anything to do with the fact that the person he is sleeping with is a woman, while Mary looks like she is wondering if she had left the gas on. I would assume she did.

I take offense to this ad for simple reasons of factual dishonesty. I was always told that God had a little dick, so obviously his sexual prowess is in question.

The image was supposedly created to spark a discussion about the creation of Jesus and to force people to consider the real meaning and history behind Christmas. Now, I am not a religion man in the slightest, but I would think there would be several choices above this that may serve their purposes more appropriately. Perhaps maybe an image of Baby Jesus getting his DNA tested, with the words “Real men stick around”, plastered above his head. Or even just a big question mark with the words, “Why the hell would you want to be a Christian” in bright bold letters?

I digress.

The ad is apparently causing a discussion, but it’s not the nature that the church had intended. The local radios have been inundated with callers, furious about the images while other Christians are calling it sexist. One man, who claims to hail from a “liberal” church, says that the image makes it seem that God is a male and his church strongly objects to that idea.

“How dare you make assumptions about my made up religion! My God’s vagina is going to be furious!”

In other words, they have no problem accepting the idea of a virgin birth or a Jewish carpenter, but the sexual bits of God are still up for debate. Awkward…

Catholic Child Abuse: Decades of Disease

According to a recent report, authorized by the government of Ireland, the Catholic  Church in Dublin has been covering up the crimes of its priests for decades. Child abuse, rape and molestation have all been committed under the watchful eye of the church and its figure heads. Individuals who felt they could control the systemic problem by dealing with it in their own way, fully acknowledging they had broken both civil and canon law.

Dublin Archbishop Diarmuid Martin, who handed over more than 60,000 previously secret church files to the three-year investigation, said he felt deep shame and sorrow for how previous archbishops presided over endemic child abuse – yet claimed afterward not to understand the gravity of their sins.

The church has a widely accepted stance against homosexuality and abortion, which they consider to be immoral acts, much more dangerous than “average” sin. (Even though the Bible clearly states no sin is greater than another.) Then again, I suppose you would have to read the whole thing to really grasp that concept and let’s be honest, the Bible is boring as hell.

The report included 46 priests who had a total of 320 complaints documented against them, with one priest admitting he molested over 100 children, while police have a feeling it was much more. Another case involved a priest who had admitted he molested a child every two weeks for nearly 25 years. Several of these priests were convicted of their crimes, albeit decades after they had been accused and 14 of them passed away before ever being held accountable. Astonishingly, 6 of them are currently still active priests. However, I think we can all agree that child abuse is acceptable, as long as we stop gay marriage.

Three Dublin archbishops – John Charles McQuaid (1940-72), Dermot Ryan (1972-84) and Kevin McNamara (1985-87) – did not tell police about clerical abuse cases, instead opting to avoid public scandals by shuttling offenders from parish to parish and even overseas to U.S. churches, the commission found.

It was not until 1995 that then-Archbishop Connell allowed police to see church files on 17 clerical abuse cases. At that time, Connell actually held records of complaints against at least 29 priests, the report found. Connell later pursued a lawsuit against the investigators in an abandoned bid to keep them from seeing more than 5,500 files documenting the church’s knowledge of abusive priests.

The report said all four archbishops sought “the maintenance of secrecy, the avoidance of scandal, the protection of the reputation of the church, and the preservation of its assets. All other considerations, including the welfare of children and justice for victims, were subordinated to these priorities.”

The investigators lauded a handful of priests and mostly low-ranking police who pursued complaints and prosecutions, almost always unsuccessfully, from the 1960s to the 1980s.

Senior police officers “clearly regarded priests as being outside their remit” and handed “complaints to the archdiocese instead of investigating them,” the report said.

The best part of all of this hypocrisy is that I just recieved this is in my email from the Catholic News Agency

I guess Jesus was a hypocrite and God is a child molester.

Best Buy honors Muslim “Sacrifice” holiday with cheap TVs. Conservatives flip out!

In a move to capitalize on appearing inclusive and open minded, Best Buy’s latest Black Friday ad includes a nod to the Muslim holiday Eid-Al-Adha which falls on Friday.

For those of you like me who know nothing of the holiday, Eid al-Adha, also known as the “Festival of Sacrifice” or “Greater Eid”, is a holiday celebrated by Muslims worldwide to commemorate the willingness of Ibrahim to sacrifice his son Ismael as an act of obedience to God.

Eid al-Adha is the latter of two Eid festivals celebrated by Muslims, whose basis comes from the Quran. ^[1] Like Eid al-Fitr, Eid al-Adha begins with a short prayer followed by a sermon (khuṭba).

Eid al-Adha annually falls on the 10th day of the month of Dhul Hijja of the lunar Islamic calendar. The festivities last for three days or more depending on the country. Eid al-Adha occurs the day after the pilgrims conducting Hajj, the annual pilgrimage to Mecca in Saudi Arabia by Muslims worldwide, descend from Mount Arafat. It happens to be approximately 70 days after the end of the month of Ramadan.

You can learn more about the Muslim holiday with all those little links and goodies here.

Best Buy however is seeing some back lash from many consumers who have stated their displeasure with Best Buy for it’s move as well as it’s recently announced decision to no longer use “Merry Christmas” in its flyers.

Conservative watchdog/witch hunt groups such as the American Family Association set their sights on Best Buy back in 2006 after the retailer said it would replace “Merry Christmas” with “Happy Holidays” in its ads.  Despite it’s obvious despicable and un-American behavior, Best Buy claims they haven’t abandoned Patriotic Jesus completely.  “Merry Christmas” can still be found on store gift cards and online.  The AFA has not commented on the latest ad as of yet.

Recently, the AFA called for a boycott of GAP, Inc. for not using Christianity’s favorite word, “Christmas”, in their holiday sales advertisements.  No official statement was made by GAP Inc. in response to the stupidity of AFA’s boycott however days later this “paganistic” commercial, which includes cheerfully choreography references to Hanukkah, Kwanzaa and Solstice as well as Christmas, was released.

You can just feel the seething hated toward Christianity and everything that is good and decent in this world.

I don’t know about you folks, but it just makes me sick.  I will never buy a Half-Zip Cable-Knit sweater or Performance Fleece Hoodie from those Satanists again!

Praise White Jesus!

Watch: Sarah Palin supporters prove why they are Sarah Palin supporters.

Wow…. I am at a loss for words…. seriously.

I just don’t know how someone, let alone so many, could be so ignorant of the world around them. I believe there are too many gems in this video to use one or two that would actively portray the terrifying stupidity of these people. Watching this video is like watching a newsman report on mass hysteria at a special education school.  These people have no right to call themselves Americans and I don’t care how horrible this may sound, but we need to implement laws that dictate an extensive amount of education be reached before one is allowed to vote, or even possibly reproduce.

Stupid people are everywhere and there are plenty of unintelligent nobs that voted for Obama, yet grasp the same educational level of these Wal Mart mouth breathers. The only difference?

Obama doesn’t mirror the lesser of his base, Sarah Palin does.

After watching this video I wonder if a Socialist, Marxist,Leninist is the same thing as an obese, Caucasian, skinny, black guy.

I hope that Palin runs, effectively drawing even more of the Republican base away from whatever old white guy they throw up there.

“When you are right, you don’t have to compromise.” I think this sums up the arrogance of our lazy nation quite nicely.

Lets all do the Christian Side Hug!

I am hoping this a joke, as I can not find anything that offers information about this group. I have no idea. It would seem that if this is not a joke, Christians have found another way to be socially awkward and even less relevant in the cool department. I am hoping this is real, not because of any personal  feelings towards religion, but because this would be an entire week of awesomeness!

Don’t do that front hug, yo it’s awkward! Pull up on that Christian Side Hug lest your crotches touch!

The only reason I think this could be real is because I have been to churches where this kind of nonsense was peddled. In a sad and misguided attempt to look “cool” there is no end to the stupidity at which old white people will go.

Bakersfield has the cure for gays and it rhymes with schmull-shit.

Let me preface this article by saying I, in no way, intend to portray both sides of this argument with a neutral eye. I believe it does a great disservice to truth when we attempt to be objective about every subject. There is no more journalistic integrity in portraying the “positives” of reparative therapy than there is in being neutral on the subject of  segregation.

A recent news piece from KGET channel 17 delves into the myths about “reparative therapy“, that is, the idea that homosexuality can be cured through faith and any other number of unproven and potentially dangerous methods. The idea of repairing or changing someones sexuality may seem as comical as praying for lighter skin or changing ones ethnicity,  however,  in the world of abject stupidity, there are few fields that are not staffed with an army of professional extremists.

Phillip Lee, of His Way Out ministries will tell you, that not only is changing ones sexuality possible, but that he is living proof of it.

“I spent 17 years in what many refer to as the gay lifestyle,” Lee said. “I found out, like so many others, that to call homosexuality gay is a contradiction.”

No more of a contradiction than claiming faith is fact though, or so it would seem. I am sure I am just splitting hairs at this point… right.

Phillip runs his service out of a downtown Bakersfield office and claims to be working with 100 individuals dealing with identity issues and “sexual brokenness”, which isn’t an actual clinical term anymore than Taco Bell could be considered fine Mexican food. A quick search engine query will pull up several sites that link the creation and use of the term with churches and Christian ministry groups. The message here is pretty simple.

“When reality lets you down, make shit up.”

The problem with this type of activity is that these individuals are often dragged into these situations against their will, by poorly educated and ill informed parents. These “conversion therapy” procedures often do irreparable harm to their patients, causing immense self doubt, self hatred and shame. The process is so dangerous and controversial that the American Psychological Association has gone on record to oppose and discourage it, adding that no evidence has shown any such thing is possible, but plenty exists to demonstrate the harm it causes the patient.

Scientifically, there’s not enough evidence to measure the counseling effectiveness, said CSUB counseling psychology professor Kathleen Ritter, who says sexual orientation is a complex topic.

“The longest time that any population was followed in any study is six months so we don’t know if that initial ‘Oh I changed’ held.”

Ritter helped review the American Psychological Association’s guidelines http://www.apa.org/pi/lgbc/guidelines on sexual orientation and efforts to change it.

Through the guideline, the APA resolved homosexuality is not a mental disorder and mental health professionals should avoid telling clients they can change their sexual orientation through therapy or other treatments.

Ritter doesn’t suggest conversion therapy for her patients in her private practice, but says it would be unethical to persuade someone from using of it.

“We don’t want to look like we have the religious people on one end and psychologists on the other and that we’re fighting each other. Because that’s not true.” Ritter said.

I will take Kathleen Ritter’s last statement and expand upon it a little more. While this may not be about religion versus psychology, it has everything to do with reason and logic versus blind intolerance and ignorance. There is little point in arguing against that, but it still warrants being said.

Later on in the segment, Whitney Weddel, chair of the Bakersfield LGBTQ organization was introduced and offered another counter argument to the junk science that was being peddled.

Whitney goes on to say…

“For years in schools, people were forced to not be left handed. We know now these are wonderfully diverse ways of being normal,” said activist Whitney Weddell. “The 100 kids that come in with their parents, I wonder how many parents drag them in and are being forced to this therapy that is just a waste of time.”

There is currently a poll on the KGET website that asks its visitors to state whether they believe people can become “straight” through reparative therapy. The poll has gone up and down over the night, but there is still a dangerously high percentage of people who believe it’s possible. It is very unlikely that any of those people will be reading this, but in the off chance, let’s have a quick look at one of the many forms of this “healthy” and “loving” spiritual therapy.

If you can stand to watch the video long enough to get past her butchery of the English language, maybe you can answer me this. Is it wrong for me to find it so comical, that a people once bonded into slavery through the use of the Bible, are now using that same book to bond others?

If you visit, “His Way Out” ministries you will find a website that is in much need of a redesign and apparently money. The good lord seems to have the power to undo the mistakes he supposedly made, but lacks the ability to give his followers the money they need to continue. On closer inspection, there is plenty of false information on the website, as well as vague and conveniently shadow like speak about the actual process or outcome of these therapies. Outside of “working within the holy spirit of the lord”, there is little information on the actual process of turning one against their inner nature. It has long been believed that these therapies change no one, but are successful in shaming the individuals into denying their true identity.

It would seem to me that the Lord needs to worry less about homosexuals and more about those in need.

Might I suggest these people?

In the end, there is little to be said about this topic that is not already surrounding us. Discussing the pros and cons of these therapies is akin to weighing the downsides and upsides of being burned alive.  Sure, you may survive the process, but you will never be yourself again.

Social conservatives furious at Mormon church for not being hateful enough. The rest of us think they are doing just fine.

The good folks at America Forever have gone and faxed a bajillion faxes around the country, decrying the recent half assed attempt at acceptance from the Mormon Church. Whatever it is that the church was hoping to accomplish with their shenanigans, seems to be blowing up in their face. Progressive people don’t trust the church and see their announcement as a thinly veiled attempt to deflect criticism that is being lobbed their way, while conservatives are going on the attack, furious that the Mormon church “caved” into gay demands by agreeing they had the right to work without prejudiced.

Once again, I think it’s only fair to offer them the same courtesy and fire them for being poorly educated mouth breathers.

On November 10th ,the Salt Lake City City Council, passed an ordinance for the city of Salt Lake to extend protection for Gays, Lesbians, Transgender and Bisexuals from discrimination on employment and housing.   Although the church extended their support publically, since the gays have moved into Salt Lake City to elect officials to pass laws in their behalf, they already had all the votes they needed and did not need The LDS Church’s support to pass it.  It was all a trap to show that the church runs the state and to sway the citizens of the entire state in support of this same bill, and other bills in the Common Ground Initiative in the state legislature that promote homosexuality and attack marriage. Why did the church do this when we know where The LDS Church stands?  We all know that there must be a good reason for the church to be taking this political stand in support of this ordinance.  One could do some research and read The Salt Lake Tribune article on November 11th, to understand what went on.

The LDS Church gave its support to this ordinance under the ground of fairness, because politically, the church needed to protect the entity of the church.  It was necessary for the church to be carved out of having to hire and rent to gays, lesbians, transgenders, and bisexuals.  This act of joining and giving them public support allows them, The LDS Church and all other Religions, to discriminate against people with different sexual conduct because it is against what they believe to be moral.  However, businesses and citizens, even with the same religious beliefs do not have this right according to the new ordinance.  It means SEAGULL BOOKS, HERITAGE SCHOOLS AND EVERY CITIZEN WHO HAS THE SAME MORAL STANDARDS WILL BE FORCED TO NOT DISCRIMINATE.  Businesses who hire a man, and tomorrow he comes to work dressed up as a woman, cannot fire him.  An old lady who rents a basement to two young men, not knowing they are gay and later sees them in their backyard barbecuing with their gay friends kissing and she doesn’t want to be around that, she cannot tell them to move.  How many will be fired, and their employers do not even know that they are gay, and some may not even be, and yet they will say they are.
This is a bad ordinance; The LDS Church had to show its support, so that religion could be carved out.  However, this law is nothing but unfair to all other religious and non-religious citizens.   Furthermore, The LDS Church’s worse enemy of this century are the gays,  they have persecuted the church, and in recent events when the church arrested 2 gay men kissing in the Main Street Plaza, the church caved in to protect themselves and to stop the harassment and lawsuits from the gays who were arrested in the Main Street Plaza.

After looking at their site for a while, two things have come to my attention.

1. Their site is horribly designed and as ugly as the childrens music they produce. I sent them an email offering my services for a very fair and very homosexual price.

2. They have no idea what they are mad at, other than the typical social conservative nonsense. Blacks are everywhere, Gays are alive, God is not cool anymore. Blah blah blah.

It’s one thing to be this crazy and hateful as an adult, but they have dragged their kids into it as well. Take a moment and listen to this wonderful song and by wonderful I mean very poorly written and sung by tone deaf children and what sounds like a man giving birth through his urethra. Whoo!

If you have not had enough of them yet, check out this great video sang to the tune of that grandpa song from the Simpsons. Yeah, I could have figured out the name of the actual song, but I honestly don’t care, so you just calm the fuck down!

It really is a horribly offensive and ignorant bunch of nonsense and fear. We should have the right to gather up these people and send them to Iran, so they can live in a theocracy, or better yet. Let’s just eat them. Vegetarians can watch.
