So far, this month in religion:
A coalition between the LDS and Roman Catholic church succeeds in denying civil rights to a minority group.
A 13 year-old girl who had been raped by four men was stoned to death for adultery under Sharia law (link).
Hundreds of children accused by clergy of witchcraft are tortured and murdered (link).

Did I miss anything?

1. The Rise of the AntiChrist
The Rise of the AntiChrist

Proving the Reich-Wingnut whisper campaign about the evil that is known by mortals as b. HUSSSEIN Obama, one day after Obama won the election, the Illinois Pick 3 Lottery comes up 666.
And so it begins....

2. But an atheist from MN was disrespectful of their sacred cracker.
and that cancels it all out.

3. In all fairness however, all he did was drive a rusty nail through it and toss it in the garbage.
You'd think that Jesus would be grateful for not being chewed up, digested, then shat into a toilet or pair of nice pants for a change.

4. We cannot coexist with this kind of evil.
People capable of torturing and murdering children because their invisible friend told them to do it need to be hunted down and killed.

5. Hence the irony of the 'Coexist' campaign...


The idea that people just need to be open and accepting of everyone else's beliefs is a farce. Religious moderates encourage fanaticism by promoting the idea that religion is a protected class when it comes to debate. By making it wrong to challenge someone's religious beliefs, we are required to leave alone the disgusting beliefs that permit these kinds of despicable actions and try to place the blame elsewhere.

The 13 year-old rape victim executed for adultery wasn't executed because of religion, it was because of deep rooted sexism that must have a non-religious origin and is in no way encouraged by the dominant religion in the region.

The Nigerian bishop who pours pure alcohol into the eyes of a boy who was accused of witchcraft certainly wasn't doing so because of his religion; he did so because of some other reason.
