Religion Is Good

Post by e_dog » December 11th, 2007, 8:18 pm

Catholic that Is.
Anti-Torture Protesters in Arizona Jailed Without Bail
In Arizona, a Catholic priest and a retired Catholic lay leader have been jailed without bail for taking part in a non-violent protest against U.S. torture practices outside Fort Huachuca, home of the U.S. Army Intelligence Center and School. A judge ordered Father Jerry Zawada and Betsy Lamb to remain in jail because they had failed to heed orders in other cases. In October, two other Catholic priests, Steve Kelly and Louie Vitale, were sentenced to five months in prison for taking part in another anti-torture protest at Fort Huachuca.
I don't think 'Therefore, I am.' Therefore, I am.

Catholics are people too!

Imagine this excerpt:
In Arizona, some long-haired hippie freak and friends have been jailed without bail for taking part in a non-violent protest against U.S. torture practices....

yeah look at the massive slums of Central and South America: gracias, catolicos. Or the mobs who flock to supposed sightings of Holy Maria in a parking lot or bullring. Yay.

There may be some well-intentioned catholics: that doesn't excuse centuries of superstition, folly, and theocracy (or other problems ---such as the priest sex scandal.)

My dad's side, all Catholics.
My mom's side, Swedenborgians.
Me?
A mixture of both influences arise spontaneously within me due to wiring installed before my own reason kicked in.

I find them both to be imaginative prospects, but both lean way too far into chavinism for anybody with half a brain to really go for.
I mean really. Let's be honest here.
Does a genderless just, religious theory exist?

One of the better theological rock sons of recent times.

Can anyone identify the face of the hellhound in the middle of the track near the cool ass Risk game segment?
