Can someone tell me why it’s news that the Catholic church is still a bigoted institution? For example, a day or so after California declared that it was unconstitutional to ban homosexuals from legally marrying, it was considered “news” when Pope Ratface declared that the Catholic church still considers homosexuality to be icky.
As if the situation in Iraq wasn’t bad enough it appears that American marines are contributing to the problem by attempting to convert the Muslim residents of Fallujah to Christianity.
According to this report, unidentified Marines are said to have passed out evangelical coins at the gates of Fallujah while serving as guards.
One side of the coin asks “Where will you spend eternity?”. When you flip it over you’re told how “God so loved the world that he gave his only begotten son, that whosoever believes in him shall not perish, but have eternal life. John 3:16″.
This comes on the heals of another story about a sniper sing a Koran for target practice near Baghdad.
If this story turns out to be factual, I hope the marine(s) involved are severely punished because every time one of them does something like this they slander not just their fellow marines, but every American soldier in Iraq.
The fact of the matter is a lot of Muslims are convinced that America invaded Iraq for the purpose of converting them to Christianity. This kind of shit “proves” it and makes Muslims both fearful and/or suspicious of the American soldiers they encounter.

This argument annoys and angers me because 1) it’s fear-based and 2) democrats have been selling out women for years now. If there’s one [...]

Here’s a little gem of a story. A kindergarten teacher in Florida had one of her charges stand up in front of the class and then preceded to have his classmates vote him out of the class. This was after the boy was forced to listen to each of his classmates [...]
One of the things that’s baffled me this election season is how so many don’t seem to grasp the fact that Hillary Clinton did not break the rules by not removing her name from the ballots in Michigan and Florida.
Thankfully, Zuzu of Shakesville has put up a post explaining this and a few other things [...]
It is said that whoever renders service to many puts himself in line for greatness - great wealth, great return, great satisfaction, great reputation, and great joy. Our esteemed president is not on the path to greatness however.
In fact, he’s well on his way to being considered one of the most self-centred, arrogant and [...]

Nature never prompted a loving mother to throw her child into the Ganges. Nature never prompted men to exterminate each other for a difference of opinion concerning the baptism of infants. These crimes have been produced by religions filled with all that is illogical, cruel and hideous. — Robert G. Ingersoll
