Terry The Terrible
One newspaper in Pakistan described the US religious idiots as ‘devil pastors’ who were guilty of blasphemy. It didn’t say much about the morons in Afghanistan being guilty of murder. All a bit daft to us on the outside of religion looking in at people promoting their invisible men and waving their holy books at each other. And all of them eager to burn and behead.
Jones was threatening the same type of action last year. Among the objectives then was the halting of things that got up his nose: ‘stop to Islam, stop to Islamic law, stop to brutality.’ Never seemed to figure with him that this could include water boarding. But as is the case with the one eyed men who lead religious groups there is always some excuse for being blind to certain truths.
After a roasting from US officialdom and a bit of to-ing and fro-ing between his ministry and god’s office Jones cancelled his torching spectacle. God, apparently had a change of heart, while officialdom, through the Peter King anti-Muslim witch hunt, has created an atmosphere in which book burning seemed an ok thing to do providing the books are those Muslims cherish. Jones after ‘trying to give the Muslim world an opportunity to defend their book’ and receiving no reply finally lost patience and decided to torch the same book. That sort of leaves his book of myths in poll position, in Gainsville anyway, where it will be considered truer than Islam’s book. The Koran has been purged through purifying fire. All conducted by true Christian gentlemen. Praise the Christian lord for that and All Power to the Zealots.
Now it seems that last year’s warnings from Gen. David Petraeus, the top U.S. commander in Afghanistan, that Jones could end up pouring gasoline on more than the Koran, has lift off. Jones can hardly hide behind the excuse that he had not been warned. But this should not mean that the religious crazies who hacked their way through UN staff in Afghanistan should be able to absolve themselves of responsibility for their own actions by blaming their fellow religious crazy, Jones. The demented pastor has a point when he protests that ‘we are not responsible for their actions.’ But it also means Islam cannot be deemed responsible for his.
But Jones didn’t just rush in. We have to give him that. A moron no doubt but a fair one as demonstrated by his holding true to US principles of justice and insising on a jury trial. On the last Sunday in March the good pastor put the Koran on trial in his church. The public were able to attend but only about 30 turned up. The defendant was found ‘guilty of crimes against humanity’ and duly ‘executed’ by the pastoral executioner, Wayne Sapp under the watchful eye of Pastor Jones. The execution, at ten minutes, lasted longer than the deliberation of the jury which took up a mere eight.
One woman who attended the trial of the Koran said of Muslims ‘these people, for me, are like monsters … I hate these people.’ Don’t be surprised if she turns up as a star witness at the Peter King hearings.
Seriously enjoyed that!
ReplyDeleteThe UN to me though is as 'genuinely' neutral in world events as SF are 'genuinely' fighting the nationalist corner.
Any UN official in countries being attacked by the USA is not a neutral. Fuk em.
The crusades continue!
CURSE OF GOD ON THE QUEEN OF ENGLAND"S VISIT TO IRELAND - http://bit.ly/IrishCurse
ReplyDeleteAnthony thank f##k and the good fairy at the bottom of my garden ,or in your case the flying spaghetti monster that we are free from relious constraints,had we still been under the christian shackle we may as we speak be doning our white mantle with the big red cross and heading for the crusades to bring christs teaching to those hordes of heathens,of course we,d have to slaughter all around us but gods will be done,! good post mo cara isnt life fucking great without any of those wee voices in yer head!
ReplyDeleteMarty,
ReplyDeleteat least our invisible men aren't urging us to kill people because they have a different invisible man to worship. And when their invisible man wants them to kill us and our invisible man wants us to kill them, it is a recipe for human sacrifice. Thank the FSM we are well away from the lot of it.
Marty,
ReplyDeletehave a look at this. Shows you the difference between real people and these cranks

Try as I might Anthony I cant get that site ,might be god getting his own back the vengeful f##ker.
ReplyDeleteMarty,
ReplyDeletestrange. It is on Youtube. George Carlin was a very funny man who ridiculed idiots like Pastor Phelps.
Oh by the way mo cara I think Terry should be known as Terry the Terrific,after all he is only living his life as his bible tells him,which my friend proves just how dangerous religion really is.Hallelujah and pass out the ammo!
ReplyDeleteGot it Anthony Religion is bullshit absolutely brill,never heard the man before ,sides are splitting and what makes him even funnier is that its all true,going to the hospital now ,but when I get home I,m going to watch his Ten commandments broken down one by one something to look foward to,thanks mo cara for that, it really has made my day,
ReplyDeleteMarty,
ReplyDeleteis your wife still in? That is a long stay. Hope she improves rapidly.
George Carlin is absolutely brilliant. My wife put me onto him. He is a great social commentator as well as a comedian. I wrote an obituary on the Quill when he died and it is linked to one of his takes on religion.
Anthony,
ReplyDelete"And all of them eager to burn and behead."
I think all religion is lunacy, but I must concede that Muslims are more likely than Christians to behead me for saying that. The Catholic church tried to control our lives in Ireland, but it's been centuries since they were willing to kill heretics like you, me and Marty. I'm not saying Christians are perfect or even especially tolerant, but I think I might prefer living in Texas than in Saudi Arabia.
Alfie,
ReplyDeletegive any religion state power and it is dangerous. I think there is a discourse that plays down the religious motivations behind Bush invading Iraq. The ideology of some of the war mongers is heavily influenced by Christianity. The Christian right in America particularly in its Christian reconstructionist brand is equally as theocratic fascist as the Islamists.
I don't want to live in Saudi Arabia but I would want somewhere more tolerant than Texas.
Anthony,
ReplyDelete"And all of them eager to burn and behead."
Mao, Stalin and Hitler didn't do too bad, in spite of their rejection of religion.
Or maybe look at the situation in Mexico or Spain, when the anti-religious crowd take over.
Or go back to the French revolution, where thousands lost their heads for the glorious cause of the enlightened atheists.
John,
ReplyDeletevery true. Just shows that religion is no better and those who pretend otherwise are deceiving us.
As I said Anthony I never heard of him ,he was amazing sorry to hear he is no longer with us the word needs people like him so badly,will look up his work you can be sure of that, Marie is still in hospital she got an injection in her spine on Friday ,seems a lot easier tonight ,hopefully she,l get out tomorrow,I cant go on stealing clothes from lines I mean try going to visit someone in hospital wearing a bra and knickers that neither match or fit,
ReplyDeleteWatched George Carlin breaking down the ten commandments pure brill,and his piece on the tonight show was truely amazing,
ReplyDeletemarty,
ReplyDeletehappy to hear your wife will be coming home from hospital. It's been a long stay for her. Hope all is well.
Thoroughly enjoyed George Carlin. One of my most favorite comedians of all time. 9 out of 10 times he hit the nail on the head with his humor and satire. One of a kind.
Thanks for your kind thoughts Helen ,the wee girl has been in the wars ,she is home and on a zimmer frame, I,ve told her not to worry about the cleaning , she can leave it for a few days !..totaly blown away by George Carlin ,sad that such a talented man is no longer with us.
ReplyDeletemarty,
