Question For Born Again Christians

How come Hobby Lobby, a self identified "Christian" company, is dealing in stolen art and artifacts? Why are they conducting business with known terrorists, and buying goods from them? Did Jesus tell Christians that it is alright to grab up the treasures of war torn countries, such as Iraq and Syria, and grab items that belong in national museums, for everyone to see? And why do Christians think that it is okay to financially assist terrorists in any way? 

At least Jesus and Friends got sanctioned for it.

Catholics Told To Vote For Racism

A Catholic church in San Diego, California is threatening its loyal members with an eternity in the underworld if they vote Democrat. Inside the foyer of the Immaculate Conception Catholic Church, some leaflets stating that Hillary Clinton is "under the influence of Satan" were found. While this is ripe fodder for comedy, it is also a pathetic attempt to scare innocent people and influence an election. So much for the quote of Jesus, himself, saying, "Render unto Caesar that which is Caesar's, and unto God, that which is God's." (Mark 12:17) The fictional deity is in obvious opposition to dictatorship and fear tactics. Maybe these Christians and their leadership should listen to him.

Jesus Appears In Kansas Tree

So now we know where Jesus actually lives. He lives in a tree, outside of Our Lady of Guadalupe Church, in Topeka, Kansas. No kidding, that's what some folks actually think. They think it to the extent that they called the local news station to report this phenomenon, and the local news station actually reported it! Of course, it is quite obvious that the excitable Christians in Kansas have it all wrong, here. That is not Jesus Christ in the tree; the face in the tree is clearly that of Jim Morrison of the Doors!

In Case You Weren't In Church This Sunday

In Case You Missed Church This Sunday

Here's the Easter Bunny! Happy Easter!

I Suppose It's Good Friday

I Suppose It's Palm Sunday

I know everyone has already seen this on Facebook, and I'm sure Jesus is very proud of those of you who go to church. Have some of you christian clergy supporters considered alternatively calling this "holy day" Rosy Palm Sunday, in commemoration of the body part priests should be exercising, along with common sense and decency, instead of abusing children?

Minnesota Minister No Longer On The Lam

Almost a year ago, John Walsh featured a story on The Hunt about a christian minister in Minnesota who had inappropriate sexual relationships with underage females in his church. Is this becoming a familiar scenario with christianity? Or at least, christianity in the Midwest? During the 1990's, a creep named Victor Barnard started a church in Minnesota so that he could entice the young, female daughters of his parishioners to move in with him, in a camp-like compound he built, while holding them hostage. He got the permission of their parents to keep them there, so the teenage girls had no say. Wow......gotta hate christianity sometimes! How could parents allow this? Barnard isn't really unique, either; Catholic parents have been ignoring their childrens' claims of clerical abuse for centuries.

Minnesota decided to find out what the rumors and claims of abuse surrounding Reverend Barnard were all about in 2012, but the good reverend moved his pimping operation to the state of Washington. At that point, it became national affair, rather than merely limited to Minnesota, so the FBI got involved. When enablers of the reverend "annunciated" to him that authorities were still hot on his trail, he picked up and moved to Brazil. It appears that his happened last year, but the story is still unfolding. Interpol got involved, and he was caught in Rio Grande last week, with a Brazilian enabler.

What is it, about Jesus, that makes his legend and persona so convenient for sex offenders and child abusers? And why don't they carry on their abuse with people their own ages, in a safe, sane, and consensual manner? What is it, about these clerical authority figures, that drives them to seek out relationships and isolated encounters with victims, rather than finding willing partners? Is it more holy, according to christian doctrines, to defile one's self with an unwilling child, and either ruin the child's life or kill the child, than it is to just admit that one is a pervert and find an equally corrupt adult? And what's with these parents who allow this crap, and don't put a stop to it when they discover it? Why would anyone cover for these people? Don't they love their children? One might accuse Barnard of starting a cult, but is this story unique to his operation? John Walsh covered it, and the media also made Barnard famous, but there have been so many reports lately involving clergy gone wild that we can no longer ignore the fact that Judeo-Christian religions somehow attract and propagate filth.

How can parents of clerically abused children continue to send them to church? When does enough become enough? Are social connections to abusers that important to these dumbass parents? Are the courts really deaf to the complaints of victims, particularly when voiced in unison? And even if the courts don't care, is it really that hard for an individual parent to look at the socially approved crime objectively and keep children away from it?

Jesus Lives In A Trailer

Lessons in Christianity offered in a trailer that is parked on school property, but not part of the school. Not sanctioned, manned by trusted, trustworthy personnel, and not even insured....yep. Sounds like fundamentalist Christians are at it again.

Luckily, this Michigan trailer was forced elsewhere, and the trailer trash told to take Jesus and the bible with them. Religious training and the resulting peer pressure in public school is a violation of federal law, and the Michigan Association of Civil Rights Activists took up the fight against the public school to remove the eyesore and the bibles from school property. Something that didn't happen, but probably should have happened, involves confiscation of any computers in the trailer. Since the bible thumpers were clearly committing a federal crime, perhaps the FBI should have obtained a warrant to take possession of any computers inside the trailer. There may have been another reason, entirely, for these christians to push their religion at school. A trailer, on school property, but not a part of the school in any way....sounds like an opportunity for christian kiddie porn creation.

The school in question wants to keep this illegal operation.

In Case You Skipped Church On Sunday

When my oldest child was in kindergarten, she enraged the parents of all of her classmates by telling them that Santa Claus does not actually exist. When she was a senior in high school, she enraged all the less intelligent parents of her classmates by letting them know that Jesus is fantasy, too.

In Case You Slept Through Church This Sunday

In case you slept through church this Sunday, perhaps these questions can wake you up!

In Case You Slept Through Church This Sunday

If you slept through church on Sunday, you probably were not in Vatican City, where a topless woman recently kidnapped Baby Jesus from the manger at the nativity and got hauled away by a cop. The cop did not shoot her, by the way. 

How come no one ever gets naked and steals Baby Jesus out of a manger when I'm around? I could use the entertainment!

Christmas In Frankfort, Kansas

Once in royal david's city stood a lonely cattle shed,
Where a mother held her baby.
You'd do well to remember the things he later said.
When youre stuffing yourselves at the christmas parties,
You'll just laugh when I tell you to take a running jump.
You're missing the point I'm sure does not need making
That christmas spirit is not what you drink.

So how can you laugh when your own mothers hungry,
And how can you smile when the reasons for smiling are wrong?
And if I just messed up your thoughtless pleasures,
Remember, if you wish, this is just a christmas song.

(Hey! Santa! Pass us that bottle, will you? )
