Muslim dentist ‘refused to treat woman unless she wore headscarf’
Posted by admin in religious nuttery on May 12th, 2009
Riding on the back of the #theBNParetwats Twitter meme, we get this.
OK, so it’s in the Torygraph, so not that far removed from our racist, homophobic institution, that Daily Mail so kinda quite expected but still. It’s shit like this that brings out the latent BNP in anyone.
Can I just say: “who the fuck do you think you are?” Do you really think you’re doing us all a favour by stocking a headscarf in your little torture chamber? You’ve been spanked by your licensing authority once already for being a petty minded little religious stooge, by this stage I trust you’re gong to get struck off and sent back to the Halal butchers you belong in. You are living, working, paying taxes and servicing clients in a liberal democracy, such as it is. Live with it or go somewhere more in line with your level of cretinousness.
Or maybe Halal dentistry? Would that work?
Texas Charging Rape Victims For Rape Kits
Posted by admin in religious nuttery, weird yanks on May 11th, 2009
In a very unsurprising turn of events, especially in the light of the relatively enlightened LA having problems funding rape testing, it appears that Texas is charging rape victims up to $1800 for gathering evidence against their attackers.
When your head has stopped spinning and vomiting what looks very much like pea soup, consider that this the the same state where by a vote of 11-2, the door is wide open for religious anti-knowledge wingnuts to explain to children that the world is only 6000 years old.
Am I becoming an old fart? I remember doing physics (Doc Williams, bless ‘im, always good for an astronomy red herring) at school and having Geiger counters and shit and watching radioactive decay in progress, and from that extrapolating some very big numbers for the age of stuff. It’s these peoples ignorance of basic, high school science that leads so such belief in sky fairies.
Gah.
The American fundies and gays
Posted by admin in religious nuttery on May 4th, 2009
In the old days, it was all pretty clear. Anyone who had leanings towards pederasty or homosexuality became a priest and thereafter what went on under the robe stayed under the robe. It’s not like they were going to breed and propagate the queer species gentically.
These days it’s all a lot more complicated. The fire and brimstone lot in the States have it in for those with an eye for fashion and interior design.
This just makes my head explode. I can’t even begin to analyse the twisted, broken logic contained therein.
What jumps up out at me though is maybe these people should just stop interfering in other people’s lives? No-one has elected them to any kind of political authority, indeed those they had in power just had their asses kicked in the elections.
Anyhow, what I’m leading up to with all this incredulity is the awesomeness of their belief that arse-banditry can be cured.
Riiiight. I’m still boggling. But the lovely thing is that the perpetrators of this are also now caught up in their own stupidity. Such is the man’s weakness he continues in the lie rather than breaking out and saying: “actually, I quite like Judy Garland, you people just have your heads up your asses”.
What a munchkin.
Creationist nuttery
Posted by admin in religious nuttery on May 4th, 2009
One of my litmus tests for cockbucketworthiness (great word) is that it’s localised. Anything that isn’t particularly global is the sure sign that it’s made up and by definition, bonkers. Good examples of this are the MMR crap in the UK and fundamentalist delusions in the US like creationism or better still “The Rapture”. What kind of awesome made up bollocks is that?
The beauty of creationism is that it layers a layer of denial, six days vs. a few billion years, over a wider delusion, that stuff was consciously made rather than just happened.
So now, courtesy of the awesomely curmudgeonly-in-a-good-way PZ Meyers we have a teacher in the US being legally castigated for describing creationism as “religious, superstitious nonsense”. Well good for the teacher. But alas, the law defends the rights of the deluded over and above what I always understood as the sacrosanct freedom of speech.
Screw you hippy. Creationism, indeed all religion is superstitious nonesense and the judge in this case is well deserving of being nominated as a bucket of cock.
Melanie Phillips – two wrongs are still wrong.
Posted by admin in religious nuttery on May 1st, 2009
Melanie Phillips in the Spectator misses the point spectacularly in this piece. If comparing two idiocies is meant to give credence to at least one of them then she’s failed.
Bucket rating 4/5.
