So....according to the Cardinal, I'm not actually Human. Sweet.
Cardinal Cormack Murphy-O'Connor speaks with Roger Bolton on BBC Radio and explains why secularists aren't completely human. Wonder if that means I have superpowers. Sigh.
Wasn't even close....
The Pens destroyed the Washington Crapitals lat night 6 - 2.
It wasn't the most exciting game seven ever, but it sure was fun.
Crosby with two goals and an all around amazing performance.
We are another step closer to Lord Stanley's Cup.

Do yourself a favor and check out his movie blog.
Brilliant poster for those of us anticipating tonight's season ending episode of LOST.

Brain Washing ( Jesus Camp ''Highlights'' )
Just as chilling as the video of the poor young Muslim child repeating all the rules of the Qur'an.
Back atcha Al...
Apparantly Al Roker gave Steubenville a shout out during his weather forecast this morning.
I don't watch much in the way of television, but our local news website seemed excited enough about it to give it it's own link and video.

Sunday miracles fall short....
So the miracle of communion can turn wine into blood and crackers into flesh....but it can't wipe out that pesky Swine Flu! What a shock.

Can the Communion chalice transmit Swine flu?
Bess writes Swine flu worry is afflicting religious worship this weekend reports Pew Forum. Pastors are now grappling with liturgical health issues such as whether Communion chalices, used to offer wine to the congregation in general, may risk transmitting the virus. In Mexico, many Catholic Churches have closed and in Mexico City the faithful were advised recently to listen to Mass on the radio or watch it on television rather than risk catching the flu by attending church.
Now several bishops and faith leaders in the US are expressing similar concerns. The US Catholic Bishops are urging priests and ministers changed with distributing communion this Sunday to wash their hands with anti-bacterial solution beforehand. Pew Forum reports too on the “additional precautions” Catholic bishops in affected areas are advising. For example, the bishop of Austin, Texas home to 26 Swine flu cases to date has urged his priests not to offer Communion wine at Mass until “more is known” about the virus.
Bishop Gregory Aymond believes that “having the public drink from the chalice is an unnecessary risk” and in addition wants holy water kept in stoups at the entry to diocesan churches to be emptied, and the stoups washed and disinfected before being re-filled.

Double Shot of Religious Stupidity
During a seminar on domestic violence, a Saudi judge was quoted as saying that it's just fine for Saudi men to slap their wives around if the wife has spent too much money. Click Here.
And here in the good old USA, the mother of a 13 year old has refused to allow her son to get chemotherapy for his cancer. Doctors say that without the chemotherapy he will die. The mother says that Jesus will make him better. I know which one my money would be on. Click Here.
Slappin' women and slowly killing children. Fine way to start the week. Happy Monday!

Pat Robertson - religious bigot
When asked about the five states that have now decided to let people have equal rights under the law by legalizing same sex marriage, the religious hate spewing bigot Pat Robertson never fails to make a giant fuckhead out of himself....
"You got polygamy out there. How can we rule that polygamy is illegal when you say that homosexual marriage is legal. What is it about polygamy that's different? Well, polygamy was outlawed because it was considered immoral according to biblical standards. But if we take biblical standards away in homosexuality, what about the other?
"And what about bestiality and ultimately what about child molestation and pedophilia? How can we criminalize these things and at the same time have constitutional amendments allowing same-sex marriage among homosexuals. You mark my words, this is just the beginning in a long downward slide in relation to all the things that we consider to be abhorrent."
Asshole.
Point 1 - Polygamy has as much to do with legalizing same sex marriage as it does with heterosexual marriage. That is, nothing at all. Marriage is a legal government sanctioned institution between two people. A large component of this is health insurance through employers. There is no movement to legalize polygamy, and there most likely never will be. Corporate America is certainly not going to be interested in the ramifications of legalizing polygamy.
Point 2 - What Bible is Pat reading? The Bible I've read has NO PROBLEM at all with polygamy. It's actually the most common form of marriage in the bible and is consistently condoned by God.
Point 3 - Bringing up bestiality and child molestation is an argument about same sex marriage just shows how INSANELY stupid you are. Pat is a jackass.
Point 4 - Was giving women the right to vote "the beginning of a long downward slide"? How about civil rights and ending segregation? What downward slide did that start? And yes, the Bible was used to justify keeping those discriminatory practices in play as well.
Pat Robertson is a hateful, evil, egotistical maniac. And the saddest part is that he is a millionaire with legions of followers all too willing to open their pocketbooks to support his mission of lies and hatred.
