Good Sunday morning to ye all. Have you ever wondered why the religiously addled are the way they are? Or how someone who has demonstrated intelligence can believe the mouldering sack of monkey-muffins that is religious belief? DarkMatter2525 opines on what makes the religious mind tick.
I appreciate all the fine work my atheist friends do, attempting to quell the various (religious) Ridiculous Claims that are out there. I admire their tenacity and willingness to dialogue with those so very deeply lost to reason and rationality.
Kudos, and cheers to you for the willingness to continue to fight for and engage in struggle against one of the many regressive forces facing our societies. :)
And this is also where we get the expression ‘the devil is in the details’ as our lord J also hates the fine print on coupons. :)
So I guess it is okay then? I mean, if a 2000 year old fairy tale condones the abuse of women it *must* be right.
Well consulting the various magical book teachings one has to conclude that the best deal for women is Satanism. :>
Some activism that I can get behind, thank the holy gh…I mean Fantabulosa Fairy. :)
The BBC reports:
“The service at the chapel of Westcott House in Cambridge was to commemorate LGBT history month.
The congregation was told the use of the lexicon was an attempt to “queer the liturgy of evening prayer”.
But officials said it had not been authorised and was at variance with the doctrine and teaching of the church.
[…]
An Old Testament reading from the Prophet Joel which says “rend your heart and not your garments, return to the Lord your God” was printed in Polari as “rend your thumping chest and not your frocks – and turn unto the Duchess your Gloria: for she is bona and merciful”.
Instead of the traditional “Glory be to the father, and to the son, and the Holy Spirit” the prayer offered was: “Fabeness be to the Auntie, and to the Homie Chavvie, and to the Fantabulosa Fairy”.
I believe the official church response was along the lines: “We are not amused.” :)
