A Tea Party U.S. Senate candidate stands accused of sex with a minor girl he met at church. Eric W. Deaton has some explaining to do.

the Ohio Constitution Party candidate for U.S. Senate who was indicted on Tuesday for unlawful sexual conduct with a minor -- met the victim at a church where he was an elder, a police official told TPMMuckraker.

Deaton claims its a political ploy. He can kiss away any hope of office. Wait, no, he never had hope.

I don’t make this stuff up.

Pastor Kevin Pushia pleaded guilty

Pastor Kevin Pushia helped kill a disabled man for his life insurance money. He faces life in prison for his roll in the murder.

Prosecutor Robin Wherley said Pushia confessed to taking out multiple life insurance policies in Wallace’s name, then paying a hit man $50,000 to kill him.

That money had come from the treasury of a small East Baltimore church where Pushia was a pastor.

What next? According to his defense attorney, Pushia made some poor choices, now he’s trying to face the future.

“His plea was an effort to purge himself, emotionally and spiritually.”

He’s lucky. Murder for hire can put you on death row. But who want to execute a pastor? I bet the DA is happy.

Westboro Baptists pepper sprayed

I’m surprised somebody has not tried this or worse before. Westboro Baptists pour acid in the open wounds of the grieving. It just a matter of time until they piss the wrong person off.

A 62-year-old man has been arrested after he allegedly tried to fire pepper spray at members of the radical Westboro Baptist Church as they protested the funeral of a U.S. Marine.

The incident took place at around 10 a.m. Saturday in Omaha, Neb., where some 20 followers of the extremist Kansas sect -- who believe the deaths of American soldiers are divine retribution for the country's tolerance of homosexuality -- were staging a demonstration a block away from the funeral of Staff Sgt. Michael Bock. The 26-year-old Marine was killed in combat in Afghanistan's Helmand Province on Aug. 13.

Deporting for a pastor

I’m a compassionate guy, or at least I try hard to be. The case of Baptist pastor Hector Villanueva pulls at my heartstrings. He’s lived in the US since he was 3, yet never became a citizen. He’s facing deportation back to Mexico because of a crime he committed 15-years ago. Christians are asking for that he be allowed to stay because he’s a Christian pastor who has changed his ways.

His children are American citizens. If he’s deported he will be separated from his family. I don’t want to see that happen. Yet there is a principle at stake here too. Villanueva is a convicted criminal. Other men facing similar circumstances are routinely deported. If I were in his shoes, as an Atheist I would have no change at staying. The truth is, one mistake can cost you your shot at citizenship. The fact that he came to Christ, became a pastor, and lead a good life are immaterial. It might be time for him to move his church to Mexico.

It’s a good think I’m not an immigration judge.

rodneySteward Baptist pastor Rodney Steward was arrested after e-mailing a video of his genitals to what he thought was  a 15-year-old girl.

According to Cuyahoga County Prosecutor Bill Mason's Office, Stewart was chatting online between June 2010 and August 2010 with what he thought was a 15-year-old girl and her mother, but in reality were Franklin County Sheriff’s deputies, who were working as part of the Internet Crimes Against Children Task Force (ICAC).

He was associated with Broadview Heights Baptist Church. He makes his living running his own ministry doing speaking engagements.

I love this bit of Christian revisionist history.

He preached several times last year at the Bethel Baptist Church in London, Ontario. Those sermons were removed from the church's website after the arrest. The current pastor was not available to comment.

Do you want to hire pastor Steward?

Odd Catholic news

I report on Catholic clergy sexual abuse. I can honestly say I’ve never see a story about one priest trying to frame another with child porn.  Now I have.

South Florida investigators are looking for a counselor and former Catholic priest who allegedly planted child pornography on the computer of another former priest.

Alfred Justin Boulerice faces charges of trespassing, tampering with evidence and making a false report to law enforcement.

Would you trust a priest simply because he’s a priest? I think they have lost the moral high ground, if they ever had it.

Review – Brand Steakhouse in LV

Published
by
Mojoey
on September 2, 2010
.
I dinned at Brand on Monday night. It’s a steakhouse in the Monte Carlo Hotel in Las Vegas. I will not bestow Mojoey’s foodgasm on this restaurant. It came close, but missed in a few key areas.

The ambiance is nice from the outside. It’s an open seating area which is furnished in a modern elegant style. The lighting is subdued, but that does not matter because one side is left open to the casino, so outside light pours in. We were seated along the outside edge in seats with a view of the action. What that really meant was the a 2.5 foot wall table level wall separated us from Casino foot traffic. It’s a great arrangement for people watching, but not so good for romantic dinning.

Did I mention it was loud? the casino has flat screen televisions above each gaming table. The broadcast noise, coupled with the noise from the craps tables, coupled with the comments from casino traffic and then music piped in over the top of it all, made for an wall of noise. At times I had trouble hearing the serving staff talk.


I spent $200 on dinner for two. That’s an appetizers, a main course, desert and a bottle of wine for two people. It’s what I expected to spend, but the value for food based on similar dinning experiences was weak. For example, the wine list was nice, but completely priced out of my range. I paid $35 for a bottle of 2007 “The Cab”. It was the lowest price option on the wine list, but I know it retails for $12. The average was $100 for something that retails at $25. I felt abused.

We both had shrimp cocktails ($13). The were four large prawns, but trimmed so they were straight instead of curved. The prawns were large and delicious. Based no similar dinning experiences I would say the dish was $2 too expensive or one prawn short.

I ordered the large cut of prime rib ($37). My cut was small and over priced. I would have felt comfortable with a $25 price. There was no $12 worth of extra goodness to be had. It was just over priced meat. It was cooked perfectly and tender. I enjoyed the meal. My wife had the short rib, which served with fired potatoes and delicious.

The sides are served extra and averaged $9. Our waiter gave use the typical Steakhouse spiel, the sides are big enough for two and mean to share. I took her at her word and ordered asparagus and corn. I figured that I’m 18 dollars in on side dishes, they better live up to their billing. What arrived was five trimmed asparagus stalks cut into ten 1.5 inch pieces. I figure it was short 10 pieces as a single serving and far short of something that could be shared.  The corn was buttery goodness, but no better in size. My guess is three or maybe four large table spoons worth. Both were good, but not sufficient to share, and totally over priced.
Desserts were outstanding and reasonably priced, but their selection was limited. My wife lived off hers for two days.

Were were celebrating a special occasion, it was our wedding anniversary. When we made reservations they were careful to ask about our reason for dinning at Brand. Our special event was never mentioned while we dinned. I overheard the staff congratulating another couple, so my guess is that the staff is inconstant with the application of this service. The restaurant also stresses a dress code. They are careful to tell you about it when you make a reservation. yet they were serving a man is shorts at one table and a dirty looking hustler at another.

Despite all this, my wife an I enjoyed our meal. This was due chiefly to the quality of the food. It was a good meal. Plus, the staff did not bother you while you are dinning. We enjoyed the privacy.

If you are looking for a romantic dinning experience, go to another restaurant. Las Vegas is full of options. If you are looking for good value, don’t bother eating at Brand. I felt ripped off. If you’ve got money to burn, by all means, enjoy.

Nutball Alert: Laurie Cardoza-Moore

Laurie Cardoza-Moore (PJTN) is a hater and a nutball. In fact, she may set the new standard for nutballs. Her words drip with hate. Watch the video and see if you can tell who it is she hates. It should not be hard.

She’s a Christian, can you tell? She hates Muslims, that much is clear. She’s from Tennessee. I wonder if that had anything to do with the arson attack mosque in her hometown?

Anderson Cooper asked the question. Laurie Cardoze-Moore choked on her incomprehensible logic. He words mark her as a racist who is  intolerant of the rights of our fellow America citizens to worship as they see fit. Her words are meant to incite. Her words are meant to stop Muslims from building any mosque, anywhere. She apposes Islam because she make the idiots calculation 911 =Muslims : Muslims = Terrorists. Where is Jesus in this? Where is love? Let’s just call it what it really is, hate.

Introducing This One Shall Be Called Women

Published

Mojoey
on September 2, 2010
.

Please join me in welcoming one of the newest member of the Atheist Blogroll, This One Shall Be Called Woman.

My name is Nullefide and I am a feminist agnostic-theist (moving slowly towards atheist).

I have started a blog entitled "This One Shall Be Called Woman," a critical view of women in the Bible. During this project I will read the Bible cover to cover and make note of any woman (or female animal) mentioned and the context/story in which she is mentioned. This project came about mostly because of my born again father (much to his dismay, I'm sure) because I got tired of hearing him tell me how the Bible wasn't sexist. I decided I would go ahead and read the Bible so then I would know specific details and evidence for why exactly the Bible is sexist and why I refuse to follow it. And I figured there would be many people out there who didn't have the time it takes to read through the Bible and write down every mention of a woman, but who would still like to know the specific details of women in the Bible, how they were treated and how the Bible can still affect many women's lives today. So my blog was born.

So if you have an interest in sexism in the Bible, women in the Bible, general Bible synopses or you just like seeing someone get super pissed over Biblical rape laws please read more and feel free to leave comments on any post, old or new. :)

The enemy never sleeps

Chuck Norris, a man who should have no fame, pushes the bible on our public schools because he thinks it will save our nation. Christians will never stop pushing. We must push back. We must fight teaching the bible in public schools, even as an elective. Don’t compromise on allowing entry of the Christian message, our default position should be no teaching the bible in public schools. Our fall back should be teaching about Christianity in a comparative religion course.

Did he ever really learn to act? He was a punching bag for Bruce Lee and for some reason kept his career alive on pseudo heroics and macho bullshit. Now he prostitutes himself for the cause. I have no respect for the man. Some of this has to do with a visit he paid to my grandfather’s gas station in Lynwood back in the late 60s. The name Chuck Norris has been associated with wrongdoing since I was a child, so yes, some of this is personal.

Pastor Brown heading to trail

The case against pastor Matthew Brown is heading to trial. He is accused of inappropriately touching a student and sending lewd messages on Facebook. His attorney plans to question the credibility of the witness.

Brown's attorney says he's not confident that the testimony of the 16 year old will hold up well in court because the girl couldn't pinpoint the exact date when the incidents occurred and adds that she was never alone with the minister for the incidents to have happened in the first place.

Of course, the jury will see the Facebook evidence too, which means I expect Brown will plead out. He has no way of explaining his lewd messages.

Defrocking but no charges

A priest who impregnated one of his students will face defrocking but no charges will be filled.

The Rev. Luis Bonilla Margarito is accused of fathering a child with a teenager who had been a student at the Catholic high school where he served as chaplain. Her parents had installed a video camera in their basement after they became suspicious of the relationship, and recorded the couple having sex.

The Berks County district attorney says a criminal investigation was closed after police determined the relationship began when the girl was 18.

Move along sheeple, Rev Margarito only fathered a child after his student was 18. There is nothing to see here. There is nothing wrong with a priest impregnating an 18-year-old. It happens everyday.

A story of clergy sexual abuse

Published

on September 2, 2010
.

A victim describes the aftermath of alleged abuse by a Catholic priest.

“I tried to work past it,” said the man, a father who works in law enforcement and as a young boy wanted to become a priest himself. “I just figured it was too late to do anything.”

He is one of two Humboldt County men who filed lawsuits last month accusing the Santa Rosa Diocese of fraud and negligence for hiring the Rev. Patrick Joseph McCabe and failing to disclose his sexual misconduct to parishioners in Eureka.

Rev. Patrick Joseph McCabe is accused of molesting two boys in St. Bernard Church in Eureka. McCabe was already a known pedophile priest when he was sent to Eureka.

An interesting take away from this article was the conviction of the victim to “take it to his grave.” His shame was so great that it took the public acknowledgement of McCabe as a known abuser before the victim could bring the allegations to light. How hard must it be for someone to bury this kind of pain for so long? How is this religion authentic? Where is Christ in all of this? The truth is, there is no God and therefore these acts are just the corrupt practices of men drunk on a power granted by mysticism. We give them power. We can take it away.

Reports of anti-Islamic activity are become disturbing. The recent arrest of a 17-year-old boy for disrupting an Islamic service is a further example.

Orleans County Sheriff Scott Hess says the same teens from nearby Holley shouted epithets and honked horns as they drove past the mosque Friday. That's when they say the 17-year-old fired a shotgun twice into the ground.

Have we moved from media attacks to bands of armed teenaged goons? This could get ugly. The mood feels reminiscent of a tea-party fueled pogrom. I’m actually worried about my Muslim friends.

Demands of James J. Lee

Published
by
Mojoey
on September 1, 2010
.
James J. Lee took hostages at the headquarters of the Discovery Channel. He claims to be an atheist on his MySpace profile. I think he is (or was) a nutball. He published a list of demands at his website, SaveThePlanetProtest.  I’ve republished it here:

The Demands of James J. Lee

The Discovery Channel MUST broadcast to the world their commitment to save the planet and to do the following IMMEDIATELY:

1. The Discovery Channel and it's affiliate channels MUST have daily television programs at prime time slots based on Daniel Quinn's "My Ishmael" pages 207-212 where solutions to save the planet would be done in the same way as the Industrial Revolution was done, by people building on each other's inventive ideas. Focus must be given on how people can live WITHOUT giving birth to more filthy human children since those new additions continue pollution and are pollution. A game show format contest would be in order. Perhaps also forums of leading scientists who understand and agree with the Malthus-Darwin science and the problem of human overpopulation. Do both. Do all until something WORKS and the natural world starts improving and human civilization building STOPS and is reversed! MAKE IT INTERESTING SO PEOPLE WATCH AND APPLY SOLUTIONS!!!!

2. All programs on Discovery Health-TLC must stop encouraging the birth of any more parasitic human infants and the false heroics behind those actions. In those programs' places, programs encouraging human sterilization and infertility must be pushed. All former pro-birth programs must now push in the direction of stopping human birth, not encouraging it.

3. All programs promoting War and the technology behind those must cease. There is no sense in advertising weapons of mass-destruction anymore. Instead, talk about ways to disassemble civilization and concentrate the message in finding SOLUTIONS to solving global military mechanized conflict. Again, solutions solutions instead of just repeating the same old wars with newer weapons. Also, keep out the fraudulent peace movements. They are liars and fakes and had no real intention of ending the wars. ALL OF THEM ARE FAKE! On one hand, they claim they want the wars to end, on the other, they are demanding the human population increase. World War II had 2 Billion humans and after that war, the people decided that tripling the population would assure peace. WTF??? STUPIDITY! MORE HUMANS EQUALS MORE WAR!

4. Civilization must be exposed for the filth it is. That, and all its disgusting religious-cultural roots and greed. Broadcast this message until the pollution in the planet is reversed and the human population goes down! This is your obligation. If you think it isn't, then get hell off the planet! Breathe Oil! It is the moral obligation of everyone living otherwise what good are they??

5. Immigration: Programs must be developed to find solutions to stopping ALL immigration pollution and the anchor baby filth that follows that. Find solutions to stopping it. Call for people in the world to develop solutions to stop it completely and permanently. Find solutions FOR these countries so they stop sending their breeding populations to the US and the world to seek jobs and therefore breed more unwanted pollution babies. FIND SOLUTIONS FOR THEM TO STOP THEIR HUMAN GROWTH AND THE EXPORTATION OF THAT DISGUSTING FILTH! (The first world is feeding the population growth of the Third World and those human families are going to where the food is! They must stop procreating new humans looking for nonexistant jobs!)

6. Find solutions for Global Warming, Automotive pollution, International Trade, factory pollution, and the whole blasted human economy. Find ways so that people don't build more housing pollution which destroys the environment to make way for more human filth! Find solutions so that people stop breeding as well as stopping using Oil in order to REVERSE Global warming and the destruction of the planet!

7. Develop shows that mention the Malthusian sciences about how food production leads to the overpopulation of the Human race. Talk about Evolution. Talk about Malthus and Darwin until it sinks into the stupid people's brains until they get it!!

8. Saving the Planet means saving what's left of the non-human Wildlife by decreasing the Human population. That means stopping the human race from breeding any more disgusting human babies! You're the media, you can reach enough people. It's your resposibility because you reach so many minds!!!

9. Develop shows that will correct and dismantle the dangerous US world economy. Find solutions for their disasterous Ponzi-Casino economy before they take the world to another nuclear war.

10. Stop all shows glorifying human birthing on all your channels and on TLC. Stop Future Weapons shows or replace the dialogue condemning the people behind these developments so that the shows become exposes rather than advertisements of Arms sales and development!

11. You're also going to find solutions for unemployment and housing. All these unemployed people makes me think the US is headed toward more war.

Humans are the most destructive, filthy, pollutive creatures around and are wrecking what's left of the planet with their false morals and breeding culture.

For every human born, ACRES of wildlife forests must be turned into farmland in order to feed that new addition over the course of 60 to 100 YEARS of that new human's lifespan! THIS IS AT THE EXPENSE OF THE FOREST CREATURES!!!! All human procreation and farming must cease!

It is the responsiblity of everyone to preserve the planet they live on by not breeding any more children who will continue their filthy practices. Children represent FUTURE catastrophic pollution whereas their parents are current pollution. NO MORE BABIES! Population growth is a real crisis. Even one child born in the US will use 30 to a thousand times more resources than a Third World child. It's like a couple are having 30 babies even though it's just one! If the US goes in this direction maybe other countries will too!

Also, war must be halted. Not because it's morally wrong, but because of the catastrophic environmental damage modern weapons cause to other creatures. FIND SOLUTIONS JUST LIKE THE BOOK SAYS! Humans are supposed to be inventive. INVENT, DAMN YOU!!

The world needs TV shows that DEVELOP solutions to the problems that humans are causing, not stupify the people into destroying the world. Not encouraging them to breed more environmentally harmful humans.
Saving the environment and the remaning species diversity of the planet is now your mindset. Nothing is more important than saving them. The Lions, Tigers, Giraffes, Elephants, Froggies, Turtles, Apes, Raccoons, Beetles, Ants, Sharks, Bears, and, of course, the Squirrels.
The humans? The planet does not need humans.

You MUST KNOW the human population is behind all the pollution and problems in the world, and YET you encourage the exact opposite instead of discouraging human growth and procreation. Surely you MUST ALREADY KNOW this!

I want Discovery Communications to broadcast on their channels to the world their new program lineup and I want proof they are doing so. I want the new shows started by asking the public for inventive solution ideas to save the planet and the remaining wildlife on it.

These are the demands and sayings of Lee.

Registered sex offender now pastor

Perez Blackmon is the new pastor at Rosinvick Missionary Baptist Church. The congregation voted him in.

The Early County Sheriff’s Office website earlycountysheriff.com lists Perez Blackmon as a registered sex offender. The website adds that he was convicted Feb. 17, 2005 in Early County for statutory rape.

Blackmon was sentenced to 15 years probation, according to the website.

A convicted rapist who is on probation. He was convicted of raping and molesting a child. He never admitted guilt. The terms of his probation prohibit him from being around children, yet he is the pastor of a church. It has children.

He’s stepped in it though, and I figure Pastor Blakmon’s days as a pastor are over. It looks like he is in violation of his parole, and you know what that means, Pastor Blakmon could end up in prison.

At the risk of going on a long rant, I must ask, what the hell are these people thinking? Why would you put a pedophile up as a pastor and who would follow him?

JamesLee According to his MySpace page, James Lee is an Atheist. He’s holding an undetermined number of hostages at the Discovery Channels Headquarters.

According to press reports, he’s a fucking loon:

FOX News - A man known for protesting the Discovery Channel stormed the network's Maryland headquarters carrying a handgun on Wednesday, taking a "small number" of hostages while appearing to have a bomb strapped to his chest, police said.

UKPA - The gunman had what Montgomery County Police Chief Thomas Manger described as a "small number of hostages" but he did not say how many. He also did not say what the man wanted or whether anyone was hurt.

Reuters - A U.S. law enforcement official said he believed the hostage-taker was named James Lee. A man called James Lee of San Diego was arrested in February 2008 after throwing money into the air in a protest outside the Discovery building, the Montgomery County Gazette reported that year.

Pharyngula has a list of demands.

The Discovery Channel MUST broadcast to the world their commitment to save the planet and to do the following IMMEDIATELY:

1. The Discovery Channel and it's affiliate channels MUST have daily television programs at prime time slots based on Daniel Quinn's "My Ishmael" …

It a good day for atheism. Our opponents will use this for years to come.

Update:

James Lee was shot. The device may have detonated. The hostages  were rescued. The police are not commenting on the status of James Lee. They will not say if he is alive or dead.
