Imagine writing this on your resume:
Integral member of research team that electronically stimulated anteaters to elicit ejaculations. Explored the quaternary structure of the spiny anteater penis.
It can always get worse.

The wife and I were grocery shopping today and I came across this little gem of a product. I was forced to buy it since I didn't have my camera in the store with me. But how could I resist? Right there on the shelf next to the Cap'n Crunch was genuine god cereal.
The cereal is made by an organic whole grain food company named Food for Life.
They also make a line of Genesis1:29 grain and seed breads.
I did actually taste the product. It has the consistency of gravel but taste kind of like Grape Nuts. Edible at best but nothing heavenly tasting for sure; although I do have the sudden urge to denounce evolution, beat up a homosexual, and talk to an imaginary friend.

Former senator Rick Santorum, the intelligent design proponent, gay basher, and all around neocon-wingnut, appeared at Penn State University yesterday to speak at the "Islamo-Fascist Awareness Week" festivities.
In what can only be described as an enlightening quote, Santorum said:
"While Christianity presents a humble, meek message emphasizing love, Islam stemmed from the strong rule of the prophet Mohammed.So, like collecting stamps or building model trains, Christianity is merely a stupid hobby only to engaged in on Sundays. Cool. Thanks Rick.
Every aspect of life was ruled. Islam, unlike Christianity, is an all-encompassing ideology, It is not just something you do on Sunday…. We [as Americans] don’t get that."

I try to keep an ear to the ground when it comes to news about religion from around the world, but this story slipped by under my radar. Thankfully a fellow blogger, Psychodiva, posted about it and I feel compelled to do the same. The story is from last week's edition of the UK's Sunday Times and will make your head explode. Read it online here.
The gist of the article is that a group of Muslim medical school students are refusing to attend lectures, learn material, or answer exam questions that they feel is offensive to their religious beliefs. For instance, a group of students have refused to learn about alcohol related illnesses or sexually transmitted diseases since their religion does not allow drinking or promiscuity(or free thought, or tolerance but I digress). Some have even refused to examine female patients. Perhaps these pent-a-worshiping nutcases should have made a better choice of career. (like homeopathy or chiropractic care) Seriously, they are trying to enter a profession whose charge it is to heal and comfort those in need. Do they honestly believe that helping a "sinner" is being an accomplice after the fact? Not very tolerant or compassionate or helpful for that matter.
Do obese patients not get any care because of their sins of gluttony? What about diabetics(type 2) or people with coronary artery disease- much of their morbidity is self-induced not to mention smokers who develop lung cancer. Physicians should not be judgmental, in fact exactly the opposite is true. Without a trusting and honest relationship with a patient a physician will not be able to effectively treat someone. I am finishing my second year of medical school and I can't imagine trying to omit any of the things we have learned about. Trust me, there are things I wish I didn't have to know- but in the end the more I know the better service I can be to my patients.
I spent 6 years as a paramedic and another 4 as an ER nurse and believe me, I would have preferred that all of my patients to be of the clean, sober, appreciative, non self-destructive, non-combative, non-odorous and especially continent variety. Alas, this was not the reality. While I didn't agree with many of the choices my patients had made, my job was not to judge them or turn a blind pious eye- my job was to help. If you are already refusing to help a certain population of patients, then you have NO BUSINESS BEING A PHYSICIAN. Pray to Allah for a new career path! I hope the British Medical Association tells these students to go get fucked and never allows them to become doctors.
The article also reports that Sainsbury's, a large supermarket chain in th UK, has allowed its Muslim check out clerks to refuse to ring up purchases that contain alcohol, requiring another employee to drop what they are doing and take the place of the Muslim clerk. When will this political correctness insanity stop?
It's simple, if you want to believe in fairy tales and chose live your life based on some ridiculous scribblings in an old book, well, fine for you. But you can't expect, nor do you deserve, special accommodations be made just because your personal brand of delusion is a religious one!

Well, well, well. It the latest of what seems to a never ending parade of hypocrisy and embarrassment, the Vatican has suspended Monsignor Tommaso Stenico after he was caught on hidden camera making sexual advances to a young man. Story Here.
This of course wouldn't be all that newsworthy- rather cliche' actually. But this particular priest is a top official of the Vatican's Congregation of the Clergy. The Congregation of the Clergy is an in-house body that tries to ensure "proper conduct" by priests. Good stuff.
Monsignor Stenico's defense? He claims he was only "pretending" to be gay as part of his work in cleaning up the church. (not to be confused with the famous, "I'm not gay but the men I have sex with are" defense!)
He states he was only gathering information against "those who damage the image of the Church with homosexual activity". He was captured on video via hidden camera saying that he didn't feel he was sinning by having sex with men. The Vatican's official position on homosexuality is of course different than the monsignor's, they maintain homosexual "activity" is a sin. (I wonder about their stance on broadway musicals or figure skating)
Oh, the hypocrisy!
When will the world finally wake up and see just how repressive and corrosive religion is? Not that I don't enjoy seeing blow-hard hypocrites like this priest, Senator Larry Craig, Ted Haggard, etc etc etc get nailed; (no pun intended) but what kind of world has religion created that turns people into self-loathing bigots that persecute others?
It boggles my mind that people actually believe there is an invisible magical space god who watches your every move and hates it when people of the same sex love each other in a romantic way. Really?
