Pakistani Woman Sentenced to Death for Blasphemy

Posted on by

A mother of four is facing a death sentence, after a judge in Pakistan convicted her of the ridiculous “crime” of blasphemy. The incident occurred after she was allegedly sharing content on WhatsApp that small minded and dangerous weirdos considered blasphemous, and this alone was enough to convict her of the harshest punishment a human can receive: a sentence of death.

TGA has previously reported of another incident in which a man was killed by a mob for similar reasons. It seems the country is on a roll, and has no plans on stopping anytime soon:

Nearly 3,000 persons have been accused of blasphemy in Pakistan since 1987, according to the Center for Social Justice (CSJ). The actual scale of abuse of these laws may be three to four times higher, it noted in a report.

It stated that hundreds of accused were incarcerated last year in Pakistan, with 552 detained in prisons in Punjab Province alone. At least 350 persons remained behind bars as of June, according to the report, adding that 103 new persons had been accused of blasphemy this year between January and June.

The news source that published this, a christian rag called Morning Star News, makes it seems as though this problem is uniquely Christian. However, it must be noted that blasphemy accusations also occur among believers, as it is a convenient way to eliminate a rival or a hated neighbor. One needs only agitate the mob, and the rest is easy.

I find it disgusting that we are still killing each other for offending people’s imaginary friend. It is as though we’ve handed a gun to a child, and told him that he can shoot anyone that refuses to play his games. Then, to compound the irony, we are told by these same people that the world would descend into chaos if not for their sinister machinations. Utterly ridiculous.

Abuse Allegations for Supposed Saint Abbe Pierre

Posted on by

If you live long enough in the catholic church, you’ll finally be revealed as the villain you are. Take for instance Father Abbe Pierre. Although he died a few years ago, he was so beloved that there had been talk of his sainthood. Those plans are in jeopardy now that a number of women have come forward with credible accusations of abuse.

“We are in a state of shock, very hurt and very angry,” said Christophe Robert, who heads the Abbé Pierre Foundation. “We extend our fullest support to all the victims who have had the courage to speak out.” .. More perplexing to many is growing evidence that colleagues in Emmaus – and in the Catholic Church – were aware of Abbé Pierre’s sexual behaviour, but failed to speak out.

This is “perplexing” to exactly no one familiar with the M.O. of this sinister organization. Need I remind the reader that it was only a few years ago that we learned of a secret memo from the head of the Inquisition (renamed “Congregation of the Doctrine of the Faith”) Joseph Ratzinger, later Pope Benedict XVI, who specified that any priest caught talking with police would be excommunicated from the church.

So, even if someone had wanted to report that despicable behavior of this sex pervert, they would have risked their livelihood, their social circle, and their immortal soul. While I think it’s worth it if it saves anyone from being a future victim, this is not a sentiment held by a institution that claims to be the living avatar for an all powerful creator god…it just makes you want to burst out laughing saying such silly things, doesn’t it?

Thousands of Women Victim of Witch Hunts in India

Posted on by

I am not a cultural relativist. It’s become a bit of a fashion for my friends on the hard left to adopt the idea that all cultures have some inherent value, and that to judge these cultures is to impose our own morality on others, which is another form of colonialism. I call bullshit on this idea. This isn’t to say that there hasn’t been abuse in this sphere, or that people in the West are not guilty of brutalizing the culture of others in order to make them fit into our societies. However, to ignore that there are still aspects of sheer barbarism that still exists in human cultures is simply wrong, and ignores the real suffering of oppressed people.

I propose that there should be a few criteria to judge whether or not a culture tradition is valid or not. The most obvious of these would be how a culture treats women. For thousands of years, the female of our species have been abused in countless societies. It’s a redress that we have yet to full implement here in the West. While things have vastly improved, women are still harassed and abused in our societies. The rates of domestic violence, rape and harassment only demonstrate the fact that as a society, we are still a work in progress.

But progress is not the same in every country. Take India as an example. The world’s largest democracy also happens to be it’s most volatile, with women being treated in much the same way as they were in Europe during the Dark Ages. In particular, single women are often the target of wild accusations of sorcery, usually born out of a desire to steal their land, and their lives.

Battles over land and property are common starts to witch hunts, says Soma Chaudhuri, a sociologist at Michigan State University who studies gender violence in India. Chaudhuri says witch hunts and beatings provide an outlet for men living in poverty to vent frustrations over their own lack of power.

The numbers are terrifying. From what Scientific American has gathered, thousands of women have been accused of witchcraft, being beaten, or even killed by mobs of ignorant and violent men intent on stealing their goods. It’s despicable, and an example of what happens when you hold women in such low regard. It’s wrong, and needs to be discussed without fear of being accused of “colonialism” for standing up for the rights of women.

Pope Visits New Guinea, Laments Their Superstitions

Posted on by

Has there ever been an organization with less self awareness than the Catholic Church? For starters, it is the wealthiest organization in the world. In terms of real-estate holdings alone, they dwarf the British Royal Family in terms of sheer volume and size. St. Peter’s Basilica is estimated to be worth around 33 billion dollars, but this is merely from the cost of the materials. It does not factor the actual artistry, or the rarity in the skill needed to even try and replicate such a masterpiece. They also own over 5000 other churches and investment properties, and so no one really known the total actual worth of this sinister organization.

It’s why I’ve always found their call for charity to ring hallow. When their pontiff eats, he does so on gold plates, which is all you really need to know whenever this same jackass makes a visit to a poor country stressing the need to help the poor.

It’s not only poverty that these morons like to lecture about. Just the other day, this hypocrite visited New Guinea, where a significant portion of the population is Catholic. Ignoring the methodology in which this conversion happened (it was not a peaceful event, to say the least), the latest stupid comment made by the most overrated human on earth also included a call to end superstition that put women in harm’s way:

Francis urged the church leaders in Papua New Guinea to be particularly close to these people on the margins who had been wounded by “prejudice and superstition.” I think too of the marginalized and wounded, both morally and physically, by prejudice and superstition sometimes to the point of having to risk their lives,” Francis said. He urged the church to be particularly close to such people on the peripheries, with “closeness, compassion and tenderness.”

Anyone unfamiliar with history will fail to understand the profound irony in that statement. Let’s not forget that it was the church that burned alive so many women due to accusation of witchcraft. Not only that, but in countries like Nigeria, the toxic mixture of local superstition, and the Bible’s own commandment to destroy witches, has caused the suffering of countless women and children. They bare the responsibility of having introduced these societies to their poison, and yet seem completely oblivious to the harm they cause.

The church would like you to also forget the misery they continue to perpetuate by misinforming people on the benefits of condom use. So, whenever you hear one of these sanctimonious assholes who love the smell of their own farts, you should politely tell them to fix the problems in their own house before going to other places to lecture them,

Paraguay’s Catholic Sex Ed Is Useless

Posted on by

One of the greatest inventions of the 20th century was the condom. This little device, used correctly, has prevented the spread of STI, and other deadly infections. In countries ravaged by HIV, it is one of the only known methods to stop the spread of this deadly disease. Condoms can be mass produced, distributed for almost nothing, and they save lives.

Now, why would anyone oppose the use of this life saving device? If you’re the Catholic Church, it’s because of two passages in the Bible that you’ve decided to interpret rather generously. The first passage is from Genesis, when after genociding his own creation, God tells Moses to “be fruitful and multiply”. When there’s only a tiny family left from your murderous temper, that’s understandable. The other passage involves a man called Onan, who pulls out at the last minute rather than impregnate his recently widowed sister-in-law. God kills him for this act of contraception, and ever since then, Catholics are convinced that their chosen deity is totally against any form of birth control.

Since the very beginning of it’s creation, they have been busy convincing the world that condom use is wrong. Like all religions, they are willing to lie in order to achieve their goals; after all, it’s not a sin to lie if it’s for Jesus, remember? In 2002, over 64% of all premature deaths in the continent of Africa were caused by complications due to the HIV virus. Thankfully, that number has dropped, but there are still over 400,000 that die every year due to the disease. This reduction is transmission is directly attributable to the use of condoms, which again, the church is adamant is wrong.

In Paraguay, they are trying to teach the same nonsense in their “Sex Ed” class. The country has the highest rate of teen pregnancy, thanks to the Catholic church having tight control over education there. The country is trying to reform their education, but they’ve doubled down on the religious aspect:

The curriculum, a copy of which was obtained by the AP, promotes abstinence, explains sex as “God’s invention for married people,” warns about the inefficacy of condoms and says nothing of sexual orientation or identity.

Oh, and lets not forget how much they hate it when people touch themselves:

Masturbation, it says, causes “frustration and isolation.” Marital love lasts forever. Girls should beware of “how their way of dressing makes men behave.” Female puberty is “the body preparing to become a wife and mother.”

Marital love lasts forever? What planet are they from? One where abortion is illegal, and where divorce is nearly impossible, presumably. I feel bad for the people of Paraguay. They are still under the yoke of religion, which intends to make them more fearful and ignorant. That’s just how the Catholic Church like’s em!

Polish Kids are totally Based

Posted on by

I realize that I might be showing my age by using young people jargon, but you’ll need to forgive my excitement. You see, Polish youths are thoroughly rejecting religious education classes, and I couldn’t be happier.

In 2010, 93% of students attended religion classes, but by 2022, this figure had dropped to 54%, according to a survey by pollster CBOS and the Polish fact-checking portal Demagog.org.

It’s a kind of double-wammy for Polish Catholics. Not only are the youth refusing to take religious education, there’s actually a shortage of people teaching these classes too. Of course, since religious people lie through their teeth at every opportunity, the church denies that there is a shortage, despite the fact that the rest of the world is in the same boat. In an effort to still offer the classes, students from different grades are being combined, and this is pissing those poor Catholics:

The petitioners accuse the Ministry of Education of failing to consult with Church representatives as required by law when issuing the decree on religious education.

The education minister stated that consultations with the Church had taken place, some feedback was incorporated, and the claims of insufficient consultation were incorrect.

Are these organizations chronically allergic to the truth? I’d say it’s an overwhelming “yes”. In any case, given how quick the decline is, the church should be worried. While it might be a little early to declare victory, things are definitely looking up.

Could Untreated UTI’s Explain the Rise of Trump?

Posted on by

Alright, this one is a bit out there, but you’ll need to hear me out. I spend quite a bit of time on the atheism subreddit, and came across a rather interesting find. An anonymous older gentlemen had posted that his wife had a very sudden political transformation. She had gone from a liberal to quite the little Trump supporter, threatening her husband with her vote if he did not accompany her to church. Naturally, he was distressed at the drastic change in her behavior. The responses were unusual, but may hold a very interesting insight into the nature of the human mind.

It turns out there a number of other responders had similar experiences with their loved ones, and that in many of these cases, the reason for the change was because of an undiagnosed Urinary Track Infection. Amazingly, something as seemingly benign can have some profound effects on the human psyche. Here’s a sample from the Alzheimer Society

If the person has a sudden and unexplained change in their behaviour, such as increased confusion, agitation, or withdrawal, this may be because of a UTI.

Could this explain why people would suddenly become racist bigots that think that Donald Trump is the second coming of Christ? Could all of this be the result of bacterial infections? Man, nature sure is weird!

 

Colorado Jails Mom, Rewards Rapist Father

Posted on by

Ok, this story is so messed up that it is likely going to cause you to rage, and have a terrible day. It’s probably one of the most egregious abuse of legal power I’ve seen in a while, and it’s all courtesy of the corruption that is religion.

It begins with a mother trying to save her family from their abusive father. Rachel Hawkins is a mother of four, and she is desperate to protect her two youngest, aged 10 and 13. So much so that when the family courts ordered her to participate (and pay) in “reunification therapy”, she refused, and was sent to jail for it. For those of you unfamiliar with this highly controversial form of therapy, it is an attempt to help reunite families after there have been instances of abuse. This is usually done not for the benefit of the children, but for the parents, who can often suffer from depression due to “parental alienation”. On paper, it’s meant to try and mend broken relationships. In practice, it simply exposes children to their abusers, often with deadly consequences.

Many of the organizations that offer this form of therapy are merely religious organizations in disguise. Since these groups are uninterested in the scientific method, or evidence, they have made all kinds of claims of the benefits of such programs. So much so that family courts are now using these programs to force families broken by abuse to mend themselves forcefully together.

In the case of the Hawkins, the father, a retired police officer by the name of Michael, was credibly accused of sexual abuse by his adopted 17 year old daughter starting at 6 years of age. When one of his sons confronted Michael about the abuse, he attempted to drown him. Michael is under house arrest, with an ankle monitor while he awaits trial. Meanwhile, a Colorado court has determined that poor Mikey is suffering from parental alienation as the result of his actions, and his two remaining children have been ordered to attend the Reunification therapy in order to fix this relationship, and are forcing the mother to pay for it.

The mother said she lost legal representation in the custody dispute after accruing $85,000 in legal bills, which she couldn’t afford. She was sentenced to jail without any representation from a lawyer.

Now, it needs to be stated plainly that the person offering this junk counseling, Christine Bassett, operates out of Lighthouse Christian Counseling”, which advertises itself as “integrating faith into the counseling process”. This means that the court has essentially forced the mother to comply with ineffective and dangerous therapy courtesy of religious nutbags.

Rachel has started a GoFundMe in order to hire a lawyer. Given the facts of the case, she has a good chance of winning, if she is able to raise the 100k she needs. She is already halfway there. If anyone wants to help her fight the good fight, I invite you to help her.

Pastor Fired From Fort Mills Church After Past Becomes Public

Posted on by

When you hear churches claim that they vet all of their pastors, you should instantly doubt them. You see, modern churches have a big problem: they are running out of pastors. Every year, there are fewer and fewer candidates to choose from, and so when a congregation finally finds someone to minister, they are so desperate that most of them don’t even bother to do their due diligence to protect their own flock.

Such was the case in Indiana, at a small church called “Fort Mill”. They had hired a 57 year old by the name of Donald Ray Logan, who had been working for the organization for over a decade. It turns out that one of the members of the church found his name in a registered sex offender list for a 1997 conviction. Logan was only recently added to the online sex offender registry, despite the fact that the charges stem from over three decades.

Logan is now fired, and his congregation is still in shock over the accusation. They shouldn’t be. With the increased desperation for qualified pastors, churches are usually forced to hire people with questionable pasts. Logan is but one example of the types of degenerates that seek these positions. Anyone who thinks that churches conduct rigorous background checks is a fool. They will take anyone, so long as they look the part. For all you religious folks, I have a warning for you: this is only going to get worse.

NC Former Church Youth Minister accused of assaulting multiple teens

Posted on by

Has there ever been a more abused position than “youth pastor”? The amount of times I’ve had to write the phrase “youth pastor rapes children” are too many to count. This job title should just be renamed to “molester-in-chief” since it seems as though it’s the only thing these guys are good for.

The latest sack of crap is a man named James Robert Murphey. The 44 year old man was arrested a few days ago, and is accused of 30 counts of sexual battery. The victims, who’s age range from 16-19, was suspended by the Oak View Baptist Church, where he served from 24 years.

The safety director of Oak View Baptist Church, Chris Martin, said the allegations came to light earlier in the year. The church was told about the claims back in January and Murphey was suspended. One week later, he resigned. Martin said, “Any kind of incident involving any of our members, especially our youth, is going to be taken very seriously.”

Anyone who believes that any church gives a damn about the abuse of children is delusional. How many kids have to be abused before people realize that these institutions actually ATTRACT abusers. How can they take this seriously when they are part of the problem?

With him gone, the Church has found and appointed a new youth minister. How long will it take the new guy to also do something inappropriate and illegal? Only time will tell.

If Only Jesus Counted Votes

Posted on by

P.T. Barnum once famously said, there’s a sucker born every minute. While his observations was geared towards those people who gave him money for his attractions, the same thing applies to religious folks. It doesn’t matter if you think that faith is for morons. So long as you claim to be pious, people will believe the most insane things.

Take for example Donald Trump. If there was a reincarnation of Barnum, it would be him. Trump’s entire life has been a grift. His latest in his quest to regain the white house is to convince people that he is a believer. In a recent interview with Dr. Phil, he explained that the bearded one in the sky is on his side, and if only Jesus had been counting ballots, it would have been a very different election:

“If Jesus Christ came down and was the vote counter, I would win California, OK?” Trump said. “In other words, if we had an honest vote counter, a really honest vote counter—I do great with Hispanics, great, I mean at a level no Republican has ever done—but if we had an honest vote counter, I would win California.”

Keep in mind that Biden won the state by 63% in 2020. To a man so allergic to reality, this is merely an inconvenient truth, one that needs only to be ignored. His religious believers, themselves unaccustomed to honesty, are convinced that he’s a messenger of their god. The fact that he represents everything they hate is irrelevant: he offers them worldly power, and despite claiming that they are only interested in the afterlife, Christians have become obsessed with ruling over their fellow Americans.

It’s not surprising that a worm like Dr. Phil wouldn’t dare to actually ask poignant questions. He just listens to this insane man claim that the Christian God would have given him the presidency. That’s the kind of shit people in insane asylums say. The fact that this man has a good chance of winning the most powerful position on earth is terrifying.

East Timor Demolishes Homes In Preparation For Pope

Posted on by

The Pope is on tour. He’s currently visiting three different countries: Indonesia, Papua New Guinea, and East Timor. In preparation for his visit to the capital of East Timor, Dili, the local government has been bulldozing homes they claim were built illegally. In order to accommodate the estimated 700,000 people that will be showing up, residences of these small enclaves were given a few minutes to prepare before all their earthly possessions and their homes were destroyed.

East Timor is one of the poorest countries on earth, but they are going all in on the visit:

The government has allocated $18 million for the pontiff’s three-day visit, including $1.5 million for a custom-built altar designed by a Vatican engineer… Yet, in a country where 40 per cent of people live below the poverty line, civil society groups are questioning the budget for the visit, as well as the forced evictions.

Hilariously enough, despite all the money being spent and the forced evictions, most of the citizens are looking forward to a billionaire showing up and saying a few magic words. They like the fact that the city is being finally cleaned. It’s a temporary measure, and it’s bound to have no real effect on their lives. But hey, some guy dressed in white who claims to speak to God is coming to town. Better roll out the red carpet! Who cares if hundreds of families are left homeless and afraid!

No One Is Going To Church Regularly

Posted on by

You can always count on religious people lying. Most of the time, these lies are self serving. Usually, the faithful lie about their own piety to appear more religious, which always seems like it’s a contest or something.

One recently exposed lie is church attendance. The self reported number of Americans attending church weekly is around 22%, but a new study has found that the number is actually closer to 5%. The researcher used cellphone data to track the whereabouts of Americans, and to see what their weekly schedule looks like. To say that people are exaggerating their church attendance is an understatement. The numbers make it look like almost no one is going to church regularly anymore.

It’s a pretty shocking number. Now granted, around 70% of Americans will attend a church service at least once a year, but the trend is clear: religion is becoming less and less relevant in people’s lives. There are still 45 million people that visit churches weekly in America, but it’s looking like this group is constantly changing. The lesson here is simple: people are pretending to be more religious than they are, in order to convince others that they are pious. It’s just sad.

Brazilian Priest Rapes Teens, Forces One to Have Abortion

Posted on by

If there’s an organization that attracts abusive psychos, it’s the Catholic Church. Tyrants who crave power are always welcome in the church, so long as they mask their intent under the guise of piety. You may think I am being overly hyperbolic, but how else can you explain how their ranks are bursting with serial abusers? Even in a culture of secrecy with hundreds of billions of dollars worth of capital to maintain it, there are still countless stories of victims who have been brave enough to come forward to expose these monsters.

The latest vile excuse for a human being is Father Paulo Araujo da Silva, a priest in the city of Coari. Seems he had a dream of having a harem of underage girls, and so after grooming 4 of them, he began to sexually abuse them. His lust and need for control were insatiable. He would force the girls to bring their friends along, and would film himself engaging in this sick ritual. Da Silva told them that no other men could date them, for they were his and his alone. When one of them became pregnant, she was forced to ingest a mysterious pill which resulted in an abortion.

This abuse continued for years, until finally one of the victims approached police to inform them of what was going on. When the agents busted in his place, he was in bed with another girl that had only recently turned 18, though it was clear that the affair had been going on for quite some time. The police searched his phone, and found 260 videos of his sick escapades.

The Diocese of Coari obviously tried to distance themselves from the whole affair, offering the typical platitudes offered to victims.

The diocese said “all the necessary canonical measures” have been taken. The priest was suspended and can no longer have any activity in the parish. The Church is also available to work with the authorities in the inquiry, concluded the note, signed by the diocese’s chancellor, Father Josinaldo Plácido da Silva.

We’re all so impressed that the Church is working with authorities. It’s literally required by law for them to do so. As for their “canonically punishments”, it’s just a funny way of saying that they stopped paying his bills. They need to save some money anyways; no doubt they are busy getting their lawyers to draft some form of non disclosure agreements,  and lawyers ain’t cheap.

If the church really wanted to stop these men, they would firstly rescind their own rules which stipulate that priests are not allowed to report abuse to the police, and must instead rely upon the church to handle the situation themselves. This “handling” usually takes the form of shuffling priests around when too many kids get raped, giving these predators a new field of victims from which to harvest. That would be a start. They could also stop sheltering countless priests in the Vatican under “house arrest” and let the law get their hands on them. They roam Italy with impunity, since they are technically residents of a city state that claims to be a nation. I doubt if either of these two things will ever come to pass.

Lets not also forget the incredible power and authority that is granted to human beings by simply holding their positions as priests. Instead of holding these men more accountable, the desperation of the Catholic Church to find employees means that they are willing to overlook serious issues with their candidates. Power corrupts, and it seems that the church is in the habit of attracting those that are easily corrupted. It speaks volume to their character, and to that of their employers.

Here’s hoping that this irredeemable bastard faces the harshest punishment. There is no cell filthy enough, and no prison mattress uncomfortable enough for this monster.

Being a Woman in Afghanistan Sucks

Posted on by

If there’s one thing that the followers of the prophet Mohammed are afraid of, it’s women. How else could you explain their obsession with ensuring that they are in a state of near constant subjugation? If they aren’t suffocating in the world’s most restrictive clothing, they are denied the basic rights that are given to men. They are considered no better than property, with all the rights that entails.

In Afghanistan, where the Taliban rule, women have been the target of increasingly draconian rules. The latest is an edict that forbids women from singing, or even from reading in public:

A woman’s voice is deemed intimate and so should not be heard singing, reciting, or reading aloud in public. It is forbidden for women to look at men they are not related to by blood or marriage and vice versa. “Inshallah we assure you that this Islamic law will be of great help in the promotion of virtue and the elimination of vice,” said ministry spokesman Maulvi Abdul Ghafar Farooq on Thursday, of the new laws.

These sexually repressed weirdos are so pathetic, they consider the voice of a woman to be enough to corrupt their men. No wonder they have such high incidences of sexual assault: Muslim men want to blame everyone but themselves for their shitty, entitled behavior. This is the male ego writ large, and it’s a profoundly ugly thing.

You can imagine what “enforcement” of these ridiculous laws will be like. In Iran, where similar laws exists, women are routinely beaten, and sometimes killed, simply for the crime of not following ridiculous laws.

There will never be peace in our time, or the full emancipation of women, until religions like Islam are abandoned completely. Until the last prayer is uttered, this pathetic religion will continue to impose it’s limited vision of humanity, cursing the opposite sex to a life of servitude and ignorance.
