Female Church Elder Faces Execution Over Torture of Child

Posted on by

With all the reporting I do regarding the abuse of children, you could be forgiving for thinking that it is a mainly male problem. While it is definately true that men are disproprotionately represented, it should be noted that this is mainly due to the tremendous power they tend to get when being part of a religious organizations. Most churches still ban women from serving, which seems to help keep the number of offenders low.

Unfortunately, in San Diego, a horrible human being was given custody over children she should have never been responsible for. Her name is Leticia McCormack, and she faces the death penalty for the death and torture of her adoptive child, Arabella. She was only 48 pounds when she died, and doctors noticed that there had been multiple incidents of her bones being broken. They estimate that her life was one of constant abuse and neglect. It’s why her biological parents are also on the hook for their involvement in the affair.

Deputy District Attorney Meredith Pro said the girl was “severely emaciated” at the time of her death, weighing only 48 pounds, less than she weighed when she was 5 years old. She also had 15 healing bone fractures, which Pro alleged likely occurred within the last four months of her life. The two other girls were also emaciated, malnourished and in need of immediate medical care.

The church she was an elder in is desperately trying to cut ties with her, but had to fork over 3 million dollars in a lawsuit brought on by the surviving siblings. In total, they recieved 31 million dollars as compensation. I’m sure everyone would have rather they have a good childhood than just a bunch of money, but it will have to do for now.

It remains to be seen if this women is actually sentenced to death for her crimes. I am not fan of capital punishment, but I will shed no tears if we are rid of this monster.

Salman Rushdie Attacker Found Guilty

Posted on by

This story should have been an easy thing to report on: “Islamic fundamentalist attacked famous author and refused to testify”. But as we’ve all come to expect, the spin on this story is enough to twist your head off.

Do you remember when the Iranian Iatollah issued a fatwa against Salman Rushdie? Well, America is at war, so any opportunity to paint a tragedy involving Iran in a tangental way is seen as a political necessity. It demonstrates the ease in which the mainstream media tries to justify the murder of civilians under any pretexct. How easy they have it when precise motivations of a man who attempted to murder a writer for “insulting” his faith are still a mystery. Hadi Matar has been convicted of the crime, even as he refuses to give us details on his actions. We rely instead on the criminal investigation, and the heavy bias of the media for answers.

I have no doubt that Islam is to blame, although I also wouldn’t be surprised if there were elements of mental distress that contributed to his actions (these things tend to get ignored when shielded in the cacoon of faith). Framing it as a political issue for an event that predates the war is no different than rewriting history to fit your narrative. This article cares little for celebrating justice being served, and is more focused on creating fear and distrust to back an unpopular war.

If you want an honest conversation of the dangerous of Islam, then I welcome it. What I don’t welcome is the media’s way of framing the conflicts as a battle of faiths, and worse, forcing the rest of us to chose one side or another. Christianity is no more an answer to insanity than Islam. It is like being asked to choose between a shit sandwitch and a shit burrito. The breading may change, but it’s the filling we don’t like.

Muslim Man Stabs 3 Women in Paris Knife Attack

Posted on by

The accusation that religion is a mask for mental illness has never been redressed. It’s little wonder why. Every day, countless people are harmed in the name of religion. Often, the victimizers think they are on some grand higher mission, when in reality their delusion is constantly reinforced by a system of belief that confuses fantasy with reality. Virgin birth, flying horses, talking snakes, all of these idiotic beliefs belies a deeper, and fundamentally more troubling fact: that faith is a refuge for dangerously inflated egos that justify all their terrible actions with a otherworld mandate.

Today’s psycho on the loose is a yet unnamed muslim man in his 20’s. He attacked 3 women in the city of Paris with a pair of kitchen knives. Their wounds were not fatal, as a fast acting nearby witness named Mohamed-Ali Bouhadjar sprung into action, and managed to tackle the perpetrator to the ground after another witness threw their suitcase at him. An off duty police officer then held him down until backup arrived to cart him off.

Mohamed-Ali Bouhadjar, 26, who filmed the video and posted it on Snapchat, told Reuters: “When I saw him stab a woman in the back, I started shouting: ‘Come on, let’s stop him.’ Several people stepped in.

“One person threw a suitcase ‌at him. He dropped the knives. At that moment I grabbed him, swept his legs out from under him, and we pinned him ​to the ground.”

I think this incident is a perfect example of the duality of religious belief. A man stabbed random strangers, convinced that he was being commanded by god to do so. A witness, likely a muslim himself, would no doubt claim the same inspiration behind his brave actions (he could be an atheist, or another denomination, to be fair). It also shows that even when we are defended by the righteous believers, people still inevitably get hurt. Those women could have easily died, and who knows how many more could have been victims.

Providing a shield for dangerous mental illness is inherant in all faiths, and as such, will always remain a threat to human civilization. What if this young man had access to a more deadly arsenal? Would he have hesitated to use it? Can the good believers protect us from the calamity some other, more equiped psycho will inevitably cause? There is a reason why in law enforcement, providing shelter to a criminal makes you complicit in their actions: you allowed this to happen by the nature of the belief, and no amount of “modernization” can purge the faith of it’s rotten core.

Vatican Canonical “Trials” are a Joke

Posted on by

Have you ever heard the phrase “we investigated ourselves and found nothing wrong”? This phrase usually comes up when corrupt organizations are allowed to self police. How many corrupt cops, officials, and politicians have gotten away with crimes simply because they were allowed to conduct their own “internal” investigation? Too many to count, I’m afraid.

If there’s one group that seems to get away with murder (sometimes literally), it’s the Vatican. The latest scandal involves a priest named Marco Ivan Rupnik who was “investigated” by the canonical branch of the secretive organization over his alleged sexual assault of several women. Unsurprisingly, the court did not find sufficient evidence to convinct, despite the fact that he had previously been briefly excommunicated for the crime of having pardoned one of his own victims in coffession.

If you’re wondering why the police or any prosecutors got involved, you must remember that the Vatican is an independant city state, thanks to a fascist government that allowed them this privalege in the late 1920’s. The statued of limitation on rape, something the catholic church fought vigourously to implement, had passed, so all the victims could hope for was their ridiculous show trial, which was conducted behind closed doors (I mean, they wouldn’t be an effective secret organization if they didn’t do this sort of thing!).

No witnesses were questioned, no real investigation took place. They could have just prayed about it for all we know.

In a letter to the head of the Vatican office that handles sex abuse cases, Sgro complained that no one from the Vatican had ever responded to her calls or emails seeking information about the case, and that her clients had never even been interviewed.

“How can what is happening be reconciled with the concepts of law, truth, justice, and fairness? With the words that the Holy Father constantly speaks on behalf of the victims of abuse?” Sgro wrote Cardinal Victor Manuel Fernández, prefect of the Vatican’s doctrine office.

Any morons out there still think that Pope Leo is on their side? The dude is just the window dressing for one of the most consistenly evil organizations in the world. How many other rapists are hidden in the hallowed halls of the Vatican? Thanks to their secretive way,s, and their consistent pattern of burying any claims of abuse, we’ll never know, will we?!

Mormon Church is Being Brought Down by Legos

Posted on by

When I was a child, Lego was a fun distraction. It was cheap and plentiful; only a few bucks for a bucket full of pieces. These days, however, Lego is big business. So big, in fact, that some people buy it as an investment. A company called “Bricks and Minifigs” was established in 2003, as a way of becoming a middleman in the sale of expensive and rare sets. In 2018, the company was purchased by a group based in Utah, and the franchise grew from only a few stores to over 300.

What we are learning now is that an incident occurred in which a family was selling their collection through the company when the collection was seized. This led to a dispute which began to really become wild once a Youtuber called “Reckless Ben” became involved. It would be difficult to explain everything, so instead I’ve included the video of the incident. What is clear from what happened is that the company is being heavily protected by the Mormon Church, which is using the American Fork Police as it’s own goon squad.

The situation is so bad that Ben has fled to Mexico, as the legal system is clearly under the control of a religious organization that believes it’s above the law. What is interesting is that a 200k situation is now becoming a billion dollar problem for a company that is being exposed as just another branch of the Mormon Church. In the coming weeks, we are no doubt going to see more drama unfold. I wouldn’t be surprised if this case gets national attention, and would be even less surprised if the American Fork police find themselves on the wrong side of not only a lawsuit, but criminal investigations.

Could the Mormon Church and the American Fork Police be brought down by bunch of Legos? A man can dream, can’t he?

Kingdom of God Global Church Accused of Money Laundering, Slavery.

Posted on by

In the kind of “nothing surprises me anymore” news, a church in Tampa Bay is under investigation for charges related to money laundering, and forced labour. According to the indictment, this church was a busy little bee when it came to human misery.

According to the indictment, Klein and co-defendants David Taylor and Michelle Brannon, ran a network of call centers across multiple states that used forced labor to solicit donations for KOGGC. Victims were forced to work grueling hours at the call centers without pay and pressured to hit impossible fundraising targets.

So far, that sounds like pretty standard stuff. I mean, have they heard of Scientology? What kind of punishment would these people receive when they didn’t “meet their targets”, you may ask?

…the punishment was severe: public humiliation, sleep deprivation, physical violence, withholding of food and shelter, forced repentance rituals, and threats of eternal damnation.

Of course, these depraved cult leaders were spending the money on the typical swag that these degenerates love: cars, mansions, and clothing. It’s always all about luxury goods, isn’t it?

Given that these crimes happened in several states, it’s being treated as a Federal crime, which means there’s a non-zero chance that these scumbags will be pardoned by the giant Orange Turd in office. Let’s hope for the victims that this horrible scenario doesn’t play out that way.

Little Girl Dies When Babysitter Attempts Baptism

Posted on by

The way religion makes people behave is abohrant. The level of entitelment of people who are convinced they are in possession of some divine truth is truly breathtaking. Sometimes it’s even deadly. That was certainly the case for a young child by the name of Klover Miyanee Symphonee Hawkins, who was tragically killed in a stupid and pointless religious ceremony.

In September of last year, she was being babysat by her second cousin, a 39 year old woman named Nakia Martin. While giving Klover and her siblings a bath, she began to hold their heads underwater in an attempt to “baptize” them. Six year old Klover drowned while this occurred, and the surviving children were threatened with banishment to Hell if they dared to tell anyone what happened. Martin then went into hiding, but was eventually arrested and charged with murder.

I simply can’t fathom the pain of her poor mother, who had trusted a family member with the lives of her children. Martin’s obvious mental illness had been masked under the guise of faith, meaning that it would have been impossible for other believers to know the danger she posed.

I feel like this story is emblematic of what is happening in America. A bunch of mentally diseased people, cloaked in religion, are acting in psychotic ways and other believers don’t even understand the scope of the problem. They instead think that because they share the same faith (on paper) that they have the same interests. They do not. Keep it up America, and you’ll be drowned in a bathtub during a botched baptism.

This is Just Sad and Gross

Posted on by

There has only every been one compelling reason to believe in religion: the promise of the afterlife. It’s essentially the spiritual Disney World of the faithful, and it’s little wonder that all religions tend to be fairly vague about the details. It’s best to let people’s imagination run wild. Some people want to have sex with a bunch of virgins. Others want to live in mansions.

For the most part, it all seems pretty self indulgent, but the element that does have sway is the idea of being with your loved ones once again. The pain of loss is all too real, and irreversible. It’s traumatic. For some, the hope of being reunited with them is enough to ignore all the other problematic or nonsensical elements of the faith. This desire is not something that can easily be overcome, and until we mature out of this need excessive love copium, what is on offer from faith will continue to have its strong appeal.

When you believe in absurdities, however, you are bound to behave in some pretty inappropriate ways. Take this poor Minnesota woman named Charice Antoinette Goude as an example. Her mother died, and she had been her caretaker for some time. When the 55 year old went to check up on her one morning, she found her dead. Any normal person would have called the authorities, and the process of settling their loved one’s affairs would have begun. Not in this case. Charice is very religious, and was convinced that her mother would soon be resurrected. It took 2 months until someone finally reported that there was something going on, and police responded thinking it was a person in distress. What they found instead was a rapidly decaying corpse.

Now, before you feel bad for Charice, keep in mind that her mother was suffering from diabetes, but this idiot failed to give her proper medication, as she wanted to treat her “naturally”. When her mother died, she also sealed up the windows so that no one could see what was inside. Her ex-husband, who owns the home but lives in the basement like a cave dweller, noticed a terrible smell and eventually made the call to police.

If you’re hoping for some kind of justice, you can forget about it. Charice won’t be charged with negligence, since the corpse was so badly decayed that an autopsy was impossible. Instead, she’s only being charged with interfering with a body, which is a class 6 felony; the lowest someone can be charged. I doubt she’ll even do jail time for this. Isn’t religion grand?

Egyptian Attacks 12 Year Old Atheist

Posted on by

The religion of peace has a problem. Islam seems incapable of living in harmony with other beliefs. In countries where the faith is the majority, religious minorities live in constant fear of retaliation over the slightest provocation. It’s not unlike the situation in Mediaeval Europe during the time of the Jewish pogroms. Now that Christians have taken a back seat to physically attacking people for not sharing their beliefs (which I’m sure there are many in America who feel it’s time for a violent comeback), it’s up to Islam to bully people for being different, old school style.

In Italy, a 12 year old boy was attacked when an Egyptian man overheard him tell his friend that he was an atheist. It was then that this coward decided that it would be a good idea to punch a young child in the face. Luckily, after he tried to escape, he was stopped by a brave woman until the authorities arrived.

It’s almost impossible to learn more about what happened, since the only news outlets to cover this incidents are both Italian, and seemingly uninterested in the details of the assault. The boy is fine, physically, but who knows what kind of lasting damage this random assault will have on him. This kind of behavior has become the norm for Muslims. Every other day, someone is assaulted, shot, or mutilated simply because the world’s most insecure faith chooses violence on a regular basis.

Just imagine the outrage if a 12 year old Muslim child had been randomly punched in the face simply because they told their friend they were a believer. There would be massive protest on the streets. Consulates would be on fire, and Italian flags would be burning. Instead, we sweep this under the rug, call it a day, and pretend that these types of incidents are rare. They are not, and we are fools for continuing to bury our heads in the sand.

Australian Muslims Double Down on Antisemitism

Posted on by

It can sometimes appear, to the very naïve, as though differing religions have a great deal in common. Islam and Christianity are offshoots of Judaism, and despite the occasional proclamation that they all have high regards for one another (saying they are all “People of the Book”), in truth these are all lies meant to draw focus away from the daily conflict the intersection of these faiths create. While it would be fair to say that the recent conflict in Gaza has only worsened the situation, only a fool believes that the so-called “Great Monotheistic Faiths” have anything but murderous intent for the other.

In Australia, authorities are investigating two Muslim nurses who posted a video online claiming they had purposefully killed Jewish babies in hospitals. This comes on the heel of multiple acts of vandalism at schools and synagogues, capping in a record year for anti-Semitic crimes in the country. The death of countless Palestinians is a perfect opportunity for vengeful theists to recruit more soldiers in their relentless sectarian crusade, and it seems as though there are plenty of believers willing to take things very seriously indeed.

Now, with such a dreadful admission, you would think that the Muslim community would distance themselves from such an obviously deranged person. They did the opposite, of course, claiming that the nurses who maid the sick comment are the real victims in the situation, since they have been placed on a leave of absence pending the investigation.

You could pretend that these are just bad eggs. I believe it is only the tip of this shit iceberg. Religious folks are perfectly fine lying to the faces of infidels, as there is no obligation in their belief system that they need to be truthful with the rest of us. I believe this sentiment is felt by the majority of Muslims, who think they have been humiliated and “wronged” for hundreds of years. They want the demise of western democracies, whom they see as being allied with their mortal enemy, and think that living under a theocracy is the best way to live.

The tragedy in all of this is that there will probably be soft headed idiots trying to defend the very people who despise them. All they see is a marginalized group, rather than a sick death cult that is secretly trying to destroy the foundations of their government to claim power for themselves. My advise to them is this: stop seeing only the color of their skin, and start listening to what they preach about. You will be shocked, to say the least.

Pastor Stabs Family, Sets Home on Fire

Posted on by

You have to wonder what the criteria is for becoming a pastor. Considering how many times we’ve reported on these sickos raping and abusing kids, it almost feels as though the only people interested in becoming priests are moral degenerates. That’s certainly the case for Mathew Lee Richards, a 41 year old man who was the pastor at Crossroads Christian Church in Shawnee. Richards and his family were in financial dire straights, and fearing eviction, he felt that the only way to solve the problem was by killing his family and setting the house on fire. You know, normal stuff…

When firefighters arrived, they found the home’s basement on fire and were able to quickly extinguish it, while officers found three people outside the home with stab wounds.
According to court documents, one of them was a child who suffered stab injuries to the upper right chest, as well as a significant cut across his abdomen that exposed internal organs. A second child suffered multiple stab wounds to his colon, liver, neck and back.

The good news is that Richards is an incompetent boob, and everyone survived his pathetic assault. They helped to testify against him, and Richards pled guilty to two counts of attempted murder. He will be sentenced in a month.

You really have to shake your head at situations like this. Religious morons are always quick to accuse other groups of all kinds of heinous acts, and yet are oddly silent every time one of their own commits horrible acts. In a sense, I can understand why. If Christians ever had to do any soul searching every single time that a pastor harmed or abused anyone, they would barely have time to do anything else. It’s better to just ignore the countless crimes they commit and accuse others of doing the same thing you’re doing. It’s been working for 2000 years, so why would they stop?

Man Kills Sister, Says He Followed “God’s Law”

Posted on by

What do you get when you combine the solipsism and psychopathy? You get religious wackos like Anthony Louis Lopez, who recently made a bizarre confession during his initial court appearance a few days ago. Lopez is accused of murdering his sister, Lisa Rosenzweig on November of last year, after he struck her in the head with an unidentified object. When court proceedings began, he waived off his council, claiming that he would be representing himself. He then followed this up by yelling in court that he was simply following “God’s Law” before being escorted out.

On December 6, police revealed that 39-year-old Anthony Lopez was a suspect in the case. Lopez was apprehended by Charlotte-Mecklenburg Police in North Carolina on a fugitive warrant. Following his extradition to South Carolina to respond to the murder charge, Lopez faced the judge on Friday.

Neighbors expressed their disbelief and hoped it was a tragic mishap. “She didn’t deserve that. She didn’t,” said Betty Taylor, Rosenzweig’s next-door neighbor, referring to the abuse she suffered.

Now the question is, how long has Lopez been a danger to society, and how much of his mental illness was hidden behind a mask of piety? It’s likely impossible to tell, which should really be all you need to know about religion in general. In my estimation, belief in God is merely a displaced sense of supreme authority, externalized to make it appear less psychotic. How many times have you heard a religious person claim that God is on their side? This is merely their own belief in the themselves, masquerading as obedience towards a higher power.

Lopez thought that he was the ultimate authority over the life of his sister. Now, as reality comes crashing down around him, he will soon face the consequence of his psychotic belief. Unfortunately, a woman is now dead because the signs of this man’s mania were hidden under the guise of religious fealty.

 

Pastor Defrauds Congregation with Crypto Scam

Posted on by

You have to shake your head sometimes over the fact that religious folks are constantly abused by their own church leaders. We atheists love to joke around and call them sheep, but it would be more accurate to describe them as pigs at a slaughterhouse. The way they are bled and hung up to dry, you would swear that their spiritual leaders were all trying to make sausage out of them.

The latest slaughter comes from the wacko state of Florida, where a 51 year old man named Francier Obando Pinillo is being indicted on 26 counts of fraud for his involvement in a crypto scam he pushed on this 1500 church members. Pinillo claimed to have had a dream about a coin he called Solano Fi (not to be confused with Solano), and that his God had promised returns of nearly 35 percent, claiming it would yield monthly compounded interest. Pinillo and his accomplices then created fake ledgers showing the victims the supposed gains they were making, although everyone was forbidden from withdrawing their money while the perpetrators did a rug pull.

This isn’t the first scammy pastor to use crypto to defraud his flock. TGA reported of another pastor who had done this a few months ago. These kinds of things are bound to happen more often. Christians are easy pickings. All you need to do is pretend that you have some special connection to God, and religious idiots will fall over themselves throwing money at whatever bullshit scam your peddling. They are already primed to believe in lies. You need only alter the falsehood enough to capitalize, and voila.

Now this moron is facing 20 years in jail. It wasn’t enough that he was taking their money for spewing nonsense. He just had to get greedy and in so doing, he killed his golden goose. You see, that is why you should always familiarize yourself with Mother Goose fairy tales: they are filled with life lessons that don’t get your ass sent to prison.

Pervert Pastor Hides Cameras in Bathrooms

Posted on by

What does it take to be a pastor these days? It would appear that the criteria is quite low, since every day I have the displeasure of reporting on the countless perversions from men of the cloth. Today, it’s a depraved old man named Arturo Laguna, who sounds more like a drug dealer than someone who should be in charge of people’s spiritual lives.

Laguna had installed a number of cameras in the women’s bathroom, one of which was discovered by a woman who was changing her child’s diaper. Because of how crude the setup was, the device was easily found because it fell from it’s concealed location. The woman then sought out the police, who recovered the device and found the culprit who installed them using the footage on the cameras. Laguna is now in custody awaiting his first court appearance in a few days.

The religious analogy of sheep is fitting. The faithful are lead by wolves who pray on them, feasting at will. It is only because they are so numerous that they feel safe. These poor fools fail to understand that the powers of the institutions they create are a breeding ground for abuse, and so many continue to be victimized, while those who are spared either ignore what is happening around them, or make excuses for their predators. Who is willing to bet that after a period of “repentance”, this same congregation would be willing to take him back on “promises” of better behavior?

“I promise to become a vegetarian” said the wolf in front of the flock, his mouth salivating at the sight of so much food. “I prayed for my love of meat to leave me, and the good Lord made it so.”

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.
