The new Pope is moving in the right direction

Watch the edited version of the South Park Bloody Mary video here.


I'm starting to like this Pope. First he examines a statue of Mother Mary on South Park and he winds up declaring: "A chick bleeding out her vagina is no miracle. Chicks bleed out their vaginas all the time"--Pope Benedict XVI.. Now he declares "science no threat to faith." Outside of the fact that he was in the Hitler Yoot and he is against Aids infected Africans wearing condoms, he isn't that bad a guy.

Fatwah Against Goofy For Breaking Dishes

I found this interesting essay on racism in cartoons from 2004, where the author complains that Arabs were victims of double standards when it came to censorship. But aside from his complaints which seem ridiculous in light of what is happening now, there are some really nostalgic clips available. Here, Goofy and Donald Duck have a conflict with an Arab mirage. This was back in 1947, the year before Israel became a reality. The thing is, after knowing what we know now, was it really racism? This Bugs and Daffy cartoon is just too funny. Bugs looking for Pizmo Beach winds up in Arabia with a very greedy Daffy and they encounter a dimwitted Arab.
"Hassan chop" makes me laugh more now than it did when I was a kid. Good thing a horny Donald Duck got ripped off watching just one virgin duck dancing for him in this 1941 Disney short. Remember, this is just one and not 72 as promised by those who brainwash teenagers into blowing themselves up. And finally Popeye is called into action in this 1937 flick to confront the thieving Abu Hassan, "who will still your women and children too." The song at the beginning of the cartoon sounds like Abu Asshole. But maybe I am just hearing what I want to hear. This cartoon is longer than the others. Ah, remember the good old days, when Arabs were portrayed as blood thirsty hate mongers and the only oil was in Texas.

Scientific Facts Fundies Would Accept (if only they were only true)

Breastfeeding a female baby increases the chances that she becomes a lesbian by 5 times.

Not breastfeeding a male baby increases his chances of being a homosexual by 5 times.

Dinosaur fossils are found to be just weird rocks. And like snowflakes, no two weird rocks are alike.

Stars that you see at night are just an optical illusion like rainbows.

"Soul" found in the prefrontal cortex of the brain. The area of the soul is much larger in Christians than in Muslims or Jews. Atheists and monkeys, and other lower animals are missing this brain feature.

During near death experiences those who believe in God always see a white light. Atheists only see darkness. Muslims and Jews see a flashing yellow light.

Garden of Eden found in Iraq. A tree is found with "God was here 3761 BC" carved in it.

Those who take science in high school live 6 years less on average than those who don't take science.

Bacon and God: Attempt to insult other religions

Bacon tries to insult the major religions.

Dear Fundies, I'm curious about something.

First off, let me define Fundy. A Fundy is a religious fundamentalist who does not believe in the evolution of man and/or believes in a young earth. Someone who interprets his/her bible literally whether that bible is the OT, the NT, or the Koran.
Now for my questions. When you Fundies see scientific news, or just regular news about a new fossil find of an extinct life form, or stories that matter of factly peg the age of the universe or objects in the universe as billions of years old, do you simply dismiss these stories as fraudulent lies, and/or some sort of conspiracy, or do you just ignore these stories altogether?
Do you watch TV shows that "promote" the ancient universe and evolution? Do you just laugh at what they say on these shows, or do they make you angry, or do you shake your head and call them liars?
Are PBS, the Discovery Network, and the National Geographics station channel blocked in your household?
If you have children, and they are taught about evolution or an ancient universe, do you think about homeschooling them, and/or tell them their teachers are peddling lies, and/or ground the kid or intimidate the kid with threats of violence?
Just curious.
