Tattoo You

Ah, some of that old-time religion, courtesy of Reverend Peter Mullen, who is (I'm not making this up) a spiritual adviser to the London Stock Exchange. Because when our financial markets are in free fall, the men and women on the trading floor should really focus on their latent hatred for same-sex couples.

It is time that religious believers began to recommend specific utilitarian discouragements of homosexual practices after the style of warnings on cigarette packets: Let us make it obligatory for homosexuals to have their backsides tattooed with the slogan SODOMY CAN SERIOUSLY DAMAGE YOUR HEALTH and their chins with FELLATIO KILLS. In addition the obscene "gay pride" parades and carnivals should be banned for they give rise to passive corruption, comparable to passive smoking. Young people forced to witness these excrescences are corrupted by them.

This is followed by a plea to show sodomy in school. On film. To kids. As a deterrent and a public-health PSA.

There ought to be teaching films shown in sex education classes in all our schools. These would portray acts of sodomy and the soundtrack would reinforce the message that it is a filthy practice ending with the admonition: "We do, after all, know the importance of washing our hands after going to the lavatory."

Thank God I'm an atheist!

So, our "Christians" don't have a monopoly on insanity.

If the Reverend Gentleman wants an object lesson in people being buggered, the current kamikaze meltdown of the financial markets should give him everything he wants in the way of show-and-tell.

Come to think of it, watching the stock market follies is probably what reminded him of it....

Ah yes, further proof that the process of indoctrinating the human mind to accept preposterous premises such as sky-gods who watch your every action and judge your every thought opens the door to even more ridiculous and dangerous lapses in logic.

Once we forsake reason to accommodate one self-delusion, the floodgates open up.

Viva La Idiocracy!
