Good Friday Godlessness

It was on Good Friday, April 10, that Pope Benedict XVI spoke out against what he called "the rise of aggressive secularism in Western societies, warning them [the people?] that they risked drifting into a 'desert of godlessness.'"

Some of us think that a "desert of godlessness" would be like a dessert, when we consider the so-called "godliness" of the Pope and his minions in the Vatican and his other menials spread, like a cancer, around the world.

The Daily Mail tells us all about it: To remove religion from public life, said the pontiff, is the same as "the mockery of Christ by the mob as he was led out to be crucified."

Benedict said that "'Religious sentiments' were increasingly ranked among the 'unwelcome leftovers of antiquity' and 'held up to scorn and ridicule.'"

That sounds about right.

And all of this "humiliates" Jesus. The "sense of the sacred is allowed to erode."

"Values and norms that held societies together and drew people to higher ideals are laughed at and thrown overboard. Jesus continues to be ridiculed."

And then, [this is so riddled with irony and hypocrisy it's a wonder he could keep a straight face] Benedict "condemned the oppression of women, saying there were 'many societies in the world where women fail to receive a fair deal.'

"'Christ must be weeping for them,'" said Bennie.


Pope Benedict is quite careful to threaten the faithful by implying that the adoption of secularism [which has something to do with rejecting the Catholic church's doctrines] is to break the heart of Jesus, is to betray Jesus once again, is to join the mob [read "damn Jews] in the courtyard, is to crucify the Lord anew.

But what he doesn't get is that many "religious sentiments" should be "ranked among the 'unwelcome leftovers of antiquity' and [be] 'held up to scorn an ridicule.'"

And those "values" and "norms" which used to hold society together are nothing more than threats of purgatory/excommunication or fear of hell. Who needs them?

Finally, if there is any place in the world where women "fail to receive a fair deal" it is the Vatican, ridden with hidebound misogynists and celibate (or not so celibate) bigots and bishops!

Newt Gingrich concerned God-lover

Heh, heh. You gotta laugh. Newt Gingrich is running around pretending he cares about religion, Jesus Christ, who saved his worthless soul, ethics, morals, and the danger of our country going SECULAR!

The is the same asshat who worked to impeach President Clinton for lying while he was simultaneously carrying on an affair with a woman who would become his THIRD wife!


Rob Boston, at Talk 2 Action, eviscerates Gingrich the clown, in an article entitled "He's Baaaaaack!: Newt Gingrich Slithers Out From Under A Rock - Again."

Evidently, old Newt gave an interview to a U.S. News & World Report blogger by name of Dan Gilgoff and Gilgoff wondered why Gingrich was fiddling around with Religious Right causes when he has never been much concerned about Religious Right stuff before.

Newt said: "'I think it's that the overtness of the assault on religious liberty has risen dramatically. It was the 9th Circuit Court's decision [in 2002] that was the last straw.' (Gingrich is referring here to the infamous "under God" case.) He added, 'It's time to challenge head-on secular domination in the West.'"

Newt's worried about his grandchildren who might end up living in a godless society that has kicked God out of public schools and "are now antireligious centers of propaganda."

We're in a crisis, says old Newt. Yup. The secularists are coming. God is leaving. Omigod!


Well, we all know Newt is full of crap. Always has been, and always will be. He's got the morals and ethics of a snake.

Boston, I think, puts his finger on the real issue: Gingrich is looking to reincarnate himself as some kind of political leader. So he's climbed in bed (again) with the Religious Right, thinking he needs the support of the ungodly godly to get wherever it is he wants to go.

Boston says, "Part of Gingrich's new crusade, of course, is to save us from those pesky gays who would destroy marriage by seeking the right to get married themselves. Newt as the savior of marriage? That is rich.

"Remember, this is the guy who told his first wife he was divorcing her while she was in the hospital recovering from cancer. In 1999, he dumped his second wife for a congressional aid 23 years his junior, a woman, who according to some accounts, he had been involved with since 1993. Newt's so pro-marriage he's had three of them!"


And that's only part of the Newt Gingrich story of moral and ethical collapse. That anyone would take this clown seriously is beyond belief! Somebody should read to him the Constitution, too, so that he might realize this is, indeed, a secular nation and was meant to be so from the very beginning.

Oh, one last thing: Newt also pretends to be an historian! Heh. Heh.
