Logic and Religion Just Don't Mix

Via Will Wilkinson (and by extension Andrew Sullivan):



So, let me get this straight: If you believe God has abandoned you, no one gives a damn about you and thus you should just probably end it all, you worthless shit. Further, Christ--according to Matthew 27:46--exclaimed "My God, My God! Why hast thou forsaken me?" which would lead me to believe that God didn't care about Jesus, and therefore I am under moral obligation to also not care about Jesus.

Q.E.D.

Apparently, my heathen ass sides with God on this one. Who knew?

How Bad is Life in Your Country

When you'll risk death to get to Iran?

Taliban forces in Afghanistan meted out their brand of Sharia justice this week by executing a 19-year-old woman and 21-year-old-man for the crime of wanting to elope. The couple were shot by a firing squad before witnesses.

The couple was going to try to get to Iran but may have been turned over by their parents or neighbors.


If you follow the link Turley provides, the girl was 14 and the boy was 17. What makes this worse? They were probably turned in by their parents.

You can take your cultural relativism and shove it up your ass. This is just wrong. Yay Freedom.

Afternoon Dance Party: Presidential Protocol Edition

Since Obama seems to have forgotten American presidents don't bow to monarchs, (or oligarchs, depending on your views on the House of Saud), I thought I'd send a little shout-out to the supplicant-in-chief (NSFW):



(For some reason, I can't find it on SeeqPod, so YouTube it is.)

New World Order

Iowa Officially More Progressive than California

Expected gay migration from San Francisco to Des Moines:

The Iowa Supreme Court this morning unanimously upheld gays’ right to marry.

“The Iowa statute limiting civil marriage to a union between a man and a woman violates the equal protection clause of the Iowa Constitution,” the justices said in a summary of their decision.

The court rules that gay marriage would be legal in three weeks, starting April 24.
In other news, stocks in tasteless "cornhole" jokes are skyrocketing; expected fashion resurgence for flannel and bib overalls; and new gaydar technology being tweaked for urban migrants to differentiate lesbians from farmers' wives.
