A new record of insanity

Islamic cleric bans women from touching bananas, cucumbers for sexual resemblance

The unnamed sheikh, who was featured in an article on el-Senousa news, was quoted saying that if women wish to eat these food items, a third party, preferably a male related to them such as their a father or husband, should cut the items into small pieces and serve.

And since men are not supposed to serve women, these food items are not likely to be available... sigh!

Male Circumcision

How Christian...

Fringe US religious group to picket Edwards funeral

In their announcement, the Westboro Baptist Church called John Edwards a "whorish" and "faithless" husband, and accused Elizabeth Edwards of "spewing blasphemy" because she said she was not praying to God to save her from cancer. [source]

Picketing someone's funeral just because she did not pray to the missing god for her cancer? What a bunch of idiots.

The recipe of violence

This is troubling. Teaching children that violence is OK if you are the authority. This is just wrong.

Magic Mormon Underwear

I know god

I find it disgusting when someone tells me that s/he knows god, especially so when follows by you don't know god.

What exactly does s/he know? The way god dresses? whether god is having a cough or not?

How exactly does s/he know? In dream? god presents in front of him/her? during hallucination?

Bible verses inscribed on scopes used by U.S. forces in Iraq, Afghanistan

Combat rifle sights used by U.S. forces in Iraq and Afghanistan carry references to Bible verses. [source]

Here comes the prove of a modern Christian crusade. WTF!

Solar-powered bibles

Solar-power bibles are self-powered and can broadcast the bible everywhere to 300 people at a time. That's great use of Science.

600 of these are on their way to Haiti - the earthquake damaged city of Port-au-Prince.

Would not sending water, food, medicine, doctors, shelter, security, etc. make more sense?
