Some ::MIGHTY FIST SHAKING:: stories for you all

I'd rather go to any and every Hell than go to Mormon heaven. (h/t newredshoes)

Seriously, Mormons: knock that shit off. You're officially on notice that if you try to baptize any more people posthumously, against their will, I will dig up Joseph Smith's corpse and stomp it into little bits, which I will then feed to a pig, whose shit I will then press into communion wafers and sell to you. You want to eat your ancestors, go ahead. Leave everyone else's the fuck alone.

Note to Judeo-Christianity: All your religions are as stupid as this one.

If you don't want your park littered with religiosity, DON'T START BY PUTTING THAT SHIT THERE IN THE FIRST PLACE. They can't have a leg to stand on, right? Even Evil!SCOTUS as we currently have must recognize that this is bullshit...right?

Goodbye Southern Strategy?

I doubt it. These things go in cycles, and we'll have maybe forty years of progressive policies if the trends are to be believed, and then the South will have a resurgence. (It always rises again, as we know.) It won't be white, though it will probably still be conservative. However, if we are so blessed as to have even four years of not having to listen to Suh-thuh-ners dictate how the rest of us are going to hell for not hating people and loving Jeebus enough, that's a welcome relief.

I thought that was the lawsuit they were bringing?

It wasn't very clear, though, how the city was justifying it. First it was, well, this is a donation and we don't have to accept donations that don't reflect our character. But when that means promoting one religion over another, they're like, "Nuh-uh, this is just promoting city history because the donation came from this civic group that's been here forever." Except they hadn't...

It's like Sarah Palin trying to weasel her way out of anything. "No, it never happened. If it happened, it didn't happen like you think it did. Well, parts of it happened like you think it did, but I had a really good reason for what I did to make it happen. It's not my fault, this thing that absolutely didn't happen."

For some reason, the one thing I keep thinking about is that the Ten Commandments monument was donated by the Fraternal Order of Eagles. I keep picturing a whole bunch of birds presenting the monument to the city leaders. :-P

"We're not backing any one religion here, it's just that this statue is ergonomically constructed for those of us with perching tendencies! Pyramids have no such concessions to the needs of our feet."

Ok, so I looked up the Fraternal Order of Eagles (F.O.E). The weird thing, they were all like proto-hippies, made up of people in the performing arts, and claim they were the ones who initiated Mother's Day. If that doesn't speak for a group that would be totally OK with another weird religious monument, I don't know what does. FOE! :-P
