Describing the fanatical mind

You simply don't let a written line of this level of magnificence go unrecognized.
The expression “humanist theocracy” (or “atheocracy”, as SUZANNE so nitwittedly puts it) is a contradiction that would only make sense to someone whose logic circuits were rotten with syphilis or fried by religious fanaticism.

Well done, JJ!! Just before I snorted coffee out of my nose, I was thinking about how it's time I got a new keyboard.

Life imitates art in Ohio

Didn't all this play out in a Hollywood musical a long time ago?
A student at a fundamentalist Baptist school that forbids dancing, rock music, hand-holding and kissing will be suspended if he takes his girlfriend to her public high school prom, his principal said.

Despite the warning, 17-year-old Tyler Frost, who has never been to a dance before, said he plans to attend Findlay High School's prom Saturday.

Right. Now I remember.

Florida fundies want their own licence plate


Because nothing says "I'm not really speeding, officer. I'm just in a rush to get to the Rapture."
Religious specialty plates offered by Sen. Ronda Storms, R-Valrico, and Sen. Gary Siplin, D-Orlando, made it onto a bill Friday even though many members had not seen images of those plates and none were produced for the debate.

Does this mean, like for all religions?
Siplin didn't mince words when asked what his ''Trinity'' plate looks like, saying: ``It has a picture of my Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.''

It, along with a ''Preserving the Past'' plate offered by Siplin, would benefit the Toomey Foundation for the Natural Sciences.

Storms' ''I Believe'' plate would benefit Faith in Teaching, an Orlando company that funds faith-based programs at schools. The design features a cross over a stained-glass window.

Oh... right. Just that religion.

Several members had concerns about approving plates they had not seen.
Don't those members have any... faith in Storms and Siplin? It doesn't matter that nobody had seen it - Storm and Siplin haven't seen their god either.

Blue Gal puts it to the test.
