Church and State, Greed and Hate

A majority of US citizens, including an increasing number of Republicans and conservatives, have expressed their desire to keep religion out of politics. If ever a survey brought music to our ears, this is the musical one.

Perhaps it is the 8 year reign of our compulsive liar war criminal Glorious Christian Leader that has opened the eyes of the American people. Perhaps they are tired of hypocritical Fundamentalists spreading hatred and division as if it were holiness and justice.

Maybe the good citizens of this nation remember how gung ho all of the Christian leaders were for our war of imperialist aggression based on a pack of lies about Iraq.

Certainly whenever a government is considering doing something evil, like endorsing slavery, promoting bigotry, or legislating homophobia; religion is right there cheering on the hatred.

In a 63-page report out today the Pew Forum on Religion & Public Life found that 50 percent of conservatives now believe that churches and other houses of worship should stay out of politics. Four years ago, only 30 percent agreed. Across the entire political spectrum, 52 percent of voters said churches should keep out of politics. Forty-five percent said they should express their views.

Whatever the hard earned lessons that are turning back the tide of Jeebus-brand theocracy in America, we cheer this happy trend on. Congratulations to our fellow Americans, let's hear it for separation of church and state. The people in Iran should be so lucky.

Jesus Loses Again in Unanimous CA Supreme Court

Ruling on a case in which a Jeebus-brand bigoted California doctor refused to provide fertility services to a lesbian couple, the California Supreme Court has rendered a unanimous decision that even Jeebus bigot doctors who vote Republican are required to provide exactly the same services to their queer patients as they do for people that are not queer. The justices did allow bigots to get another doctor in their medical group to provide services which their religious stupidity or other form of bigotry opposes.

Since Christianity is all about having bad people to feel holier than, the decision comes as another serious loss for their Imaginary Bearded Sky Daddy and his Jeebus manifestation.

The decision stemmed from a lawsuit filed by Guadalupe T. Benitez, a lesbian who lives with her partner in Oceanside, a coastal city 35 miles north of San Diego, and wanted to become pregnant with donated sperm.

Benitez contended that Dr. Christine Brody, an obstetrician at the North Coast Women's Care Medical Group, told her that her religious views prevented her from performing an intrauterine insemination on a lesbian.

Another physician at the clinic, Dr. Douglas Fenton, told Benitez that the staff was uncomfortable helping her conceive a child and advised her to find a doctor outside the medical group, Benitez said.

(Boston Globe)

We applaud this decision by the California Supreme Court, just as we continue to express our overwhelming contempt for hatred, intolerance, and bigotry dressed up in a pretty religious costume.

Just say NO to ridiculous ancient drivel created by warmongering mid-east genocidal tribes.

Californians Oppose Jeebus-Brand Anti-Gay Ballot Measure

Posted on July 18th, 2008 by Ungodly.

The most recent Field Poll on the subject of the Jeebus-brand anti-gay marriage constitutional bigotry amendment shows that a vast majority of registered California voters oppose bigotry even when it is wearing a pretty Jeebus dress.

The Traditional Values Coalition, and in particular the lying bastard Lou Sheldon, are welcome to roll up this poll and smoke it. Or they could use this news for other recreational purposes, including ones that might involve sitting on something. As a matter of fact I bet you can guess where Lou is welcome to shove it. Of course the TVC is only one of the bigotry sources trying once again to sell the Fear of a Queer Planet as if it was something to worry about.

The days when you could paint the word Jeebus on a pile of vile bigotry and sell it to people are, fortunately, long gone.

A very large percentage of people in California are personally acquainted with one or more gay or lesbian couples who have become married in the last 2 months. Not a single person in California has suffered any harm at all, not even a hangnail, as a result of gay marriage. The fact is that equal rights equal equal rights. It is the Fundamentalist bigots who are seeking Special Rights®, in particular they want to have the right to decide who can get married and who can not.

Well, it is too late, their tired old rhetoric has become tired and old, just like their fairy tales about an Imaginary Bearded Sky Daddy.

I'd like to thank my fellow citizens of California for taking a stand against bigotry and intolerance. You guys rock!

And Lou, there is still plenty of time to sit on it. Too bad about the Sanctity of Bigotry. Poor little thing.

Game over. Jeebus loses again.

Epic Fail: Bigots for Jebus Lose in Kern County, California

A bigots for Jebus group, The Campaign for Children and Families, has failed in their pathetically stupid attempt to get the Kern County Commisioners to issue an illegal ban on gay marriage.

Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha. Jesus loses AGAIN. If their Imaginary Bearded Sky Daddy wasn't so completely fictitious maybe he would be able to do something. But the 2,000 year old fairy tales used to justify their homophobic bigotry are complete and utter fiction, from vengeful genocidal holy war to deity-sponsored rape, it's all just ugly, stupid and make relieve.

Losers.

Supervisors declined to act on the measure after Bernard Barmann, the county's lawyer, said it would be illegal for the county to adopt its own same-sex marriage ban.

Won't anybody think about the bigots?

Two Anti-Gay Preachers Busted for Soliciting Gay Sex

Posted on July 5th, 2008 by Fagnit.

First we have a case in Milwaukee, Wisconsin where the bitter cold winter is over and people are going to the parks. An anti-gay homophobe for Jesus Fundamentalist Christian preacher was arrested in a police sting operation aimed at men soliciting sex in a public park. Police say after church at the Holy Redeemer Church of God in Christ on Sunday afternoon, he was arrested and charged with lewd and lascivious behavior at Milwaukee's Estabrook Park.

The mayor of District Heights, Maryland, James L. Walls Jr., was arrested April 24th in the District after allegedly offering an undercover male police officer $40 for sex in a known prostitution area, authorities said. He also serves as an associate minister at the Forestville New Redeemer Baptist Church. Note the association with the most virulently homophobic and bigoted mainstream religious denomination in America, the Baptists. De Nile is not just a river in Egypt.

These types of stories are increasingly common, and the reason this sort of thing happens is very easy to understand. The common Christian claptrap that homosexuality is a choice is completely and utterly false. Consider these two points.

• Homosexuality is an immutable characteristic of a minority of human beings. People that are gay simply are gay, there is no escaping this fact.
• When a person tries to deny a very basic fact about themselves, one that is tied very, very deeply to their emotional life, the truth will eventually bubble up to the surface and be manifested in actions.

If Deacon Pitchford and James L. Walls, Jr. had not been so urgently compelled to deny the truth about themselves, then their sexuality would not have needed to come out (pun intended) in a manner that is illegal and frowned upon by society. They could have gone to a gay bar, or a gay dating website, if they were not terrified of the truth about themselves.

I honestly do feel some sympathy for these men, they were not big players in the Jeebus Industry, earning a living by demonizing innocent citizens. These guys were just junior preachers who unfortunately decided to put reality in the closet in favor of superstitious fairy tales.

Both of these men would be better served by accepting the reality that they are gay, and rejecting the Sanctity of Bigotry that is so much a part of Christianity in America today. Just say NO to idiotic interpretations of completely fictitious ancient fairy tales.

Atheist Fag in California Gay Marriage

Posted on June 27th, 2008 by Fagnit.
Categories: Jeebus Loses Again.

Your Atheist Fag blogger is pleased to announce that he was married to his long time partner in Unholy Matrimony at the Riverside County Clerk's offices in Indio California. Woo hoo! C'est moi on the right. From now on whenever I refer to him as my husband I will not need to use quotes.

After nearly 12 years as a couple, our relationship now has the same legal status as the relationships of our heterosexual neighbors.

Preacher Who Advocated Murder of Homos Loses Again in Court

Posted on June 5th, 2008 by Fagnit.

A Jeebus-loving professional hatemonger preacher has had the appeal of his lawsuit turned down as frivolous by the Wisconsin State Supreme Court. The Rev. Grant Storms of New Orleans sued Action Wisconsin after it excerpted a 2003 speech he made in Milwaukee on "homo-fascism" in the city, which the group said revealed his advocating the murder of gays. In his homophobic hate filled Christian tirade the preacher had made noises like gunfire while talking about shooting homosexual persons, no doubt in order to spread The Good News.

In addition to losing the case, the preacher who advocated cold-blooded murder was also forced to pay the court costs of the gay group he sued in the original case, the first appeal, and the supreme court appeal, his legal bills now amount to $120,000 and he still does not have one dead homo for his trophy room.

According to court records:

Timothy O'Brien, president of the Madison-based Action Wisconsin, became concerned when he learned the nature of the comments made and that state Sen. Tom Reynolds (R-West Allis) had attended the conference. O'Brien said he purchased tapes of the speeches from the church group's Web site.

O'Brien said in a press release that Storms' comments advocated the murder of gays, something Storms denied.

Storms, who hosts a talk show on a New Orleans radio station, considers himself a Christian activist and has protested what he calls "the homosexual agenda." And now, according to the Wisconsin Supreme Court, he's a loser too.

Ohio Republican Possibly More Batshit Crazy than Sally Kern

Posted on May 31st, 2008 by Fagnit.

An Ohio Party of Jesus legislator may be trying to steal the Batshit Crazy Tiara from famous Oklahoma lunatic Sally Kern.

When someone pushed his crazy response button by mentioning a bill pending in the Ohio legislature that would outlaw discrimination in housing and employment against gays and lesbians, Wagner responded with a typical Fundamentalist Disorder psychotic rant.

“[T]his is a dangerous and misguided bill. The bill is not really about people being denied rights to basic needs, but it is about promoting acceptance of an immoral lifestyle. As much as some people would have us to believe otherwise, this country was founded on Christian principles. One of those long honored principles is the tradition of holy matrimony. One man and one woman joined together in a union that goes as far back as Adam and Eve. As our society has gotten further from that standard (not just homosexuality, but easy divorce, cheating on a spouse, etc.) we see a continued collapse of the basic building block of society the family unit. As that traditional family erodes, we see more sexually transmitted diseases, kids without parents, heartbroken people and I believe a host of mental and physical illnesses. . . . rest assured I can not support a bill in any way promotes or encourages the homosexual lifestyle.�

So apparently this bill, which outlaws denying employment or shelter to people just because they are gay or lesbian, is not about denying employment or shelter to people just because they are gay or lesbian. It must be about promoting divorce, distributing STDs, the Founding Fathers of our great nation, and adultery (which in Ohio is strictly a heterosexual sin, teh geys can not get teh matrimony). Gays are clearly responsible for all of the problems of modern society, including Representative Wagner's mental illness.

It is interesting to note that 100% of the batshit crazy legislators who have a magic button used to produce a psychotic rant, 100% of these loonies are members of the Party of Jesus.

When the Republican Party accepted the marriage proposal, years ago, from the most rabidly right-wing Fundamentalist nutters, they brought insanity into the Party of Jesus candidate gene pool.

As more and more crazy Fundamentalist nutters compete with the likes of Sally Kern, more and more sane human beings are driven away from the Party of Jesus. It seems as if, in the long run, Democracy may win out by giving larger megaphones to the crazy nutters that seek to sow hatred and bigotry into the fabric of our lives. This one is certainly, undeniably a nutter!

Fairy Tale Based Bigotry Poised To Take Another Hit in California

Posted on May 29th, 2008 by Fagnit.

Based on the questions asked by the Justices of the California Supreme Court, it looks like some whining crybaby homophobic Christian bigot doctors in San Diego may soon have to wipe the intolerant smirks off their bigoted faces.

It seems that Jeebus wanted these doctors to marginalize, insult, and deny medical services to a lesbian couple who were seeking medical care available to any Christian. In order to justify their bigotry against gay and lesbian couples these doctors, who are obviously Republicans, rolled out the standard 2,000 year old fairy-tale based American Fundamentalist religious persecution claim. Yawn.

The California Supreme Court, which has had 6 of its 7 judges appointed by Republicans, has recently had it up to here with Jeebus-brand homophobic bigotry. It is starting to show. In this way the honorable justices clearly reflect the attitude of the good citizens of California.

The plaintiffs in this case are a lesbian couple who sought fertility treatment from doctors who refused to provide them with the medical care they sought simply because the doctors are bigoted Christian assholes. Of course they trotted out the 2,000 year old corpse of their Imaginary Bearded Sky Daddy to justify this crime. But it seems that the court does not wish to hear about their completely baseless superstitions.

One Supreme Court Justice, the honorable Carol A. Corrigan, pointed out that these bigots were running a business, noting that if they did not wish to perform certain procedures they could go into some other line of work. It is interesting to note that Justice Corrigan was one of the minority on the California Supreme Court who recently voted against the instantly infamous gay marriage ruling. Maybe these doctors would be more comfortable spewing their bigotry and intolerance on some unwatched UHF channel as professional TV evangelist morons.

Under existing California law it is not OK to deny public accommodations to any citizen simply because of their sexual orientation. Ancient superstitions do not trump the law. Fervently held intolerant views based on false assumptions and oft-repeated lies do not trump the law.

If the physicians in this case find that the laws in the state of California are too oppressive against their precious intolerance, they might enjoy living somewhere else, for example in a place where religious delusions do trump the law. Iran comes to mind. Or Somalia.

American Fundamentalists don't seem to have realized yet that the tide of human progress has now turned completely and finally against them, as the 21st century moves away from the intolerance and hatred that forms the core of all Fundamentalist delusions. As they continue in their attempts to marginalize and demonize innocent gay and lesbian citizens, they serve only to make fools and laughing stock of themselves. Everybody can see through their bigotry and deceptions. Nobody is fooled, including as of yesterday one of the most staunchly conservative and pro-Republican justices on our California Supreme Court.

Nobody is persecuting these fools, if they do not wish to practice medicine they are free to stand on street corners in raggedy old clothes loudly mouthing their spiteful bible verses a la schizophrenia. But if they want to run a business that is open to the public in the state of California, they must provide equal treatment to all citizens. It's the law.

New York State Moves Toward Destroying Sanctity of Bigotry

Posted on May 28th, 2008 by Fagnit.
Categories: Court Cases, Faith Based Bigotry, Homophobia, Sanctity of Bigotry.

New York State Governor David Paterson has ordered state agencies to prepare to honor gay marriages that have been performed in other jurisdictions, such as the states of California and Massachusetts, as well as the Great White North of Canada.

This order deals yet another body blow to the Sanctity of Bigotry. Who the heck will Fundamentalists be holier than once gay marriage is universally recognized? It's getting more and more difficult to be a hate mongering liar who campaigns against equal rights for gay people. But the Fundamentalists continue their campaigns for Special Rights they want to limit only to people like them.

Will New York or New Jersey be the next state to level the playing field for all loving couples? It won't be very long now.

Poor little Fundies, must go hide in corner and cry.
