Oh, the things you learn when blogging …

Thursday, August 7, 2008

WE have always been aware that Judaism – or at least the more progressive, or reformed brand of the faith – has a wonderful ability not to take itself too seriously.
But what we did not realise that Jews even allow their sense of fun to extend to their pets.
Hence we find that you [...]

Green’s latest protest – like his petition – was a complete washout

Tuesday, August 5, 2008

POOR Stephen “Birdshit” Green. There’s so little around these days to cheer up the miserable bigot, who looks about to be bankrupted for sticking in nose in where it didn’t belong.
On Saturday, a bedraggled and deranged-looking Green, together with a pathetically small band of damp, sodomy-obsessed Christian “witnesses,” clustered under a grey, drizzly sky in [...]

‘Kermit’ croaks on a cross – and Catholics are hopping mad

Sunday, August 3, 2008

THERE was outrage back in May when the Bolzano museum of modern art in Italy acquired a sculpture by the late German artist Martin Kippenberger depicting a frog on a cross.

Local bishop Wilhelm Egger moaned:
The crucified frog has shocked many visitors and has hurt their religious feelings. Even if this was not the intention of [...]

South Wales Echo caves in to Christian bigots – petition the paper to retract its shameful apology

Thursday, July 31, 2008

OUR jellyfish prize this week for spineless grovelling must to go to the South Wales Echo, which has buckled under pressure from a bunch of vindictive bigots over a piece it published by Dan O’Neill.
Cynical Dragon reported yesterday that the paper has issued this apology to the handful of Christian Voice wankers who picketed its [...]

Good News for Christians about oral sex … oh and threesomes, buggery and masturbation!

Monday, July 21, 2008

WHILST regaling ourselves reading the comments on “Birdshit” Green’s online petition, we stumbled across this intriguing reaction from Malcolm Stinker (No 1,316):
I am appalled by some comments left on this website making out that Christians are a bunch of medieval reactionaries more interested in sticking our noses into other people’s sex lives than in leading [...]

Blasphemy heads for oblivion in Ireland

Sunday, July 13, 2008

MORE bad news for the Catholic Church in Ireland, which has suffered a number of setbacks in this increasingly sceptical country: the offence of blasphemy is likely to be dropped from the Irish Constitution.
According to the Irish Independent, the joint committee on the Constitution said last Friday that changes to the Constitution in the areas [...]

A little fun for the weekend

Saturday, July 12, 2008

THE zany story that broke this week about the hijacking in Florida of a Jesus cracker – or Corpus Crispie – and the fear of Catholics that it might be “abused” by its kidnapper – got us wondering what indignities Freethinker readers might heap on a blessed Eucharist, should they ever decide to take one [...]

Gay Jesus porn movie approved by British censors

Saturday, July 5, 2008

THE British Board of Film Censors – no longer hamstrung by “blasphemy” concerns now that this “crime” has been abolished in the UK – has approved, without cuts, a pornographic film called Passio. It has been given an R18 rating.
Featuring Danny Fox as a homosexual Jesus, Passio – full title: Passio: Domini Nostri Secundum Matthaeum [...]

God leaves Stephen Green up shit creek

Friday, June 27, 2008

Stephen “Birdshit” Green thought he was doing God’s work when he tried unsuccessfully to prosecute the BBC for blasphemy after it screened Jerry Springer: The Opera.
But his God evidently thought otherwise, for Green now faces bankruptcy over legal fees incurred as a result of his vindictive action.
Green’s website reveals that he has been saddled with [...]

Blasphemy’s dead, so sod you God!

Sunday, June 22, 2008

LIGHTNING failed to strike Terry Sanderson when he said rude things about Jehovah, rubbished his bastard son Jesus, and maligned the mad paedophile “prophet” Mohammed.
Sir Ian McKellen, who “survived an evangelical upbringing” did not turn to dust when he confessed to vandalising Bibles in hotel bedrooms by tearing out the pages of Leviticus.
And comedian Robin [...]
