I am a Priest, I fuck little boys, how was I supposed to know I was doing wrong?

That, seemingly is the attitude of a German Roman Catholic priest, known only as Andreas L.

Sexual assaults were made on the three boys in various settings: at the priest’s house, on skiing holidays, in a parental home, on a trip to Disneyland Paris and at a church shortly before Mass.

(…)

The priest said it had not been his intention to get close to the boy sexually, and that it had never occurred to him that he was doing harm.

“It was never my impression that the children did not consent,” the priest was quoted as saying at the trial.

Yes, you read it right. How can a man be so self unaware, so lacking in understanding?

Just what DO they teach priests? What happened to religion being the source of all morality? Most people know that fucking children is wrong. Those who don’t become priests.

Spot the difference.

 

CASE ONE

Richard O’Dwyer, 23 operated a web site listing places where films and TV programmes could be illegally downloaded.

His site did not store copyright material itself and merely pointed users to other sites, in the same way that Google and Yahoo operate. And yes, Yahoo and Google will also point you to sites such as dl4all and Pirate Bay.

What he did is not illegal under British law.

District Judge Quentin Purdy said the extradition could go ahead, saying there were ‘said to be direct consequences of criminal activity by Richard O’Dwyer in the U.S. albeit by him never leaving the North of England’.

Richard O’Dwyer news story.

 

CASE TWO

Turkey has sought  extradition of Sarah Ferguson after a Turkish court accused her of "breaking the law in acquiring footage and violating the privacy of five children" while making the documentary in 2008, Turkey’s Anatolian news agency said.

Ferguson, the former wife of Queen Elizabeth’s second son Prince Andrew, posed as a potential charitable donor to visit state orphanages in Turkey and Romania, followed by hidden cameras, to highlight poor conditions at rehabilitation centres for mentally handicapped children.

What she did is not illegal under British law.

Britain’s Home Office (interior ministry) said in a statement "The Home Office can confirm it has received a formal request for mutual legal assistance concerning Sarah, Duchess of York. It is not appropriate to comment further."

A ministry source said there was no question of the Duchess being extradited to Turkey. "It has to be an offence in both the countries’ laws. It’s not an offense in U.K. law, so the duchess won’t be extradited," the source told Reuters.

 

So, what’s the difference in these two cases?

Is it a case of wealth and privilege providing protection?

Or is it a case of tugging the forelock in America’s direction and knocking of the Turkish fez?

Something to consider

“If all atheists left the USA, it would lose 93% of the National Academy of Sciences but less than 1% of the prison population.”

So, tell me again how religion is the source of morality.

Forward to the Past with Pope Ignoramus CCLXV

Many prior Popes were no more or less ignorant than their flocks, being simply men of their times. They had the same knowledge of how the world worked as the generally educated in the community.

Later Popes became better educated, but much knowledge was suppressed from general knowledge in order that the church be the font f all wisdom.

From the Renaissance to the Reformation, from the Industrial Revolution and the Enlightenment, knowledge became greater, education began to build a class of free thinkers and enquirers whilst the Papacy clung to its role as myth maker and preserver.

Now we are blessed with a Pope who would wind the clock back 500 years, who would take from us all the knowledge Man has gained, and see us enslaved again.

A picture worth a thousand words

What would a good parent do?

 

What would you do if you saw your child in danger?

What if your son was about to run in front of a truck. Would you stand by and watch, or would you grab hold of your son and pull him to safety?

What would you do if your daughter was about to eat a poison mushroom? Would you sit by and watch, or would you slap it from her hand?

I know what I would do, I would take all possible steps to protect my child.

So, what sort of parent is God?

When Eve was about to bite from the apple, God knew that her doing so would bring about her ultimate death and the death of everyone of her descendants. And before they died, they would live a life of pain and struggle.

So, what did God do? Did he slap the apple from Eve’s hand and save her life and the lives of all her descendants?

No, God sat back on a comfy cloud, surrounded by his sycophantic angels and laughed “Look, she’s got it. She’s got the apple. She’s going to take a bite. Oh, this is going to be so much fucking fun. YES! She bit the apple!”

And thus began the tale of woe that his human history, until a few brave Men stood up to God and began to use their intellect and their reson to begin minimising and eliminating the woe and grief.

So, is God a good parent? No, he is un uncaring parent, unworthy of the role and his children should be taken in to care.

Thought of the day

 

 

For god so loved the world that he sent Charles Darwin to explain it.

Charred Charlie Hebdo

This is the cartoon that "Charlie Hebdo" ran and that is supposedly the prime mover for their offices being firebombed.

The magazine has now renamed itself “Charia Hebdo”.

For those who don’t read French, the bubble says “100 lashes if you don’t die of laughter”.

Religion is like a penis

It’s fine to have one.

It’s fine to be proud of it.

But please don’t whip it out in public and wave it around.

And please, please, do not try to stuff it down children’s throats.
