Religious Absurdity – Page 5

And it's something that the rabid right-wing Xtianists do with extreme aplomb. Following the hate-the-homos parts of Leviticus are fine, but everything else is safely ignored.

Frankly, I don't believe half these idiots have even read their so-called "holy" book.

Quote of the Day

"The churches used to win their arguments against atheism, agnosticism, and other burning issues by burning the ismists, which is fine proof that there is a devil but hardly evidence that there is a God." ~ Benjamin Barr Lindsey (1869-1943), American judge and social reformer

France Declares Scientology a Scam

Well duh!

From Joe.My.God. (I especially like Joe's final comment. Emphasis mine.)

Now if we could only get this kind of ruling here.

A French court has slapped a fraud sentence on the Church of Scientology, saying it targets vulnerable people for commercial gain. The ruling is a major setback for Scientologists in France, and it marks the first time here that the Church of Scientology has been convicted of organized fraud. The development puts its famous recruitment methods under a spotlight. Scientologists vehemently reject the conviction, saying that they are the victims of anti-cult organizations trying to destroy them. "Respect my religion," chanted several dozen Scientologists, braving sub-zero temperatures in the front of a courthouse in Paris.

But really, France. How different are alien spaceships and soul volcanoes from water-walking zombies and talking shrubberies?
