In an effort to promote The Sanctity of Hymens, the Blessed Virgin Mary Mother of God who never once yelled “Yes!” while some disgusting pig man was sliding the whole thing into her poontang, She, in Her Mercy, has caused a green seedless grape to rot and begin smelling like an unpenetrated hymen to inspire virginity among undocumented agricultural harvesters who pick grapes to give praise to Jeebus. At least that is what they are saying.

Usually grapes are just food, people eat them. Of course grapes can also be used to make wine if you do not have any deity around to auto-convert fluoridated city water into wine for you. But in this startling case a woman that was not even afflicted with Roman Catholic religious delusions discovered this unmistakable message from a fictional virgin believed to be the virginal mother of a half god half man edible deity. Becky Ginn of Arlington Texas suffers from Baptist-flavor religious delusions, and is not a Catholic at all. But apparently Ms Ginn does believe that virgin women can have babies without the direct intervention of a fertility doctor.

The grapes were rotten, and Ms Ginn was about to throw them in the trash, when she recognized on one rotten grape the image of a woman she had never met. It’s funny that nobody who has never met regular people recognizes their image on a grape. It seems that a person needs to have a perfectly virginal and unpenetrated hymen before grape appearances become possible.

Much can be said about the amazing visual pattern recognition skills of Ms Ginn, most people would not be so easily able to recognize a person they had never met or even seen in an actual photograph.

Let this grape serve as an inspiration for all undocumented immigrant farm workers who pick grapes for below minimum wages and are constantly in fear of some Republican candidate exploiting their marginal situation for political gain, and let the lesson be - save the rotten grapes to sell on eBay.

In a desperate attempt to create Special Rights™ for Fundamentalists suffering from a wide range of religious delusions to decide who may and may not be married, plans have been made for one million lawn signs to be posted in California yards late in September supporting faith based anti-gay bigotry Proposition 8. Since this ballot measure would restrict existing civil rights and promote bigotry and intolerance, it is universally supported by Party of Jesus legislators.
(story)

The measure, which is certain to be defeated, would give Christians and persons suffering from other ludicrous religious delusions the right to dictate their farcical beliefs to all persons, even people not suffering from any religious delusions at all. By enshrining anti-gay measures directly into the Constitution of the State of California they hope to preserve the Sanctity of Bigotry, a primary tenet of Party of Jesus dogma.

Fundamentalists don’t seem to be able to grasp the concept that gay marriage is 100% optional. Just because people suffering from preposterous ancient superstitions have the legal right to marry a same sex partner, this does not indicate they are required to do so. People who do not like gay marriage are already free to not marry a same sex person. This ballot measure would not give anyone rights they do not have already, instead it would let bigots decide who may and may not have equal rights under the law.

Proponents of bigotry and intolerance in California have been receiving funds from out of state agitators who are not satisfied with just promoting bigotry in their own communities, but feel the need to export their intolerance as if they were some sort Islamic Mullahs dictating to the whole world.

By continuing to promote bigotry and intolerance, people suffering from religious delusions lay bare the hatred and intolerance that lies at the core of all monotheistic authoritarian religious delusions. This lesson is not lost on young people. Kids that have gay friends, gay classmates, gay parents, and or gay siblings see right through this last ditch effort to enshrine 15th century religious imperialism into the fundamental legal foundation of California. Not only will Proposition 8 fail, it will accelerate the decline of the Party of Jesus in California. Not that we mind.

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.

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.

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.

Today the McBush Campaign released an attack ad comparing Barack Obama and Britney Spears, but our research suggests that Britney Spears has much more in common with Senator McBush than she does with Barack Obama.

• Both John McBush and Britney Spears support the Sanctity of Marriage
• Both John McBush and Britney Spears are divorced
• Both John McBush and Britney Spears have expressed their support for George Warcriminal Bush
