Religion, The Card Game!

Move over 'Yu-Gi-Oh!', stand back 'Magic! The Gathering' and hold onto your balls 'Pokémon', there's a new game in town!
Whilst bouncing merrily across the information superhighway I came across this fun little link.

Orgasmic Sacrilegious Montage

In celebration of International Blasphemy Day, an appropriately irreverent video from YouTube user DarkMatter 2525:

Closer than you'd think

'[I]f you thought creationism was too farfetched to be taken seriously here in the UK, just take a day trip to Noah’s Ark Zoo Farm in Somerset' writes Caspar Melville in the latest issue of New Humanist. I particularly like the 'Creation Research' part - hard to believe this place is endorsed by many public bodies, including BIAZA: the British and Irish Association of Zoos and Aquariums, South West Tourism, Destination Bristol, Tourism Attractions Alliance, the National Farmers Union, Country Land and Business Association, Nailsea Chamber of Trade, British Camelid Association, Avon Farming and the Wildlife Advisory Group. One can only assume that owners Anthony and Christina Bush are kinder to the animals they keep than they are to Darwin.

Deicide (No, not the band)

'Award-winning comedian Tommy Tiernan has been "floored by a belt of the crozier" for allegedly making offensive remarks about the Holocaust' writes John Cooney in today's edition of the Irish Independent. The criticism came in the form of an outburst by Archbishop of Dublin Diarmuid Martin at the end of Mass last night in Bray, where, without mentioning Tiernan by name, Archbishop Martin commented that remarks attributed to an Irish comedian were "offensive to the Jewish community and offensive to all who feel revulsion concerning the Holocaust, one of the most horrific events in human history". Tiernan was reported to have made the following remarks during an interview at Electric Picnic earlier this month: "F**king Christ-killing bastards... F**k six million? I would have got ten or twelve million out of that".

Now, leaving aside the massive irony of a senior member of the Catholic church trying to smear anyone's name in relation to the Holocaust (your predecessors weren't so vocal in 1941 your worship), let's have a closer look at what Tommy Tiernan, a comedian well-known for making outrageous and provocative statements both onstage and off, is actual saying here. Not that he'd kill twelve-million Jews for their inferior racial qualities, say, or because they are part of an international conspiracy to control the world's wealth, or any other ludicrous reason but this one - they 'killed Christ'. Sound familiar? That's right folks, seems that Tommy is actually making a very valid point about the stupidity (and hilariousness) of the charge of deicide. No wonder the Archbishop was upset - after all, it would be very bad for their image if people were being reminded that it took the Catholic church nineteen centuries to admit this claim was bogus.

Also, The Cranberries! Up the Irish! :)

For those of you who don't already know...

...some enterprising folks are putting the domain name catholic.ie to very good use.

Regrettably, irishcatholic.ie was already taken.

Wait a minute...

...wasn't the world supposed to end yesterday?

The sad thing is, somebody somewhere is pissed off that it didn't...
