I could if I wanted to.

If I wanted to use the word "kike" I could. Or "nigger" or "zipper head" of "dago" or any number of derogatory terms referring to a contingent of humanity. Our first amendment allows me this "right" to voice my opinion however I choose. But simply exercising my "right" to hate speech doesn't make it "right." Using these terms to describe people is wrong. The other day I called a man a girl and a cunt. One was a term he used to describe someone and the other was my own dig at his orientation. I was wrong to use those terms regardless of our liberties. This does not, however, change my opinion of this man. He's still despicable.

Miss California is free to believe

Sometimes people mistake their own individual beliefs for the morals of everyone. Perez Hilton is one of these people. OK, we get it, you're gay. And someone has maligned your petty beliefs by stating, in a public national forum, that they don't think like you. This woman, in fact, doesn't think like many of us. But we are a free country where she can think any way she likes. She is quite able to believe in marriage and religion any way she chooses. Mr. (Ms.?) Hilton asked this woman a deeply personal question with strong religious conviction and got an answer he (she?) didn't care for. It wasn't an answer he agrees with. Perez, you need to get your nose out of that shallow, celebrity-obsessed, uber-liberal hole in the ground and embrace the first amendment for all of it's parts. It is a part of our Constitution and Bill of Rights that has allowed you to spill your useless trash and become a financial well-off celebrity yourself. You see, Perez, it is YOU who are the cunt for disparaging this girl her first amendment rights while bathing in them for your own personal gain. Miss California is NOT an elected official using public office to legislate her own religious conviction onto the masses. She is a private citizen. She is a beauty pageant contestant. We all know these kinds of people shouldn't talk because their outsides are far more beautiful and smart than their insides, but who really watches these things for their cerebral challenges? If it is Perez Hilton, dare I say his outside is prettier than his inside. And that is frightening.

Filing for Divorce, is that allowed???

So Mel Gibson and his wife are divorcing. This is quite shocking coming from this particular camp. I'm not one for celebrity gossip but this juicy tidbit had me piqued. Why this one?

Mr. Gibson is a very strict catholic. He's been married for almost thirty years and has seven children, because that's what sex is for. And divorce for those as strict and pushy in his religion is frowned upon. Let's face it, he's against gay marriage and has been quite outspoken with his religious beliefs to the point of producing and paying for his own movie about Jesus. He's talked about the sanctity of marriage and the importance of christ in his life.

Now, he's also had trouble with alcohol abuse, bigotry, and now divorce. I'd venture to say "Yeah, his religion and the relationship he has with his god is pretty high on his list of priorities. and boy howdy does it show."

Another stellar example of religion done right. Could it be Ellen's marriage to Portia caused this?

Happy Easter?!

To all the godless christians who are so passionate about the pagan rituals surrounding this holiday, all the best this Easter Sunday.

Snake bite kits work.

They really do. Let's stick with the analogy and not discuss the other uses for these things, shall we? Snake bite kits contain little suction cups that are placed over the area of insertion and suck the venom out of the infected culprit. And it seems our judicial system is working in a similar fashion.

There was an article in Newsweek recently that shows a marked decline in the number of folks claiming religious affiliation. Today on MSNBC there is a story about religious groups losing lawsuits for discriminating against folks they simply don't like. The article quotes a religious leader claiming this as a lessening of religious freedom. Because nothing says religious freedom like the trampling of others and treating the "other" in society with less dignity than you would treat a house plant. That is exactly what Jesus would do, I suspect, treat people as though they were sewer sludge.

I read another article this week I found to be interesting also, though I don't have the link and I apologize. A Mexican family RE-converted to Judaism after centuries of familial catholocism. It seems the wonderfully loving and ever christ-like catholics of the Inquisition forced this family to convert to catholocism to save their immortal souls. How sweet is that? I can only imagine what Jesus-onian persuasion they used for this joyous occasion. I'm sure it was something soothing and with all the love they could muster. No pressure, really! And for this re-conversion the family had to jump through many, many, many hoops proving the past family's true religious affiliation and present commitment to the jewish faith. Another heart-warming story showing the true love religion offers the darkened hearts of the world.

But, thankfully, the practice of organized religion is waning. The vipers' poison is losing it's potency. We are on our way to true freedom and liberty. And eradicating this terrible, awful, no good scourge on society.

Have a fantastic easter weekend!

Our local NAMBLA guy chimes in

So the local High Holy leader of NAMBLA here in Chicago, Francis George, has chimed in on President Obama's impending visit to Notre Dame. This catholic university has invited our pro-choice president to deliver the commencement address to this year's graduates and some are none too happy. The biggest joke comes from Chicago's own pedophile connoisseur who is calling this invitation "an embarrassment" for the catholic church. Oh? Really? Because, after all, having a boy fucker in your own home isn't an embarrassment Mr. Cardinal? You, sir, invited a man who is known to have molested innocent young boys who put all their faith and trust into him. This reprobate abused this faith and trust and had secret sex with these underage youths. Knowing that this man has a "thing" for boy pussy you decided to let him live with you in your mansion in Chicago's Gold Coast neighborhood directly across the street from a park and a block from the beach. But this doesn't embarrass you? Methinks it should. That and your claim to be holy should both embarrass you.

Attack of the 50' christian

christians are all about the attack. Here in the United States of America they are granted special privileges with an Amendment specifically protecting them and the decision they make to be christians. Our founding fathers determined that they should be a protected class unto themselves and that no entity in this country should treat them negatively. Yet this protection and privilege is not enough for this group of bigots so they spend time attacking anyone who dares to disagree with their brand of "truth". christians will demand that politicians adhere to their mindless religious teachings and insist on having laws passed to deem unbelievers unlawful and dirty. They insist that the world would not be so screwed up if it would only follow its bigoted doctrine.

This week a woman at work kindly informed me that the reason for my homosexuality is because society says I must be this way. "If society weren't so screwed up you would be normal." She told me that if I were to have grown up in her country and town I would have a girlfriend or wife now. Society has made me this way. She has also taken to bringing me literature "showing the miracles of Christ" in order to give me hope for change.

What causes these people to think this way? They truly believe that I am broken in some way. And because of my brokenness it's OK to pass legislation banning my person. These types of attacks happen every day against the homosexual community in the name of religion. They have become commonplace. Yet bring these to the attention of society and You are the bad person attacking christianity. Demand respect as a fellow human being and equality in the United States and you are an enemy of all that is good. Demand to be treated as you would treat "any other person on the street" and you are satan's handyman.

Well, don't look to me for respect if you are of a religious "ilk" and don't demand respect for a lifestyle you have chosen. The government can instruct that I respect you in my professional life and not treat you like the jackass that you are, but you won't receive the same in my personal life. You keep your religious heehaw to your self and I will try not to spit on you. Fuck your god, I say, Fuck your god.

Much Love,
Chuck
