More Religious Mayhem A New Mexico family is suing the local Catholic church over a funeral in which the priest allegedly said their relative was only a middling Catholic who was going straight to hell. Court papers filed last month say Rev Scott Mansfield said at Martinez's funeral last year that the deceased was "living in sin", "lukewarm in his faith" and that "the Lord vomited people like Ben out of his mouth to hell". Not your friendly old Father O'Malley is he? The complaint also said that as Rev Mansfield walked to the grave, he laced his comments about Martinez - a former town councilman - with profanities. See, this is why we separate church and state. Nine members of the Martinez family are seeking punitive and compensatory damages for severe emotional and physical suffering. Lawyers did not say how much the family was seeking in damages. Maybe they should seek a temporary restraining order keeping Mr. Martinez in limbo until the case can be decided. Service of process on God may be a little tough. I suppose Satan will also have to be served with papers since he's an interested party. 8:22:09 PM    Go ahead, make my day  []

Let He Who Is Without Sin... I see a pseudo-christian troll has assaulted Lauren over at her blog. As a Christian these people piss me off to no end. Just in case this troll decides to pay me a visit, I have a little something for him to consider: Let the one among you who is guiltless be the first to throw a stone at her. --John 8:7 So this is a question to "The Spook", someone not even brave enough to leave a real email address: Have you ever even looked at a woman lustfully? If you have, you are an adulterer. (Matthew 5:28) If you read the gospels, the people Jesus saved his condemnation for were the Pharisees and Sadducees, not because they were sinners, but because they were hypocrites. Lauren, please don't judge real Christians by this bigotted moron. Oh, and Spook, for your information Jesus was a Jew. So where all of the Apostles. 8:20:44 AM    Go ahead, make my day  []
