A Priest for Santa Claus

 A Catholic priest is someone who goes to school for 4 to 8 years to learn how to never accept or admit that there is no such thing as Santa Claus. And by Santa Claus, of course, we mean the priest's completely human, biased, and limited, version of what the word "God" means, and what it does not mean. 

And for their devotion to refusing to ever accept or admit that Santa Claus (i.e. their own version of "God") isn't real, people pay them to live like communists and hold them up as the epitome of intelligence and enlightenment.

 Of course, even while they are obligated to claim Santa Claus is 100% real, and to insist that everyone believe them when they proclaim such an "infallible truth," they are equally obligated to insist that the tooth fairies that everyone else may believe in are not only not real, but that anyone who continues to believe in them deserves no less then to be burned alive for all eternity, suffering without end. Amen.  

 Hence, Catholic priests are just as convinced that their "God" is as real to them as Santa Claus is real to a 4 year old, even as those priest claim they deserve eternal reward from said "God" for also insisting that everyone else's brand of God is as imaginary as Santa Claus and the tooth fairy.

Why Christianity is More Unnatural Than Homosexuality

I grew up in a family that is about as homophobic as Phil Robertson and the Westboro Baptists, only they're not quite as boisterous about it; at least not in public anyway. They have also conveniently convinced themselves  that their homophobia is really just their unique Christian ability to "hate the sin, but love the sinner" (even though these very same Christians adamantly refuse to accept that people can "hate Christianity, but love the Christian").  The sexual superiority complex necessarily relied on by such Christians is, of course, blanketed beneath the lambs wool of the Christian humility of serving "God." They interpret their fear of those who are different, in other words, as simply proof of their intimate knowledge and love of God. And the only thing such Christians are more sure about than that their own personal version of "God" exists, is that such a "God" would never want people to be homosexual - no matter how ma...

Why Are Republicans Pro Life?

Most people don't realize that the Supreme Court has been in the hands of the Republican party since at least 1970! In fact, even in the landmark case of Roe v Wade that legalized abortion, SCOTUS was inhabited by 6 Republicans and 3 Democrats, and the vote was 7 to 2. One of the reasons is that the Republican Party has absolutely ZERO desire to win on the abortion issue. And that's because abortion gives the GOP a clear focal point with potentially unlimited organizing power. And it's an even simpler message to sell than religion, since we are "pro-life." (if that was true, however, they wouldn't be actively trying to repeal healthcare for up to 30 million Americans, nor would they be so pro-gun, pro-war, pro-death penalty, pro welfare cuts, pro- social security cuts, pro- drone strikes, etc). The Republican party officially became "pro-life" in 1976, thanks to Jesse Helms (R-NC). The only reason no serious challenge was brought within the pa...
