    Why I am an antitheist

    November 16th, 2011

    Can there be any doubt at all of the harm which religion causes, when it nurtures and protects assholes like this:

    http://www.michaelcrook.org/2011/11/15/ashley-billasano-did-not-defend-her-virtue/

    In case that link is taken down, it’s a post by Michael Crook regarding the sad case of Ashley Billasano, who by her own account put up with years of sexual abuse from her stepfather and another close family member, from the age of 7. When she reported these crimes, the apparent lack of responsiveness of law enforcement and lack of community support caused her to take her own life in despair.

    This led Michael Crook, Moron Mormon, to comment that he doesn’t believe rape exists, and clearly the girl wasn’t a victim and it wasn’t even abuse because she didn’t die to “defend her virtue”. Michael Crook uses both his Mormon holy book and the writing of former Mormon President Spencer W Kimball to justify his abhorrent notions.

    ‘Nongs enforce cover-up

    September 16th, 2010

    Muslim clothing sensitivies are well known. France recently banned the wearing of the Burkha; now the Australian Government has made a decision to enforce a dress code for non-Muslims at a public swimming pool.

    The Victorian Civil and Administrative Tribunal (VCAT) has banned people exposing their shoulders and thighs at an event at a public swimming pool in Dandenong, in Melbourne’s south-east.

    The Dandenong City Council and the YMCA applied for the ban to be implemented during swimming lessons for Muslim women scheduled for next August.

    Interestingly the vice-president of the Victorian Islamic council, Sherene Hassan, does not agree with these restrictions. She says, “I basically believe that individuals have the right to wear whatever they’d like to wear.”

    Chaplain charged over child pornography

    August 24th, 2010

    A chaplain at a private school for girls in Perth has been charged with child pornography offences.

    I wonder if the Government also paid for the thumb drive containing the images.
