Possummomma's situation is getting more serious...

... and creepy.

I've been following the saga from afar for the last week or two. It started when PM's kid submitted a school essay highlighting her atheist viewpoint and questioning her teacher's christian one. It's escalated now to the point where a local christian minister/pastor* has tracked down the PM's identity, and has gone as far as to stalk her child to the school bus-stop, and now that local xtian nutter is subject to an order of protection, aka a Stay-The-Fuck-Away-From-The-Kid injunction.

Creepy. Scary. Two words that sum up religious zealots for me. Will be keeping an eye on this as more details develop, but the cynic in me says that William is so far gone with the fairies that he may violate the order. After all, it's god's work, right?

Possummomma, be careful.

* I have no idea of the difference, if there is one, between a minister and a pastor. Why would I know?

Turkana Boy vs Bishop Boniface

Bishop Boniface Adoyo opines:

"I did not evolve from Turkana Boy or anything like it. These sorts of silly views are killing our faith."

I respond

"Good."

Really, I can't think of a better fate for your silly little faith than for it to die at the hands of a 1.6 million year old child. Grow up and stop believing the fairy tale that god created the earth 12000 years ago. It's plainly not true.

Teddy boy is back, and this time... he's straight!

In today's so-off-the-wall-it's-funny news, Ted Haggard, disgraced jesus-nut pastor of New Life Church in Colorado springs, who you'll remember was caught out fucking a male prostitute on methamphetamine, has returned to the public eye claiming he's now completely closeted straight.

This just really goes to show that religio-nuts are just crazy. They're mentally ill and need help from reputable, rational sources, not some unnamed jesus-freak brainwashing centre in Arizona.

OK, that's enough sympathy for the maniacs. Ted, just give up. Admit that the whole jesus thing is bollocks and move to godless San Francisco, where you'll get all the succulent man-meat you ever wanted, and a near-limitless supply of meth to enjoy it on. And once a year, come to Sydney and participate in Mardi Gras, then afterwards get buggered round the back of the Oxford by leather-clad strangers. You know you want to. Go on... Man Meat... MAN MEAT!!

Oh, and courtesy of The Onion, a glimpse of Ted Haggard's potential future.
