(Funny?) News Tidbits

• You know, as if I needed any more impetus to leave the RC Church, well, here it is. I know I haven't agreed with many of the teachings of the church for a while (I go because the monotony ritualistic manner of the service is soothing), but now my pro-choice stance means I shouldn't receive communion? Episcopalian Church, here I come!
  
• Oh, God bless you, CNN.com. A filthy cookie tin, huh? All the disgruntled ex-employees salute you, my friend. I'm just pissed I can't zoom in and examine the picture without it getting all pixelated on me.
  
• "My weiner? Do they want me to push my weiner?" /Michael Ian Black (and if you don't get that reference, make sure to watch VH1's I Love the 80's next time it comes back on the air). The picture, I think, is just as hilarious as the article.
  No, I take that back. The article will make you spit liquid onto your monitor/LCD screen. Be forewarned.

I got tired of church a long time ago. I use to be a senior consular in a catholic youth ministry and all I ever herd from the adults was "your going to hell" for almost anything you did or believed in, and that was the message they wanted us to pass on to the younger members of the ministry. I just couldn't stand it, they weren't teaching anything worth listening too. They just wanted you to fear religion and NEVER question it. Its more like the Catholic corporation, give me money, do what I say and you'll go to heaven ... maybe. I use to get a lot of flack for my beliefs, being pro-choice was a major one, same with my piercings and tattoos, they didn't want me to receive communion because I "ruined the body God gave me." Ugh religion, I could go on for hours about it!

*grin* Oh, I don't doubt it. Organized religion, 90% of the time, is divisive: "believe this and act the way we act, or you'll be damned". "The way we act", of course, being the way decided on by a select group of people, in most cases centuries ago.

I'm going to find myself a good ole non-Catholic church that'll accept my sexuality and my world views without preaching eternal damnation, and then I'm going to continue following the Golden Rule. Life goes on.
