Pastor Terry Jones arrested for child pornography
August 6, 2010 10:13 AM
Infamous Pastor Terry Jones, known for his activism against the Gainesville Florida mayor, and for his "Burn a Koran Day" has been arrested for possession of child pornography. Wednesday August 4, 2010 Pastor Terry Jones was arrested for sharing pictures of children in various states of nudity over the popular file sharing network Limewire.
UPDATE: THIS MIGHT BE A HOAX ABOUT TERRY JONES BEING ARRESTED.

City officials in Gainesville, Fla., have denied a burning permit to a local church that wants to burn copies of the Quran on the upcoming anniversary of 9/11 terrorist attacks.
Gainesville officials say book burnings like the one planned by the Dove World Outreach Center are prohibited under the city's burning ordinance.Interim Fire Chief Gene Prince further warned Wednesday that the church would face a fine if it went ahead with the burnings.
The Dove World Outreach Center had announced the planned Quran burning last month on Facebook and urged other religious groups to join "in remembrance of the fallen victims of 9/11 and to stand against the evil of Islam."
“We only did it because we felt there needed to be an outcry against Islam, because Islam is presenting itself as a religion of peace,” explained Senior Dove World Pastor Terry Jones.
Despite the warning from officials, Jones, who has written a book called "Islam is of the Devil," sent out an e-mail saying the church would still burn Qurans.
The Quran burning has been condemned by a number of Muslim and Christian groups.

Does God Need A Woman To Look After Him?
Tori Amos, born August 22, 1963, performs her song God at Glastonbury 1998.
God sometimes you just don't come through
God sometimes you just don't come through
Do you need a woman to look after you
God sometimes you just don't come through
You make pretty daisies pretty daisies
Love I gotta find what you're doing about things
Here a few witches burning
Gets a little toasty here
I gotta find why you always go when the wind blows
Tell me you're crazy maybe then I'll understand
You got your 9 iron in the back seat
Just in case
Heard you're gone south well
Babe you love your new 4 wheel
I gotta find why you always go when the wind blows
Will you even tell her if you decide to make the sky fall
Will you even tell her if you decide to make the sky
God sometimes you just don't come through
God sometimes you just don't come through
Do you need a woman to look after you
God sometimes you just don't come through
Do you need a woman to look after you
God sometimes you just don't come through

The First Anchor Baby
Could the Republicans and Fox News be blocking God's will? Perhaps God is trying to bring the Anti-Christ to America so Jesus can come and bring them home to the streets of gold. Fox News commercials sure are trying hard to get you to buy gold. Maybe you can take it with you.

A Religious Stoning Yesterday
A Christian fundies dream.
KABUL, Afghanistan — Taliban militants in northern Afghanistan stoned a young couple to death for adultery, which a rights group said was the first confirmed use of the punishment here since the hardline Islamist regime was ousted in 2001.
The Taliban-ordered killing comes at a time when international rights groups have raised worries that attempts to negotiate with the Taliban to bring peace to Afghanistan could mean a step backward for human rights in the country. When the Islamist extremists ruled Afghanistan, women were not allowed to leave their houses without a male guardian, and public killings for violations of their harsh interpretation of the Quran were common.
This weekend's stoning appeared to arise from an affair between a married man and a single woman in Kunduz province's Dasht-e-Archi district.
The woman, Sadiqa, was 20 years old and engaged to another man, said the Kunduz provincial police chief, Gen. Abdul Raza Yaqoubi. Her lover, 28-year-old Qayum, left his wife to run away with her, and the two had holed up in a friend's house five days ago, said district government head, Mohammad Ayub Aqyar.
They were discovered by Taliban operatives on Sunday and stoned to death in front a crowd of about 150 men, Aqyar said.
First the woman was brought out and stoned, then the man a half an hour later, Aqyar said. He decried the punishment, which he said was ordered by two local Taliban commanders.
A spokesman for the provincial government also condemned the act.
"It is against all human rights and international conventions," said spokesman Mabubullah Sayedi. "There was no court. It was cruel."
Amnesty International said it was the first confirmed stoning in Afghanistan since the fall of Taliban rule in the 2001 U.S.-led invasion.
Do not watch this if you are faint of heart. It is simply awful. Praise Allah, the religion of peace. What you get with primitive desert religions.

God's Evil Needs
A guy on Rational Readers Squad determined the number of people God is responsible for killing in the Bible account of whacky history. He determine the known count was 2,270,365 people. His count he states does not include the flood, the destruction of Sodom & Gomorrah, the number of first born Egyptians killed. I add he also doesn't include the the countless sinners who will burn in hell forever. He killed them once only to "destroy" them again. Also, knowing how he loves to create people he plans to kill I am sure there were other "evil" people not written about in the Bible who he destroyed. The Bible surely is not the entire record of his evil needs. We also can add to his count the saints who once in charge burned and tortured "witches" and other evil doers. Also, add the glorious beginning of the "One Nation Under God" country who killed just about every living savage native Indian.
I was listening to a recording of the book of Revelation today. The author of the last book of the Bible states that God will send all the plagues to the earth punishing all the evil doers with his peanut gallery yelling "You Go God" in the corner. As part of the last days drama he chains up Satan for 1,000 years and the saints reign with Jesus telling him he has done a wonderful job. At the end of the 1,000 years Satan is unleashed after Jesus resurrects the evil people and then he tortures them through all eternity in a lake of fire, forever contained. And the saint said Amen. God could just kill them and be done with them. However, instead He needs to cause a lull in the action to savor the sweet aroma of his cruelty to only resurrect them again and torture them forever, forever contained in hell (perhaps saving them for a rainy day?). I was yelling bullshit when I was listening to this. Why would a loving God put a thousand year pause in the action just so he can punish these people all over again? And why would he keep them burning in hell forever? He loves cruelty for sure. OR-R-R-R-R-R.... The bastards that wrote the Bible who said they were all about peace and love and accepting tribulation were full of anger and hate they had to suppress for Jesus. They hope there is a god who is on their side and will punish the ones who disagreed with them in the most horrible way, more than man could ever devise.
This God of the Bible is no better than any other God in Egypt, Babylon, Greece or Rome. Why? Because that is exactly where he was made up.

Why Can't I Own Canadians?
A friend sent me this in an email. Quite good.
In her radio show, Dr Laura Schlesinger said that, as an observant Orthodox Jew, homosexuality is an abomination according to Leviticus 18:22, and cannot be condoned under any circumstance.
The following response is an open letter to Dr. Laura, written by a US man, and posted on the Internet. It's funny, as well as informative:
Dear Dr. Laura:
Thank you for doing so much to educate people regarding God's Law. I have learned a great deal from your show, and try to share that knowledge with as many people as I can. When someone tries to defend the homosexual lifestyle, for example, I simply remind them that Leviticus 18:22 clearly states it to be an abomination ... End of debate.
I do need some advice from you, however, regarding some other elements of God's Laws and how to follow them.
1. Leviticus 25:44 states that I may possess slaves, both male and female, provided they are from neighboring nations. A friend of mine claims that this applies to Mexicans, but not Canadians. Can you clarify? Why can't I own Canadians?
2. I would like to sell my daughter into slavery, as sanctioned in Exodus 21:7. In this day and age, what do you think would be a fair price for her?
3. I know that I am allowed no contact with a woman while she is in her period of Menstrual uncleanliness - Lev.15: 19-24. The problem is how do I tell? I have tried asking, but most women take offense.
4. When I burn a bull on the altar as a sacrifice, I know it creates a pleasing odor for the Lord - Lev.1:9. The problem is my neighbors. They claim the odor is not pleasing to them. Should I smite them?
5. I have a neighbor who insists on working on the Sabbath. Exodus 35:2 clearly states he should be put to death. Am I morally obligated to kill him myself, or should I ask the police to do it?
6. A friend of mine feels that even though eating shellfish is an abomination, Lev. 11:10, it is a lesser abomination than homosexuality. I don't agree. Can you settle this? Are there 'degrees' of abomination?
7. Lev. 21:20 states that I may not approach the altar of God if I have a defect in my sight. I have to admit that I wear reading glasses. Does my vision have to be 20/20, or is there some wiggle-room here?
8. Most of my male friends get their hair trimmed, including the hair around their temples, even though this is expressly forbidden by Lev. 19:27. How should they die?
9. I know from Lev. 11:6-8 that touching the skin of a dead pig makes me unclean, but may I still play football if I wear gloves?
10. My uncle has a farm. He violates Lev.19:19 by planting two different crops in the same field, as does his wife by wearing garments made of two different kinds of thread (cotton/polyester blend). He also tends to curse and blaspheme a lot. Is it really necessary that we go to all the trouble of getting the whole town together to stone them? Lev.24:10-16. Couldn't we just burn them to death at a private family affair, like we do with people who sleep with their in-laws? (Lev. 20:14) I know you have studied these things extensively and thus enjoy considerable expertise in such matters, so I'm confident you can help. Thank you again for reminding us that God's word is eternal and unchanging.
Your adoring fan.

Reality and Belief
Reality is that which, when you stop believing in it, still exists.
Conversely, if you have to believe in something to "make it so", that something does not exist.
I Don't Believe In The Bible
God is a concept,
By which we can measure,
Our pain,
I'll say it again,
God is a concept,
By which we can measure,
Our pain,
I don't believe in magic,
I don't believe in I-ching,
I don't believe in bible,
I don't believe in tarot,
I don't believe in Hitler,
I don't believe in Jesus,
I don't believe in Kennedy,
I don't believe in Buddha,
I don't believe in mantra,
I don't believe in Gita,
I don't believe in yoga,
I don't believe in kings,
I don't believe in Elvis,
I don't believe in Zimmerman,
I don't believe in Beatles,
I just believe in me,
Yoko and me,
And that's reality.
The dream is over,
What can I say?
The dream is over,
Yesterday,
I was dreamweaver,
But now I'm reborn,
I was the walrus,
But now I'm John,
And so dear friends,
You just have to carry on,
The dream is over.

As Sick As Your Secrets
Paul wrote to the believers in Corinth and he told them to keep the church's dirty laundry inside the church. Why? Because even the worst of them is a better judge than the best outsider. These losers will even judge angels. Also, he says that it would be better to wronged by someone inside the church and take it willingly than expose the misdeed to the light. Truth in name only, not reality.
I have personally experienced this attitude inside my former church and even have friends now who are being tormented by their fellow believers all in the name of Jesus. How sick it is and how sick they remain.
1 Corinthians 6:1-7

1 Corinthians 6:1-7
If any of you has a dispute with another, dare he take it before the ungodly for judgment instead of before the saints? Do you not know that the saints will judge the world? And if you are to judge the world, are you not competent to judge trivial cases? Do you not know that we will judge angels? How much more the things of this life! Therefore, if you have disputes about such matters, appoint as judges even men of little account in the church! I say this to shame you. Is it possible that there is nobody among you wise enough to judge a dispute between believers? But instead, one brother goes to law against another—and this in front of unbelievers! The very fact that you have lawsuits among you means you have been completely defeated already. Why not rather be wronged? Why not rather be cheated?

How To Explain It To The Kids
The Christian Post should take note of this if they haven't already. They have a overwhelming and suspicious focus on the subject. I googled the Christian Post a week or so ago and it showed its second biggest topic was homosexuality. It has moved up to number 1 above the U.S.

Atheist License Plate
I think it is hazardous to put anything related to politics or religion on your license plate or bumper. Seems to bring the worst out in people. But this guy has a license plate with "Atheist" on it and it is interesting to see how people have reacted to him. Watch to the end for an outtake.
