Group Sues Library of Anti-Religious Meeting Room Policy

The Seaside library has been sued for not allowing a religious group to use their meeting rooms.  The Liberty Counsel says the library's meeting room policy violates the First and 14th Amendments.

We have been over this before, but this one is a bit different.  For some reason, this library does not allow religious services or proselytizing.  Look, rules are made for a reason.  I doubt the library just arbitrarily made a rule barring religious groups.  Look at the community and I bet you somewhere in the history there is a crazy militant group somewhere in the hills that attempted to hole themselves up in the meeting room at some point and the library went "No More!"

Or, you know, there could be diverse and expansive amount of religious communities in the area and the library does not want to feel obligated to one over another in a fast paced game of shotgun like little kids in a carpool. Hell, I'm going to our library and start a meeting in our rooms in the name of the Benevolent Order of Rockin with Our Socks Off, who at the moment are looking for a more permanent place to hold our meetings.

Is the Dalai Lama a Religious Nut Job?

The Art of Happiness, 10th Anniversary Edition: A Handbook for LivingA new book is being released in America claiming the Dalai Lama, one of the most beloved fellas in recent history, is not such a great guy.  "Not So 'Zen': The Hidden Side Of The Dalai Lama" by Maxime Vivas puts forth the view that the ideas about Tibet the Dalai Lama and his followers have been putting forth are incorrect or dangerous.  Citing modern life in Tibet versus the view of an impoverished and Chinese-ruled Tibet, the book suspects that rule under a religious leader unaccustomed to leading the people of the land. xinhuanet.com

Shit, the French lady kinda has a point.  I am not saying either side is right, but... I cringe in thinking of any religion ruling anything.  As history has pointed out to us multiple times, saving a civilization's soul and collecting its money are two different things.  There is nothing wrong with believing in an afterlife, but we all got to live in this one.

Cathollics Excited Then Bummed About New Youth Book

The 15 Most Beautiful and Common Catholic Prayers 










"And ye shall not go puttin things on your junk," so sayeth the Lord.
A new Catholic book was released this week that told that contraception methods were okay.  Then, in a manner much like the days of yore, they burned 30,000 copies of the heretic book.  The book, YouCat, was for catholic youth (YouCat, Young Catholics... you get it) originally written in German.  During the translation process, apparently the words for "crazy hopeful timing contraception method" and "all contraception methods" sound the same in German and the book was misprinted which lead to the aforementioned 30,000 being deposed of forthwith.

Sure.  Right.  "Mistake."  I get it, Popey.  Wink wink, nudge nudge, say no more.  We all make mistakes sometimes, baby.  Ain't no thang.  Now, let's get you some medicine.  Paging Dr. Freud...
