I wandered through fiction to look for the truth.

04Jul08

I started to watch “Riding in Cars With Boys”, and it’s good, but I’ve seen it at least a dozen times before. Stopping watching it won’t hurt me. I know what happens.

So, according to my mother’s brand new Reader’s Digest (apparently I’m the only person who reads them in the house. MINE ALL MINE :D), the Pope has added more deadly sins.
Now, I’d heard about this, but I hadn’t heard what the sins were. I’ll copy word-for-word what it says.

  1. “Bioethical” violations such as birth control
  2. “Morally dubious” experiments such as stem cell research
  3. Drug abuse
  4. Polluting the environment
  5. Contributing to widening the divide between rich and poor
  6. Excessive wealth
  7. Creating poverty

Let’s start by saying that the last three are pretty much the same thing.

Next:
OH NO, NOT BIRTH CONTROL!
Overpopulation, who cares?
STIs were made up by those stupid atheist people to encourage you to sin sin sin with that condom.
Women are evil, and thus should be reduced to baby making machines with no control.

I’m being sarcastic, in case you can’t tell.

THAT DARN STEM CELL RESEARCH.
I mean, who cares about all the people it could save? AN EMBRYO WILL DIE!
THAT’S LIKE TOTALLY MURDER!

Okay, three and four are actually good.
I wouldn’t call them deadly sins, but yeah.

My god, the Catholic Church is f-ked up.

Two pages on from that article is a page of statistics.
Did you know that Australia is the sixth least sexed nation? Aww. No fun for Aussies.

Oh yeah, and I really want to make big smiley face stickers with “Have A Nice Cancer” to stick on all of the cigarette bins :)

Night night blogreaders.

    Last I checked, Reader’s Digest is drivel.
    The Papacy is demented. It ~adds~ perversion to Christianity, which is pretty deep in it already. This puts Catholics behind Buddhists and Raelians and Protestants, but ahead of Mormons, Scientologists and just about anything New Age.
    Yes, I just put one of the kooky sci-fi religions ahead of the Protestants. Apart from the zany cult stuff, they are really benign. I don’t see why a former French racing driver should be any less credible a prophet than a starving shepherd.

    I’ve seen sex stats that place Australia at the world mean … a fair bit behind New Zealand. The Japanese are the least sexed, the Vietnamese the last sexed. The French most, the Icelanders first. And so on.
