Georgia in the news

It's never good. But at least this is better than when they got Creationism into the local science classrooms.

Jesus wept

Note - the dead gorilla post was an accidental publish from Formspring.

As you've probably heard, the Westboro Baptist Church won the right to picket the funerals of soldiers with their anti-gay hate speech. I believe that everyone should have a right to free speech and that if it doesn't apply to the unpopular it really doesn't exist at all, but several states also have laws making it illegal to launch a personal attack against someone, either physically or verbally. Asking the supreme court to allow people to be sued or treated as criminals because their views are so universally disliked was the wrong request, and they rightfully slapped that bitch down. Instead the politicians should have stuck with the "their actions cross the line and become a personal attack rather than merely an unpopular opinion" angle instead. There's no reasonable way you can argue that the dead soldier's family and friends will not be forcibly exposed to their opinion and no logical reason they wouldn't feel hurt by it when they do act at hospitals and cemetaries. Or if nothing else, they could say that using the Marines' "semper fi" motto in their hate speech was a violation of copyright law and then allow the marines to do a demonstration of their own, mainly on how they've been expertly trained to storm the beeches, secure an objective, and then wipe out a tiny Baptist church full of haters.

Of course I think the best measured response was in a previous story that I read that included a link to Westboro's site which had been hijacked and repointed to drop the user on a hardcore gay porn site. And now having said hardcore gay porn site (in fact, I said it twice) I shall further say Naughty Asian Schoolgirls, free Viagra, and ninja to further inflate the hits on today's post. Plus I will close with a bunny.

A Quick Prayer

Almighty Satan, Thine is the power and the glory for ever and ever, so mote it be. If You accept my praise and wish me to sleep with this bunny in Your honor, please give me absolutely no sign.

(Rika Sato, 24 yo race queen bunny.)

Thy will be done. Amen.

FYI - glorifying Satan will now be my default reaction to every religious peddler who bothers me at home in an attempt to sell me their lord.

30 Day Meme Thingy, part messianic

Day 19a → What do you think of religion? Or what do you think of politics?

I’m not against many religions. I’m against organizations that try to define and regulate religious practices, especially when they think their laws should apply to us nonbelievers as well. They tend to take a good idea and twist it into something obscene over time. Religious beliefs are good when they provide comfort when you are feeling lost or troubled. They suck when they’re a constant source of misery. If your religion is giving you grief, then whatever you are – don’t be that anymore.

As for the type of religious people I prefer, I like people who believe in something good (whether or not one or more gods needs to be involved), honestly try to be true to their beliefs, don’t feel compelled to convert me, have a reasonable sense of humor about quirks in their religion, and tolerance for other beliefs that don’t actively interfere with their own lives. By “actively interfere” I mean situations like “I can’t sleep while you sacrifice goats on your side of the bed”, not “it bothers me that you’re in your house behind closed doors persistently not worshipping Jesus.”

Second favorite types are the ones who are devout and overly serious about it, but are willing to not preach to me constantly as long as I avoid their place of worship. At least they’re fun to play with.

Third favorite type are the ones who think the baby (insert messiah) will cry and they will BURN BURN BURN if they do not spend every waking moment trying to convert everyone who breathes their air, and that tactics like making up false statistics (“studies show evangelicals are 30% prettier and are much less likely to be mauled by bears”) are okay because anything done in (insert god)’s name must be good, right?

Fourth is the not religious but very pissy about it, the kind who believe that it’s in the American constitution that we’re all supposed to be Christian and who pitch a fit when the government fails to create laws that enforce what they think is in the bible (not that they’ve read one, but it’s common knowledge).

Fifth are the atheists who act like the ones above, the kind who have a conniption if they hear Silent Night in public or if they see people celebrating Christmas as the birth of Christ. They’re no worse, I just hate to see non-believers acting life wannabe fundies.

Last are the ones who believe their god wants them to rub out a segment of the population to attain heaven.

Correction - #1 (一番) fave is Satanic metal bunnies. But I think that went without saying.

Direct link to metal bunny video.

Update - posting this caused some Mormon missionaries to drop by and pester me. At least I think they were Mormons. They knocked, I opened the door, before it was fully open I saw dark suits and name tags and fake leather-bound books, I said "Not interested" and shut the door again. It's a shame the local ordinances don't let me set intruders on fire.

Please tell me your opinion of these dickbags

Unless you live in an underwater cave on Mars, you've most likely heard about the Westboro Baptist Church at some point. If you're unfamiliar with them, they're a small group that periodically makes the news because they like to gather their families together and picket at VA hospitals and soldiers' funerals with signs that say things like "God Hates Fags" and "God Loves Dead Soldiers". Apparently they believe soldiers die in combat because our country doesn't do enough to suppress the gays. Also I think they hate the Pope (maybe he's gay - I don't know).

I doubt anyone who comments here would actually take their side (although if you do, I would LOVE to hear that point of view), but I wonder where you stand on the issue of free speech. I believe in free speech, even for douche bags, but I think any right can be taken to an unhealthy extent. I'm all in favor of it for things like public forums, meetings, and web pages, but I also think the lower courts were right to a) outlaw the intentional infliction of emotional distress, and b) agree that their protests outside cemetaries when families are trying to lay a deceased relative to rest crossed that line from freedom of expression to abuse. To the best of my knowledge, none of the Westboronians has claimed they tripped and, when they stood up, discovered they were holding a sign praising IED's and screaming hateful epithets about the Jews (maybe they're gay too).

So, what do you think? Should they be stripped naked, flayed with chainsaws, boiled in alcohol and then set on fire, or should we suck their eyeballs out with plastic spoons, fill their eye sockets with slugs, and then feed then feet first into a wood chipper? Or should we get cruel and unusual creative on them?

Overheard while going to work

"Do you journal? Because I journal all the time, and the more I journal the more He reveals to me, not just about my own future but about the United States of America!" - one employee proselytizing to another.

Bear in mind that these people had ID badges and were gainfully employed.

Because I haven't recently made fun of those weirdo cultists (you know, the ones who claim their zombie lord is going to rise from the dead and judge us all):

Two and a J-bunny

Answer #2 to the truth and lie meme.

I was sent to an all-boy Baptist military boarding academy in Vermont as a teenager, but was expelled for using witchcraft. Actually the charge stemmed from the cover art on one of my CDs.

This is the one that is serious BS, although it sounds like something that would happen to me, especially if you know my taste in music. If you’ve been reading this blog since 2005 (doubtful, since all of my blogpals from those days have either quit blogging or hate me now), you may remember that part of this is true, but it didn’t happen to me. A coworker’s daughter was booted from a Baptist bible camp for practicing witchcraft, but the true story was that she was developing breasts faster than a rival girl (the granddaughter of the camp owners) who made the claim. Full story is here, but the quick version is that the rival girl tried to get her in trouble by getting a guy to sleep with her, then when she rejected his advances he slapped her bible from her hand causing a CD insert she was using as a bookmark to tumble to the floor, then he called her a witch because of the artwork (I don’t remember the band, but it was a mainstream pop group) and she replied “Yeah, and I’ll put a spell on you.” After that, the rival told her grandparents that the girl was practicing witchcraft and they called my coworker and told him to retrieve his heathen child. Being a typical parent, the coworker grounded his daughter on the basis that an adult accused her of something (he had a history of ignoring his children in favor of listening to strangers). She was pardoned after bible camp let out and the other kids returned home and told the true story of what happened.

The other part almost became true - my mother once tried to ship me to a Baptist military boarding school in Vermont. I would have been thrilled to get away from her and it was always my dream to go to a real military academy where they taught useful skills such as Grinding Your Enemies’ Skulls Under Your Jackboot Heel 101 and Advanced Foxhole Digging, but a Baptist military school? I read the brochure and discovered it had no affiliation with the military, they just used military style conformity (the uniforms looked like Confederate infantry with plumed hats) and discipline to push xtianity down their students’ young throats. Every adult that worked there was a Baptist minister. In particular, I remember one passage in the brochure where they described a typical first day. First, the minister / barber shaves your head, during which “You might even get a friendly sermon, too.” Bleah. So, when my mother put the application form and check in the mailbox I retrieved them, tore them into pieces, and flushed the bits down the toilet. By the time she realized the check hadn’t been cashed, it was too late to enroll me. I should have donated the check to a group of Satanists, but I didn’t think of that until now.

If you read all that, you deserve a bunny.

Bunny!

Showing Support

Not a bunny

I'm not posting this in support of gay rights because I don't think the concept should even exist. I believe we need separate laws for gays the way we need different rights and responsibilities for people based on their favorite ice cream toppings (note - butterscotch rulz! - in your face, fudge losers). I'm just doing this for Tracy, who claims to not be gay but has yet to offer any proof to my satisfaction.

Also, I believe marriage is a bad idea altogether, but I believe people shouldn't get married equally. I don't care what your religion says. Really, I don't, and I don't think you should get tax breaks or any other preferential treatment for getting married. But if I have to get married, I'll take one of each below.

Bunny!

Because, really, who wanted me to do a political post with no J-bunny pics included?

Interview Meme, part Joe

So I did a couple of interview memes and Joe asked to be interviewed and he posted his answers and then I asked to be interviewed and now I have questions from him. It’s kind of like bloggy incest. Reprint of the rules:

“The only rules are that you have to link back to the original post and you have to put these rules in your post. Want to be part of it? Follow these instructions:
1. Leave me a comment saying, "Interview me."
2. I will respond by emailing you five questions. I get to pick the questions.
3. You will update your blog with the answers to the questions.
4. You will include this explanation and an offer to interview someone else in the same post.
5. When others comment asking to be interviewed, you will ask them five questions.”

1. If money were no object, what would you spend your life doing?
I would travel to Japan, abduct some hot J-bunnies, kill people at random, then hire a team of lawyers to get me off (the criminal charges – the J-bunnies will get me off the other way). Then I would club baby seals, torpedo endangered whales with an atomic sub, fire the rain forests, introduce great whites into penguin territory (to see if the cold gets the sharks before they get the pengys), cannibalize the J-bunnies and floss with their intestines, then hire a team of lawyers to get me off. Then I would buy the space shuttle, build a home on the moon, start my own J-bunny ranch colony and build a giant mass driver device to obliterate the Earth, starting with the bastard lawyers who got me off.
Or if you’re asking what would I like to do realistically if I didn’t to worry about making ends meet, I would like to write and travel and experience other cultures and continue my Japanese studies, hopefully with a live-in Japanese girlfriend to help me practice.

2. What do you consider to be the best decision you've ever made?
Severing contact with my mother, the last relative in my life. Bad relationships drain and twist everyone involved and tend to drag down all they touch. Whether you are victimized, in denial, Catholic, or just plain stupid, the only real solution for a poisonous relationship is to completely end it. Despite people bitching at me by saying things like “But she’s your mother!”, I never looked back and have felt much better since.

3. If Ebi-chan promised to marry you in exchange for you funding and being fully supportive of her receiving breast augmentation so that she'd resemble an Asian Anna Nicole-Smith (though living), would you accept her offer?
That’s tricky. I don’t have the money and don’t like women who are too materialistic and make ultimatums, but then again I don’t have any other action going on in my life, so if I can borrow the money from question #1 then I’ll go for it. If the marriage doesn’t work, I can always divorce and/or kill and dismember her later. If I don’t like the boobs, I can flip her over and go for anal (the breasts will make comfy pillows for her). Seriously, although I don’t object to large breasts, I think most women look best in their natural state. Japanese women are normally thin with almond shaped eyes, round noses, and glossy, straight black hair.

Exotic Bunny!

When they try to Westernize themselves with breast augmentation, eye and nose jobs, and lightened hair, they lose their exotic appeal.

Western bunny


(although I would still do them, but just because I’m so nice)

4. If two immortals had a fight to the death, how would it end? Bonus add-on: Please estimate the total pay-per-view revenues from the battle.
It would be a never-ending slugfest with no possible winner. Imagine any fight you’ve seen. Exciting, ne? Now imagine that going on forever. Initial ratings would be high, but then the American public would wonder what else was on and the whole thing would eventually be relegated to ESPN72r3, sandwiched in between the Weather Channel and Basket Weaving Network. People would flip through the channel every so often and at one point would wonder when the immortals decided to stop fighting and instead debate the classics. “Next week on Immortal Smack-down – Moby Dick vs. Jane Eyre!” After advertising, publicity stunts, kickbacks, licensing fees, and lawsuits, I see a total profit of about $1.72 if the immortals do go for the leather bound hardbacks, in which case I hope your credit is good.

5. On your blog, you refer to yourself as "The Grantichrist" have you ever considered something more child friendly, like "GrantiClaus"?
My blog template and title are deliberately unfriendly. Whenever I use a standard template and don’t head the page with plenty of Voodou cannibalistic psychotic Satanism, I draw some mommy kitty xtian bloggers who comment a couple of times, then slowly realize I’m not normal when I leave a few comments in return talking about sodomizing Asian schoolgirls, then the inevitable e-drama ensues involving a lot of people deciding to move and hide their blogs (and in some cases being so stupid as to leave me on their distribution list when they tell everyone their new site because they had to escape me), so I figure this way you’ve all been warned.


BTW, this is post #1,100, bitches.

Interview Meme, pt. 666

Continuing the interview memes with the inexorable religious questions:


From Enemy of the Republic: 3. Why can't you bow down before the altar and admit that you are lost; you need Jesus, brother--what stops you from committing your life to Christ?
And from SJ: 4. What's with all the Satan worship anyway?

My actual religious beliefs are best described as being a non-believer, although I like the terms pagan hedonist, infidel defiler, and godless heathen as well. I don’t like the terms agnostic and atheist because they are christian terms with built-in definitions for why those believers are wrong. According to xtian definitions I’ve heard (repeatedly), an atheist says “I know there is no god” and an agnostic says “I don’t know, but you can’t know either.” Xtians refute both by first saying you can’t know there is no god because you would have to exist on god’s level to ascertain that with absolute certainty (a worthy point), and then they contradict themselves by saying they do know (not believe, but know) there is a god because they see his wondrous majesty in creation and feel his presence in their lives and blah blah skippy zombie jebus w00t gag me with a feckin’ crucifix.

So, rather than provide an answer that automatically has me categorized and dismissed, I like to toss out devil worship because people don’t know what to do with that one. Besides, Satan is way cooler (just look at some of my CD covers), He has the best tunes, and because I think it’s fucking funny. Note – I also like to toss Voodou, cannibalism, and rooster worship in the mix from time to time for a little variety. Plus if I honestly say I don’t believe in god, the xtian reaction is to label me undecided, as if I’m still looking and will come around to their way of thinking when I get my head straight. Verily, I swear now upon no god whatsoever, I will never get my head straight.

I’m not undecided, I just firmly believe that there is no god, at least not as defined by any religion I’ve encountered. Plus which I read a lot of whiny bitch xtian blogs and next to you people (you know who you are) I’m very happy and well adjusted. I don’t have crises of faith. My belief system is secure, meshes well with reality, and is not self-contradictory. It comforts me in times of need, politely gets out of the way in times of joy, and doesn’t require tithing or anally penetrating altar boys. Can your religion do any of that?


And from EotR again: 5. If you are reincarnated because you still have unfinished karma, what lesson do you think you will need in your next life to grow closer to Nirvana?

Remember to kill people when you’re young enough to get away with it (9 is a good age). Don’t waste those precious moments. It’s better to regret what you have done than what you haven’t.


And for those of you who wish I would stop posting words and get back to the bunny pics:

Nurse Bunny!

Merry New Year

Continuing the interview. From Enemy of the Republic: 4. If it were in your power to give it to them, who above all in this world, deserves death?

It depends if you mean a group or a specific person. If I could annihilate an entire group, I would wipe out every fundamentalist of every religion. True believers, not free thinkers, are the cause of most of society’s ills. The fundies tend to use their religion to structure and focus their hate. Check out the Paradise Lost documentaries on the West Memphis 3 if you want to see small town hate-mongers in action. Ask yourself: when was the last time you heard of a Satanic suicide bombing, or a Republican conservative abortion clinic slaying? People who believe more than think are just scary.

If I’m limited to one guy, I’ll go with the pope. He’s creepy looking and in charge of an organization that can and has done a lot of personal harm and I just don’t like him. If I get to choose the method of execution, I’ll go with fatal anal using an unlubed spiked dildo on public access television.

Dispelling Misconceptions

Some people have somehow somewhere gotten the idea that I am obsessed with Japanese women, which is just not right. True, Japanese schoolgirls are totally hot,
Japan Bunny!
but I also appreciate all varieties of women from all corners of the earth, such as China
China Bunny!
and Korea.
Korea Bunny!
So there. Also, Japanese stuff can be evil and not at all cute.
Evil Bunny!
Serious sidenote - I'm toying with the images under the new template. I used to resize the larger ones to be 95% the size of the panel, but with the sidebar to the left now I'm just letting them push into the open space. Depending on your resolution, resizing to 95% of the available screen space can make them larger and pixelated. Let me know if you like the images unsized, sized to fit your screen, or reduced to a fixed width with a link to the full-sized image.
