  • Claiming Jesus was a ‘military leader’ is ‘absolutely not religious’, said some fool in the US army

    Claiming Jesus was a ‘military leader’  is ‘absolutely not religious’, said some fool in the US army

    Image via YouTube/Paradise P.D. (Spanish) A TRAINING programme titled “Leadership Lessons of the Lord Jesus Christ” at an unnamed US military unit was stopped in its tracks after a group of basic recruits said “fuck this for a game of soldiers.” The group, comprising 112 personnel and a senior non-commissioned officer (NCO) who represented them,…

  • NY Mayor Eric Adams ‘can’t separate his Christian beliefs from his government duties.’

    NY Mayor Eric Adams ‘can’t separate his Christian beliefs from his government duties.’

    Image via YouTube ADAMS—hosting a recent “interfaith prayer breakfast”— appeared to trash America’s long-established policy of separation between church and state in what sounded more of a sermon than a speech. The Democrat and former police officer who claimed last year that he was “chosen by God” to become the Big Apple’s Mayor, said: Don’t…

    Detroit priest who sodomised an boy aged 11, jailed for three to 15 years

    Fr Joseph (Jack) Baker. Image via the Archdiocese of Detroit. WHEN I was editing the now all-but-defunct Freethinker I frequently received emails from angry Catholics, accusing me of trawling the media with the sole aim of discrediting the RCC by focusing on its world-wide paedophilia crisis. These communications invariably made the point that the RCC…

    ‘Holy’ oil, specially prepared in Jerusalem, will be used in King Charles’ hugely expensive coronation

    A splash of this and a dollop of that. Images of King Charles III and the Patriarchate of Jerusalem via YouTube. THE “slimmed down” coronation of King Charles III in May, costing more than £120,000 million, will feature a concoction of sesame, rose, jasmine, cinnamon, neroli, benzoin, and orange blossom—and a massive dose of superstitious…

    IN 2014, blowhard Baptist preacher Rick Scarborough, above, said God would be justified to nuke America for having gay ambassadors. A year later the self-declared “Christocrat” vowed to set himself on fire if same-sex marriage was  legalised – and he urged like-minded pastors to shoot themselves if such a horror were ever to befall the…

    God is hate. Elderly woman threatened with hell for painting steps of a church in rainbow colours.

    PITT Street Uniting Church in Syney, Australia, has been at the forefront of the fight for LGBT+ equality since the 1980s. So it certainly would have had no quarrel with a woman—part of a small group—who decided to paint its stairs in rainbow colours to coincide with World Pride currently being held in the city.…

    Attendance at religious classes in Victoria slumps by a stupendous 99 percent

    A WHILE back the state did a very smart thing. It scrapped religious education from schol classes. Now the non-mandatory classes, called Special Religious Instruction (SRI)— are held during lunchtime and before and after school. The move, according The Age, has seen attendances at these classes plummet by 99 percent in a decade. This is…

    Yorkshire police drawn into a row over ‘disrespect’ for a Quran at a Wakefield school

    POLICE in the UK, like so many other services under the control of an utterly in competent Conservative government, are overworked and under-resourced, so my question today is why the hell did coppers get themselves involved in an incident involving “disrsepect” of a copy of a Quran at Wakefield’s Kettlethorpe High School? According to the…
