Speaking of “Gay Bombs”

I’m so angry at this I can’t even talk about it anymore. The Jerusalem gay pride parade is tomorrow and the whole fucking city is taken hostage by a mob of religious psychos who swore to give their lives to stop it because it’s obscene and it’s a sin and you know the drill… They got posters all over town about Jerusalem is the holiest city in the world and they wont let the filth parade happen, god hates filth on poster says. Funny story – when I lived downtown few years back there was a whore house in my building frequented almost exclusively by ultra orthodox. This “sacred” community is one of the most morally deprived ones in Israel. I’m talking child abuse, spouse abuse, and they keep it all within the community so no one knows about it until someone either dies or leaves and talks about it. The women, temptresses all, are forced to wear long skirts and long sleeves, stocking and closed shoes so their toes won’t show. The married women have to cover their hair, some even shave it all off every morning. They’re not allowed to argue with men, men rule the household. This is obscenity – this perverted version of Judaism is closer to Taliban Islamism than anything else if you ask me. and they’re burning garbage cans, throwing rocks at cops, blocking streets to stop the most open minded thing to happen in Jerusalem – duh.

Read more here if you’re interested.


UPDATE: it’s over, they marched and no one died (no kidding last year a religious guy stabbed someone). God didn’t come down from heaven to smite them. too bad I couldn’t be there – I really wanted to.

There is nothing worse than a religious fundamentalist. Fucking hypocrites. Ugh.

We have some similar shit here Sarah. We have the super Catholics where the priests like to fondle little boys but the Vatican refuses to defrock most of them...

Then you have the Christian fundamentalists that tell you murder is a sin and then they go and blow up an abortion clinic and kill 20 people. Or, they block stem cell research that will probably save lives just because the stem cells come from an embryo...

It's unfortunately a very wicked time in this world right now. Everyone believes their religion is the "RIGHT" religion when in reality...how do we know that? Seriously? Death is so mysterious that no one comes back saying they saw Jesus/God personally. Nope. No one knows what's on the other side so we should just let it go. But noooooooooooooooooooooo...EVERYONE with strong religious beliefs feels that it's their right and duty to force those beliefs on everyone else.

If I live to be 100, I will never understand why religious nuts care so much about what 2 adults do in bed with each other. Why are they so obsessed with it?

Hypocritical, sanctimonious, judgemental, oppressive twits, the lot of them.

Jess – you’re right. And I live in the religious fundamental capital of the world…

Pookie – yep… it’s everywhere and it doesn’t show signs of stopping…

Jamie – as I said to a friend this morning – anyone who cares that much about a bunch of gay people has got to be over-compensating for something!

I'm shuddering to think of the tourists you must get from our Bible Belt. Blech. Visors, fanny packs, black socks & shorts, scrunchies. ***convulsing in the horrific vision of it all***

My mother planned a trip there once, it got canceled due to the war.
