Today I want to say a few things about the world's three great religions - Christianity, Warmalarmism, and Muslamism which I mention in that order because while I don't respect the tenets of any of them, Christians only try to advance their beliefs by being annoying, while Warmalarmists want to tax and control people, and Muslamists will just kill you if you don't like what they're selling.
Also, compared to the other two, Christianity is rarely in the news, and I'm sure you agree that when it comes to religion, no news is good news?!?
Plus, when there is news, Christians are usually only a little wacky, WAs are insane, and Mussies are, more often than not, downright scary (for lack of a scarier term).
Although Pope Benedict, better known as "Eggs," did recently say that combating warming was a "moral imperative," which, of course, raises the question, Don't you have other matters of faith to deal with, pops? Like... the news of six nuns who have been excommunicated (thrown out, not separated from their heads) from the Catholic Church because they refused to give up their membership in a Canadian group - The Community of the Lady of All Nations, aka, the Army of Mary, whose founder claims to be possessed by the Virgin Mary herself.
And who can blame the nuns, since the Catholic doctrine behind all the Church's teachings is: "Better safe than sorry?"
The nuns aren't Canadian though. In fact, nuns are to Canada about like gays are to Iran. No, our ex-nuns are from the Good Shepherd Monastery of Our Lady of Charity and Refuge in... Hot Springs, Ark. - Ark the herald angels sang, eh?
And get this, the six aren't moving out of their convent since they won it, which makes one wonder what will be the Church's equivalent of the Waco siege?
82-year-old ex-nun, Sister Mary Theresa Dionne, one of the nuns excommunicated, said:
"We are at peace and we know that for us we are doing the right thing. We pray that the church will open their (sic) eyes before it is too late."
Remember, better safe than sorry.
A spokesman for the Army of Mary, Father Eric Roy, said Mary impersonator Marie Paule Giguere has not claimed to be the reincarnation of the Virgin Mary. He said the 86-year-old Quebec woman "receives graces" and that "The Virgin Mary took possession of her soul. I would rather say it that way."
Turning to the Warmalarmists, a bunch of Canadian scientists (if that's not a contradiction in terms) took a trip up north (and I'm talkin' damn north, as compared to what Americans think of as "north") and were stunned... STUNNED, by the amount of melting they saw. No mention was made of whether the trip was paid for out of the hundred million or so dollars the Canadian government gave the group or whether it's a separate chargeable expense.
And Quebec has imposed the first "carbon tax," to, as the news dispatch put it, "fund the province's plans to reduce emissions."
Why I'll bet, if you're a Warmalarmist, you happier than a polar bear in the Arctic used to be before all the melting, am I right?
Well, there's another article which you most likely missed because it didn't make Reuters or the AP until today. It's about sugar cane cutters (SCCs) in Brazil. That report talks about the backbreaking work, low pay, and the large uptick in serious cane related diseases the Brazilian laborers have to contend with.
But if ethanol saves the life of one polar bear, it's all worth it, and those Canadian scientists have asked the bears to document any perceived improvements in their living conditions that result from the Quebec tax. Quebecers will no doubt do the same, and my bet is that the bears respond first.
And finally, we turn to news from the Wonderful World of Islam. Manny and the Mullahs over in Iran have labeled the CIA a "terrorist organization," which proves how little they know about America or they would have given that label to the IRS.
Meanwhile, a New York Congressman says there are too many mosques in America which may be an all-time understatement since one mosque could easily be considered too many, and two an epidemic.
Which reminds me, a new TV series premiered last night which features a Muslim exchange student from Pakistan, and while the American family expressed initial consternation, it's amazing how funny and down-to-Earth regular Muslims are. No doubt future episodes will also show how much wiser he is than the average American.
Finally, there's the story of the Malaysian Muslim astronaut which is so amazing that it demands it's own space, ha ha... but trust me, this one is a blast.
