Healyhatman, the 220 Doctor from the Rimor server of Anarchy Online - hates Creationists, ID Proponents, Tom Cruise. Likes cute pictures of cats and bunny rabbits.
The UN wants to pass a BINDING resolution, which it will urge all member countries to enact, making it illegal to defame religions, particularly Islam.
I haven't posted in a while but this has bought me out. The Islamist gynoxenophobic fuckcake countries managed to force the UN to pass a non-binding resolution against defamation of religion and now it wants to force us all not to blaspheme.
WHAT THE FUCK? It would be illegal to say anything bad about any religion. It would be illegal to even talk about a link between Islam and terrorism. Fuck, it would be illegal to say anything bad about SCIENTOLOGY!
Christians should be worried about this too - sure it will protect them from anything defamatory about Christianity, but they won't be allowed to say anything about any other religion. Does that include saying that Christianity is the only true religion? Maybe - that would be saying that Islam is not the right religion and therefore illegal under the resolution.
Good luck getting America to agree to this, UN. You've become the bitch of the Islamists.
Ah the joys of StumbleUpon. I recently came across an article in Wikipedia titled "Acid Throwing". Yet another reason to hate religious stupidity. And men who don't strictly qualify in the classical sense to be men. Apparently it's quite prevalent in (surprise surprise) a certain few Islamic countries, already known for their idiocy when it comes to the application of their particular religious fairytale.
According to New York Times reporter Nicholas D. Kristof, acid attacks are at an all time high in Pakistan and increasing every year. The attacks are typically the work of men against their wives who have "dishonored them"
According to a Rand Corporation commentary, hundreds of women in Pakistan, Kashmir, and Afghanistan have been blinded or maimed "when acid was thrown on their unveiled faces by male fanatics who considered them improperly dressed". Attacks or threats of attacks on women who failed to wear hijab or were otherwise "immodestly dressed" have been reported in other countries as well.
These attacks are common in Cambodia,[6] Afganistan,[7] India,[8] Bangladesh,[3][4] Pakistan,[3] and other Asian countries.
As if killing women wasn't enough, weak male pieces of shit need to defend their senses and prevent themselves from sinning by performing disgusting sneak attacks on defenceless women.
For once I agree with something that Iran does. They have a law that states that a man found guilty of an Acid Attack on a woman is punished in the same manner. As they fucking should be. Bangladesh wimps out on inflicting the same excruciating pain and unimaginable horror on perpetrators - they just kill them. Not sure which method I prefer.
Pakistan has a similar law to Iran, which they apparently don't bother enforcing very often.
In South Asia acid is most commonly used as a revenge on women who reject sexual advances. That's right: A segment of the male population there is so unbelievably insecure that rejection of sexual advances is seen as grounds for permanent disfigurement.
Either way, I support Iran (strangely enough) on this one.
Regardless, Muslims should be disgusted at their extremist brethren again and citizens of those other countries need to hang their heads in shame. What the fuck is wrong with a country that lets this sort of thing happen?
Jack Black plays Jesus and makes some incredibly embarrassing remarks regarding gutless Christians who like to pick and choose the parts of the bible they want to adhere to. Jack isn't the only celebrity supporting the fight against Christian ignorance and homophobia.
Here are a few terrible terrible pieces of propaganda I've found on my various trips to the toilets at the Belmont McDonald's. They're usually stuffed in the space between the toilet roll holder and the wall, or stuck to the wall itself.
Please note that I am quoting these pamphlets word-for-word. There is no embellishment whatsoever, nor do I correct any grammatical mistakes, spelling mistakes, punctuation, nothing. The whole lot is [sic]'ed. Also note that there are a couple I collected but have since lost. Also also note that most of these unashamed pieces of shit end up where pieces of shit are supposed to end up.
Enjoy.
What Does A Lost Eternity Mean?
A lost eternity simply means all People who refuse the claims of "Jesus Christ" as Saviour of this fallen sinful world; will end up in a Place called hell. The Bible makes this perfectly clear. The only escape from such a dreadful place ( where their worm e.g. Soul Dies not) is to acknowledge 'jesus Christ' as your sin bearer, and Saviour. The scriptures are 100% clear, where God Himself says; I have no pleasure in the destruction of the wicked. That means you and me. Jesus said, I died for your Sin.
(And on the reverse...)

Okay so that one? Not so bad. Not really.
THE BIBLE YOUR SCIENCE BOOK
The Bible is scientifically accurate. The God of the Bible is the God who created the universe. True science and scripture will always agree-they both have the same author! no statement in the scripture \s is scientifically incorrect. Science can tabulate the what, analyze the how. And probe the why, but it can't tell the where from, nor the reason for which the universe exists. It can't say who you are, or why you are here. It can tell us what we're able to do, but not what we ought to do. At the same time the Bible was written, people thought the world was flat, not round, and held up by 3 elephants. This belief comes from over 2500 years ago. it was Columbus who discovered the world was round some 500 years ago. Have you not known? have you not heard? have you not understood from the foundations of the earth It is He hat sits on the circle of the earth. ( Isaiah 40:21-22) Who told Isiah the earth was round? "He stretches out the north over empty space, and hangs the earth on nothing." ( Job 26: 7) There are many other astounding scientific facts Scripture presented centuries before it became part of man's "knowledge". The Lord God says, >>>
And over on the next page...
"Prove me now-I am the Lord...I will speak, and the word that I speak shall come to pass." In the brief Life of Jesus we see over 300 fulfilled prophecies. The odds that these would coincide by accident in one person are laughable. There's not one mathematician alive that has come even close to figuring out the odds of this being fulfilled in one person. Ivan Panin the Great Russian mathematician took 50 years of intense bible study to prove the accuracy of the Bible numerically. He concluded that it would have taken 1,000 years to write the first chapter of the book of Mathew concerning Genialities and fulfilled prophecy alone Note: all the early manuscripts are written in Hebrew & Greek with numeric value to each consonant and valve. Its conclusive said Panin a divine mind must have been behind the compiling of both old and new testament writings. Hundreds of prophecies are currently coming to pass, including weather predictions, also the middle east phenomena concerning Israel etc. Do you have Salvation ? Panin became a believer in Jesus Christ I BELIEVE THE HUMAN RACE IS NOW AT THE CROSS ROADS ROMANS 10: 9. That if you will confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus, and shall believe in your heart that God has raised Him from the dead you will be saved. (Do you believe in life after death ? )
Now I don't care what you say, nor do I care how crazily fundamentalist you are regarding the innerancy of the bible: a large amount of what that particular pamphlet goes on about is total bullshit. Take for example the part where Columbus discovered that the earth was round: a commonly held misconception and one that fundamentalist Christians are usually the first to point out as such to provide a defence against claims that religious persons of the past believed in a flat earth. What about where they said that the belief in a flat earth held up by elephants is from 2500 years ago? Is that when they're saying the Old Testament was written? So when during the events of the Old Testament are they saying that the bible was given to humanity "by God" ? How is it that these people take a line like "circle of the earth" and translate that to mean that the bible says the earth is a sphere? Last time I checked, circles were 2-Dimensional objects and spheres are 3-Dimensional. All this ignores completely the statement that not only is God the "author" of science, but that nothing in the bible is scientifically incorrect. Funnily enough, this is the second worst pamphlet I have collected from these people - it's just a shame that the number one position is held by a scrap of paper that I have since lost.
Does God Exist?
# Over 2000 prophecies have been fulfilled to date as recorded in the Bible. # Jesus Christ was seen alive for 40 days by over 500 people after His crucifixion. # Its accurately recorded in the Bible that He raised people from the dead. # His claim of coming into this world to save mankind from his sin has never been proven to be false. In fact all who received Him and believed in Him found great peace. The deaf, blind, demon possessed, cripples from birth, all received perfect wholeness. There been none to equal Him. He claimed to be the light of the world. # Jesus Christ Had power over the elements. He spoke to the raging storm and brought immediate calm. # Jesus knew the thoughts of all men, but never boasted. # He spoke of a heaven, and a hell, and said no human could be saved from hell without Him. Jesus warned the human race against hell.
And once again; over the page.
THE BIBLE ISN'T LIKE ANY OTHER BOOK THAT'S EVER BEEN WRITTEN... The claims of the Bible are unlike any other book- its not a human book! God called His word living. But unless you have a rock solid commitment to truth, the Bible won't change you life. On the other hand if you have a desire to know the truth you will find it. Many of the eastern thought forms use Scripture. They use it to capture peoples hearts. That's because the bible is so powerful you can't ignore it. God has built life into his word, and all of the strong cults rip it off. They steal bits out of the Bible and use it to try to justify the lies they tell. Schools tell students we humans eveolved out of some slimy substance millions of years ago. What a lie! Plain common sense will argue against such rubbish. Read the Genesis of creation in the bible. In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth, Gen 1: 1. If there is one thing the Bible dares to do; that no other book in the world does, it's to accurately predict the future. All keen Bible students know we are fast approaching judgement. The middle east speaks loud and clear of pending judgement. Where do you stand. Jesus Christ said; "I am the way the truth and the life no man comes to the Father but by me" ... F. B.
And there you have it. Those are the three pamphlets I currently have in my possession and they are all encumbered by a few unavoidable truths: the people who wrote them are desperate, stupid and gullible.
I won't be going through each of these pointing out the problems - there are far too many for me to be bothered wasting my time with. Talk about the problems you find in the comments if you like and I'll join in. Should be interesting... if anyone actually reads this far. :)
I recently visited the Sydney Anglican Heretics blog for some twisted reason and saw in the comments the following:
The question of 'time' is an interesting one, and the disjunct produced between God's creating and its eventuating in theistic evolution is strongly linked, in my mind to the embarrasement at the physical in gnosticism that results in the 'demiurge'. For SADists, I think that the simple physical attribute of 'time' has become a demiurge that separates God from creation. This is entirely contrary to the Bible, which, at every turn has the language of immediacy in relation to God and creation.
The immediacy strikes an important theological note, IMO, putting us in a close, not a distant relation to God and making the relationship intimate, not cool. If something stands between us and God in the genealogy of creation (to which Scripture is opposed, I might add), then we are not from God's hand and breath, but from something else, some sort of 'machine' that made us as a mere 'output' and not in an act of fellowship and love.
What I would like to ask is this: why is there such a huge aversion amongst Young Earth Creationists to the idea that humans weren't made instantly? There seems to be a huge fear that if God didn't make us in our current form sometime within the last 10,000 years, then he mustn't love us as much.
Tell me this, married Young-Earth-Creationists: does your partner love you any less because they met you later in life then they would if they had met you when you were born? I doubt it. Why then should time have any impact on the level to which your God loves you? If he loves you, what difference does it make whether you evolved or he made you out of dirt?
What is it about the Congo that makes its inhabitants so blatantly stupid, so over-the-top insane with what could most likely be termed religious-based mental inhibition? Please note that in this case I'm not blaming Christianity. But another Witchcraft related death in the Congo? It's starting to get a little cliche. This time, it was a soccer riot. An all too common occurence apparently in many less-well-off countries. Maybe because they literally have nothing better to do.
The soccer riot was allegedly caused when police (or military?) personnel fired into the air in an effort to calm the rioting crowd. Panic ensued, causing the deaths of 13 people - most of them children.
What sparked the riot, you ask? Well, maybe you didn't ask. Which, given the overarching theme of this blog, doesn't matter - because you're getting told anyway.
KINSHASA, Congo (AP) — Accusations that a soccer player was using witchcraft during a match in eastern Congo sparked a riot that killed 13 people, a U.N.-funded radio station reported Monday.
Most of the victims were between the ages of 11 and 16, Radio Okapi said. They were suffocated as panicked crowds ran for the exits during the mayhem Sunday in Butembo in eastern Congo's North Kivu province.
Radio Okapi said police tried to control the violence at Matokeo stadium by firing into the air to protect their commander, who was hit in the head and wounded by fans.
The two local clubs involved were Socozaki and Nyuki System, the radio said.
Dozens of teenagers marched through Butembo's dirt streets Monday in protest, and the regional governor, Julien Mpaluku, paid a visit to the hospital.
Mpaluku said the government was investigating.
He made no mention of witchcraft, but confirmed that soldiers had fired into the air to calm angry crowds. The shooting prompted panic instead, which became fatal "when the crowds all tried to leave at the same time."
"Most of the dead were children, only two or three were adults," Mpaluku said.
North Kivu has been the epicenter of violence between Congo's army and rebels over the last year which has displaced hundreds of thousands of people.
Oh yes, dear reader (google analytics says there's still one of you that checks daily: Hi!). Once again, lives have been lost in the Congo because the stupid, stupid stupid people that live there believe in things like Witchcraft. You might not have read my blogpost months earlier regarding the deaths (and even arrests) of people accused of using black magic to shrink innocent victims' penises. In the Congo. What the fucking McFuck Burger Meal is wrong with that country, and is everyone that lives there as stupid as the associated press makes them out to be?
Probably not, but the fact that this sort of shit happens at all, along with the apparent fact that there are so many willing participants in such mass superstitious lunacy, begs the question: why? Why are so many Congolese so horribly stupid? Wherein lies the blame for their obvious and severe mental deficiencies?
Those of you who care or who read things like "the news" may know that there are new draft regulations doing the rounds of the American... Congress? Senate? Whatever section their travesty of a so-called democracy refers to in this case, that's where these regulations are doing the rounds. Designed to "protect workers" from having to do things that "go against their beliefs and morals", the regulations are far too broad and will most likely end up having disastrous consequences.
WASHINGTON — The Bush administration Thursday announced plans to implement a controversial regulation designed to protect antiabortion healthcare workers from being required to deliver services against their personal beliefs.
The rule empowers federal health officials to pull funding from more than 584,000 hospitals, clinics, health plans, doctors’ offices and other entities that do not accommodate employees who refuse to participate in care they find objectionable on personal, moral or religious grounds.
“People should not be forced to say or do things they believe are morally wrong,” Health and Human Services Secretary Mike Leavitt said. “Healthcare workers should not be forced to provide services that violate their own conscience.”
So - can anyone think of what is wrong with this? Not yet?
But both supporters and critics said the proposed regulation remained broad enough to protect pharmacists, doctors, nurses and others from having to provide birth control pills, Plan B emergency contraception and other forms of contraception. And both groups said the regulation would explicitly allow workers to withhold information about such services and refuse to refer patients elsewhere.
Leavitt said he requested the new regulation after becoming alarmed by reports that healthcare workers were being pressured to take actions they considered immoral. He cited moves by two doctor organizations that he said might require antiabortion doctors to refer patients to abortion providers.
If you're still acting stupid I'll spell it out for you.
Not only will doctors, nurses, pharmacists and health care workers be allowed to refuse to treat someone in a way they find amoral, they can refuse to provide information or refer them to someone who can provide the required service.
Now the Christians might think this sounds like a fantastic idea. But the problem with it is that the language doesn't say that the health care workers can refuse to give abortions and refuse to give information about them: it's "anything they object to on moral grounds". That language doesn't just apply to abortions: for example, a cleaner can refuse to clean the section of the hospital (or the floor) that abortions are performed in or on and get away with it. Doctors can refuse to give emergency contraception to rape victims, and take a more active role in preventing the patient from getting such contraception. Muslim women doctors can keep their sleeves down and wash just their hands (as opposed to the whole forearm up to the elbow)... The list goes on and on, further than even rampaging Christians should be willing to go.
Sorry to not have blogged in so long but the language and overly-broad nature of this disturbing new Bush administration policy is more than a little disconcerting. The American health care system is failing as it is and most assuredly does not need any more incentive to dissolve into a medieval cesspit.
I'm not even happy that bush is leaving soon - because the world is losing one stupid blind-faith Christian and replacing it with another. It's about time the world's "superpower" got a leader who won't go with what his particular interpretation of a bronze-age nomadic scroll says to go with.
Saw this on Christian Pwnage. But there are slightly more complex issues. Obviously the atheists in the post aren't taking their debaptism ceremony seriously in any way. It's all a good bit of fun and, just as with a "real" baptism it's all about the symbolism. It would, for example, be a great way for me to finally show my mother that yes, I am an atheist. She still maintains that I was baptised a Catholic and am therefore a Catholic. Maybe a debaptism would give me the edge, the ability to say "well, as my certificate" (there would obviously be a certificate in my debaptism) "shows, I am no longer baptised and therefore no longer Catholic."
Anyway on to the earlier alluded "more complex issues".
In some parts of the world (*cough splutter cough cough*) LIKE AMERICA when a child is baptised their names and details are entered into a registry and kept permanently. It is either impossible or very difficult for an atheist or convert to get themselves OFF these lists. A debaptism ceremony seems like just the thing to prove your absolute intent to remove yourself from such religious lists.
I think, after all this writing, that I may have erred in calling the issue "more complex" - it's simple. It's also slightly aggravating that such a thing goes on.
It was a long road - dusty, winding, bordered on both sides by a thick and foreboding forest said to harbour dark secrets from before the very age of man itself. Curves hiding the scale and length of the thing - stretching back into a seeming infinity of pitfalls and peril.
And Healyhatman was nearing the end. So I finally have employment. After a long "sabbatical" of listing my occupation as "between jobs" I can now stand firm and bellow forth the mighty words "computer sales and technician". Doesn't sound exciting to you, Mr or Mrs hoighty-toighty fancy-pants? Well fuck off and choke on your food, because I get to work with computers - my number 1 passion on this pale blue dot.
In the story of Noah's Ark, which animals didn't get to ride on the boat? According to the bible that is - I'm sure there are many references to what sorts of animals aren't allowed in.
Any creationists reading this - step up to the plate please. Yeah that's all for now.
My sister an mother have some Ecuadorian pilgrims staying over for World Catholic Youth Day. Last night we had a barbeque and, in the spirit of being a good ambassador for Australia, I took them all down to the pub. We had some beers, played some pool. A few of the female pilgrims are actually kind of hot. Plus they all have accents which doesn't hurt any.
Eventually through processes unknown we came around to the topic of why I don't believe in their God. The Mexican guy whose name I can't this very second remember came up with some arguments - "very simple to prove God" he says. Some of the others put their 2 pesos in as well. Here they are. Please remember the bulk of these are in a fair approximation of English and spoken with a heavy accent.
1) "If you deny God it's because he exists, otherwise you couldn't deny him." 1.a I countered by denying that he was purple and that a green fairy-dragon was standing next to me. Neither of those two things actually occurred. 2) *Places some pool balls on the pool table*. "Let's wait and see if it turns into life" 2.a They're non-reacting inorganic solids. What's more they're sheltered inside in the air. Of course they're not going to magically turn into life otherwise you couldn't own anything physical for more than a few months it'd all turn to goo. Scientists most assuredly don't claim that life arose from inert and solid objects sitting in the open air. 3) "Who made this table? An intelligent being! etc etc etc! So something intelligent must have made you! etc etc etc!" 3.a Standard theistic/creationist argument. If you don't know how to counter it yet you should - the table is a non-living entity. It doesn't breed, it doesn't reproduce, it doesn't grow from a tiny little embryo into a big grown-up pool table. Comparing such an object to a living organism is like comparing apples and metal oranges painted pink. 4) "What about the miracles? People all the time get cured of cancer..." 4.a What about the amputees? Why don't we hear hundreds of stories about amputees regenerating lost limbs? 4.1 "They probably didn't have enough faith" 4.1.a Pretty easy to call bullshit on that one.
At the end of it all when it was time to go, one of the girls said it was God's will that they had come tonight and talked to me and that I would now have doubts about the non-existence of God and would start to believe. Aside from the fact that their arguments were woeful (I don't think they've ever really talked to atheists before or at least not debated with them) what does God making them come to the pub and making me take them say about their (and my) much- and oft-vaunted free will?
In America (of course) a university student recently protested the use of student funds to support on-campus Church Services went to mass, received the Eucharist - and proceeded not to eat it. Death threats and rage have allegedly poured in from Catholics around the world.
From irReligion.org, the Richard Dawkins website, Christian Pwnage... all sorts of places.
A University of Central Florida student, upset religious groups hold church services on public campuses, is holding hostage the Eucharist, an object so sacred to Catholics they call it the Body of Christ.
Church officials say UCF Student Senator Webster Cook was disruptive and disrespectful when he attended Mass held on campus Sunday June 29. It was during that Mass where Cook admits he obtained the Eucharist.
The Eucharist is a small bread wafer blessed by a priest. According to Catholics, the wafer becomes the Body of Christ once blessed and is to be consumed immediately after a minister passes it out to churchgoers.
Cook claims he planned to consume it, but first wanted to show it to a fellow student senator he brought to Mass who was curious about the Catholic faith.
“When I received the Eucharist, my intention was to bring it back to my seat to show him,” Cook said. “I took about three steps from the woman distributing the Eucharist and someone grabbed the inside of my elbow and blocked the path in front of me. At that point I put it in my mouth so they’d leave me alone and I went back to my seat and I removed it from my mouth.”
A church leader was watching, confronted Cook and tried to recover the sacred bread. Cook said she crossed the line and that’s why he brought it home with him.
“She came up behind me, grabbed my wrist with her right hand, with her left hand grabbed my fingers and was trying to pry them open to get the Eucharist out of my hand,” Cook said, adding she wouldn’t immediately take her hands off him despite several requests.
If it wasn't bad enough that he was nominally assaulted by an over-zealous church leader:
“We don’t know 100% what Mr. Cooks motivation was,” said Susan Fani a spokesperson with the local Catholic diocese. “However, if anything were to qualify as a hate crime, to us this seems like this might be it.”
We just expect the University to take this seriously,” she added “To send a message to not just Mr. Cook but the whole community that this kind of really complete sacrilege will not be tolerated.”
Now, some Christians might not see what is wrong with that statement, but remove your emotional response to it for a while and put it like this: this person classifies a hate crime as "taking a bread wafer and not eating it".
Killing Jews is a hate crime. Hanging black people is a hate crime. Petrol-bombing stores owned by Arabs and Asians is a hate crime. Taking a wafer and not eating it? Not exactly on the same level.
Sending this guy death threats because he didn't eat their sacred bread circle? Hate crime.
Well if I can manage it I fully plan on being at the protests wearing an offensive slogan on my t-shirt, holding up an annoying banner. I'm currently googling around looking for specifics on organisations I can join up with. Anyone know of any, anyone planning on going as well? Why protest, why not leave them alone in their faith? Several reasons.
The new laws governing how you can protest that have been enacted are too broad, too draconian, too easy to abuse. They desecrate the concept and implementation of free speech, freedom of association.
The catholic church has a lot to answer for - why are paedophile clergymen shifted around parishes where they can sexually abuse a whole new set of children instead of being dismissed from the church? Why did the catholic pope back in the day support Hitler? Why weren't more Nazi war criminals excommunicated and why were some of them even given help escaping? Why does the pope continue to lie about condoms, which could be saving millions in Africa from contracting Aids?
I'm an atheist - the idea that my country has spent millions on a religious event and is inconveniencing hundreds of thousands of citizens for some worshippers offends me. It's not like the church isn't fucking rich or anything of course.
So yes. Any details from people who are going, thinking of going, know who best to contact about going - leave them in the comments thanks.
... are a complete and utter travesty against democracy. As has been said over and over the last few days, these laws are overly broad and turn a civil matter into a criminal one. I am beyond words in describing how ridiculous these laws are, beyond words describing how ridiculous the thought that the rumour going around, that the laws might be made permanent, could be true.
Where were these laws when the Dalai Llama came for a visit? Where were the police cracking down on Chinese protesters trying to drown out the leader's meditation classes?
But suddenly the leader of a Christian faith comes calling and the government falls over itself in the excitement - throwing money at it, making up bullshit laws, sucking papal dick, anything to let in the homophobic anti-condom bastard that looks a little too like Vader's Dark-Side teach, Darth scaryface. Or like the uncle from Adam's Family.
As an anti-religious blogger there's not much in the news that can beat the regular disgusting insanity gushing forth from Saudi Arabia like a metaphysical wave of madness and terror. A Saudi marriage officiant has stated the following in an interview:
It Is Allowed to Marry a Girl at the Age of One, If Sex Is postponed. The Prophet Muhammad, Whose Model We Follow, Married 'Aisha When She Was Six and Had Sex with Her When She Was Nine.
Say fucking WHAT now? Personally guys I don't give a flying rat-like fuck if sex is postponed - you're locking a baby who hasn't yet the mental faculty to talk into a life-long contract with a man who will probably be at least 30 by the time she hits 16. That is, of course, hoping fervently that sex really is postponed that long.
And what is this about Mohammed having sex with a 9 year old girl? Why have I never heard of this? Is it a joke, a falsification tossed about by Saudi's as an excuse for fucking pre-teen children? If Mohammed had sex with a kid hey, it's alright for all of us!
The officiant says that marriage is just a contract indicating consent. Of course, since women are possessions in Saudi Arabia it's indicating consent of the father not of the baby who can't do more than gurgle happily, blissfully unaware she's already been sold off like a pig to market. Consider the following:
People find themselves in all kinds of circumstances. Take, for example, a man who has two, three, or four daughters. He does not have any wives, but he needs to go on a trip. Isn't it better to marry his daughter to a man, who will protect and sustain her, and when she reaches the proper age, he will have sex with her? Who says all men are ferocious wolves?
Excuse me sir... If the father needs to go for a trip? What exactly does that have to do with selling your daughters; is it to pay for the trip or so you don't have to look after them while you're off enjoying yourself?
All this from a country that has a law banning women from driving, that executes women accused of witchcraft, that allows arranged marriages between first cousins and now the country that condones paedophilia.
America should be ashamed of dealing with these disgusting pigs and yet - they have oil in Saudi Arabia so they're "allies".
