good idea, prof!


bof: do NOT post that letter here. thanks in advance.

One of the most irrational of all the conventions of modern society is the one to the effect that religious opinions should be respected....That they should have this immunity is an outrage. There is nothing in religious ideas, as a class, to lift them above other ideas. On the contrary, they are always dubious and often quite silly.

Any more support/objections/other contenders?
If not, I suggest our Senior Shitlord Scribe (that's you P. Boid) does what he does with his proven finesse.

Stop the Holy See men!

The answer to that can be found right here (it appears that the answer is no).

I think I found a new contestant for SLOTW!

Meet Dave Schultheis. He's a Colorado Springs Republican senator who values Biblical interpretations and right-wing philosophy over human life. His favorite color is red, and he likes long walks on the beach.

...Schultheis said he'd rather that HIV-positive women did pass the deadly virus onto their children, so that their suffering would remind society about the dangers of sexual promiscuity. "This stems from sexual promiscuity for the most part and I just can't go there," he was quoted as saying. "We do things continually to remove the consequences of poor behavior, unacceptable behavior, quite frankly.

"What I'm hoping is that, yes, that person may have AIDS, have it seriously as a baby and when they grow up, but the mother will begin to feel guilt as a result of that," he continued. "The family will see the negative consequences of that promiscuity and it may make a number of people over the coming years begin to realize that there are negative consequences and maybe they should adjust their behavior."


He's won Schmuck of the Week from the Denver Westword Blogs. I nominate Dave for Shitlord of the Week. I hope you all agree.

Isn't 'Schultheis' Klingon for 'Shitlord'?

didn't we crown Palin SLOTY 08? It's not on the front page.

You can always turn tricks for a few extra bucks. If looks are an issue, there's the glory hole option, but don't expect more than ... tips.

Doesn't SLOTY have its own thread?

This (Schultheis' "reasoning") has the taint of feeding Christians to the lions in an attempt to show Christologists (still love that word) that their invisible god ain't gonna save them from imminent harm. Didn't work 2,000 years ago, did it?
