TV footage of one of the historic hotels in Kalgoorlie-Boulder that was badly damaged in the earthquake a few days back shows a sign out front proclaiming "skimpy barmaids" will be waitressing.

There you go. Scientific evidence that God exists. He must have smite the town of Kalgoorlie due to the skimpy waitresses. Perhaps He will smite Kings Cross next and rid us of the city's underbelly at the same time.:D

Re: Religion gone crazy!

Find it highly amusing that these religious zealots point the finger towards those countries that are earthquake prone, to being lax with the dress codes.

I`d really appreciate if someone could fill me in as to why for thousand of years Iran and Iraq have been earthquake central. Where are the skimpy clad women there?

And when my partner walks through the house in her birthday suit that`s when things really start to shake:)

Christians and Islamists going crazy.

First the Christians. Death penalty to be imposed in Uganda for being gay.

And the Islamists think women wearing revealing clothing is causing earthquakes

It appears there is going to be some scientific testing of the earthquake theory. In the US, 55,000 people have signed up for boobquake. The women whose idea it was said "I encourage other female sceptics to join me and embrace the supposed supernatural power of their breasts".

If you are religious, better avoid the US due to higher risk of earthquakes

Hardline Somali Militants Ban Music on Airwaves
Somalia's radio stations stop playing music after hardline militants label it un-Islamic

Rock, rap and love songs once filled the airwaves in Somalia's war-torn capital, one of the few pleasures residents had. But Islamist militants ordered music off the air Tuesday, labeling it un-Islamic in a hardline edict reminiscent of the Taliban.

Stations immediately complied, fearful that disc jockeys would face the harsh punishment militants mete out here: amputations and stonings. The edict is the latest unpopular order from the Islamists, who also have banned bras, musical ringtones and movies.

Priest conducts 'bizarre' faith healing

Indeed... and it says something about the quality of priests when there is a call for more to join the priesthood and hanging on to many existing ones that should go, although this one is not the worst by any means to not be kicked out.

While the Church did not condone the bizarre service, he said it was standing by the priest in his time of need, though he would not be allowed to give mass until he was better.

Creationists hijack lessons and teach schoolkids man and dinosaurs walked together

PRIMARY school students are being taught that man and dinosaurs walked the Earth together and that there is fossil evidence to prove it.

Fundamentalist Christians are hijacking Religious Instruction (RI) classes in Queensland despite education experts saying Creationism and attempts to convert children to Christianity have no place in state schools.

Students have been told Noah collected dinosaur eggs to bring on the Ark, and Adam and Eve were not eaten by dinosaurs because they were under a protective spell.

Critics are calling for the RI program to be scrapped after claims emerged Christian lay people are feeding children misinformation.

About 80 per cent of children at state primary schools attend one half-hour instruction a week, open to any interested lay person to conduct.

Church to burn copies of Koran to mark 9/11

A FLORIDA church was yesterday promoting an event where it will burn copies of the Koran to mark the ninth anniversary of the September 11 attacks on the U.S.

In the announcement on its Facebook page, The Dove World Outreach Center of Gainesville, Florida, asked other religious groups to join in standing "against the evil of Islam. Islam is of the devil!"

The Facebook event has received more than 1,500 "Like" recommendations by users, but had also been attacked with a number of threatening messages posted on the page and corresponding anti-Islam rants.

The church's pastor, Terry Jones - who has written a book titled "Islam is of The Devil" and sells T-shirts bearing the same message - defended the controversial event.

Re: Religion gone crazy!

Pakistan is going crazy!!

The Prophet was an illiterate skitzo desert warrior.

That comment alone puts me in the clink at best in Pakistan. At worst I get to be burried up to my neck and stoned to death by a mob of skitzo illiterate unemployed cave dwellers.

Get in to the 21st Century you imbeciles!!!!

Pakistani protesters warn pope over blasphemy laws
By Reza Sayah, CNN
January 15, 2011 -- Updated 1124 GMT (1924 HKT)

Rawalpindi, Pakistan (CNN) -- At a frenzied Friday rally in this garrison city outside of Islamabad, thousands warned Pope Benedict XVI to keep his nose out of the debate over Pakistan's blasphemy laws.

The demonstration came days after the Vatican called for Pakistan to repeal the controversial laws that say anyone who defiles the name of the Muslim prophet Mohammed should face the death penalty or life imprisonment.

"If you challenge the prophet, we will take revenge. It doesn't matter who does it," shouted a cleric on loudspeakers to thousands of cheering onlookers.

Pakistan's blasphemy laws came into sharp focus when a security guard allegedly killed his boss Salman Taseer, the governor of Pakistan's Punjab province, who criticize the laws.

Since the shooting, hardline religious groups have held demonstrations praising suspected killer Muhammad Mumtaz Qadri -- who Pakistan's Interior Minister says confessed to the killing -- calling him a hero and a defender of Islam.

Sounds familiar.
"Wollt ihr den totalen Krieg?" = "Do you want Total War?" shouted Goebbels into the microphone. And thousands of mesmerised believers roared back "Yes! Sieg Heil!"
Can you imagine what would have happened if Hitler had had the first atomic bomb?

If we can't stop radicals such as Ibrahim Siddiq-Conlon and Muhammad Mumtaz Qadri in their tracks right now, Auschwitz and Hiroshima will pale into insignificance compared to what lies ahead. Like boognish said: "These imbeciles have nukes."
 
Re: Religion gone crazy!

Looks like another eyebrow rising information.

One religion is so keen in Australia that we have more than 60% of chicken here blessed and prepared certain way that 2% of our population have chicken suitable for their consumption.

(To be sarcastic: We are probably getting ready for change in population percentages and as usual Kosovo comes to mind)

To tell the truth I’d prefer MY food left alone out of that compulsory religionification.

How come nobody makes a fuss in a vegetarian or an unlicensed restaurant.
Go to Annalakshmi and ask for a steak, and the staff will politely reply "This is a vegetarian restaurant."
Go to an unlicensed cafe and ask for the wine list, and your misunderstanding will also be politely explained.
An idiot in a KFC going ballistic - set up or not - that is the difference! And it's got zip to do with civil liberties or the Law.

If your religion turns you into a nut case, stay in the madhouse where such belief is the norm. But in a country, where the majority maintains and expects tolerance and an open mind, don't claim protection that is reserved for minorities, who can't help their minority status: the disabled, frail, or otherwise handicapped.
Remember: Some advocates for drug addicts also complain it's not their fault. But they at least agree that the victims need help and detox.

Exactly!! And what about people who ARE vegetarians who find themselves sharing food with meat eaters, at a barbeque, say. Do they go ballistic and start throwing furniture around? I think not. Or non-drinkers at a gathering with people drinking alcohol.......... do they voice loud objections? Not if they want to keep their friends. Civilised people adhere to their beliefs quietly and allow others to indulge in theirs.

I don't suppose the KFC worker was sacked for his rude and voilent outburst. I wonder what would happen to another (non muslim) employee who was so rude to a customer?

As Pixel says, this has nothing to do with civil liberties. Terry O'Gorman with his bleatings does more harm than good, in my view.
