There’s simply no way that we can extend the concept of tolerance to any practitioners of the following examples of egregious stupidity:
Officials at Nepal’s state-run airline have sacrificed two goats to appease Akash Bhairab, the Hindu sky god, following technical problems with one of its Boeing 757 aircraft, the carrier said Tuesday.
Yep, goat sacrifice. In order to “fix” a mechanical fault with an airplane. Fly Royal Nepal! Now guaranteed 99% exorcised! (Look after the fold for an ad they might run in the future.)
(H/T Pharyngula)
Next we have this lovely little bit of coverage from Fort Lauderdale, FL, whereat asshat mayor Jim Naugle is still failing to recognize his own irrelevance. Extreme right-wing fundamentalist Christian shitbrains were siding with Naugle (and vice-versa) … dressed in masturbatory paramilitary uniforms. Apparently the “persecuted minority” Christians at Koinonia Worship Center in Pembroke Park, FL have decided they need to arm up and take the line “onward, Christian soldiers” a bit too damned seriously.
Gee, I wonder what would happen if similar behavior was observed at the local mosque.
And, of course, it wouldn’t be a roundup of religious retardation without yet another murder burning at the stake execution of witches:
Two South African women have been burned to death after a group of students accused them of bewitching their high school with evil spirits.
We’re putting up with this shit … why again, exactly?
