Pope Benedict (Ratzinger) involved in Child Rape Cover-up
The New York Times broke news this week that Pope Benedict (formerly Cardinal Ratzinger) played a heavy hand in dismissing a Wisconsin case against a priest who had raped over 200 deaf boys at the religious school where he ministered.
The American priest Rev. Lawrence C. Murphy worked at a school for the deaf in Wisconsin from 1950-1974. During that time he raped and sexually mollested over 200 students.
The Catholic Priesthood is breeding grounds for child rape. First, the priesthood attracts gay men because it is offered as the only viable vocation for a gay Catholic teenage boy. Studying in the seminary, living with other gay men does not help their situation either. Secondly, the Catholic Church requires all their followers (but especially priests and nuns) to refrain completely from masturbation. This unnatural request leads to a sexual build up that is truly unhealthy when trying to live a life without the opportunity for sexual release. Sexual release is a natural need of the human body. Wet dreams are the body’s way of satisfying this need if it is not dutifully taken care of. Thirdly, when you combine homophobia and this unhealthy view of masturbation and sex with settings where priests are in unsupervised contact with young naive children (who are not taught about sex and masturbation) you end up with a lethal cocktail of child rape.
The Ten Commandments Revised: Christopher Hitchens
Another brilliant article by Christopher Hitchens. This one deals with the outdated and very useless 10 commandments of the Judeo Christian religions. He brings up many fabulous observations about how the bible actually has four versions of the 10 commandments within the Old Testament and how the first 4 commandments have nothing to do with how to behave but rather demand that its followers grovel before their god. Here is an excerpt from his Vanity Fair Article:

Documentary: The God Who Was Not There
Where do you think this quote comes from? “He who will not eat of my body and drink of my blood, so that he will be made one with me and I with him, the same shall not know salvation” Sounds like it came from John’s gospel and indeed, John did say something very similar when he put these word’s into Jesus’ mouth: “Unless you eat of the flesh of the son of Man and drink his blood, you have not life in yourselves. Whoever eats my flesh and drinks my blood will live in me and I in him” The first quote is from the Mysteries of Mithra, a deity who was worshiped hundreds of years before the gospel writers. Mithra’s popularity as a deity grew alongside Christianity, with it’s high point occurring in the 3rd Century AD. Mithra’s narrative parallels that of Jesus with striking similarity.
