It's not easy being an atheist because, surrounded by believers, there's nothing I can really say to stop the madness they'll engage in:More details emerge about Portland mom who is accused of trying to circumcise her baby at home
The 29-year-old mom told a Portland police detective that she’d been inspired to circumcise her baby after reading the Old Testament.
The only problem was, her son was already three months old. And she was aware that pediatricians at OHSU Doernbecher Children's Hospital wouldn’t circumcise him because he was too old, she told police.
According to papers filed in Multnomah County Circuit Court this week and obtained by The Oregonian, the prosecution publicly outlined its case for the first time:
Keemonta Peterson told police she watched some YouTube videos about circumcisions. Then around midnight on the morning of Oct. 24 - using a box cutter as a scalpel and a pair of pliers as a tourniquet - she began the procedure. She had no experience.
When the bleeding wouldn’t stop, she tried to stitch her baby up. Her 13-year-old son watched on in distress. After two hours of uncontrolled bleeding, Peterson decided she needed help and called 9-1-1 to her home near East Burnside Street and 127th Avenue.
Medics rushed the infant to OHSU, where he was initially listed in critical condition.
Pretty woman - click on the link (in red) and look at her photo - just dumb as a fucking rock. And she did it in front of her son? Man, is he going to need therapy, or what?
Speaking of women getting a little full of themselves (and thinking they're "all that and a new set of radials") here's a NewAge phenomena that's gotten more-than-a-bit out of hand with feminism:Are you looking for your inner Priestess? Better be careful if you are. The Priestess Process is New Age group psychotherapy usually "facilitated" by a psychotherapist or a person simply trained in this trademarked protocol. In the Priestess Process, through workshops and exercises (not physical exercises) a person's subconscious is deftly opened for the implantation of words, phrases, thoughts and ideas usually centered around improving self esteem and self worth. The techniques used are classic mind control/brainwashing exercises. Used by women on a journey trying to find their value, the Priestess Process may improve self worth and esteem...through false affirmations and repetition of platitudes...but, unfortunately for the participant it also creates a subconscious mind that unknowingly affects conscious normal relationships with other people who have not had the need to undergo a similar experience.
Got that, Ladies? Some people are normal and don't need help - which should tell you you've got problems - serious mental problems you won't accept, which is why you do this cock-a-mamy bullshit. You, too, probably need some therapy - real therapy. As a matter of fact, as the Priestess Process will tell you, you deserve it!
That's also not to say those lying, thieving dirty baby-killing dogs at Planned Parenthood are the ones to go for help either:When Chuckles the Sockpuppet Schumer says Democrats will “never, never, never” vote to defund Planned Parenthood, he’s not kidding. But their intransigence has nothing to do with anyone’s physical health. It has everything to do with the Democrats’ political health. They would be voting to cut off their own campaign cash, pried from the hands of taxpayers.
That's right. And I'm just as in favor of giving them money as I am my local voodoo priest:IT was past 3 a.m. in a dim basement in Flatbush, Brooklyn, and Jack Laroche, a Haitian-American computer engineer, nervously awaited his bride: a voodoo spirit named Ezili Freda who believers say has the power to lavish love and wealth and render wayward spouses impotent.
As four drummers pounded rhythmically, voodoo priestesses in bright-colored dresses danced in ecstatic circles, dousing the floor with rum and chanting, “Ayibobo!” — the voodoo “amen.” The bride’s dramatic entrance was signaled when a priestess in a shimmering pink silk dress started trembling violently, her eyes rolling toward the back of her head before she fainted. When she came to, apparently possessed by Ezili Freda, she took Mr. Laroche’s hand and nibbled on his ear coquettishly before the happy couple exchanged vows in French.
Long misunderstood and maligned in Western popular culture, voodoo has become a spiritual anchor in New York City’s vast Haitian community and in Haitian enclaves across the country as practitioners look for comfort after the devastating earthquake in the impoverished Caribbean nation last year.
In New York, where there are roughly 300,000 people who were born in Haiti or are of Haitian descent — the largest concentration in the United States — richly painted basement voodoo temples are sprinkled around Harlem and in parts of Brooklyn and Queens. Mambos, or voodoo priestesses, say they can barely keep up with “demann,” or prayer requests; spiritual love recipes to lure recalcitrant lovers are the most popular. Voodoo prayer circles in which practitioners meet to commiserate have also proliferated, with a notable intensity in the months since the earthquake.
But the world of voodoo has fallen under an unwelcome spotlight in recent weeks as a result of two episodes in which the authorities say voodoo played a central role — a fatal five-alarm fire in Brooklyn and the coming trial in Queens of a woman accused of severely burning her daughter.
Sorry, Folks, but you're not priests and priestesses but a bunch of wierdos hurting each other - and kids - so, as far as I'm concerned, the sooner we can ship the whole lot of you - feminists, Democrats, NewAge believers, voodoo whatevers, etc. - back to wherever you came from (or at least Europe) the better:
As an American atheist, I've had it.
Every time I've said the Right's money and attention was focused on the wrong people and outlets - those who are good at schmoozing, and maintaining their useless clique, but don't know how to fight and have been happily wasting time and money - I've been shouted down as a "meanie," and a sexist, and a self-serving prick, because, obviously, no one can fight better than those leading now, right? 
Instapundit reader Jody Green - March 29th, 2011:The issues facing this country at the federal level are so large and complex that only honest people have a chance of fixing the problems. We all know that we are not dealing with an honest opposition. We are dealing with people who are only trying to maintain their disgusting grip on the levers of power. See Shumer just today. This country is about to crash in a horrible “Man caused disaster” and we can not get that message to the vast majority of people. Our leadership plays games while we know the Titanic is sinking.
The Daily Caller's Mickey Kaus - March 30th, 2011:Aren’t there some rich Republicans who can save the momentum of the anti union push with an independent expenditure? …
Where are the Kochs when you need them?
iOwnTheWorld's Big Fur Hat - March 26, 2011:[If] some deep pocket conservative [could] pull together 90 of the most brilliant conservative creatives, [and] pay them a living wage,...we could BURY the left.
Charles Schumer (D-NY) is a wiener, and has always been a wiener, but now that the Tea Party's coming up, he's also becoming a whiner:I rise today to speak about the current debate over the federal budget. Yesterday, we had a very telling—and troubling—vote in the House of Representatives.
On the three-week continuing resolution needed to avoid a government shutdown on March 18, Speaker Boehner was forced to rely on votes from House Democrats in order to pass a measure he himself negotiated.
The reason was, conservative Republicans abandoned their party leadership in droves out of anger that the measure lacked special-interest add-ons dealing with ideological issues like abortion, net neutrality and global warming.
In all, 54 conservative Republicans rejected the measure—even though it was necessary to avert a shutdown, and even though it included $6 billion in cuts to domestic discretionary spending. This is a bad omen. This was not supposed to happen.
Yes it is, Chuck. That's what we sent Weepy there for - not to compromise with you, but to run over you - that's what "taking back our government" means. And he's proud to be our leader - haven't you seen him cry?The Speaker has said all along that he wants to avoid a shutdown at all costs, and I believe him. He is a good man. The problem is, a large percentage of those in his party don’t feel the same way.
They think “compromise” is a dirty word. They think taking any steps to avert a shutdown would mean being the first to blink.
That's right. Remember when we were saying your party was engaging in Liberal Fascism and you laughed at us? That didn't make you stop, or even consider compromise - you pressed on. Well, now you get to see what that feels like. Does it hurt?It’s clear that there is no path to compromise that goes through the Tea Party. We urge Speaker Boehner to push ahead without them. We are ready to work with him if he is willing to buck the extreme element of his party.
Throughout this debate, Democrats have repeatedly shown a willingness to negotiate, a willingness to meet Republicans in the middle.
And yet the rank-and-file of the House GOP has been utterly unrelenting. They've wrapped their arms around the discredited, reckless approach advanced by H.R. 1, and they won't let go.
Gee, Chuck, that reminds me of a speech I heard a few years ago - or was it a promise? Something to do with pitbulls - and lipstick,...In order to avoid a dead end on these budget talks, [Boehner] should abandon the Tea Party and work to find a bipartisan consensus. It’s the only way out of this bind.No, there's another way:
How do you like the sound of that, Chuckie?
" Just imagine, for a moment, a Chuck Schumer or John McCain standing up in the U.S. Senate to call for a probe into John Travolta's bizarro buddies and the allegations -- proven many times over in numerous court cases -- that Scientology is more economic scam than 'religion.'"-- Tony Ortega, in The Village Voice.
I hear you, buddy. Really. 
But then I'd have to imagine a totally different world - one where people were capable of serious thought - but, under the circumstances, that's just not realistic:
"James Arthur Ray had spent the money that customers prepaid for future events when his business collapsed in October, according to a class-action lawsuit a Tucson attorney filed against Ray.-- The Arizona Daily Star
In the suit, filed by local lawyer Todd Jackson, plaintiffs estimate that 1,000 or more people had prepaid James Ray International for future events when three people died at a Ray event near Sedona on Oct. 3. When Ray's business subsequently stopped holding new events, no money was left to pay back customers who had prepaid as much as $12,000 for future events, the complaint says.
Jackson, representing Ray customers Susan Smyser, Patricia Franklin and Kim Wilson, filed the suit in Maricopa County Superior Court April 2.
The three women had separately fronted about $24,000 to Ray's company for events scheduled for 2009, 2010 and even 2011: '21st Century Alchemy 2010,' 'Urban Shaman,' 'Quantum Leap 2009,' and 'Practical Mysticism 2010,' among others."
Now how can I imagine a truly "enlightened" world when I see women so stupid it could be argued they already got their money's worth out of these deals: 
Using 21st Century Alchemy, this Urban Shaman took their minds on a Quantum Leap into Practical Mysticism, and now their money is gone, too. 
See? The "spiritual contract" is fulfilled! It worked! Lesson learned. You're goofy, bless your heart, now get outta here.
But then they do get outta here, and then what happens?
"A self-described Wiccan had a man's phone number programmed in her cell phone under the word 'sacrifice' before she stabbed him to death, then claimed he had tried to rape her, authorities said Thursday."-- Sue Major Holmes, writing for The Associated Press.

They're NewAgers, people: 
You can't turn your back on 'em for a second.
