I still think that a lot of people in mass are secretly thinking this:

A sex club in Nashville, Tennessee, has become a church so it can keep its building:

An oldie, but faintly appropriate:

Why do people treat us with the same contempt we show homosexuals, ask Catholics

Following a rejection of gay lifestyles, leading Catholics have expressed concern that they are being treated with the sort of contempt they normally reserve for homosexuals. More than 200 bishops from around the world spent time at the Vatican debating controversial subjects such as ‘being nice to everyone regardless of sexuality or marriage history’, before deciding such a move was probably a bad idea.

Leading Catholic bishops will now launch a leaflet which says, “We are proud of our tradition of tolerance towards straight people and our historic commitment to welcoming perfectly heterosexual strangers. Obviously it goes without saying that any strangers would have to complete a questionnaire to ascertain their sexual preference before we start rolling out the red carpet for them.”

The campaign promoted by the bishops is called “Not Ashamed Day” and is being organised by catholics who are worried that they are unable to do and say whatever they want, about whomever they want, whenever they want – without question. A group spokesperson told us, “The thought of men joined in a sordid daisy chain of sodomy, their muscular frames glistening with sweat as they explore each other’s bodies… Probing, caressing, licking…ahem, these aren’t things that catholics want to have to think about, let alone deal with,” they revealed, before holding a Bible in front of their groin.

Terry Sanderson, president of the National Secular Society has criticised the Catholic campaign amid further claims by leading bishops that Christmas is “something of which some are ashamed.” “Everyone loves Christmas!” He insisted. “We get a few extra days of work and on Christmas day you can get a bit drunk by mid-morning without feeling like you’ve got an alcohol problem. What’s not to like?”

“The only thing wrong with Christmas is the bit about Christ, and the mass thing. But the timing makes perfect sense when you think about it. I mean, Jesus is basically Santa Claus for grown-ups.”

Allah May Not Be As Akbar As Initially Thought, Suggests Report

A NEW report published today by an independent commission has hinted that when it comes to being Akbar, Allah may be falling way off the pace.
The study revealed that the levels of Akbar-ness that Allah held for many years have taken a nose-dive in recent times, possibly due to instances in which Allah was declared to be very Akbar, or ‘great’ by people who were at the time not acting in a very Akbar manner.

‘Allahu Akbar’ is a traditional and commonplace expression in the Muslim faith, referred to as the Takbir, which means ‘God is great’ or ‘God is greatest’.
Due to the number of times a person or persons exclaimed the Takbir while committing acts of violence, commonly Jihadi in nature, people across the world have come to doubt just how Akbar Allah actually is.

Although predominantly used as a one-size-fits-all Islamic prayer, the Takbir gets more coverage in Western media when it is used by people engaged in very un-Akbar activities. Video footage of terrorists across the world yelling ‘Allahu Akbar’ while firing weapons at civilians or decapitating hostages has led to a global belief that if Allah really is that Akbar, surely he wouldn’t be all that happy these atrocities are continuing on a daily basis.

“Look, we’re all for this notion that Allah is in fact Akbar,” said Dr. Muamar O’Neill, who oversaw the project into public perception of Allah Akbarrity.
“It’s just that we so rarely see examples of this in the world. Whenever we see these exclamations in the West, it’s accompanied by either a scene of pure hatred such as a suicide bomber blowing himself up, or someone firing an automatic weapon at a crowd of people. The Akbar-ness we are hearing about does not tally with the not so great images we are seeing”.

Since many people are simply incapable of disassociating such a phrase from the context of it being used by fundamentalists, Dr. O’Neill has taken action.
“As such, we’ve had to downgrade Allah from “Akbar” to “potentially Akbar”. If Allah wants his old title back, then he and his followers will have to earn it. We’ll conduct our study again next year, but we do warn that further downgrades could see Allah facing “not Akbar at all” levels”.

Although Allah was unavailable for comment, some of his most vocal supporters have rubbished the report, claiming that Allah is and always will be Akbar while threatening death to those that disagree, which hasn’t helped Allah’s case for Akbarality in the slightest.
