...I often pray that I be given the strength to refrain from purging the church with blood and fire. Like these idiots:

Cory Burnell wants to set up a Christian nation within the United States where abortion is illegal, gay marriage is banned, schools cannot teach evolution, children can pray to Jesus in public schools and the Ten Commandments are posted publicly.

To that end, Burnell, 29, left the Republican Party, moved from California and founded Christian Exodus two years ago with the goal of redirecting the United States by 'redeeming' one state at a time.

First up for redemption is South Carolina.

Idiots.

By the way, why are so many so-called "Christians" so obsessed with ancient Jewish law? The ten commandments were superceded by a much briefer set of rules, and if these so called "Christians" really wanted to make their point, they would insist on public display of the new rules:

Jesus said unto him, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind.
This is the first and great commandment.
And the second is like unto it, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself.
On these two commandments hang all the law and the prophets.

So there.

The Seattle Times has a brief article about the upcoming Cthulhu movie and somehow manages not to mention Tori "the Innsmouth Look" Spelling.

Notes:

Budget has increased to $500,000.

The director is using every free extra he can get his hands on for scenes of mass deep ones coming out of the ocean.

Local scenery and people are being used to (seemingly) provide authenticity and keep costs down.

Well, I'm looking forward to it. All they have to do is give Tori webbed hands, gills, and shave all her hair off. She'll be a dead ringer for one of the Marsh brood.

News here. However, with the gun restrictions passed a few years ago, I think that many otherwise law-abiding Brazilians who want to protect themselves will still have to get their guns from illegal sources, so it's not like they can just go to the nearest pawn shop and pick up a gun.

tnx to The War On Guns
