ON A SLIGHTLY RELATED NOTE,

News came out today, the sane, secularist majority of the E.U representatives has decided to show the finger to the Vatican and Poland and not include any sort of God or religious related crap in the E.U Constitution.

Instead, the article will read something like this:

The Union is founded in the ideals of justice, democracy and prosperity, the basic values shared by us all.

Go us!

Yes. The Pope insisted that the Constitution include the idea that human rights were granted by God. And good for the EU for telling him to stick it where the sun doesn't shine.

Fucking prick.

Well, whilst the Popes of this era are not so quick to utilize genocide and warfare, they're certainly no less persistant...

No, they're just exacerbating the AIDS epidemic in Africa by actively stifling efforts to educate the Africans about condoms and safe sex. They're not as blatant as they were, but the little fucks haven't changed a bit.
