As promised, here’s the second half of the TADD list from 2009.\u00c2\u00a0 This are culled from the second half of last years leftover bookmarks.\u00c2\u00a0 They document all kinds of things things done by believers, from the horrific to the hilarious.<\/p>\n

A group of 35 clerics in Saudi Arabia has declared<\/a> that no woman should ever appear on TV, nor should any image of any women be allowed in any magazine or newspaper.\u00c2\u00a0\u00c2\u00a0\u00c2\u00a0 A woman who dared to not only appear on Saudi TV but to actually discuss sex was sentenced to 60 lashes<\/a>.<\/p>\n

This book<\/a> wasn’t written by an atheist<\/p>\n

In Illinois a gaggle of ignorant Christians, under the banner of the Illinois Family Institute<\/a>,\u00c2\u00a0 have attempted to get The Friendly Atheist<\/a> (who runs one of the calmest, least snarky atheism sites on the net) fired from his teaching position because he has a blog about . . . gasp! . . .Atheism!<\/p>\n

In Minneapolis a pastor told his congregation<\/a> a tornado was God’s way of punishing Lutherans for not hating gays enough.<\/p>\n

In Kenya people, including children, are still being killed and maimed<\/a> because someone, not an atheist, has labeled them a witch.<\/p>\n

Muslim women should still be sexy under their Burkas, but only for their husbands.\u00c2\u00a0 With that in mind, a new line of body covering clothes<\/a> will allow them to work out at the gym without their head scarves getting caught in the equipment.<\/p>\n

Wiley Drake, who believes the nut job who murdered Dr. Tiller was an answer to his prayers, told his followers they should be praying for Obama’s death<\/a>.<\/p>\n

When Pastor Manning was questioned about using the N word while declaring Obama the antichrist, he justified it by explaining the word is also used by Kanye West, P. Diddy and Snoop Dog.\u00c2\u00a0 I was surprised to learn they were religious leaders too.<\/p>\n

Islam forbids homosexuality.\u00c2\u00a0 Pedophilia with young boys is just fine<\/a>, though, which isn’t surprising considering Mohamed was a pedophile.<\/p>\n

This pastor, whose holy vestments consist of coveralls and a dirty t-shirt, is organizing a book burning.\u00c2\u00a0 Not only is he burning books written by fellow Christians he disagrees with, but any bible that’s not the King James version, which he considers the only true word of god.\u00c2\u00a0 Surprisingly, his congregation consists of only 14 people.<\/p>\n

Novels, plays and, of course, cartoons are being withheld from publication<\/a> or performance for fear of attacks by the Religion of Peace.<\/p>\n

Four people drowned<\/a> during a baptism ceremony in South Africa. People, people, you’re not supposed to hold them under that <\/em>long.<\/p>\n

Jehovah’s Witnesses berate the Catholic clergy, but they do have one big thing in common \u00e2\u20ac\u201c sheltering, aiding and abetting pedophiles.\u00c2\u00a0 This<\/a> is a transcript of a BBC documentary on the subject.\u00c2\u00a0 This<\/a> is the first of a 13 part BBC series on the issue.\u00c2\u00a0 This<\/a> is me having some fun at their expense over at the rather useless Yahoo Answers.<\/p>\n

Here’s<\/a> a good argument against becoming a religious vegetarian.\u00c2\u00a0 (Warning: This is a link to pictures of face piercings that are graphic and disgusting.)<\/p>\n

If you\u00e2\u20ac\u2122re a Muslim father in Phoenix, upset that your daughter has become too “westernized,” what do you do?\u00c2\u00a0 Run over her with your car<\/a>, of course.\u00c2\u00a0 And just for good measure, hit her roommate too.\u00c2\u00a0\u00c2\u00a0 If you’re in Somalia, of course, you just half-bury her and then stone her to death<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Not being Muslim is no excuse<\/a> for eating during Ramadan.<\/p>\n

In Washington DC the Catholic Church says they help tens of thousands of people with adoption, homelessness and health care.\u00c2\u00a0 When DC proposed a same-sex marriage law, they lovingly threatened to pull out<\/a> {insert your own birth control joke here} unless the law was changed to please them.<\/p>\n

In Nigeria a 15-year-old-girl was put into protective custody to protect her from a lynch mob.\u00c2\u00a0 They wanted to murder her<\/a> because they believed she had changed into a cat, and then back into a girl.<\/p>\n

Warning:<\/strong> This next link contains extremely graphic, very disturbing photos.<\/span> These are professional portraits of Muslim women who have had acid thrown in their faces.\u00c2\u00a0 If you are even slightly squeamish or prone to nightmares I recommend you move on to the next entry on the list.\u00c2\u00a0 These are horrible and heartbreaking.\u00c2\u00a0 This is not hyperbole.\u00c2\u00a0 If you still want to see them, click here<\/a>.<\/p>\n

And last of all, to finish things up on a lighter note, here’s a list of some incredibly stupid\/funny things<\/a> spewed by the overly religious.\u00c2\u00a0 One of my favorites: “I believe my son has a girlfriend, because she left a dirty magazine with men in it under his bed.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
