The moderate United Arab\u00c2\u00a0Emirates\u00c2\u00a0was kinder to a woman who was gang raped by six men. \u00c2\u00a0They only sentenced her to one year<\/a> in\u00c2\u00a0prison\u00c2\u00a0for\u00c2\u00a0extramarital\u00c2\u00a0sex. \u00c2\u00a0She avoided a sentence of flogging and life in prison by dropping the charges against her rapists, including the one who laughed at her in court.<\/p>\n Baptists don’t murder or\u00c2\u00a0imprison\u00c2\u00a0our rape\u00c2\u00a0victims\u00c2\u00a0in the US. \u00c2\u00a0They just ask them if they\u00c2\u00a0enjoyed\u00c2\u00a0it, then make them stand in front of the\u00c2\u00a0congregation\u00c2\u00a0and confess their sins<\/a>. \u00c2\u00a0 And when their pregnancy is the result of being raped by a\u00c2\u00a0deacon, well, that must have been God’s will.<\/p>\n And if you rape a cow in Bali, you’ll have to marry it<\/a> even if it seduced you, to cure the village of\u00c2\u00a0bestiality, but then the cow is drowned. \u00c2\u00a0I’m\u00c2\u00a0guessing\u00c2\u00a0that’s followed by a reception where\u00c2\u00a0everyone\u00c2\u00a0is served very <\/em>fresh hamburgers.<\/p>\n In\u00c2\u00a0Tehran the vice police ordered breasts be removed from manikins, resulting in this bizare photo<\/a>.<\/p>\n In Washington state a man claimed he led police on a 100 MPH high speed chase to honor his God<\/a>. \u00c2\u00a0Evidently his God was busy the day of the trial – he was convicted.<\/p>\n Ever wonder what it’s like to be finger-banged by Jesus? \u00c2\u00a0Now you know<\/a>.

This just shows you they themselves are upholding the laws that are even in the Bible of the Judeo-Christian God, but they seem to be more moral than even the American Christians do, because these people are livid about enforcing their laws. They know homosexuality is an abomination.\u00e2\u20ac\u009d<\/p>\n Lawmakers in\u00c2\u00a0Louisiana\u00c2\u00a0dealt with the gulf\u00c2\u00a0oil disaster by declaring a day of prayer<\/a>,\u00c2\u00a0which worked really<\/em> well.<\/p>\n Atheists aren’t known for invading\u00c2\u00a0churches\u00c2\u00a0and\u00c2\u00a0passing\u00c2\u00a0out books by Dawkins or Hitchens, but Father John Parnell claims Jehovah’s Witnesses walked into his church and started handing out their tracts<\/a>. \u00c2\u00a0He also claims they told his daughter, ‘You are going to be burned into the eternal fires of Gehenna if you don’t listen to what I say.” Bzzzt!
