...against Jesus.
| Quote: |
A satiric sketch on Channel 10 television prompted dozens of Christians in the Galilee to demonstrate against the channel this weekend, while the heads of local Christian churches published a denunciation of their own.
In their denunciation, the clergymen accused the skit of fomenting interreligious hatred.
The skit, which aired on Lior Shlein's nightly program, was called "Like a Virgin," after the Madonna song.

After the show aired, the local Christian community demanded an apology from Shlein and even threatened a lawsuit against him and Channel 10; attorneys are now examining whether there are legal grounds for such a suit. Christian and Muslim clergymen also urged Pope Benedict XVI to cancel his planned trip here later this year. In addition, two Knesset members, Hanna Swaid (Hadash) and Nadia Hilou (Labor), demanded that Attorney General Menachem Mazuz order a criminal investigation of Shlein and Channel 10.

They're just a bunch of power-seeking graspers with no place in the modern world. No wonder they're freaked out and angry. They're on the wrong side of history, but they'll be damned if they're gonna go out quietly.
They are left with the remaining option of exposing themselves as a pack of gangsters involved in a desperate attempt to perpetuate the scam of religion (which has been milking humanity since time virtually forgotten). What we are witnessing is the death-knell of their ideas. They surely aren't gonna go down without a fight, but go down they undoubtedly eventually will.
Although I have nothing against the idea of spirituality per se, (or those who consider themselves to be spiritualists) clearly religion was created by Man as an excellent means of perpetuating the social, political and economic control of the Great Unwashed. Knowing this, it should be clear that those rooting for humanity must also look forward to the day when self-serving religious con-artists will mercifully be put out of work. |

I didn't know communism could talk!
Though, Marx was very strong an this issue:
�� criticism of religion is the premise of all criticism�
I don't get to say this often, sooo... I agree with Marx! |
