Catholic

Bummed

Today’s state of Mexico is like Deadwood but with fancier guns and bigger buildings. Over the past 2 years, I think people in Mexico have killed more state officials and drug lords than they have mosquitos. I think they shot the recect documentary, Predators in Mexico. And I also think the movie Valhalla Rising is a look at life in modern day Mexico. Good thing Mexico is trying to clean up its image.

Here in the state of Guanajuato, where Roman Catholic conservatives have controlled government for more than 15 years, it is standard procedure to investigate suspected cases of abortion. The fear of being investigated means that even some women who want to be pregnant but have complications or lose the baby “have to think twice about going to a hospital,” said Nadine Goodman, who runs a school for midwives in the Guanajuato town of San Miguel de Allende.

Wonderful. So if you’re thinking of walking the streets or trying to raise a family in parts of Mexico, you might want to rethink the “Mexico” part.

A $1 Million Bill! Proof!

It used to be that if you saw Jesus’ face on tree bark or a muffin or whatever, you’d have to show the world a picture before 17 news vans and thousands of people would come flock to you. Apparently, these days you can just state that you saw the bearded one on something and it’s good enough to be on the news.

A Massachusetts woman who recently separated from her husband and had her hours cut at work says an image of Jesus Christ she sees on her iron has reassured her that “life is going to be good.”

The 1.2 billion real people around the world who live on less than a $1 a day would also like to let her know that her life is still quite good, indeed.

The 44-year-old Mary Jo Coady was raised Catholic. She and her two college-age daughters agree that the image looks like Jesus and is proof that “he’s listening.”

Proof. What an interesting word. Thank goodness the 2 college-age daughters were there to add validity to the truthful hypothesis. Religious fanatics have no problem using the word proof when dirty residue resembles the image of someone they’ve never seen. But God forbid you provide them with a surplus of actual scientific information proving to them the age of the earth or the fact of evolution, and suddenly that kind of “proof” holds no water.

How this idiotic happening in Massachusetts was reported in a San Francisco paper is staggering and embarrassing on all accounts. I should call them up and tell them that I don’t remember my dreams from last night and it’s a sign that Jesus is not listening.
