Posessed?

There have been a number of stories like this one the last few days, about the Catholic hierarchy beating up on the Girl Scouts.  I know, it seems like something from Monty Python, but it is all too real, and it comes in succession to stories about the Vatican sticking it to nuns who want nothing but some measure of fairness for the people that Christ told them to care about; and on the heels also of you-know-what, which Bishops did everything they could to hide from the world.

Now, I'm getting damned sick of talking about this evil institution, but I do have a question to ask:  Not believing in these sorts of things myself, I'd like someone who does believe in Satan, demons, posession and all the rest of it, how they can possibly believe that the Catholic Church hierarchy has not literally become posessed by Satan.  What else could explain this endless succession of the most bestial behavior from the Church?

Oh, of course, there's the explanation that their whole religious rigamarole was never anything but a pile of malicious nonsense, and they were never anything more than a highly organized bunch of crooks out to do any damned thing they pleased.

Can anyone enlighten me?

It's Okay, Never Mind

The woman in this picture, equipped with the weapons and ammunition shown, was found outside a National guard base. She is apparently a big Glenn Beck fan, and believed that the base was a FEMA concentration camp. Think she's the only one out there? You just know this sort of thing is not going to end well.

Wingnut Wrapup

 Well, I haven't done one of these in a while, but I thought it might be fun to see what the wingnuts are "thinking" lately, so let's just dive in: And the big news: "Breaking! Trump Just Truthed He's "The Real Commander-In-Chief" Well, he said it.  It must be true.  He "truthed" it! You know it wouldn't take long for this sort of "reporting" to happen: "Maui Directed Energy Weapon Assault, Like 9/11, Paradise, CA., Malibu and Boulder Fires" Of course, it can't be the result of global warming.  It must be the deep state attacking Hawaii for some reason.  That makes much more sense.  Here's a small selection of headlines from the dozens and dozens of other articles about this alleged treachery: "New Patriot Underground: Hawaiian Wildfire: Possible DEW Attack" Maui: "An Orchestrated Apocalypse" "Maui Hawaii Has DUMBs Underground 8 to 10 Sex Trafficking Tunnels We Just Lasered Them Out!

Hamas

  Of ocurse I am going to take the opportunity to talk about the Hamas attack on Israel.   First, I'd like to talk about my background, or baggage, regarding the country.   I have lived in Israel, some years ago.   This was not for religious reasons; I spent several months there working on a movie.   During pre-production, weeks of location scouting and shooting the movie, I was all over the country, and spent a fair amount of time in the West Bank, where we also shot.   This included a lot of places that normal tourists would not see, including predominantly Arab areas such as East Jerusalem, the Arab quarter of the old city, Ramla and the southern part of Jaffa, which is predominantly Arab.   It also included heavily Orthodox areas like Mea Shearim.   I dealt with Israeli Arabs, Palestinians and Bedouins.     Here are a few things I believe I learned there:   First of all, the Palestinians I knew were perfectly normal people with the same interest in living a safe, secure
