more grumpiness

New South Wales tax payers - that's me - are going to have to fork out eighty-odd million dollars for World Youth Day. Organised by the Catholic Church, happening in July and attracting thousands of impressionable young children to a field just outside of the City centre, I hardly think that sum will come anywhere near covering the legal costs if the priests get their way...I wonder if that last sentance, containing the words Catholic Church, priests, children, come and near near will make it past the porn filter?

I object to a lot about the tax system, mostly because I'm ignorant, but in this case I think I am on firmer ground with my outrage. I'm a fucking atheist, my tax dollars should not go to the Catholic Church. I wonder how the local Muslim and jewish

...interesting...both the words muslim and jewish were underlined as spelling mistakes. When I looked at my corrective options the machine wanted a capital M for the word Muslim, but wanted to change jewish for newish...I digress...

Digression over and I've pretty much finished this rant. Back to the TV news and Pope Benny Evil the whateverth is at ground zero sayng how we should all try to get along better, and some local Noo Yoiker is spouting on about how after 911 he thought God had abandoned them but today he was back. Oh dear.

And don't get me started on the new seven deadly sins...for the record

Polluting, genetic engineering, obscene riches, taking drugs, abortion, pedophilia and causing social injustice join the original seven deadly sins defined by Pope Gregory the Great in the sixth century: pride, envy, gluttony, greed, lust, wrath and sloth.

Obscene riches? Well that's the Pope fucked then. Pedophilia? Make up your own jokes, none of which are actually funny when you think about it...

This may be my last post for some time; apparently, according to Pope Greg, I get dismembered alive as punishment for my anger. Seems a bit harsh, you could just ask me to calm down a bit.

Time for bed.
