In the inmates-are-running-the-asylum department, too many cases are popping up to ignore them. Here are a few modest examples:<\/p>\n

At the state capitol in Olympia, Washington, Gov. Christine Gregoire (a Democrat, of course), has approved the placement of an atheist sign for public display next to a nativity scene. The sign reads: <\/p>\n

“At this season of THE WINTER SOLSTICE, may reason prevail. There are no gods, no devils, no angels, no heaven or hell. There is only our natural world. Religion is but myth and superstition that hardens hearts and enslaves minds. Placed by the Freedom From Religion Foundation on behalf of its Washington State Members.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Tell that “hardens hearts” nonsense to the millions of Christian believers who have been martyred down through history at the hand of atheist monsters like Stalin and Mao. Personally, I wish I could get a little freedom from the unbelievers who have so totally screwed up life in America. <\/p>\n

In an unrelated Christmas story from the Netherlands, a gay group in Amsterdam has organized a “Pink Christmas” festival featuring a nativity scene with two Josephs and two Marys. The rationale for this bizarre display is “to increase the range of options for homosexual men and women during the Christmas holiday week” and to “encourage people to think about homosexuality and religion.” Just what I want to think about at Christmastime.<\/p>\n

In Bloomington, Indiana, an undercover pro-life college student told a Planned Parenthood “nurse” that she was 13 and had been impregnated by a 31-year-old man. The nurse told the girl not to disclose her age or the age of the man. She then encouraged the girl to lie and say that the “boy” in question was 14. Apparently, local police, although they have been notified of the statutory rape implications in this case, have chosen to do nothing to investigate Planned Parenthood. They did, however, post extra security around the clinic in case of a “pro-life backlash.”<\/p>\n

In Great Britain (which is no longer so great), Muslims have so cowed the government that public schools have stopped teaching about the Holocaust. It seems that a significant percentage of the Islamic population in the U.K. (which is growing by frightening quantities) believes the same fairy tale espoused by Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad — namely that the holocaust never happened.<\/p>\n

Also in England, the popularity of chaste pop idols like the Jonas Brothers has not been exalted. In fact, girls caught wearing “purity rings,” signifying that they wanted to remain virgins until marriage, were forced to remove them. Apparently, the authorities didn’t want the slutty girls to feel ostracized.<\/p>\n
