Return of the son of "Religion is stupid"

Modernizing Mecca

In the wake of this year's 251 deaths (not a unique occurrence) during Hajj, Saudi Arabia's King Fahd says that Mecca will be modernized over the next 20 years. Here's what he can do, and it should take no more than 20 minutes. Put up a sign saying "The Jamarat Al Aqaba is not Satan. It is a stone; therefore, it cannot be killed. (BTW, Satan is merely a human literary creation, anyway.)"

All religions can then follow suit by posting similar signs on churches, cathedrals, chapels, mosques, tabernacles, synagogues, temples, shrines, and private altars reading: "My invisible cloud being is just as imaginary as your invisible cloud being (which is redundant)," and then people could start looking at things a bit more clearly, like...

Moral hypocrisy

While some people are concerned about real issues -- like making the world a worse place by going to war under false pretenses -- others are focused on the evil of breasts:
Do the kids of America need to see Janet's breast? Is there any way for me as a father to protect my five daughters from images of women inviting their own sexual exploitation just to appear in tomorrow's tabloids?

By allowing such disgusting spectacles, the NFL degrades every athlete who took thousands of body blows though the long football season to reach the Super Bowl. This is their moment. It dare not be stolen away by Neanderthalic music miscreants. [Emphasis mine]
Pardonnez-moi, but I'd consider football (which an e-mailer calls a "Blatant Glorification of Violence") to be quite a bit more "Neanderthalic" than pop music. Did anyone "need" to see that (B.G.V.)? I consider that to be a more valid question. "By allowing such disgusting spectacles, the NFL degrades every athlete who took thousands of body blows..."?! How's that for "exploitation"?
