Nightmare at Market Square

So, it’s a lovely Saturday morning, you’re walking along the street with your kids, out doing the shopping.

You and the younguns suddenly come across black hooded figures clustered around an apparently severely injured man, half naked and smeared head-to-toe with blood, nailed to a pole.

Your 6 year old ducks behind you in wide-eyed terror at the sight of rivulets of streaming blood. The 4 year old just wails.

The perpetrators insist it’s a ‘happy message.’ They call scaring the hell out of your children ‘doing good.’

I’d like the perps to explain that to the kids’ child psychologist.

Bear in mind that the same perps are lobbying politicians to ban display of magazines with women in bikinis on the cover. Sex = bad, bloody violence = good?

Mkay.

Agree. Only upside is that it illustrates, for any kids getting fed some god bother at school or in the media and feeling confused, just how nutty and preposterous it all really is.

Jesusporn for religious wankers. Most people have the decency to watch their porn in private and don’t push it in someone’s face.

Weez.. Weez… If ones children were already properly desensitized to the sight of the tortured savior they would not be bothered. Hmmph.

Too right, rainie. To reduce harm to children’s psyches, there should be bloody, tortured bodies hanging from scaffolding every few blocks.

There ya go. It would put the fear of god in them.

To use the inimitable words of The Hyneman, “Waaaal, THERE’S yer PRAWBLEM.” Not enough fear of gods. If the xians’ god would just GET DOWN and SMITE SOME MUTHAFUCKIN’ ASS, the little bastards would fall right in line.

After all, external loci of control works so well for everyone.
