CONGRATS, NEW ORLEANS!

Your ‘theological’ nonsense is revolting. Don’t speak for Haiti, and don’t speak for God. Haiti is suffering a catastrophe and you offer silliness at best, and racism at the worst. Haiti was the first island in the Western hemisphere to overthrow slavery and white oppression — this is what you call a pact with the Devil? God’s heart is breaking with this tragedy, and ours should be too. You never had much credibility — but now it is all gone.

If you type, “Buddhism is” or “Christianity is,” Google will quickly show you suggestions for what it thinks you might be trying to type. In the former query’s case, the Google guesses “not a religion,” “wrong,” “not what you think.” Christianity gets tougher treatment with the suggestions “bullshit” and “not a religion.”
But the query “Islam is”? Not a thing comes to mind for Google to suggest. (Search results are still there, of course.)
It’s enough to get some to conclude Google is censoring itself, perhaps as a result of complaints for suggestions that one guesses are just as flattering as those for other faiths. (via Wired)

In “Utter Bullshit News of the Day”, an eight-year-old from Massachusetts was suspended from school and forced to undergo psychological evaluation because he drew a photo depicting Jesus Christ on the cross. The boy drew this when asked by his teacher to “draw something that reminded him of Christmas”.
“As far as I’m concerned, they’re violating his religion,” the boy’s father said.

Your New Moon festivals and your appointed feasts,
my soul hates.
They have become a burden to me;
I am weary of bearing them.—
So is God implying to see 2012 instead?

Leaving a prayer at the Western Wall has never been easier.
The Western Wall, or Kotel as its officially known, is offering petitioners the chance to send them their prayers via their Twitter page where they will be printed out and left at the Wall.
In a statement released on their website, tweetyourprayers.info, the Kotel’s main reason for accepting prayer tweets was to give everyone a chance to leave their prayers at the Wall.
“It seemed perfectly sensible, almost trivial, to provide anyone on the planet the opportunity to quickly and easily place his prayer in the Kotel. Tweeting only takes a few seconds and its substantially easier, quicker and cheaper than hoping on a plane to Israel,” read the release.
