Global law?

I was watching the news over breakfast this morning, and there was a report on a minority religious group in Iraq. I'd never heard of this group, but then I'm pretty sheltered like that. They are called Mandaeans, and their beliefs are considered by many to be older than those of Christianity, although some schools of thought believe the sect may have been started by John the Baptist himself.

Regardless of how or when their religion was started, the Mandaeans are under threat of extinction, through murder, torture, rape, and forced conversion to Islam.

The news story focused its attention on two recent cases of abuse of Mandaeans: a jeweller who had been blinded (thereby unable to continue working his trade) by having acid thrown in his eyes, and a boy of about 10 years old who was kidnapped from outside his school and forced to jump through a bonfire to win his escape. His jump was too short and he landed in the fire, suffering burns to his body.

And I got to thinking...

Isn't it about time we got some world leaders in power who would stop all this fucking bullshit and start telling people like it is?

"There is no God. There is no higher fucking power. There is no point to your religions. Your religions that are the root cause of all the world's wars and grief. From now on, the practice of any religion is a criminal offence, punishable by life-long imprisonment. Denounce your religions. Denounce your gods. Or pay the price."

I truly believe this is what the world needs. Too many of the planet's citizens are adhering to nonsense that was invented centuries ago to keep the people in order. These "laws" were devised for an uncivilized time. We should now be beyond all that. The religious books have served their purpose and now they are being misused and abused to serve extremists' own ends. We should no longer be slaves to this sort of mind control.

Time for a cuppa?

Okay, luvs. Go on now -- go and put the kettle on. Don't wait while it boils, though; you know what they say about a watched kettle.

Then, when it's boiled, take the kettleful of boiling water and pour it over the hands of a young child. Let's say a three-year-old. Better still if it's one of your own kids. And way better if the kid's got some horrible disease, too.

And you know what's even better? Take that kid, then, and lock her in the bathroom without any food. When she gets hungry, perhaps you can force her to eat her own shit.

Are we having fun yet?

I don't know about you, but I can't think of many people who I'd wish to have scalding water poured over them. I've had friends who have been scarred for life after having accidents with pans of boiling water as children, so I've seen first-hand how these injuries look years later, even after years of cosmetic surgery.

Don't have a clue what all the above is about? Lucky you. It's about a pair of cunts in north London who were sentenced to a total of 22 years between them on Thursday for torturing their cerebral palsy-stricken daughter in just the way I described above.

I take it back about not being able to think of anyone I'd like to pour boiling water over. If anyone deserves it, it's surely these two, preferably somewhere very sensitive. The genitals sounds like a good idea.
