MEDIA RELEASE
Pell opens Christmyth slagging season early with usual cheap shot
Atheists are astonished by the latest attempt from Cardinal George Pell, Catholic Archbishop of Sydney, to demonise the growing number of Australians who live without religion.
Speaking at a Mass celebrating the appointment of General Peter Cosgrove as Chancellor of the Australian Catholic University, Pell preached that atheists “are frightened by the future.”
He went on to say that “It's almost as though they've … nothing but fear to distract themselves from the fact that without God the universe has no objective purpose or meaning. Nothing beyond the constructs they confect to cover the abyss.”
Once again, Pell’s comments fly in the face of all evidence. In truth, atheists live their lives with an integrity and intellectual rigour that Pell and his Church can only dream of.
Far from seeking to cover the abyss, the atheist looks a hostile universe full in its face without recourse to the emotional security blanket of religion and the supernatural. Unlike Pell’s Church (which has become a byword for superstition and resistance to scientific thinking) the atheist sees the world on its own terms, without the rose-tinted glasses of the promise of an afterlife.
Not content with mischaracterising atheism as weak and fearful, Pell went on to make the extraordinary proposition that “Australian society will become increasingly coarse and uncaring … if Christian principles are excluded from public discussion.”
To state that without the supervision of the Church the Australian people would turn to delinquency is frankly insulting. Hundreds of thousands of atheists and agnostics around the world live their lives ethically and with integrity.
Perhaps what Pell finds so threatening is that they do so according to principles drawn from their own reason and experience, not from slavish obedience to the adulterated writings of ancient and ignorant tent-living goat herders.
Moreover, given the damage that “Christian principles” have inflicted (Northern Ireland and the former Yugoslavia to name two recent examples), surely they days of Catholics claiming moral superiority should be over.

Due to a freak masturbation accident I've had to pull out of our dinner/gig engagement tonite.
Sorry guys.
I value 3 things above all else...my dick, my hands, and a prize if you can guess what else...?
hehehe ;-)
...and I just like this pic so had to post it!!!
...and these ones too!!!

This is amazing! Forward this message to 5 people and within 30 minutes fuck all will happen. I tried it twice and it worked both times. Absolutely fuck all happened !!! This really works, pass this on more people need to know.
Possibly harsh, but my pet hate!
Guess who is the largest employer in Australia who does not pay payroll tax, Catholic Church!
Largest property holder in the country that pays no land tax or council rates, Catholic Church!
Guess who pays no capital gains tax either?? You may see a pattern here!
Who owns Sanitarium and pays no tax whatsoever on their profits from this business activity, The Church of the Latter Day Saints!
Even those fruit loops, the Scientologists pay no tax at all!! Whilst the rest of us pay for services they wish to use gratis.
If you want to never pay tax again, become a minister of religion. It's easy!
Your church pays you a small salary (you need a bit of cash for the pub) say around $7,000 a year, no tax on that. Everything else you need in life, mortgage payments, food, cars, hookers, whatever, just have the church provide it as a fringe benefit! Guess what?? The only person exempt from Fringe Benefits Tax is a minister of religion!!! Never pay tax again in your life and be on as much income as you want!
We can thank the Scientologists for this sad state of affairs in Australia! A number of years ago we had a little tax case , Scientologists v Office of State Revenue.
This case set the rules for what constitutes a religion under Australian law, accessing all of the above tax benefits, it provides a definition of religion.
It's really easy! Believe in the supernatural, have some sort of ritual observences, have a religious text, and a couple of other minor conditions!!! It's shit easy!
I have no issue with giving organisations tax deductions for their charitable works, but exempting them from any responsibility towards the infrastructure cost of this country that we live in is obscene!
..and besides, the 26% of us in Australia professing to have no religion whatsoever do not wish to pay for those living in their god delusion, not to mention to support the inherent discrimiation against those who adhere to other delusions!
We should remove this discriminatory tax treatment! Level the playing field, now!
I'll take my soapbox home now!! ;-)

This is an SMS sent by a guy who go trapped on a Sydney Citirail train in a holding tunnel underground for 5 hours with no way to contact anyone or escape!
Sorry for being absent today. I have been stuck on an empty train, alone, that went to the rest area instead of my intended destination. I boarded the train, that seemed about to depart, under the watchful eye of two train staff. At the time of writing this, I've been on here for about 3 hours, and I'm guessing I won't get off until peak hour rolls around again, near 5 (which is when you will likely get this).
There is, of course, no reception in the recesses of the train tunnel. There is an emergency button / device to communicate with some unseen Cityrail official, but it doesn't seem to work. My guess is that it only patches you through to the driver, and there isn't one at the moment, as the train is decidedly sedentary. So the little red button and speaker system only serve to mock me.
One would think that the emergency device would link you up to the station house, just for such occasions, or for when the driver is somehow incapacitated. But that would involve the use of some form of CB or walkie-talkie technology, which has only been publicly available for the past 50 years or so.
There are emergency phones in the train tunnel, but there's no way to reach them as I can't get the train doors open. They mock me as well, as I stare at them through the marred plexiglass windows, scratched by the asinine markings of artistically challenged teenagers.
In fact, most of the things on this train mock me at the moment, including the useless emergency instructions, the occasional noises that make it sound like the train is going to start moving (but it doesn't) and the note on the driver's compartment reading: 'authorised staff only. Emergencies excepted'. Since the door is firmly locked, and I lack the superhuman strength to tear it asunder, one wonders the circumstances in which a passenger would even be able to access the compartment. Just to be clear, I don't want to drive the train. Just thought there might be some form of functioning communication device inside.
So, I periodically beat the plexiglass windows and metal polls with my umbrella (which is now in several pieces), in the vain hope that someone will hear me. Other than that, I'm catching up on my reading. I just started 'The Good Thief', and, as you can imagine, I'm now well into it. It's ironic, because I just read a review of it in the paper the other day that called it "the best book to read when you're stuck on a Sydney train for 7 hours, because Cityrail is packed with a bunch of hopeless fuckwits". I thought the language a bit strong, but I can tell you friends, that now that I find myself in that very circumstance, I echo the sentiment.
The one saving grace is that the lights and airconditioning are still on. This initially gave me hope that the train would be redeployed soon, but no such luck. It then led to two thoughts:
1) Do they leave the lights and aircon on, because people get trapped in the trains often? In which case, they really need to reconsider their policies and procedures; and
2) How much is it costing to keep light and aircon operating on trains all day that are just sitting around and what are the climate emissions from this wasteful activity? One would think that the money saved from not doing this could be used to upgrade the emergency communication device so that trapped passengers could actually call someone (thus negating the need to keep trapped passengers well lit and in comfort during their long hours of confinement). The rest of the saved expenses could be used to reduce the insanely high fares for a public transport service that compares badly to some in the developing world.
This led to a final thought, being that this train might not be used for days or longer, and they'll eventually find my corpse on the floor of the train, middle finger firmly extended. They'll have to bring in that emotionally repressed anthropologist from 'Bones' along with the guy who used to be on 'Buffy' to determine the cause of death: the abject dumbfuckery of Sydney Cityrail. Case closed.
Well, back to my reading now. Perhaps you will all see me on Today Tonight tomorrow as I foam at the mouth and curse Sydney public transport. Until then, good luck with the campaigning.
Cheers,
Mark
PS - Cityrail owes me a fucking umbrella.

Why God never got a PhD :-)
1. He had only one major publication.
2. It was written in Aramaic, not in English.
3. It has no references.
4. It wasn't even published in a refereed journal.
5. There are serious doubts he wrote it himself.
6. It may be true that he created the world, but what has he done since then?
7. His cooperative efforts have been quite limited.
8. The Scientific community has had a hard time replicating his results.
9. He unlawfully performed not only Animal, but *Human* testing.
10. When one experiment went awry, he tried to cover it by drowning his subjects.
11. When subjects didn't behave as predicted, he deleted them from the sample.
12. He rarely came to class, just told his students to read the book.
13. Some say he had his son to teach the class.
14. He expelled his first two students for learning.
15. Although there were only 10 requirements, most of his students failed his tests.
16. His office hours were infrequent and usually held on a mountain top.

RIP James Freud!!!!!!!
I'm very very sad!! James Freud, co-lead singer and guitarist/bassist of the seminal post punk Aussie band Models died a few days ago. He committed suicide following a long fight with his alcoholism, unfortunately it finally beat him!
My video eulogy! Some of my favourite old Models tracks!
The man was a rock god!!
(James has the black hair and good looks!)
R.I.P James, we will miss you!!!
