The Sudanese 'government' has sentenced a 8 month pregnant woman to death for being a christian but really being a muslim. Or maybe it's the other way around. In any case, what she did is against Sharia "law" (Hey, I got a sister named Sharia) and she must be put to death. (The actual crime is called apostasy)
NOTHING but religion can get people to be this crazy to think that this is somehow 'right'. NOTHING. I have a good friend who is a multiple black belt and he'll tell you that he'd much rather be attacked by a murderer, drug dealer, assassin then a religious zealot. There is no good way to protect yourself from c r a z y.
But this story has an even more depressing twist. Here's a quote from the woman's husband:
"I'm so frustrated. I don't know what to do," said her husband, Daniel Wani. "I'm just praying."
Praying? Praying? YOU DUMB FUCK THAT'S THE REASON YOU'RE IN THIS SHIT! Praying for help is like being in hock up to you eryeballs with a loan shark and asking to borrow another hundred bucks! Although, in his defense they'd probably be in way MORE trouble if they happened to be atheists*. Maybe praying is a good way to keep his own ass out of the fire. Just be sure to pray to the right pretend/dead person.
We're doomed.
*Actually, in fact, we're all atheists and when we die we don't get to know that.

The End of People
I don’t think we’re going to make it. Of course that only means that we’ll join the ranks of the other extinct creatures which make up about 99.9% of all the creatures that ever existed.
And good riddance.
We won’t make it for the same reason that our brethren didn’t make it. Creatures go extinct because they cannot adapt to changes and out they go. Now you’d think with our extremely large craniums we’d be able to see change coming and get a leg (or flipper) up on adaptation. Like, OH . . . , noticing climate change.
But no . .
No, we have to listen to people who deny global warming, deny evolution, deny that science actually works. Deny the idea that wiping out other species (whales, Bambi) might come back to bite us in our collective asses. Deny, deny, deny. We’re doomed by our own stubbornness to stick to our guns and especially those who actually own those sticky guns. We’re doomed by our continued marching to tunes that were written 5000 years ago. Doomed by a cave-man-like belief in magic and miracles.
We have every capacity and enough cleverness to go on and on as a species but we ain’t going to make it. That will be sad but ….
No one will be around to actually be sad*.
The planet will recover from our brief invasion and be much happier down the road.
*How weird would it be to be the last human and KNOW it?!
And good riddance.
