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.

Great post. I love your footnote. That's the only problem with the reality that when we're dead, we're dead. No body gets to say either, "I told you so", or "I KNEW I was right."
