from the edge of the deep green sea

This post, like many others, was inspired by a post at the Fusil De Chispas, a Costa Rican blog worth reading.

The whole insanity can be explained this way:

1. Costa Rica was having presidential elections
2. National polemic arises when church and state separation idea is introduced sometime before the elections.
3. Some priests advice their sheeple to “remember” who are ones behind this plan and to never vote for them for anything in the future (dirty, dirty move).
4. The whole idea of separation of church an state goes to hell as most of the people behind it that were initially in favor, back off.
5. Catholic leaders who sent their threatening message to sheeple go unpunished.
6. Costa Rica has a new president, Laura Chinchilla, first woman president in CR, by massive victory.
7. Laura is named “favorite child” of the virgin mary by some dumbass who has religious power in Costa Rica.
8. (BTW, does this religious leader talks to the virgin personally in order make such announcements? Once more, we have a pathetic little man playing god).
9. The Catholic Church is aiming to receive MORE money from tax payers.
10. Are your fucking kidding me?

So here is where we stand. One would think that with the plethora of recent sexual abuses hidden by the Catholic Church, this institution would grow weaker and weaker. But no, not here.

And I don’t know about you, but I’m sick to the bone of watching the catholic church acting as if they were the shit and should get something the taxpayer’s money. Why you, catholics? Why not the protestants, the evangelics, the mormons? What makes your made up fucked up religion so much important than the rest? Aren’t you being unfair? Isn’t this….umm…what do you call this…discriminatory?

All I know, catholic church, is that if your savior did indeed existed, he would barf and puke in disgust to see the fucking marketplace you have turned into by using his name. I really do not expected that much from an institution that on one hand advices their followers to steer clear from alcohol, drugs, and rock ‘n roll and on the other hand owns a large share of stock from the Costa Rican beer company – oh the sweet, fermented irony.
