GOD

A woman has reportedly died from the shock of coming to life at her own funeral.

Fagilyu Mukhametzyanov, 49, was wrongly declared dead by doctors, but she actually died after hearing people pray for her soul in Kazan, Russia, according to the Daily Mail.

She was taken back to a hospital where she was declared dead, this time for good.

"Her eyes fluttered and we immediately rushed her back to the hospital but she only lived for another 12 minutes," her husband, Fagili Mukhametzyanov, said, according to the Daily News.

Mukhametzyanov said he plans to sue the hospital, which says it is conducting an investigation of the incident.

Her final cause of death was heart failure, according to reports. Her "first death" was also heart-related, a suspected heart attack.

This isn't the first time a funeral has taken an unexpected twist. In recent years, a man showed up alive for his own funeral in Brazil and a premature baby declared dead woke up before his own funeral before dying shortly after in Paraguay.

So much for 'natural' funerals. Now I realize how important it is that morticians pump up your dead corpse with all those chemicals that retard God's ability to turn you back to the dust you came from.

Kind of makes you think twice about cremation however!

I mean think about it! The mortician's first and primary job is to make sure you're dead. Not kind of dead. Not sort of dead. But dead ass dead!

I have been thinking about religion again. I know that I am supposed to pretend that everyone has the right to worship as they wish, but most of the time I end up in Bill Maher's corner on this issue.

I came across a great book review at The Daily Beast.

Part of what’s at work, he says, is a powerful elitism. For his father, using pornography was just a small personal vice, even if he saw the society-wide spread of porn as a harbinger of moral collapse. “What he would wink at individually or indulge in himself, becomes anathema when it’s part of a wider social problem,” says Schaeffer.

Having grown up around this sort of hypocrisy helps him to understand the endless parade of social conservatives who’ve been caught up in sex scandals. “What people don’t understand is they really mean it when they say society would fall apart if everybody did this. When it came to themselves, it’s OK—this is just my little personal sin here." thedailybeast.

There is more hypocrisy going on in this book by Schaeffer than a little porn. This all reminded me of the goings on at C-Street:

...the house is owned by Youth With a Mission D.C.   Youth With a Mission is one of the most extensive Christian fundamentalist para-church organizations on Earth, and YWAM founder leader Loren Cunningham has publicly outlined a vision for Christian world-control.

 We on the Left love conspiracy theories as much as any righty!

But there are more stories coming out of C-Street that I have either forgotten or never heard of.

I mean who in the fuck is Zach Wamp?

One has to remember that above all C-Street is a tax dodge! A lot of rent saved when you call your home a church!

And those on C-Street were specifically counseled that what's sauce for the goose is not sauce for the peasants! The masses must do what we say for heaven's sake; we are part of an elite that is not subject to these same rules.

But the propaganda stemming from these Christian Organizations is just horrific sometimes.

Pat Robertson is at it again. I mean the new NYS law relating to gay marriage is going to bring us all Wrath of God!

Okay, so he comes from a ministry at least—even if it did bring him 90 mill in God's Grace!

But it is the elected official who has become the minister/politician that really gets to me.

Bachmann of course claims gay pride is some sort of personal enslavement.

In that same link Michelle, my gal, claims there is an international gay conspiracy to make all of our children homosexuals. I mean I suppose that could cut down on overpopulation after a few centuries. Haahaha.

And I do not think it helps to watch clips on Jon Stewart of the Gay Coalition when men walk bare ass in the streets of NYC celebrating their new 'freedoms'. But maybe that is just me!

Gays are not attacking my children. And hetero's as well as gays will attack children from time to time.

I guess it is just part of the human condition that we are stuck with tortured logic. I know I have had my own lapses in logic over the decades.

The tortured logic of the Right drives me absolutely crazy!

We have State Supreme Court Justices attacking each other verbally and physically.

Bradley isn't accused by anyone of laying a hand on Prosser. The case for Prosser is that Bradley came at him and he pushed her back in "defense," but everyone seems to agree that his hands did end up on her neck. I don't really think there's any justification for that! And attacking women and then blaming them for making you do it is how abusive assholes justify their behavior. Not that I know the facts of this horrible case. But I tend to side with the people who don't have a history of threatening to "destroy" people, because that is how comic book characters talk.

Anyway, now the right wants to recall Bradley, for attacking Prosser with her huge, terrifying neck.

Prosser's defense is that the she-devil made him do it!

The Devil Made Me Do It!

I bring this incident to the fore because it feeds into something else the Christian Right is pushing on its political agenda.

Abortion in the case of rape or incest is against God's Law.

It is this type of logic that supports this seemingly irrational belief:

Second, some believe that their child's life may have some intrinsic meaning or purpose which they do not yet understand. This child was brought into their lives by a horrible, repulsive act. But perhaps God, or fate, will use the child for some greater purpose. Good can come from evil.

Okay, one might surmise; if it is your twelve-year-old daughter or granddaughter it should be your decision depending upon who has custody of the girl.

Human events tend to occur in a chaotic manner. There is no one answer for all situations. Not that the right would ever admit this theory of relativity!

But damn! Following the elections of all these fascists on the state level we have seen proposed legislation that would ban abortion even in the case of rape or incest.

And yet, the Christian Right are against so called anchor babies. And they are actually targeting an immigrant's fetus. Treating the fetus an an 'illegal' as some sort of alien force set to take over this country!

I can only conclude that the right does not give one goddamn about fetuses or babies—after all the right would remove any and all governmental help and support for a baby!

But entwined in all of this morass is a deep seated feeling that the woman is at fault for her own rape!

Add to this the attempt by the right to destroy Planned Parenthood and I am hopelessly lost. Now they are not just attempting to outlaw abortion but to also outlaw condoms. Protect the sperm as well as the fetus.

When in the hell did the Protestants decide to follow El Papa? http://www.turrisfortis.com/falwell.html

But blaming an 11 year-old for being raped?

There is hypocrisy on both sides of the political spectrum. I mean seeing all of Tiger Wood's paramours as victims goes a little too far. And these straying male politicians, for the most part find female companionship rather easily!

What bothers me most is that the Christian Right not only sets its own moral standards (as twisted as these standards might become) but they want the rest of us to rot in prison for breaking those standards before we spend eternity in Hell!

This strange movement not only wishes to punish you on earth but also in Hell; it has decided that it knows what God wants and this is dangerous as a creed.

And the Right is not only interested in seeing that its elementary education is filled with spurious propaganda but it is interested in making sure that your child's education is filled with that same spurious propaganda!

Oh well...

As strange as it seems, it sure would be fun to see Robertson awaken at his own funeral!
