Is David Blaine recruiting for the Catholics?
May 10th, 2006Watching David Blaine’s endurance stunt, in which he damn near killed himself, I wondered, could this be good for proponants of self mortification? With Time Magazine’s recent cover story on Opus Dei exposing the practice of whipping the shit out of yourself for the love of Jesus, maybe Blaine is inadvertantly promoting personal mutilation to the masses.
To quote the Happy Catholic,
To serve others requires mortification, a continuing realisation of the presence of God, and a forgetting of self.
Now, this is utter bullshit, meant to humiliate and guilt people into tithe paying, sexual repression and obedient service. The Pope, in his guilded palace and Prada shoes, clearly doesn’t practice this type of torture on himself.
At least Blaine gets a likely lucrative TV deal out of it. But the last thing we need is a big public spectacle making it sexy to beat yourself to a pulp for no apparent reason.
what a dainty step Ratzinger has.
what do you think he wishes for as he clicks his heels together?

My favorite picture of the new pope.
The pope has the well being of all of his followers in mind. Thats why millions are kept in poverty, not allowed to decided how large their families should be, exposed to sexually transmitted disease and protects those who molest children in the name of GOD. Where is his ‘GOD’ when this bullshit is now knee deep?
