I started to post this once, but decided that phrases such as "sorry-assed, imaginary scumbag in the sky" and "fools following the advice of vicious perverts in cassocks" were not really needed to get the story told nor the point across. Thus, I now let the story tell itself: A FRENCH Guiana court has jailed four church members for up to 12 years for the exorcism of an epileptic teenager who was found dead attached to a cross.
The members of the Celestial Church of Christ were jailed yesterday for terms of three to 12 years for "wilful violence that caused death'' for 15-year-old Roger Bosse in 2005 in the south American territory.
The court heard that the mother of the boy, who suffered from mental illness, had brought him to the church for help and was told he was possessed by the devil.
The church members beat the boy repeatedly over a three-day period with reeds and belts and attached him to a cross for the last two days, the position in which he died. |
All exorcisms are no more than bullshit intended to enhance the myth of church infallibility and if they fail by being fatal to the subject, well, the kid's mom wasn't strong enough in her faith, or some like excuse. Hanging's too good for these pigfuckers!

This story isn't a sick as yours is, Filthy, but it's a close second. What a fairytale world these religious fanatical people have between their ears. |

A hard time for her -- this skank could use a taste of her own foul brew!
As I recall, the Bible has some hard words to say about false prophets, and that covers the whole lot. But this is the stupid, arrogant mindset we encounter throughout the world and it all too closely resembles the scams of less pious charlatans: "Never give a sucker an even break!" ~~ Canada Bill Jones
