Deranged Baptist Missionaries charged with Child Kidnapping

“When God calls you to a certain mission and a specific action he’s not going to let it fail,” [father of one of the detained Christian kidnappers, Mel Coulter]



Imagine you come across a child wandering, lost and distraught.

The natural inclination is to protect the safety of that child and then to re-unite him/her with their parents.

That is what I would call a basic human response – one that is innate & contained within the make-ups of all homo-sapiens as part of our common ancestry.

A universal trait we are born with, to protect the young and vulnerable, but one which through indoctrination can be wiped-out and replaced with a more sinister motive.

The American Baptist movement has for a couple of decades become the Christian equivalent of the Taliban. In the Indian province of Tripura their members have supported and funded terrorism. Their rabid members wander the globe, foaming at the mouth and thumping bibles, on a mission from God to convert everyone to their cause – even if it means ripping young children from the arms of their parents. The laws of human-decency mean nothing to them. The end always justifies the means. In the twisted and dangerous minds of these zealots, it is in the child’s interests to be taken from their godless parents and re-educated.

And when I mention abstract terms like ‘mission from god’ this is not just a journalistic liberty on my behalf to make these people look deranged. They do this quite well themselves.

They literally believe god, the big Santa in the sky, tells them telepathically what to do – thus somehow justifying their actions – even when unlawful.

Their latest sickening and disturbing mission on behalf of their god (I’m guessing Yahweh?) is to seize children from their parents in the ravaged countryside of Haiti and take them across the border to the neighbouring Dominican Republic – where they would be put up for adoption to ‘nice white American Christian households.’

Fortunately these child kidnappers underestimated the Haitian authorities who arrested the ten involved in stealing 33 children (aged 2 to 12) at the border.

Freed from her captors one nine-year old girl was crying, and telling authorities that “I am not an orphan. I still have my parents.”

Shortly after that local police said the Dominican orphanage where the children were to end-up charging adoptive parents USD 10,000 a child.

A nice little earner for someone – who I wonder?

The missionaries now face a trial for child-kidnapping and criminal association – the later being an apt description of this literal ‘mission from god.’

These ten missionaries are going to need more than just faith to survive in a Haitian prison and it would be a brave god to enter through its gates.

YALE-UNIVERSITY REPORT CONCLUDES IT’S UP TO ATHEISTS TO SAVE THE PLANET.



New Zealand is in 15th place, with a score of 73.4. Iceland is top at 93.5.

Sierra Leone is bottom at 163 with 32.1.

The results are a damning indictment on the locations around the globe which are inhabited largely by those who believe in superstitious intervention.

The naïve people who believe it will be God who will come and save the planet – so who the hell cares if we crap in the local river and decimate the local forestation & wildlife?

The statistics don’t lie – overall compared to heathens religious inhibitors of Planet Earth don’t care about the environment, more-about getting to heaven and appeasing their God than providing a sustainable future for their children.

Christians and Muslims embrace an apocalyptic end for human life anyway and millions of humans dying due to environment catastrophe fits-in exactly with their beliefs.

This ‘End of Days’ is something they embrace, their chance for salvation, as they drive to Church in their Hummers and watch the burn-off from oil-drilling rigs waft into the atmosphere.

Breaking the Yale study down further we see it’s Hindu and Buddhist countries in particular who were the worst offenders in their treatment of the environment.
At the other end of the scale the statistics prove it was mostly the atheistic countries – the ones that embraced science over superstition – that overall came-out as the communities that cared the most about their local environment and the planet as a whole.

The report is a stark reminder that it’s up-to the Atheistic peoples of Earth to lead the battle for environmental survival.

Catholic Church rallies against Equality.


The creepy-looking resident Pope (take a look at that photo – it looks like something from a 1920’s German horror film) with the perfect CV for a man running a fascist dictatorship – Hitler Youth Member and Wehrmacht combatant – is wading into the political affairs in The United Kingdom.

In an effort to interfere in the politics of a sovereign nation RATzinger has asked his bishops (think German generals) to start a campaign (‘Battle of Britain’ seems an appropriate title given the subject matter and those involved = forces of light versus the forces of darkness) against forthcoming legislation in the U.K which would mean that all employers have to treat their employees, current & prospective, as equals.

The issue for RATzinger is The U.K Government’s ‘Equality Bill’ has extended the term ‘employers’ to include business’s like Churches.

Not surprisingly The Catholic Church rejects the notion of equality – it goes against everything they stand for.

The Catholic Church still wants to retain the centuries-old right to practice discrimination under the guise of ‘freedom of religion’.

‘Freedom’ to The Catholic Church (Vatican City)Incorporated means the freedom to treat women as second class citizens and little more than breeding-ewes, walking-wombs to inseminate. Homosexuals are nothing but sodomites, who will ultimately burn in hell - but why not make the faggots mortal-lives as close as the imaginary view of hell can be in the mean-time?

This piece of legislation has the potential to paralyse The Catholic Church as it would allow disenfranchised homosexuals and women to litigate via Employment Courts and The Catholic Church already has had it soiled-hands full, paying-out billions in compensation for the physical/sexual/mental abuse it’s employees perpetrated against tens of thousands of innocent children in every-part of the globe. Abuse, The Churches hierarchy and RATzinger personally did their best to cover-up.

Here’s hoping ‘The Equality Bill’ becomes law in The U.K sooner rather than later and that New Zealand has the fortitude to follow-suit with similar legislation that currently allows religious groups to discriminate against individuals based on their sex/sexuality.

Catholic School Headmaster admits Religious Education fails to make better citizens


Many, if not all, parents who send their children to religious schools in New Zealand, do so justifying their positions, outwardly at least, not as being some intergenerational subservience to their own childhood indoctrination with said religion – but that such educational facilities give their children a better ‘grounding’ than their secular counterparts.

In the minds of these parents and advocates, religious doctrine and the Christian principals imparted, at what are little more than tax-payer subsidised private-schools, provides children with a better ‘grounding’.

This presumption is rubbish according to, none other than the head-master of Christchurch’s largest Catholic Boys high-school, St Bedes College.

Its good parenting that counts – schools have little meaningful influence – except for when the student is enrolled and in class or running around its sports-fields.

Asked why a large contingent of current and ‘ex’ pupils of St Bedes were involved in a mass-brawl outside McDonald's in Merivale on Saturday night, one that left one victim in hospital & one facing assault-charges, the rector of St Bedes, Justin Boyle, had this to say in yesterdays’s Christchurch Press newspaper:

"We have got no jurisdiction over what happens outside of class time, but we can have an influence on – and certainly are not shy of speaking to – individuals concerned, or making a general plea to parents or the boys that this type of behaviour is not appropriate,"

"Really, the parent is the first educator ... but we are not going to wipe our hands of it."

Rector Boyle may wish to therefore change his schools web site which blabbers-on about warm & fuzzy things such as:

“we take responsibility for our own development”.

“values and goals from the life and teaching of Jesus”

“ to have respect for God and others”

Had of course it have been mostly current and ex students of St Bedes that had have been involved with pulling an injured family from a burning-car that night, rather than street thuggery involving some 50 teenagers, I’m sure Rector Boyle and Catholics around town would be trumpeting how it was ‘their schooling and faith that made them better citizens.’

But in cases of adverse publicity such as this, we have merely encountered similar public-relations tactics used globally by Catholic institutions in pedophile cover-ups – in other words St Bedes College goes into ‘damage control mode.’

Don’t worry about the innocent victim who was knocked unconscious (not an Old Boy of the school by the way) who is lying in hospital after trying to intervene to save his friend from receiving a prolonged beating.

Rule One: Care about protecting the Churches ‘good name.’

Rule Two: Then just care about protecting the Schools ‘good name’

Rule Three: Never take responsibility – blame someone else (parents in this case)

Tell the Christchurch public 'none of this is down to what we taught them at school' – all those years of the so-called ‘religious education that moulds young men.’ is ineffective.

Above all protect the name of The Catholic Church and the school - even if this is tantamount to admitting St Bedes Colleges so-called ‘special character’ actually counts for jack-shit.

St Bedes religious education was wasted on large tracts of its student population.

Why didn’t Rector Boyle simply not come-out and tell The Press - when the school bell-rings at the end of the day at St Bedes – it’s every man for himself?

Footnote: If memory serves me right Mr Boyle was himself a victim of a random attack a couple of years back – the perpetrators of which, if my recollection is again correct, were never caught. So if Boyle was serious about ‘values’ and ‘respect’ amongst his charges – he now has the grand opportunity to show Christchurch he treats crime such as this seriously. That means suspending the guilty and not merely “speaking to them” and hoping over time the actions of his prodigies will be forgotten.

TIME FOR A CHANGE

Hello there citizens,

I have decided this blog ‘Canterbury Atheist’ has largely done its dash.

Articles will now fall to a trickle.

I will continue blogging in the New Year under a new alias but with a broader auspice and subject matter.

I am in the last throws of completing my first work of fiction – black comedy to be exact – now comes the giant hurdle of getting it published.

So it is writing of a more profitable kind I intend mostly pursuing – plus I’ve decided to make a short film of a futuristic nature.

Mind-you I have said this before and made a come-back from ‘the dead’ so who knows.

See you round.

Paul...vanishes into the ether in a puff of smoke.

Religious Terrorists feed-on political-correctness.


Picture this there are ten rugby teams plus hangers-on from New Zealand about to board the plane ex Auckland to Los Angeles.

The share-size of the tour group means they take-up all but two seats in the aircraft.

The other two seats are taken by two male students aged 22 and 24 from The Middle East who have been studying in Auckland, and carry passports from Yemen.

So the numbers are: 550 Kiwi rugby tourists traveling AKL-LAX and two middle-eastern students.

Which group is it that poses a greater risk to the safety of this aircraft?

The answer is self-evident but deliberately ignored by every airline/government/security organisation in the world (excepting Israel who are ruthless in their role and care little what anyone thinks)

The fact remains terrorists are by-in-large easy to spot (a.) they are males under 40 years old (b.) they are Muslim (c.) they are itinerant and no longer live in their home countries.

So why not target these individuals?

After-all we all know how to identify 99% of them?

This process starts with looking at their backgrounds, before they even get on-board an aircraft.

The reason why aircraft safety is compromised and everyone is treated as a potential terrorist is ‘political correctness.’

Spineless Airlines and Governments in the west can not be seen to ‘target’ one set of people over-another.

They place political correctness ahead of passenger safety.

If more attention was being spent checking the backgrounds of religious terrorists and automatically examining every inch of the ‘high-risk’ group’s person/baggage – flights would be a hell of a lot safer.

Teabagging for Jesus? What next?


Clearly things are tough to the members of this church forced into prostitute themselves by offering this ‘service’ to random passers-by.

But then again, is she merely letting strangers know what she gets up-to in the privacy of her bedroom? Indicative of the fact Christians are more open-minded than I give them credit for?
