Buy the Brian ‘Head’ Welch Collectible Toy

This is Brian "Head" Welch, former lead guitarist for KoRn (only the R is appears backwards, which is hard to replicate on a conventional typewriter, and my Satanic one is on back-order)

Brain, has dumped his hedonistic ‘sex, drugs & rock n’ roll’ lifestyle, and found Jesus – a fact trumpeted by his new Christian marketers.

With his tattooed body, and ‘bad boy-gone good’ image, he’s now the new ‘born-again poster boy’ around the globe.

The local ‘Mana’ Christian store here in Christchurch, have his very poster in their front window, along with a prominent spot for his first ‘tell all’ book of redemption.

New Zealand is way behind the times, because his second best seller went on sale six months ago, and Harper Collins buoyed by sales, have paid for a third.

In the interviews I’ve read, Brain (who incidentally I meet, when I was did the bands N.Z tour equipment, about 10 years ago) gives a number of reasons for quitting KoRn, a band he helped, form in 1993.

“It was a little too crude for me."

"More to life, than chasing the almighty buck,"

“"I have a 6-year-old daughter, and I want her to be able to look me in the eye. I'm a single dad, that's what it comes down to,"

Now this is where it get’s confusing for me, and no doubt KoRn fans, as we all attempt to ‘joint the dots’ between Welch’s publicised motives for departing KoRn, versus his new public persona.

Since departing the band Welch has written two books and undertaken a promotional tour around the U.S Christian community & banked millions in royalties. He’s then embarked on a solo career using the name ‘Head’ (I thought perhaps, he was reminiscing about the good old days, with a groupie or two, but apparently his new moniker is short for Head To Christ) and with a blurb that reads “Man, when I get up there onstage, it's going to be me just letting things flow. I have no idea what I'm going to say, it's just going to come out." "I mean, I'm going to be like a kid up there. Because that's really what I am now. I'm a baby Christian."

I can’t see any ‘Parental Advisory, Explicit Content’ sticker accompanying any future recordings of ‘Head’, nor do I think his new brand of music, will appeal much to his former fans, nor for that matter, his old band-mates in KoRn (who still don’t talk to him, and continue on unhindered)

The You-Tube song below entitled ‘Ever Be’ is their frank, vitriolic ‘tribute’ to their old pal, and former guitarist.

Not helping his cause with resolving the rift with his old band-mates, was his widely publicised statement, made at his televised baptism in the Jordan River (yes ‘the’ Jordan) "I don't want to pollute the world anymore. I want to spread a message of love and understanding, and that's what I'm going to do."

For all intents and purposes Welch appears to have simply changed his direction- not his spots.

Some-where along the line Welch has quit drugs, and then began making claims to communicate with God.

And new voice(s) in Welch’s head told him to relocate to Phoenix (only God can explain that one, along with a troop of top psychologists)

In another recent twist ,he wants the world to now know “It was God that told me to leave the band” , thus abdicating himself from the decision-making process.

Strange, at one stage he told us, it was him that wanted to spend more time with his daughter, it was him that was trying to be a better parent, it was him that decided to stay away from drugs etc – but now it’s down to instructions from invisible entities, making one think, those years of meth-use may have caused some permanent damage up in his ‘head’ department.

And if Gods word to “quit the band” was that strong, why not at least talk to your fellow band mates and tell them why you were leaving ‘face to face’ – instead of that quick spineless, impersonal email?

God was similarly also looking over the born-again Welchs shoulder, when he penned a rambling, unintelligible letter to 50 Cent, remonstrating with him “ You're a huge force for the devil right now." “He's going to put demons around you that tell you I'm crazy”.

Message from Mars to Brian Walsh: It's not only The Demons, that think you are crazy.

So not a lot appears to have changed in Welchs lifestyle, excepting his claimed lack of substance abuse and his social circle, plus now, the lead from his guitar plugs directly into Gods speaker, and this new lead-singer gives him special lyrics, which only he can hear.

Rather than the record company pulling the strings, it’s his publicists and the Christian merchandisers, who cover his every step.

There is however a new tattoo to sport, it’s on about the only piece of skin left previously unoccupied, his neck.

Matthew 11:28, "Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest."

I wonder what else his marketing department will have in store, for us – a collectible doll, may be?

You’ll be able to accessorise it, with a cross, bible and an array of stick-on Christian tattoos, for a few dollars more.

When you press-it, it'll speak in tongues.

Low-Life Pastor seeks to exploit Victorian Bush Fire Tragedy

“In my dream I saw fire everywhere with flames burning very high and uncontrollably. With this I woke up from my dream with the interpretation as the following words came to me in a flash from the Spirit of God”.

The share enormity and devastation of the Victorian bush fires across in Australia, is there for the world to see.

The tragedy and loss of life and property, best brought home when we saw the horrific images of burnt-out of cars, whole neighbourhoods obliterated & when we learnt people, in some cases whole families, were burnt alive.

In the face of what he saw, The Australian Prime Minister was brought close to tears

It defies humanity itself, that someone could have started these fires deliberately, and that others would now seek to exploit the tragedy for their own personal gain.

Pastor Danny Nalliah, from the ironically named ‘Catch The Fire Ministries’(part of the nut-case Assemblies of God group, that spawned the fraudster Pastor Michael Guglielmucci) in Melbourne, is one such low-life who hopes to ‘cash-in’ from the tragedy.

The reward Pastor Nalliah is chasing , rather than being one of monetary gain, is of the heavenly kind.

This sad excuse for a human, has blamed the bushfires disaster, on laws decriminalising abortion in Victoria, coupled with his vengeful Gods wrath.

The Pentecostal church's leader, claims he had a dream about raging fires on October 21 last year, and that he woke with "a flash from the Spirit of God: that his conditional protection has been removed from the nation of Australia, in particular Victoria, for approving the slaughter of innocent children in the womb".

Catch The Fire Ministries has called upon all Australian Bible-believing God-fearing Christians to repent, and called upon the Lord Jesus Christ for His mercy and protection over Australia once again. In other words: our God will give you Aussies a similar dose of death & destruction, unless you follow what he has to say & what we tell you.

Comforting-words no doubt, to victims who have lost a loved-one.

Some of this offensive diatribe was taken straight from a media release made by Pastor Nalliah and his church - the audacity & lack of sensitivity of this scum-bag, knows no bounds.

As part of this news-release Pastor Nalliah, confident in his convictions that [quote] “God has rained his Mercy”, even takes the liberty to publish his phone-number.

It’s: 03-9794-8211 (by the way, if you are calling from outside Australia you’ll need to dial 61-3-9794-8211)

There’s also an email inquiries@cathchthefire.com.au.

I don’t want to be seen to be encouraging individuals reading this, to send him offensive messages, though.

Last year, I believed Pastor Michael Guglielmucci’s false claims he had cancer, were about as low as a human-being could sink – short of staffing a death camp etc.

But on reflection, his fellow ‘Assemblies of Vengeful and Murderous God’ pastor, Nalliah, through insensitity alone, has stooped to new depths of depravity in the name of his religion.

PS: When you listen to this You-Tube from Aussie 80’s band ‘Painters & Dockers’ be sure to replace the word ‘Yuppie’ with ‘Nalliah’.

Government Agencies in New Zealand are turning a blind-eye to Religious Child Abuse.

Child abuse means, means the harming (whether physically, emotionally or sexually), ill treatment, abuse, neglect or deprivation of any child or young person. [definition of abuse under The Children, Young Persons and their Families Act of 1989]

Here are six scenarios.

Some involve physical or sexual abuse of a child, others psychological.

Using your own scale - kindly, rank-them from the worst (#1) to the least worst (#6).

1.) A toddler attempts to run across a busy road in front of traffic, in the heat of the moment the mother restraints the youngster & adrenaline still pumping smacks the her child’s bottom and tells him “You are never to do that again, you naughty boy”.
2.) The father of a ten year old girl, starts molesting her.
3.) A mother tells her 5 year old, his father is ‘evil’ and he can never see him.
4.) Parents tell their children they are ‘chosen ones’ and Satan & Demons exist – that unless they live in a certain way they will burn in hell.
5.) In a drunken, rage a father takes his belt to his 10 year old son
6.) Parents deny their children access to higher education, as it involves mixing with outsiders.

Would it surprise you to learn that 3, 4 and 6 are practiced by members of The Exclusive Brethren & Jehovah’s Witness Churches, here in New Zealand?

This very day, somewhere in our country, children from an Exclusive Brethren families, will be falsely told their ostracised parent is either dead, or hate them so much they don’t want to see them.

Everyday young Kiwi minds, from The Jehovah’s Witness Church are feed a diet of demons, the impending end of the world & that they are persecuted by society.

And these two religious bodies are one of many who practice similar and harmful psychological abuse on young minds.

I could give you a whole page of other examples, but it’s fair to say most people reading this, could do so as well.

Unlike the widely publicised cases of physical abuse we see in the media, psychological abuse of children, such as which I’ve described – escapes scrutiny altogether.

Take one moment to think about the last time you saw a media report about a case of where psychological abuse alone, by parents on a child, resulted in them facing charges?

The Government body that is there to protect children is the much maligned, woefully understaffed, Department Child Youth and Family (CYP’s for short).

‘Emotional abuse includes constant yelling, threatening, scaring a child, belittling them or playing games with their emotions’ (CYP’s web site)

To assist you and me to detect ‘emotional abuse’ CYP’s tell us all, we need to look for children, that….

-tend to believe they are bad and worthless
-have problems getting on with others, or be hard to live with
-'shut off’ or become too good
-have difficulty controlling anger.

Frankly, based on what we know goes-on in thousands of households, up and down this country every day of the week, it’s impossible to take seriously CYP’s statements they take direct an interest in protecting children, from what they call “emotional abuse’.

Devoted Christians, who call themselves loving, tell easily-influenced children, they are born wicked sinners.

Theists traumatise small children with tales of hell’s flames, and do so with impunity.

After-all they know religion is the ultimate ‘get out of jail free card’.

CYP’s acknowledge the harmful impacts of this form of abuse, but seemingly never actually bother protecting a child from parents/individuals who practice it.

For all intents and purposes it appears there is a hierarchy, or scale, of abuse in New Zealand, with sexual & physical at the top and ‘emotional’, so distant at the bottom, as not to even warrant investigation, when a case is reported.

CYP’s is shielded from scrutiny into why they rarely prosecute those guilty of emotional abuse of children, sheltered behind the public’s wide-held perception that a child that is physically abused, is worse off in the long-run, than one who is psychologically abused.

Kiwis relate physical & sexual abuse, to the brown-skinned, under-class and ‘call for blood’ every-time a case reached the media.

Since, emotional abuse largely happens in ‘nice white middle-class’ homes, it is some how less threatening to society, and swept under the carpet.

‘If a crime has been committed, for example, sexual abuse or a serious assault. The Police may decide to prosecute the offender’ [CYP's site]

So let’s imagine what would happen if the head of CYP’s encountered a rough-looking Maori in the Supermarket who barked at his child in a loud threatening fashion “you are a piece of shit and you’ll never be anything in life”.

Then the CYP’s head attended a Sunday School, where the a pastor forth-rightly tells the children sitting on the floor in front of him, that “sinners will burn in hell when the world ends” and then puts-on this quaint ‘purpose-made’ approved religious video for the children to watch, and learn.



One guess, who would face admonishment, come Monday morning when the CYP’s head got to work and made their report.

R.I.P Antonie Dixon: The sad product of childhood religious indoctrination

[Above is excerpt from Dixon’s now defunct myspace site]

Reports ‘hot off the press’, indicate Antonie Dixon, died in his Paremoremo Prison cell, last night.

His dead body was found with head & neck injuries.

Antonie, came from a family of devout Jehovah Witness’s, and if one believes his court testimony and that of his sister, this very same deeply-religious family molested him as a child, and then allowed fellow church members to do add to his abuse.

What is known is from an early age Dixon, went door to door prophesising with his mum, spent hours in church and at home recited verbatim Bible passages before he went to school.

His young mind was filled with tales of devils, demons and apocalypses.

He believed his father was a product of a union from an angel, a new world order was taking over.

Part of Dixon’s childhood discipline, saw him chained-up like a dog.

This childhood indoctrination, mental health issues mixed with drugs produced the outcomes, we saw manifesting itself in extreme violence.

The drugs, mental health issues are openly discussed, but his twisted religious up-bringing escapes criticism.

The strange & perturbing theme about Dixon’s case, was we all laughed at his ludicrous claims - like the one, the N.Z Police used a 747 aircraft to observe his movements, but the moment he stated his weird religious convictions, like people growing horns from their heads – we all are forced to take him seriously and enquire no further.

To avoid upsetting people in society who believe in Gods and demons etc, we compromise our very legal system and decency itself, and allow the same home environment that contributed to Dixon’s psychopathic actions, to be immune scrutiny and admonishment.

What is glaringly apparent, is no one of the state-employed psychologists, had the fortitude inside our court or at the pre-trail hearings, to analyse the issues behind Dixon’s obvious mental health problems – for to do so, by definition, would mean attacking his extreme religious up-bringing , the Jehovah Witness Church, and the beliefs of millions of Kiwi’s.

Ironically it was only when he was in prison Dixon was received treatment for his psychosis problems and that treatment had allowed Dixon to come forward to give evidence and tell his pitiful and cruel upbringing which he called “a chamber of horrors”.

As a country, on one hand we ban corporal punishment, but we still think it’s fine for parents to twist young-minds like Antonie’s, with harmful information like “woman are immoral” and “you’ll never be good enough to obtain ever-lasting life and burn in hell”.

It’s fine by our society to brainwash young minds with the ridiculous beliefs that “God will talk to you” to “obey his commands” and to look for “biblical visions” - even if the voices in your head command you to chop-off a limb with a samurai sword.

It’s perfectly permissible for your parents to dub you “the devils spawn”, but where they to smack your bum, they’d face charges and possible loss of custody.

When the hell are we going to wake-up and place religious teachings of this kind in the same category as ‘abuse’?

Footnote; When Antonie was ten, Social Welfare agencies, took him from his parents and placed him in state care. At the time, no mention was made of the psychological abuse he had suffered at the hands of his parents and church members – just the physical abuse at the hands of his mother was denoted on the case notes.

Eugenics: Do we start making an exception for creationists?

"Science knows no country, because knowledge belongs to humanity, and is the torch which illuminates the world. Science is the highest personification of the nation because that nation will remain the first which carries the furthest the works of thought and intelligence". [Louis Pasteur]

Like most thinking people who prefer their theories served with a main of facts, on a bed of science and cooked well-done over decades – it is both irksome and an insult to ones intelligence to still have desert wandering God worshipper types, still maintaining evolution is “just a theory” and then in the next breath, peddling the primitive story of creation in Genesis - that even a 8 year old can pick holes in.

One of the more laughable and ludicrous statements I ran across recently from one defender of ‘creation’ was: “no one was about to witness creation so we have to take the bible at face value”.

Do these mindless ‘believers’ have two brain cells to rub together?

Putting aside scientific evidence for the true age of the earth for one moment (radiometric dating methods, isotope ratios etc) there’s also another gapping hole in this defence of the story of Genesis: there were actually people running about on this planet 6,000 years ago & they were able to both read and write.

6,000 years ago, man began living in the first cities, domesticated animals, organised horticulture, built canals, under-took grain storage, mapped the stars, had hierarchical systems with kings etc, cast bronze tools, used farm implements like ploughs etc etc.

6,000 friggin’ years ago people in Mesopotamia, were getting drunk on beer, not wandering around a magical garden with talking snakes.

6,000 years ago there were around 10 million human inhabitants, ready to check-out the size of Adam’s ‘goods’ and perv at Eve’s tits.

Unequivocally we know this to be fact, from both from what was widely written at the time by the various cultures, their paintings and modern-day archaeology.

Fellow bipedal primates come out from the back of the cave, gather around the fire & say after me – “there was no origin of life, man, earth etc 6,000 years ago”.

The Christians God’s word as written in the first passages of The Old Testament is nothing more than a primitive myth existing on a bed-rock of foundational bias & selective and minor sub-set of data.

Genesis has as much credibility as L. Ron Hubbard’s ‘Dianetics’.

In fact there should be one of those large/bright warning stickers on the outside of all Bibles along the lines: “The events of the book are purely fictional, any resemblance to facts past or present are purely coincidental”.

Gay Scientists Isolate Christian Gene

Now the Christianity gene has been isolated, as Atheists we must accept that Christians are born this way.

Powerless slaves to their genetic program.

Remember: No one chooses their religion.

We should pity theists & try and help them through their issues with imaginary, invisible beings & the maniacal desire to control others lives.

That doesn’t mean we take a soft line on their offensive practices like large groups of virginal men frequenting public places dressed in women’s clothing, nor the corrupting young minds with false stories of global genocide.

Above all we Atheists should be happy.

For Christianity is a sure sign, the world is nearing rapture in which all Atheists and other heathens will be whisked away up to join The Flying Spaghetti Monster.

Let us pray - to he with the noodly appendages - that a cure can be found for the Christianity gene.

Antonie Dixon: As Sane as the next Church-Goer

The distinctive look of one, Antonie Dixon greeted readers of today’s Sunday News (Bert from Sesame Street, anyone?)

Prison appears little hindrance to Dixons, psychopathic urges.

In the latest of a long-line of violent acts, he’s pulled a home-made shank on his lawyer, Barry Hart, during a scheduled visit to Auckland Central Remand.

Luckily for Hart, alert prison guards foiled his attack.

Dixon, is in prison awaiting a re-trial, for the 2003 drug fuelled crime spree that saw him shooting a man dead and severing the hands of two female associates ‘in the wrong place at the wrong time’ – using a samurai sword.

In 2007 Dixon used a fork to try and gouge out the eye of a fellow prisoner.

At his first trial, under Harts examination, Dixon revealed to the Jury……..

- How he was sexually abused as a child by his mother and family friends who were part of the Jehovah’s Witness church.
- Said his mother padlocked him to a fence where he developed an ability to speak telepathically with dogs, which was why he always got on with dogs.
- That according to his mother, he had inherited a demon from his father
- He heard “the voice of god” and said he thought of himself as “the chosen one”.
- That he believed his reward would be in the next world
- Planes, including a Boeing 747 - were used to follow him, his car and house were bugged and tracking devices had been put into his skin.
- On the night of his rampage, he said God appeared to him at The Thames warehouse he shared with the two other victims.
- He shot and killed his victim, after he saw horns coming from his head, which he described as “a biblical situation”.
- Quote: “I went outside and spoke to God and he said they were Judas’s, to behead them, and to turn the sword and kill myself.”

Many of you reading this, myself included, clearly see Mr Dixon has some significant mental health issues.

But according to the Court and the psychiatrists who examined him, he is sane enough to be tried in an ‘open’ court. Crazed may be, Dixon scored 168 in a recent IQ test undertaken in prison, placing him in the top one percent in the world.

And if Dixon is attempting to feign insanity, he and his lawyer have picked the wrong avenue by using this “God made me do it” line of defence.

Thanks to the ‘special privileges’ bestowed on religious epiphanists, and the politically correct nature of New Zealand society, it is impossible to discredit even samurai-slashing madmen who “speak to God” for it brings into question the very concept of God.

Every day of the week hundreds of thousands of Kiwi’s try talking to an invisible God, all of whom claim God returns their calls.

So what the court is saying is: Dixon is as sane as the next church goer.

Whilst some may receive Gods prophetic word, in a positive form, the New Zealand judicial system has adjudged it’s credible for someone to claim God issued the commands to commit a raft of crimes without being thrown into a padded cell, and perturbing for the neutrality of the system - religious beliefs are exempt full psychiatric examination.

In a nutshell……….

If the religious entity called God instructs you to kill someone and slash off hands with a samurai sword = almost automatically you’ll be adjudged sane (the judicial system not wanting to get bogged down with a protracted arguments for/against Gods/Devils existence)

If an Alien from the moon Titan called ‘Phobos’ instructs you to kill someone, and slash off hands with a samurai sword = you will likely be adjudged insane.

Presumably Dixon will have a new lawyer at his new trial.

Who knows, we may get to hear about the aliens yet?
