The images and act of book-burning is etched in our psyches as being a formative part of National Socialist Germany - when copies of anything from Albert Einstein, Sigmund Freud to H.G Wells went-up in flames.
Yet, the sordid history of book burning pre-dates 1930’s Germany by centuries and still goes-on all too frequently even today.
Catholics in particular love nothing better than to destroy the writings of anyone that upsets their narrow sensibilities.
In their hey-day The Spanish Inquisition relished burning Korans & any other Islamic text they could lay their hands on.
Virtually the entire writings of the Mayan Civilization were destroyed with perverted pleasure by The Catholic Church.
For good measure nearly every Cathar text that could be found by The Catholic Church were also destroyed as well.
This fruit-loop pastor Terry Jones would have to build a bonfire the size of the state of Florida to come close to the Catholic Churches suppression of free-thought and alternative beliefs through-out the ages.
It was only four years ago Catholics in Rome and Manila decided Dan Browns ‘Da Vinci Code’ deserved being BBQed.
Whist doubtlessly top-of-the-pyre for destroying writings that threatened their self-appointed place in the world, The Catholic Church is not alone amongst religious zealotry when it comes to book-burning.
The evil texts of Harry Potter and Superman Comics have gone up in flames lit by evangelists.
In the 1980’s orthodox Jews in Jesuleum incinerated New Testaments by the score.
More copies of Salman Rusdies ‘Satanic Verses’ were probably destroyed than read.
The Taliban also did what the Taliban does best.
God evidently loves a good book burning!

Bishop Tamaki’s ‘spiritual’ father turns out to be a raving-homo!
The fallout-out (or would “blow-out” be a more appropriate term of phrase given the subject matter?) from Bishop Eddie Long rent-a-choir-boy affair has reached New Zealand.
And the stains (of the type not even modern washing-powers will remove) have reached the crocodile shoes of our own self-proclaimed bishop, Brian Tamaki.
Bishop Long, or as his rent-a-choir-boys got to call him ‘Big Ed’, journeyed down-under in 2003 after the year prior Tamaki had made it to Atlanta for some well-earned R&R.
2003 was a spiritual journey at the behest of Tamaki who runs New Zealand’s version of a mega-church, Destiny. Rather than being a double-meat wopper burger like say Longs ‘Birth Ministry’ Destiny would be better termed as one of those crappy small cheese-burgers McDonalds have. Soggy in the middle and with a tacky outer wrapping.
This trip and the ‘connection’ (not in a biblical sense one presumes?) Tamaki had with Long is out-lined in his autobiography. I think it’s in the section just after he admits fathering children out of wedlock?
In the chapter rather appropriately titled, given what now we know happens behind the scenes at The Birth Ministry, “Spiritual Father – a long time coming” Tamaki waxes lyrical over Long and his set-up. In case you get confused that’s the set-up of Longs organisation rather than the ‘set-up’ where he befriends teen boys, lavishes them with gifts and attention – then sodomises them.
"The instant that Bishop Long walked into the room our spirits connected without having said a word”
In the most Freudian of statements possible, Tamaki goes-on to say in his bio:
"I was a little taken aback by his embracing nature and the manner with which he greeted each and every one of us as if we were long lost brothers."
"I was impressed, yet the ease of our connection and the confirmation of a date was entirely in line with Kingdom principle - when God speaks, do it,"
Clearly when Longs felt the urge for “a connection” he didn’t have to look far to “do it.”
Tamaki is apparently going to issue a statement today about ‘Big Ed’ Long in which no doubt he’ll say he’s praying for him and to return the christening gifts.
I’ll be sure to do a follow-up on this.

The Vatican Bank: How the Catholic Church helps fund its daily activities with tainted drug-money and Nazi booty
The outward vestiges of Catholicism’s wealth and immortality is; The Vatican Bank.
The Vatican Bank is not a bank in the same terms that define first-tare global financial institutions, such as the one you and I hold accounts at.
This bank operates at a level that would make an Internet finance company in the Bahamas with a P.O Box for an address, look like The Bank of England.
That is to say The Vatican Bank functions in the global financial under-belly, well outside the controls of normal EU/U.S regulations, governmental controls and more importantly for 'Gods bankers' as far away from ‘the grasp of the law’ as possible.
Those holding an account at The Vatican Bank fall loosely into three categories (a.) Catholic Churches and clergy (b.) Criminals (c.) Tax Evaders.
Which depositor is which, is frankly hard to tell.

Which depositor is which, is frankly hard to tell.
Over the years many a regulator and media-commentator has wanted to know “who is actually running the bank - it's biggest clients, The Mafia or The Catholic Church itself?
When it comes to symbiotics like The Vatican Church and Italian Mafia, a quick look at historic-record shows the line between both groups is some-what blurred.
The Vatican Bank was formed in the middle of WW2 and made its initial wealth by accepting tainted funds from the deceased bank accounts & riches of Europe’s Jewish population, acquiesced by corrupt regimes - such as the one that gave the Vatican the very statehood it now uses to avoid prosecution and act beyond international law. The relatives of the Holocaust victims are still trying to recover those stolen ‘blood’ monies six decades later.
Money laundering still remains the main ‘money-making’ activity of The Institute for Works of Religion (the banks technical name) to this day. This week we learnt its current head, not for the first time in its sordid history, has just been caught-out by Italian officials for what is by their terms is a paltry 20 million Euros of illegal transactions.
As a financial institution that will take monies ‘no questions asked’ operating with the luxury of having a board which has immunity from prosecution, and no need to open its books to public scrutiny, The Vatican Bank has been and always will be the bank of choice to the criminal underworld as well as your run-of-the-mill despotic regime. Catholic dictators Pinochet's and Noriega knew full-well where to safely place their ill-gotten gains. They left it amongst comrades in faith. Hopefully they got a discounted rate.
Criminal fraternity’s ranging from the local Sicilian mafia, right through to Central & South American drug syndicates, also have accounts with The Vatican Bank, much to the chagrin of global law enforcement who are powerless to seize the profits of their criminal enterprise once it goes into the same vaults which still holds Nazi gold and valuables stolen literally in some cases from the corpses of Holocaust victims.
It is on public-record The Vatican Banks ‘cut’ on the Gambino crime-families drug-money was a straight 50% - so ‘laundering’ is a very profitable business for The Institute for Works of Religion and ultimately the Catholic Church - it’s sole shareholder and benefactor from its secretive venal activities.

If you wanted to 'knock a hole' in the worlds illicit drug trade and organised crime the biggest single-thing any government/policing-organisation could do -would be to dissemble The Vatican Bank.
The Vatican Bank (read: Catholic Church) aids and abets global money laundering on a massive scale and remains an integral part of the multi-billion dollars international drug trade, acts with impunity as a ‘financial life-raft’ for corrupt dictatorships and happily deals with any criminal desperado & tax dodger with money to hide from their respective authorities.
It’s hardly surprising The Vatican Bank gets caught-out now and again given its modus-operandi, scale of corrupt activities, dubious nature of its clientele and total lack of scruples of the people involved – especially its head.
Try picturing RATzinger acting like a crazed ecumenical Scrooge McPope, divested of robes and running naked deep-within the bowels (now there's an appropriate turn of phrase if ever there was one) of the cavernous church vaults. Squealing in proverbial joy as those tainted 'pieces of silver' run through his grubbied fingers and dribbling in anticipation as his favourite choir-boy climbs al naturale up to join-him on-top-of the mountains of illicit loot not even L.Ron Hubbard could place one of his enormous figures on. Becoming erect when he finds a gold-bar embossed with a Nazi swastika amongst the money-mountain.
Attn: Theologians Have a go at this!
This is a You Tube I did one night over a few beers at the end of last year, not one of my better ones, but effective enough.
I wanted to know “What will happen to a soul when we have brain transplants?”
Clearly this day will happen sooner rather than later so this question is more than being merely a hypothetical one.
Sadly no one has even attempted to answer this ponder-able.
Why isn’t there anyone who believes in the concept of a soul that can give me an answer?
I am therefore doubling my efforts to get an answer by re-posting it here in the hope there is a simple answer to what-is a simple question.
So after viewing the video please leave your answers in the comments section.

Burglar finds Atheism and avoids Jail
BURGLAR FINDS ATHEISM AND AVOIDS JAIL (NZ Press Association 22nd Sept 2010)
A burglar who walked into Hamilton police station and confessed his crimes after rejecting religion has avoided a prison term.
Neum Muliaumasealii, 24, was sentenced at Hamilton District Court yesterday to three months community detention and 50 hours community work after admitting burgling four properties, including the home of a friend between 2005 and 2007 , The Waikato Times reported.
Muliaumasealii also admitted to four counts of theft, breaking into cars during an international rugby match to steal car stereos.
The court was that in March he went to the police station to confess his crimes prompted by his "new found lack of religious beliefs" and a desire for a "clean slate".
"It's really your conscience which has led you to appear before the court today," Judge Glen Marshall told Miliaumasealii
He said a prison sentence would normally be an option for his offending but gave him credit for changing his ways.
Now the true headline and report;

WHAT A FUCKING JOKE!

Let’s invent a new Boogeyman to all be scared of.
Now those evil commies have been put well and truly to rest, we in the Western-world really need to change our focus.
There must be something left underneath our bed that will scare the horses and frighten the kids into doing what we want?
Unite-us in a crusade, in a traditional sense of the term.
That’s it – the rise of Islam!
But let’s face-it Muslims in our midst doesn't scare everyone?
Some people may have Muslims as neighbours, in their kids sporting teams and find-them just like everyone else.
So what else is out there that can scare the crap out of every god-fearing member of society?
That’s it.....Atheists!
Fuck those heathen pricks that gave rise to Hitler and want to destroy the very foundations of our Judeo Christian society.
Let’s make a film to show families what the evils of atheism entail - the end of Christmas for starters.
