ahhh, it’s been a great week for cojito the infidel. first, my favorite contrarian christopher hitchens, launched a vicious left hook to the body of christ. you can check out excerpts of his new book entitled, “God Is Not Great: How Religion Poisons Everything,” in slate.

then, the bbc reported el papa (aka the pope) recently wrapped up his Brazilian junket by saying he thought the indigenous peoples of latin america had been “silently longing” to become Christians 500 years ago. naturally that pissed the natives off. but i think el papa may be onto something. secret wishes can come true. i know i’ve been wishing jerry falwell would drop dead for years.

not sure if i see the hand of god in jerry falwell’s death. the ever articulate ron godwin of liberty university said falwell was a “huge, huge leader here in this area, and in the nation at large.” yes, jerry was huge. he had cheeks to shame a gerbil. and all that fat is probably why his heart gave out.

it just does to show, you can’t sublimate your sex drive and expect to live forever; no matter how much you suck up to god. in the end it was an absurd, homosexually-obsessed life. falwell was either stuffing food, or foot in mouth. poor substitutes for what he really wanted.

these quotes will probably end up on falwell’s greatest hits list - or maybe someone will be kind enough to carve them into his bloated cadaver:

“gays, atheists, civil-rights activists, and legal abortions in the U.S. had angered God, and helped the attacks of 9/11 happen.”

” Most of the feminists need a man to tell them what time of day it is and to lead them home.”

“AIDS is the wrath of a just God against homosexuals.”

in other non denominational news -

is the spirit of jim jones alive in panama? one thing’s for sure, we don’t need no stinking kool-aid. we just brush our teeth. consider this headline from usa today, “panama toothpaste killed 51 people last year.”

of course it’s crap, from a crap paper. there are no confirmed reports of death by toothpaste. but there is diethylene glycol in two minor brands, “excel” and “mr cool.” that’s the same poison that killed at least 51 people this year.

la prensa latina - claims there are more than 50000 children working in panama. you know, it’s amazing what you can get in panama for a pocket full of duros. let’s just be thankful these kids are working, and not going to church.

the tico times reports that two earthquakes rocked costa rica. if you’ve been following events in costa rica then you don’t need el papa, or the ghost of jerry falwell to tell you these costa ricans were gagging for it.

and finally, a Japanese brawler visiting costa rica for a big fight, says he “doesn’t like to grapple too much with other men.” i hear you brother. that why i do all my grappling at porotos.
