The Pop Gay Devil Joke
Feel like laughing on the floor with this story:
An Italian comedienne who said that Pope Benedict XVI would go to Hell and be tormented by homosexual demons is facing a prison term of up to five years.
First, it is funny to think that Devil has sexual preference at all, or sexuality even exists in the after-world. It is every funnier to suggest the only person entitled to define which preference is right or wrong discover that he made the wrong bet after he died … What a sweet revenge:)
Secondly, the irony–apparently, some Christians share the same intense hatred with those Muslims they call “intolerant” (a la the Danish cartoon crowds) toward blasphemy–the only difference is the tool they use to dish out corporal punishment: one uses secular laws, the other religious edicts.
Lastly, this is the comment I posted: [what is happening to Ms. Sabina Guzzanti today] could/might have happened six centuries ago to Boccaccio (author of the Decamerone). When religion and history fight, religion has no chance–history wins every time!
