kudos, Iceland!

OK, this story is not entirely "new" but it escaped my attention when it was first released, and about all I can say is "it's about time!!" I think I have to put Iceland on my bucket list.

Iceland Declares Christianity A Public Health Hazard

The island country of Iceland has officially 

declared Christianity a public health hazard. 

The law proclaiming the radical idea was 

signed recently by *Prime Minister 

Sigurður Ingi Jóhannsson in the spirit of 

“protecting the elderly from scams, our 

children from nightmares, and the 

general population from chicanery.”

As strong as the law’s language is, it does 

not restrict the free exercise of religion 

by any citizen or visitor.

A coalition of Lutherans, Catholics, 

and other Christian sects have formed 

an organization to combat the image 

that they contribute to the erosion of 

psychological well-being.

“Yes, certain rogues have used 

Christianity to fleece the old and give 

hellish nightmares to the young,” 

explained Reverend Andrew Canard. 

“However, faith requires the 

acknowledgment of not knowing and 

we can all agree simplistic and often 

contradictory answers found in the 

Bible are the answers to not knowing.”

The new law urges Icelandic society to, 

“pick up a book” and to “engage fellow 

human beings in the spirit of compassion 

regardless of creed.” It also calls for 

research to determine the best path to 

promote Humanist values around the world.

This is NOT a witch hunt

Pro-reason activists hail the recent events 

as a victory against superstition. Some local 

Catholics are calling the measure a “witch 

hunt.”

“A witch hunt is where a mob attacks the 

weakest members of society and prosecutes 

them typically via a sham trial. The mob 

then executes the poor soul. The last time 

I checked, the Catholic Church were the 

undisputed champions of the world in such 

games for centuries,” stated an anonymous 

citizen.

American Republican Presidential hopefuls 

are calling the events transpiring in Iceland 

“dangerous” and wonder if such a brazen 

act of divine disobedience may mean that 

the country is not fit to be in NATO.

Both Democratic candidates are afraid to 

point out that the predominantly Muslim 

country of Turkey is, well, a predominantly 

Muslim country because they would be 

branded as “egg-heads.”
