At Least Bible Belt Magistrate Lu Ann Ballew did not Give the boy a good slave name like Toby – Religion trumps logic or humanity in Tennessee – Messiah Robbed of His First Name

"The word Messiah is a title that has only been earned by one person, and that one person is Jesus Christ," Ballew told WBIR-TV.

Ballew said her decision was made in the child's best interests, and that the name would not bode well amongst the community's large Christian population.

"It could put him at odds with a lot of people, and at this point he has had no choice in what his name is," said Ballew.

Jaleesa Martin, the child's mother, told WBIR-TV that she did not choose the name because of its religious connotation, but rather to fit in with the names of her other two children, Micah and Mason.

"I was shocked. I never intended on naming my son Messiah because it means God and I didn't think a judge could make me change my baby's name because of her religious beliefs," said Martin. Her appeal will be heard by the Cocke County Chancellor on Sept. 17.

Opus Dei vs. Opus Meum – Rick “Fecal Matter” and GOP go off a Cliff

The Opus Dei candidate for President, Rick “Fecal Matter”, is doing remarkably well on a spike from a weekend endorsement from lunatic fundies on a Texas ranch.

Below is an attack ad probably paid for with freshly laundered Opus Dei funds.  While I agree that both political parties in America are going off the cliff, Rick Santorum is no messiah and or Jack Kennedy.

I don’t care if Rick privately tortures himself to get mythical grace for his many, many sins, most of which are based on basic human ignorance and an allergy to empathy and or compassion.

On the matter of a dying Christian church putting up Rick to push what is left of the human race off a cliff, perhaps the solutions all along to humanity’s problems lie with Humanity and Secularism – OPUS MEUM – Work of Humanity, me and mine.

Have a full rich wonderful secular day.
