Explicit Recordings Disrupt MassAPSANTA FE, N.M. (Feb. 22) – Three CD players hidden under a cathedral’s pews blared sexually explicit language in the middle of an Ash Wednesday Mass, leading a bomb squad to detonate two of the devices. Authorities determined the music players were not dangerous and kept the third one to check it for clues, said police Capt. Gary Johnson. The CD players, duct-taped to the bottoms of the pews, were set to turn on in the middle of noon Mass on Wednesday at the Roman Catholic Cathedral Basilica of St. Francis of Assisi. The recordings, made on store-bought blank discs, featured people using foul language and “pornographic messages,” Johnson said. He would not elaborate because of the ongoing investigation.
Here’s a prediction: the culprit(s) will turn out to be a member of the congregation.
I think it highly unlikely this was a prank perpetrated by an atheist.
We don’t work that way.
StrongBelieverinDog:
Dude, you have nerve! In true hypocrite fashion (btw, hypocrite is another name for Catholic)you come here to an Atheist site to criticize, complain and pass judgment. How would you like it if I went into your church to criticize and pass judgment on you and your equally hypocritical and immoral church-going, child-molesting sheep or goats or whatever it is that you call yourselves? STOP and THINK before you open your mouth! The next worst thing to your hypocrisy and inmorality is your victim/martyr complex! It’s your hell, your burn in it! Ah, and while you’re at it, take that faggot dude in Rome with you, you know, the one who wears a dress and a pointy hat to hide the marijuana stash?
WHAT:
LMAO! No wonder you’re tied at #2 with gawd!
rna2dna:
Yes, you don’t understand that gawd doesn’t have it against you with the spelling thing, in his loving ways, he’s trying to teach you how to spell better. See, you just have to have faith in the Lard and good spelling will happen.
Luckily enough I grew up with a Communist government shielding me from priests and other Jesus Freaks. However, once I relinquished those “protections,” I fell into the hands of the one I was married to for 14 years. Man, I can write a book on how sick the dude was! He would spend every night – all night – doing hardcore pewrnography on the internet (even in front of the children) but on Sunday, he would go to his church to pray so that his gawd would forgive ME for making him do it! Waaa haaa…how’s that for the good book, superior moral values and yaddah yaddah yaddah…The only thing that voodoo teaches them is never to account for anything and how to shift responsibility for their actions – no matter how vile – unto others without a trace of a conscience ~sorry, I think I have to go throw up now!~
“God is good, god is great but separate him from the state.”
I gotta say, it sure was a nice prank!
Being a catholic does not prevent a kid from playing a prank. I remember Bart Simpson putting his zeroxed but in the hymn booklets
I would limit myself to dropping alka seltzer tablets in the holy water fount.
LOL!!! Makes my day
StrongBelieveringod:
Yeah, I’m sorry for you too that you believe in god. Hope you attain some clarity one of these days….
StrongBelieverinGod,
What is your reason for stopping by? Curiosity about the other side? Was it just to call atheists hypocrites? (I hope not!) Or do you have a question about something? BTW, stopping in with accusations and assumptions is not a good way to start a discussion around here.
Who mistakes a CD player for a bomb? I can’t believe they freaked out so much. It was probably one of the kids that had been forced to attend.
The bomb squad was called out so they had to blow up something. I can see it now, after blowing up two of them someone saying “Shouldn’t we be checking these things for finger prints?”
Not on topic but
BROOKSVILLE Fl – It had been a hard Friday at Brooksville Elementary School, with lots of misbehavior that didn’t bode well for the start of state testing the following week.
So the principal and a few staff members appealed to a higher power.
They prayed and blessed their students’ desks with prayer oil.
While the Christian prayers and anointing took place after school hours on the night of Friday, Feb. 2, the oil was still on desks the following Monday when teachers opened their classrooms.
How would Phreed explain this intrusion?
This made me laugh out loud!!!! When I was in high school (long ago), we actually put dishwashing liquid in the fountain in front of St. Joseph’s Church on Main Street. It made lotsa bubbles (but no human or animal was harmed by it). We felt our prank was a BIG success, since it made the front page of our tiny little town newspaper. It wasn’t until years later that I fessed up to Mom that it was us.
Bones, my mother in law recently told us that as a teen, she once emptied a whole “Tide” box in a fountain in front of a hotel. The street in front was submerged in bubbles
I never did try the alka seltzer but I do dip my finger while making a hissing sound (? la Al Pacino in “Devil’s Advocate”) My wife stares at me every time
sword strike and bones,
At my high school we had a fountain near the gym. It was where the stoners always hung out and ate lunch. Pretty much every week they’d have to clean it out because they’d put some crap in it, liquid detergent, dye, soaps, anything they could think of, even cheerios. Also, this past year at my college the historic fountain was vandalized and smashed. The school actually sent out an email to everyone telling us about it and asking that we pray for the people to come forward and it to never happen again.
Pranks are one thing, but I’m against all kind of vandalism.
A prank we would frequently pull off in high school was hiding all the windows. You see, the college was supposed to be air conditionned but only hot air came out of the vents and the school screwed the windows shut to keep the “cool” in. We would unscrew, remove and hide the windows.
I’m certain the janitor only pretended to be pissed and enjoyed his weekly treasure hunt!
Cops live for this kind of stuff. The psychological profile for a cop and a hardened criminal is frighteningly similar. It only took about 2 months in NY City for the people to start hating and fearing the cops again after 911, the second most corrupt police system in the USA. New orleans is the first if you are interested and that was way before Katrina!!
Gently:
On day one of my first criminal law class in college, the professor told us that “if cops weren’t cops, they’d be crooks!” True so true!
Jonboy:
Keep dreaming! Phreedm doesn’t (and never will) see the incident at that school in FL as an “intrusion” but, rather, as a “blessing” and a gaw-given right. Don’t you know by now that, in order to pry that “mind” open, you need a crowbar?
“Separation of church and state is an ?intelligent design.?”
Must have been placed there by the same radical terrorists at Aqua Teen Hunger Force. I suspect Frylock. He’s kind of got that excluded ethnic thing going.

What,
Sorry folks, we’re going to need to blow the whole church, there is no way of knowing where the real bomb is.
HAHAHA I find this truely funny AND they will be occupied building another disneyland for a while and not be sending StrongBelieversInBSandPediphilia here while they are rebuilding.
And as a practicing (non-practicing??) atheist, I would never waste my time blowing up places of worship. It is futile as there is always some fool that cannot face reality without religion.
so from now on when I do nice things for people/organizations I will be sure to note that it is not from a xtian!
But I am making a small donation of items for Bingo prizes to a friend who does go to church and I will be sure to tell her that they are a gift from an atheist! Otherwise it will be assumed I am just a regular xtian.
I notice noone ever asked my religion all the years I was doing volunteer work at an animal shelter on Sundays. –I couldnt go to church- I was doing actual good works
Forget blowing up churches. I’d rather build more libraries.
That is a sentiment completely consistent with a mind of your caliber.
I think you should change the name of your blog to NoBrainBlog.com so as to make it properly descriptive.
Robert O’Brien – aye, & jaypers, an’ yer lookin’ to get yourself booted from yet another blog, are ye, laddie?
Sad it is, yes it is.
Oh who?
Ah, another humorless fundie has arrived…and delusions of superiority to boot? It?s becoming clich?, to say the least.
No brain? Surely then, for the blog to function at all would be a true miracle. Perhaps you need to rethink what the term “properly descriptive” actually means.
Didn’t Robert O’Brien get asshatted over at God is for Suckers?
Wish we had an asshat function.
karen:
Yep. Also got ‘disemvowelled’ at PZ Meyers.
I’ll betcha I can whip somethin’ up toot sweet.
Your wish is my command.
They had a bomb squad detonate CD players??
Apparently they love to waste money in Santa Fe, NM.
“Authorities determined the music players were not dangerous”
Yes, you can’t be too careful with those dangerous CD payers!:)
BTW, Can anyone tell me how to “put” a gray box around a quote?
Thanks in advance!
Doesn’t even sound like the work of atheists. Sounds more like the work of bored, religiously confused, christian born teenagers, letting out a little “steam” (religious guilt). I should hope it wasn’t atheists. Thats the same type of childish behavior and intolerance that allows religious wars to continue. Please rise above this, it doesn’t help our cause.
