From the "It's not just Moslems who are stupid extremists!" file...

I'm sure all of you have heard of the latest puppy-related outrage and subsequent Dhimmi response.

But to prove I'm fair-and-balanced, here are two examples of stupidity from religions who are more often than not victims, rather than the antagonists, of hate and/or stupidity.

When God isn't hating "fags", He apparently loves muskrats. This flier comes from the Westboro Baptist Church of Fred Phelps fame (the same Phelps who has run for office as a Democrat and was friends with Al Gore's family until he picketed Al Gore Sr.'s funeral when Gore Jr. supported President Clinton's ghey policies).

And now, Robert Thurman, liberal Professor of Buddhist Studies at Columbia University and father of Uma Thurman, said the following:

What do you think about when you meditate? Usually, some form of trying to excavate any kind of negative thing cycling in the mind and turn it toward the positive. For example, when I am annoyed with Dick Cheney, I meditate on how Dick Cheney was my mother in a previous life and nursed me at his breast.

You mean you fantasize about being breast-fed by Dick Cheney? It’s a fantasy of releasing fear and developing affection. It’s a way of coming back to feeling grateful toward him and seeing his positive side, finding the mother in Dick Cheney.

What would Freud say about that? Freud would freak out. He would say, “Well, you are seeking the oceanic feeling of the baby in the womb.” Infantile regression — that’s what he thought the quest for enlightenment was.

Oh, well. At least Phelps and Thurman aren't beheading infidels or mutilating their daughters' gentials.

Yet.

What the article really means is:

"Thurman has a milking fetish manifesting itself as Dick Cheney"

OMG, I thought you were kidding...until I clicked the link.

Personally, I'd like to be breast fed by Uma. This is not a way to ameliorate harsh feelings toward Uma, I just think she has nice mams.

Sorry, the debbil made me type that.
