Mute of Thy Womb

It's not hard to understand why he doesn't want to talk about his conversion to Catholicism. He probably doesn't understand it himself. Like everything else religious, it's not an intellectual decision based on facts and evidence, but an emotional one, based on feeling and a "sense of solace and peace," as he said in his explanationless blog post.

As far as I'm concerned it's just the same shit in a different can.

Here's a question- according to Catholic doctrine birth control is a "mortal sin." He has said on a previous show that Catholics are wrong on birth control. So does this mean he has changed his mind? Or does he still approve of this mortal sin? If so my understanding is that he can't take communion (cf. pro-choice John Kerry).

Bonus: anybody catch the show about marriage where he asked his wife if she could live in a sexless marriage? Here's the audio:

You have to wonder, is it as bad as that? If so, Erik the marriage counselor would like to recommend he try one of those vibrating egg things. They can really turn back the clock.

Welcome Home

As silly and pointless as the Protestant churches are, at least they still retain an air of respectability. Not so the Catholics.

It's no wonder the Pope dresses like a pimp. The Catholic Church is one of the most corrupt and venal organizations on the planet. They are the mother of organized crime; the Vatican is swollen with wealth stolen from every corner of the globe; their priests are mostly devoted to the sacraments of faggotry and pedophilia; they practice a de facto polytheism, with "patron saints" (read: gods) of every conceivable human endevour; they have terrorized, tortured, and abused more souls on earth than any group in history.

I knew Allen liked to make nice with them but I just thought it was a nod to the oikumene. I had no idea he was actually crazy enough to sign up with these pagans.

I should be clear about this: I don't hate Allen or Catholics, and I don't care what religion he practices. I just don't want to hear him promote this kind of nonsense anymore on my beloved (and historically secular) WSB am 750. If atheists, agnostics, and skeptics had a voice on the station (or ANY station) it would be fine, but until then I will continue pointing out the absurdity of his belief system.

Allen Hunt to Methodists: Fuck You.

Ouch. Why not just kick ol' Martin Luther in the nuts while you're at it.

Meet His Sponsor

Quick Click Loans is a proud sponsor of the Allen Hunt Show. If you aren't familiar with them they are a predatory lender, lending money to poor people at interest rates of 59%. While Allen rails against the Georgia lottery for preying on the vulnerability of the poor, his show is supported by the most pernicious of usurers.

I guess Allen never read this verse, or more likely he does what most Christians do and just finds a convenient rationalization for his behavior.

Happy to be Here

I'm happy to be back in town again after more travel. The flying machine frightens me.

I apologize for the absence of my promised guest blogger. I had word form someone close to Allen's show-- someone I'll call Bandy Orgmann-- that he would do a guest blog about what a moron I am and how wrong I am about everything. Alas, Bandy backed out citing an overload of real work to do. Here's something I think he woulda said though:

Erik likes to posture himself as a kind of sensitive philosopher-poet beneath a jaded veneer, yet he has already admitted both on this blog and in personal communication with me that he spends most of his time eating, sleeping, and masturbating to internet pornography. No wonder Mr. Sensitive thinks we came from monkeys- maybe HE DID."

You get the gist.
