Vandals egg house of local atheist

Daily Herald Staff Report

Published: 9/23/2007

From an Illinois newspaper - Not even Texas for a change

The home of a local outspoken atheist was vandalized overnight Friday, police said -- with eggs tossed at the house and cars, and crosses and religious words scrawled in chalk on the driveway.

A church bulletin also was stuck on the front door.

The incident comes days after Rob Sherman's daughter, Dawn, led a successful effort to have the song "God Bless America" yanked from Buffalo Grove High School's homecoming celebration. Dawn Sherman is a freshman on the student council.

The vandalism likely was the retaliatory work of youngsters, police Sgt. Mike Millett said -- since it came on the heels of the school incident and because one of the chalked words, "Jesus," was misspelled.

It was much more likely to be the "god-fearin', church-goin'" parents of the students at Buffalo Grove High School. The only reason Illinois has fewer religious nutcases than Texas is that it has fewer people than Texas - proportionally, Illinois is slightly worse.

They Love to Do Their Homework

Stephanie Simon of The Los Angeles Times writes: "Equal but different.
You hear that a lot on the lush green campus of Southwestern Baptist
Theological Seminary. God values men and women equally, any student here will tell you. It's just that he's given them different
responsibilities in life: Men make decisions. Women make dinner."

Dead Reverend's Rubber Fetish

Autopsy: Pastor found in wet suits after auto erotic mishap

OCTOBER 8--An Alabama minister who died in June of "accidental mechanical asphyxia" was found hogtied and wearing two complete wet suits, including a face mask, diving gloves and slippers, rubberized underwear, and a head mask, according to an autopsy report. Investigators determined that Rev. Gary Aldridge's death was not caused by foul play and that the 51-year-old pastor of Montgomery's Thorington Road Baptist Church was alone in his home at the time he died (while apparently in the midst of some autoerotic undertaking).

While the Montgomery Advertiser, which first obtained the autopsy records, reported on Aldridge's two wet suits, the family newspaper chose not to mention what police discovered inside the minister's rubber briefs. Aldridge served as the church's pastor for 16 years. Immediately following his death, church officials issued a press release asking community members to "please refrain from speculation" about what led to Aldridge's demise, adding that, "we will begin the healing process under the strong arm of our Savior, Jesus Christ."

Be sure to read the autopsy report. "Condom covered dildo in anus."

A condom on the dildo. Presumably, he didn't know where that dildo had been?

I'm guessing that it's easier to toss the condom than it is to clean the dildo. I'm also guessing that he knew this... from (possibly extensive) prior experience.

Oh, right: no speculation. My bad.
