Jordan River is a Great Big Toilet

Jordan River threatened by dams and sewage - Yahoo! News: "'The Jordan River will disappear if nothing is done soon. More than half of it is raw sewage and runoff water from agriculture. What keeps the river flowing today is sewage,' Munqeth Mehyar, chairman of Friends of the Earth Middle East (FOEME), an Israeli-Jordanian-Palestinian group, told Reuters."

The atheist and cult hater in me really wants to say something snippy about all this, as if the only thing to come out of that river is more crap. But, unfortunately, it'll do nothing but encourage people to write impassioned but poorly-constructed and misspelled rants in my comments section. Considering I'll barely glance at them before deleting them and calling the writer a dumbass cultist kook, I can't see that it would help anyone.

So I'll leave it at that.

No I won't. In addition to some pathetically illogical belief that their god wants them to multiply like fucking rabbits until they destroy the entire fucking planet with the waste of their unchecked breeding, apparently the idea of wanton destruction without a moment's thought of the consequences has shown that even their most valuable icons - a natural resource as well - isn't safe from their vandalism.

So what's the message they take from their god through various prophets, other than that to listen to the wrong prophet is heresy? The message seems to be that one should have as many fucking children as possible, eat everything in sight, plough over rainforest to make room for houses and fields of only slightly modified wheat, and turn ALL the rivers of the world to cesspools.

Yeah, because your god wants you to fuck up what you think he created. What kind of god needs a fan club and wants them shitting on his lawn?
