Squirting and the Catholic Church!

by Mark Zedler

If you came here looking for a juicy story about how the Catholic church condemns squirting, I will have to disappoints you.

Gay History According to Pat Robertson

by Mark Zedler

Here’s another gem from one of my favorite religious bigots, Pat Robertson. Take a look at this YouTube video clip where he suggests that nations that embrace the homosexual lifestyle will end up on the garbage heap of history.
