Children of Anubis

I really don’t go out of my way to write about that serial gobshite, the exploderating orange Napoleon™, but some bugger sent me a link. Having already shown himself to be dumber than a box of rocks–unable to grasp a theory as simple as Natural Selection, which any 9 year old can understand–he’s been displaying his intellectual gifts again, writing that hybrid human-animal tissue cultures are ‘monstrous’ and ‘blaspheme[s] against the very idea of God’–as if he expects to see little dog-headed babies crawling around his constituency.
What is monstrous is his suggestion that the first loyalty of Roman Catholic MPs is to the head of a mystery cult–a god-king for life appointed from a self-selecting elite–who is not elected by constituents in this or any other country. What is monstrous is worshippers of a celestial Stalin interfering in research to find drugs for the most terrible maladies. Then again, partisans of a heavenly dictatorship see a child screaming in agony with an incurable disease, or an adult wasting away to a shadow of their former self, as evidence of god’s ‘divine plan’–suffering is character building don’t you know–or even more perversely, ‘divine punishment‘. This gladdens and reassures them–and gives them a little holy hard-on.

“Why March of the Mallards? Mallards are the only creatures that reproduce exclusively by gang rape. They have been captured on film indulging in some recreational homosexual necrophilia. So I want a film where Morgan Freeman says in the narration, ‘There goes that mallard taking the other dead mallard in the ass – in a dance as old as time.’ There’s nature.” - Stewart Lee
Anyone hear Indarjit Singh (I am informed that is who it was) use this morning’s Thought for the Day to ask us to consider “if the Nazis” had the power to do what the bill would allow. This is the level of discourse we are up against. NAZIS MAKE MOO MEN! - coming soon to a pulpit near you.

Indeed. Appalling abdication of argument: “All together now, say eeew.” You can still catch it on listen again. From God to Godwin in a syllable. Clifford Longley just after that on the prog is not much better: “if a scientist looks down the microscope he sees ‘a ball of tissue’ but a Person of Faith sees ‘a human being’.”
The use of the word “embryo” pre-empts the whole debate for some people. If you can call it debate.
Anyway, it’s a hybrid cell, isn’t it, not an embryo? If the distinction bothers you.

Should have said, the chumps of the religious right are bound to be upset when they believe ‘Man’ was especially created in the image of a divine creator–a god who looks like Galloway, now there’d be a cruel joke–while animals are ‘base’ and ‘low’, that we are not apes with large brains, but divinely ordained masters of the planet.

We wouldn’t have this problem if there were more furfen in parliament.
