Reverend Magdalen still hasn't gotten her son back

[madrchsod]

"Reverend Mary Magdalen) lost custody of her son after a conservative custody judge was outraged at the fact that she is a member of the Church of the SubGenius. As a result of appearing in a adult-rated parody of Mel Gibson's "The Passion of the Christ," custody of her son was taken from her and awarded to the boy's father (the couple was never married). Rachel and her husband have fought a long, expensive battle to win custody of their son, while her ex-boyfriend's legal costs have been entirely been handled by a pro-bono lawyer (who is a friend of his). Legal costs have exceeded $70,000 as of March 2007."

Boing Boing: Reverend Magdalen still hasn't gotten her son back


i did`t know the subgenius was a religion !

1. I didn't realize SubGenius was a real religion. I thought it was a parody, like Pastafarianism...

and Scientology.

3. It's a parody, not a real religion. nt

4. Defining a "real" religion is problematic. (n/t)

[kiahzero]

2. And yet Christians claim that they're oppressed.

I can't think of a single example of a Christian losing their child simply by virtue of being a Christian, yet I can think of plenty of examples of Christian judges taking away children from non-Christian parents because their religious beliefs are "weird."
