WASHINGTON – Housing and Urban Development Secretary Scott Turner told his thousands of federal employees that they can leave work early Friday in honor of Easter and Passover, sending them a brazenly religious message declaring “all men are endowed by their creator” with certain rights and referencing a time when “Jesus broke bread and drank wine with his disciples showing that sacrifice can truly change the world.”
Turner informed HUD workers in an internal email Wednesday night that they can leave work four hours early Friday to begin their religious rituals.
“America’s founding fathers proclaimed that all men are endowed by their creator with the right to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness — this declaration rang true as the Jews fled Egypt and found freedom in the Holy Land, and it rang true once again when Jesus broke bread and drank wine with his disciples showing that sacrifice can truly change the world,” reads the email sent on behalf of Turner via his chief of staff, Andrew Hughes.
He encourages government employees to head into the “holy weekend” reflecting on the freedoms they have “that the world has never known.”

It's obvious that Cat Worship is the only religion that makes a lick of sense (get it?). The major monotheisms are convoluted, myopic, science-denying women-hating patriarchal mythologies made up by primitive goat humpers who made males the only main characters in their stupid stories about nonexistent magical sky beings. It's astonishing that even one modern person still buys this abject nonsense.
All Hail Our Kitty Overlords!
