A city councilor in Switzerland has apologized and reportedly sought police protection against threats after she fired a sport pistol at an auction poster of a 14th-century Madonna and child painting and posted images of their bullet-ridden faces on social media.

Green-Liberal party official Sanija Ameti, 32, put the images on Instagram over the weekend before quickly pulling them down. She later said she had been practicing shots from about 10 meters (33 feet) and found the poster as “big enough” for a suitable target.

“I apologize to the people who were hurt by my post. I deleted it immediately when I realized its religious content. I didn’t think about it,” Ameti wrote on X. “I’m incredibly sorry.”

If she was a victim of pedophile priests, then I feel she is justified. If not, religious institutions can fuck themselves anyway, so I still feel she is justified. Here, how's this: I asked her to do it, so everyone needs to be mad at me. Hey God, I don't know why you would even care, but on behalf of children with cancer or childhood dementia, fuck you. Fuck you god. I know it's a poster of Mary and baby jesus, and I don't care. God can still go fuck itself.

And don't even get me started on how the first moral crime christianity ever performed was murdering Jesus and then creating a religion in his name.

Have I said god can go fuck itself?

"Why? Because God hates me, that's why. He has made my life miserable. So I called him a cocksucking asshole. Then I get grounded."

I still watch and sing along with this movie on a regular basis. It aged pretty well.
