Our main ally in the Iraq War, Britain - is so unfettered by fundamentalist Christians that they have just certified their first Naval Satanist, who will be allowed to perform genuine Satanic Rituals on his navy vessel.
I'm not making this stuff up
If we post this story all over the wing-nut blogsphere, they'll go into fits, realize that the Bush Administration is in league with Satanists, and stay home November 2. Details after the break.
Navy approves first ever Satanist
The British Armed Forces has officially recognised its first registered Satanist, according to a newspaper report.
Naval technician Chris Cranmer, 24, has been allowed to register by the captain of HMS Cumberland.
The move will mean that he will now be allowed to perform Satanic rituals on board the vessel.

A spokesman for the Royal Navy said: "We are an equal opportunities employer and we don't stop anybody from having their own religious values."
It seems to me that this is pretty explosive news for the bible-thumping Bush cult - and will have them burning english dictionaries (not that they knew how to use them anyway), and throwing boxes of tea and biscuits into the harbor. Hell, if the Southern Baptists boycotted Disney because they had non-discriminatory benefit policies - what are they going to do about an avowed Satanist?
With 9 days left before the election, I think this is a great time to sow confusion and dismay amongst the ranks of our god-fearing bretheren. What do you guys think?
