An email I received:
Hello, I am disturbed at the way the penis worship religion is running our media and our schools. I am also tired of normal religions taking the flak for penis worshippers. Priests who sexually abuse children are penis worshippers, not Catholics. Suicide bombers who kill themselves for 72 virgins are penis worshippers, not Muslims. There are no Mormon polygamists, only penis worship polygamists. I have never gotten a response to my complaints about the penis worship religion online, but all my friends and family (even my husband) agree with me. What do you think? Thank you for your time. God bless us and them.
What do you guys think? Seems pretty weird to me.
Note from Custador: Chaps, could you avoid using the word “penis” in your replies, or deliberately misspell the word? The spam filter has so far intercepted every reply to this thread and I’m getting bored of clicking “approve… approve… approve… approve…”. Thanks all! @Dan, sorry to barge in on your post, old chap!
Note from Dan: Well if we can’t wield the word “penis” in replies, that makes this post a bit hard to discuss… but I’m sure you guys can be creative.
Is that the opposite of the religion in Zardoz?

Looks like a clear case of the No True Penis Worshipper fallacy to me.
Phallusy?
Win.
She’s basically saying the human male’s obsession with sex even turns up among religious people, isn’t she? Maye she wants to believe it’s some kind of organized faith, which is obviously absurd, but more likely she just wants people to see sexual motivations for what they are.
I don’t see it that way. The author is certainly saying that sexual obsession is bad and part of the problem, but is also trying to distance ‘real religion’ from the acts perpetrated by the religious people she has written off as penis worshippers. It seems like an elaborate No True Scotsman.
It’s just one more version of the old “no true Scotsman” fallacy, she take it on faith that religion is good so any bad thing done in the name of religion can’t be an act of a true believer. Therefore any one who does bad things is not a true christian/muslim/jew/mormon but a perverted penis worshiper.
I suppose destroying one’s penis in the process of blowing themselves up is a superb way to give thanks to the cock.
you just made me spit coffee on the screen……….thanks ;)
Whenever I make someone laugh on the internet, I feel much more proud than I do for my real world accomplishments. It’s weird. But you’re welcome!
Was Soloman a penis worshipper because of all of his wives and concubines?
She seems to be divorcing religion (true belief) from pedophile priests, polygamists and Islamic bombers. Maybe I’m reading too much into her naive and wacky e-mail, but could it be…hmm…SATAN?
She should check this out:

She sounds vaguely like the stereotype of extreme feminism, but mixed with with fundie crazy, if that’s possible.
Koch worshipers.
P**** worshipping priest/televangelist admits to affair with his cousin
I am a member of the P3nis Church for about 15 mins most nights before I go to sleep and dream of the Vergina Church.

Our penis
Who art in jockies
Percy be thy name
Give us this day our morning wood
And lead us always to temptation
For thine are the hormones
The desires and the urges
At least until nap time
rAmen
bravo!
I for one welcome our p3nis’ overlords!
People who doesn’t pay taxes? p3nis worshippers.
Shoplifters? No, p3nis worshippers.
People who get drunk? P3nis worshippers.
Workaholics? No, p3nis worshippers.
Darwinists? No, p3nis worshippers.
“even my husband” Ehm, “even”? He must be the sanest one in that family.
Perhaps she just has a bad case of p3nis envy. What do you think Freud?
Wang has a certain ring to it….
Mine has certain rings through it too :-p
This is maybe more detail than we need….;-)
You haven’t seen that bit in the Joys of Teen Sex on Channel 4 where that dude is getting a Prince Albert fitted in, have you? Worst. Scene. In. British. Television. History.
I haven’t, no….. And thanks to YouTube, now I have. I love that one of the guys has a full forearm tattoo and yet he’s reacting like that to somebody else getting an Albert. Honestly, a PA isn’t the most painful piercing a man can have by a damned sight.
Maybe so, but it is unparalleled in its ability to trigger the leg-crossing reflex when mentioned.
I hesitate to ask what is… but there, i just did.
It’s a genital piercing that goes down the urethra and out through the side of the penis to one side of the penile frenum.
That is the prince albert? Or that is more painful? They all sound painful to me! I had my belly button done in college and I about died.
That’s a PA, yes.
P3nis worship? See ‘lingam’.
Seems she has a desire to vindicate religion of atrocities committed in the name of god(s), and a tendency towards sexual repression and misandry.
There is also a fairly well know idea about the Sky Gods, worshipped by warriors/nomads and the Earth Goddesses, worshipped by agricultural societies. The thought is that the warrior cultures have, over time, taken over the agricultural cultures. Commonly cited are the Greek myths where Zeus rapes (takes over) female goddesses of the islands/lands that have been invaded. Not direct “p3nis” worshipping, but along that line.

There actually is something like direct p3nis worship from Greek mythology.

Or you know… Shiva worship from modern Hinduism. Represented by giant trouser snakes. Ironic… because he is kind of a dick mythologically.
Free Willy? Perhaps Man sausage, trouser snake, male member or simply “dicK would get by the filter and still communicate the message.
Most persistent Freudian slip ever? Someone’s got winkies on their mind.
You can stop right there. I agree, you are disturbed.
I wonder if there’s a break away faction who had a disagreement whether head on or head off was best – the Penilecostal Church maybe?
We could just say “It-that-shall-not-be-named-snigger-wink-wink”.
That just made my day. A question: being gay, am I also a p**** worshipper? :)
You don’t have to worship p3nises to be gay. You just have to be on amicable terms with them.
I’m not gay but am quite pleased with amicable terms :)
The Church of Robotnik will not be oppressed like this! All hail the mighty PINGAS!
LOL at “even my husband agree(s) with me.” This definitely needs flushing out. ;)
i can’t see anything controversial about saying that religion has a morbid fascination with sex (as opposed to a healthy interest, i suppose). however, from the way she expressed herself… either she’s crazy, or just needs a good fuck. and i’m not volunteering to go over to find out which
It just goes to show…”the (PEN is) mightier than the (s WORD).
LIKE!
Can’t we all just embrace the penis and get along?
If I was a little boy raped by a Catholic priest, I would rather know that he was a lying sack of sh** that belonged to Satan’s pen** worship religion than a true man of God. If I was a Muslim who’s family was killed by a suicide bomber, I would rather know that he was a pen** worshipper doing Satan’s bidding than that my own God wanted my family killed.
