Bahahaha!

Henceforth I wish to be addressed as Mi Amore OldDog The Enormous.

Or simply " "

Except Dog is MAN's best friend and hence sexist.

And why is Fresh-MAN offensive and fe-MALE and wo-MAN not?

How in the world did the 'greatest generation' live with themselves much more accomplish all that they did?

Going forward lets refer to everyone and everything by the same name,
f-u-c-k-e-d-u-p!!!

This woman is wacked, pure and simple! We laugh at some weirdo who proclaims that a spaceship is coming to rescue "true believers" prior to the end of the world, shake our heads when some insane narcissist commands his followers to drink poisoned Kool-ade but so called "Christians" take this flake seriously?! She might get some votes from Westboro Baptist but otherwise, she should be out of politics. We will always have a large population of squirrels in this country because we are teeming with nuts!

'obediance brings about his blessings'
whatever
as a poster i saw the other day said, the people who wrote the bible didn't know where the sun went at night, but we are supposed to believe and follow all that they wrote?

I have no argument with any of the world's "major" religions, especially those believing in a supreme being (witchcraft holds that all are paths to the divine). The problem is not in the belief system but in the blind acceptance of individual quotations often times themselves products of ignorance and superstition at the expense of the basic message. We don't stone folks to death in this country and decry other cultures for still doing so even though the bible can be read as commanding such action. Yet folks steadfastly hold to ancient beliefs of "morality" when it avoids acceptance of those different from self. Professionally I have dealt with many folks who exchanged an addiction to drugs or alcohol or sex for what can only be termed an addiction to fundamentalist religion. For them, they have merely exchanged one crutch for another and they are not alone. My point is that religion can be the cornerstone of one's life but it cannot be one's master demanding blind obedience at the expense of free will and thought.

again.
my cousin is one of those.
i like some of the messages in the bible, especially the ones about not throwing stones, not judging.
but, others think they're perfectly suited to doing just that. they also tend to ignore the part about 'whatsoever you do to the least of my brothers...'
too often people use religion as a tool to bludgeon others with. they use it to excuse violence, oppression, they use old teachings to deny people (typically these days women, back in the day it was the slaves here in this country) any education. centuries ago it was in europe, in the 1800's it was here, and currently it's mainly seen in islamic countries. hell, the phillipines, with rampant poverty and huge families, just recently legalized birth control-which the RCC fought tooth and nail.
it makes no sense to me.

'theories'

obviously the ouachita school superintendent doesn't know what that word means.
