Yes, I know it's free. Yes, I know it's our Local God's house and he can do anything he likes, to anyone he likes, whenever he likes. Are you listening, Our Little God? I know all that. And? Your redecoration sucks. Yes, it's your house. But why paint the walls a yellow-green whose only known equivalent is babyshit? Your reorganization sucks. What before was relatively clear is now pointlessly complex. What before could be readily undersood is now hopel

To: Adventure-Dude The purpose of my comment was not to commend you. You are, in your own way, as complete and utter a blasphemer, idolator, devil-worshipper, and rampant, screaming hypocite as is KFC. You differ from her only in this. You actively think. If I 'support', 'defend', 'agree with', anything you have to say it's only in the sense that I support the deliberate effort to think. And to that degree and in that way alone, I su

To: Adventure-Dude You are evidently a thinking person. A person who has given thought to your religious/spiritual perspective on the world. You and I may disagree (not that that matters because I'm right and you're wrong - excuse me, I was channeling KFC there) but it's evident from your contributions that you exercise thought in relation to your ritual observance. In all matters of religious/spiritual observance I look for a sense o

To: ThinkAloud I'm having one of my angry moments. Don't take it personally. If I were to be forced to choose between Judaisim and Islam I honestly don't know where my choice would fall. Both are more inherently honest than the canting hypocrisy and whining cowardice that goes by the name of Christianity.

I believe what I believe and am fine with that. Then why are you here? I tell you to your face that I consider your liberal prevaricating bullshit as something contemptible, idolatrous and blasphemous, and you have the witless gall to continue in your pathetic fence-sitting and expect to be praised for

(my sister in law is an RN and makes about 70k a year.) You'd think that for that much you could pay for a live-in nurse and a respite care aid to step in on her days off.

I've come to loathe 'the religious'. Whether they be Christian,Muslim, Hindu, Zoroastrian, Pagan, or whatever. In all honesty, and to paraphrase an honest man, "Whenever I hear the word 'religion' I reach for my pistol". I don't have a pistol. But if i did I'd kill everyone of you pathetic motherfuckers whenever I caught you. You preach endless hate. Your rig

Reply to My opinion on Americans in general and politics today in Politics JoeUser Forums

You write as if the American people are mere dupes and fools, their supposed good sense and decent morals hijacked by a band of criminals. People get the governments they elect. Governments produce policies and decisions that reflect what politicians understand to meet the concerns, needs, desires, of the people who elected them. If you persistently elect the members of the same political elites, each with their own relatively unchanging political agen

Reply to UN: Still Relevant? in International JoeUser Forums

No one should fear a blue hat. The UN's charter was devised at the end of WWII in order to meet the perceived security needs of that era. Perhaps it met them well, and perhaps it did not: which are questions irrelevant to whether it has a role in our present age. Personally, I believe it has none. UN forces participate in crises according to mandate, a mandate generally created in the security council where the five permanent members meet -

Reply to Cloverfield in Entertainment JoeUser Forums

Oh, and one last observation. Why is it that when seen from a distance the monster appears as tall as the Empire State Building, but when seen in close up by the charater 'Hud' (whom I would have been happy to watch being eviscerated in the first minute or two of the movie) the head of the thing appears no larger than that of a smaller-than-average Rottweiler? What, is it some sort of pinhead? An extra-terrestrial pinhead with a fondness for eating talentless wannabe actors and

Reply to Cloverfield in Entertainment JoeUser Forums

Cloverfield... an exercise in pretentious, art-fart 'camera technique'; tedious, utterly uninteresting characters (whom I'm happy to say died to the last one); special effects that reminded me of Doctor Who at its 1960s worst; a plot that consists of screaming and little else; dialogue that amounts to "I'm a yuppy, you're a yuppy; oh shit we are now dead yuppies"; and a 'monster' that might well have been impressive had anyone ever seen it. But I will say this for the 'monster': it has

Reply to The Language of Demons in Religion JoeUser Forums

This is a post entitled 'The Language of Demons'. What's posted as a list of terms relating to that 'language' is of course a series of terms in English. I'm willing to presume that even KFC, deficient in understanding, blinded by arrogance, and hoplessly ill-educated in biblical terminology and Christian theology as she is, is yet able to see that English as a language is not the purview of demons alone. If you want to experience the language of actual Angelic creatures (or Demonic, if

If there were no God or Christ in Religion JoeUser Forums

If there were no God or Christ we would have to invent him. That's no conceit of mine, it's origin lies with the German philosopher Heidegger, who said of our modern (and now post-modern) epoch that "Only a god can save us now." By which he meant that only something that was at once fundamentally objective and fundamentally just could relieve us of our all-consuming c

Me, I'd fornicate with a Demon any time any ol' Demon cared to ask. Not only would I, but I have. There's a movie I like. It's called 'Angel Heart'. The gist of the story is unimportant, as is the cast list (though it does feature a thoroughly sinister Robert DeNiro in the role of Satan). The plot involves an inexplicable murder somewhere in the Deep South. It features VooDoo, and the evocation of Principalities of Darkness. Some pathetic secret is to be concealed, and the aid

Or do you imagine that the victims of this vile, barbaric rite do not bleed? As I've said elsewhere, KFC - you are an idiot. And not merely an idiot but a foul hypocrite, liar and deceiver.
