To dharmagrl: Is what you write here a matter of regular discussion at your house? Yes, we talk about this stuff all the time - and we can't get to the end of a news show if we watch it together because we end up pulling apart some story on the show (almost always taking opposite points of view
To drmiler You sir are a regular butt wipe But at least I'm Sir Butt Wipe:) Well, next time I write I'll bear your infimities in mind. But you ought to recall that I'm a Sadist. Now I know it makes your eyes hurt I'll be careful to make my articles twice as long... }
To drmiler: Educating the stupid is like training a slow-witted dog. You have to say everything verrrrrrrrrrry slowlyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy and verrrrrrrrrry oftennnnnnnn to make sure the audience gets the message. And if you're having difficulties reading what I write might I suggest you practice reading till you're quick enough to follow me?
To kingbee: It starts with a g and it ends with an a. What more do you need to know?
Well. Here we are again, in a sea of Christian anthropomorphism run mad. We'll start at the beginning. Because you (any of you) experience God in some particular way does not mean that God is confined to that experience. Because one experiences the wrath of God does not mean that another will not experience mercy. Because one experiences mercy does not mean that another, in exactly the same circumstances, will not experience wrath. You cannot argue from the particular to the univ
Is it respect for religion that he lacks, or respect for "ass-clowns and moonbats Personally, I like ass-clowns. And moonbats. I'm not as fond of a bunch of ignorant mullahs telling me what I can say, what I can know, and what I can believe, however.
You should really have more respect for religion. Let me see you respect them when they're stoning your sister to death in the public square for not covering her face. Fuck their religion - I don't have to respect it because I'm a damned infidel . Islam is no more than the ravings of a sun-baked s
To all: thank you for the comments. As ever they are appreciated, whether or not I agree with what's been said. In the article I refer to a difference between American 'liberals' and Liberalism. Sabrina also refers to the same difference (all I have to say to you, you trollop, is 'Yeah, what she said'). The American Left is so far removed from the intellectual rigor, discipline and dedication of the European Left that I'm almost embarrassed
If it wasn't these cartoons it would be an artist or journalist, or some other thing they found offensive. We need to start remembering that we're all of us infidels - so the medieval barbarities that constitute Islamic 'law' do not apply to us, nor to any artistic or jounalist production that derives from the values of the West. These people don't hate what we do - they hate what we are . Whatever we do they are to going to hate because
My wife, god bless her evil heart, in the interests of promoting my blogging presence, has cleaned up the cussing n stuff and removed the adult tag. See? I'm not averse to censorship when it works to favor communication. So long as its self censorship or, as in this case, self-censorhip by trusted proxy. Ta, wife.
To dharmagrl: we'll see you on the barricades dear:)

I've always believed, profoundly, that the principles of natural selection apply as much to the evolution of political societies as they do to the evolution of biological organisms. War is the architect of human society, and has been for at least the last ten thousand years of human sociability, since the first villages came together to defend crops and herd animals f
To ParaTed2k: The point of the article is not to 'share' anything - that's simply a byproduct of writing here. The point is to explore something, to excavate its meaning for myself. Others watching is another byproduct of my writing here . As to your merely sharing your own opinion - well, I'll grant you your opinions are meager and therefore might be referred to as mere. But mere or not they are built on the foundation of arrogance sha
I'm not sure what's going on with the comment function here - but evidently JU is having a bad day...
To ParaTed2k: As far as the idea that He is still on the cross? That one I'll leave up to theologeons to tackle, but for me, I thought the whole point was that, the cross and the crypt are empty. Jesus wasn't on the cross when he appeared to Mary, nor when he appeared to the Apostles... Interesting article. Always interested to hear what others think
Well. Such a wealth of comments (as I hope I've made apparent over the course of my irregular appearances in JU I don't write for comments, though they are welcome when I get them). And all of them pretty much on topic too. To BakerStreet: I know your respect for my opinion is something less than nil, but
Adding what I have doesn't make this more comprehensible, nor is the addition meant in any way as an answer to anything posted prior to the addition itself. It does make it more nearly satisfying to me, however. I'll post proper answers to everyone who has commented tomorrow, or Sunday.

How many different sorts of suffering are there in the world? And how many of them are innocent? I've no doubt there are many, and that asking how many forms can be described as innocent is akin to asking how many angels can dance on the point of a pin - not head, as is usually stated. A mathematical answer has been worked out ( <a href="http://www.improbable.com/ai
Are you trying to live forever? Drink the goddamn coffee and tell that blood sucking, over-paid meat magician (who makes his living by feeding on your disease, your misery) to go fuck himself (or herself, or itself) with a cattleprod. Christ on a fuckstick I loathe medics.
Work... the curse of the drinking classes.
Poor would be not being able to get drunk n stoned on a regular basis.

I imagine you're alone at the moment. If you aren't you ought to be. Goddamn you're one tight-assed control freak.
