To Foxjazz: once again I've left this too late and must ask you to wait for my comments on the rest of your posts. Also, I wished to answer foreverserenity before she lost all patience with me, since she also made interesting points. I will however say one thing before I go. You mean being in the threshold of th

To foreverserenity: I agree with this comparison somewhat. I say somewhat because I’m not sure of the begging and weeping, although now that I’m thinking about it, you’re right. Because from my experience, some Christians do end up begging and weeping when they are praying and beseeching the Lord for his help or his ble

To Foxjazz: I was not trying to be particularly "clear" in what was written. And I thought that would be "painfully obvious". Kinda like a code of sorts. But I was, you see. I may not be explicit as to my purposes, but I try to make what I write clear as to my meaning. As I long ago told my wif

To Foxjazz: Is it possible to rationalize what he is saying or even understand it? If the 'he' addressed (even rhetorically and in the third person - which is neither a particularly clear nor a particularly polite form of address) is myself then yes, it's perfectly possible to understand what I

Magickians have many purposes, some of which even a Christian might recognise and understand. Like getting a job. Or getting a girl. Or becoming wealthy. Or... or... or... The litany of wants to which a Magickian might pander, on behalf of which he might he go before the face of the universe and make his demands, are as endless as the list of causes which sen

Firstly, thanks for the comments. I assume you aren't refering to religion. No, I wasn't. I was referring to the apparently widespread misconception of citizenship, restricted solely to the concept of rights while ignoring or denying any understanding of obligation. I was referring, in fact, to

The need to be alone (that is, to be as completely apart from every other human being as it's possible for me to get) has been part of my life from early childhood. I am gregarious by neccesity, sociable only when compelled by circumstance (I work in an office; circumstance compels me to associate with co-workers, to spend time talking with them - fortunately, convers

The only thing wrong with a cathedral dedicated to Hitler is that Hitler quite rightly despised Christianity as the religion of cowards and weaklings. As to thhe German Chancellor paying a visit to some shrine to Germany's dead lost in the first and second world wars - I see nothing at all wrong with that. Brave men who die for their countries are just that - no matter what ideology their particular state espouses. Let the Japanese Prime Minis

What pisses me off about atheists is not their atheism - atheism is no more or less tenable an act of faith than any other - but their insistence that they should be left alone because they are willing to leave others alone. Christianity, Islam, to some extent Judaism, are all proselytizing religions. It's fundamental to their nature as religions that they seek to make converts - and the very fact that you deny the existence of god makes you a

Screw the Muslims: I'm offended by our (by which I mean the West's) pandering to the Whining Jew and his endless complaints. So six million of them died. And? It's no more than one incident in the pogrom-ridden history of a people that have been hated and despised wherever they have gone throughout their history. As for the Holocaust being somehow different because it was the first instance of the application of industrial principle to the production of mass death - it's worthy of note

Dentists, like Doctors, are one more variety of over-paid meat-magician. Just one more type of whore whose only interest in you is the amount of cash they can generate for themselves from your misery and pain. Blood-sucking leeches, one and all. Myself, I wouldn't let one of them near me until I had absolutely no choice.

To Rightwinger: Actually, even living here in America and following the news from Britain at second-hand via the online editions of the Guardian and the Independent, it's more than possible to connect the Price diary with the Iraq debacle, the condescension and deceit that led up to the beginning of that foolish adventure, and New Labour's unending addiction to the focus-group and the short term poll. But since I doubt you have any understanding of British politics (as most of

To BakerStreet: Ah, yes, EoIC returns to let us all know that we don't know anything. How wonderful that you are so enlightened. Just how does that happen, do you think? It happens through more than ten years of post-graduate study in the field of political philosophy. Ignorance is not a sin -

There are vast tracts of my life, extending into my middle twenties, of which I have almost no memory. There are incidents, episodes, vignettes; but no narrative connects them, makes them part of a whole that I can identify as 'my life'. My life doesn't take on any narrative form until I was twenty-four - and the night of my conversion to what I thought was C

The only passage in the above assorted bag of tawdry prejudice, partisan spleen, and general points-scoring that in any way addresses the actual issue at hand is this: "It is now no more that tolerance is spoken of, as if it was by the indulgenced of one class of people, that another enjoyed the exercise of their inheren

Marvin, Marvin... your sweaty angst is beginning to show. Don't lie to yourself, Marvin. Admit you have a mind like a sewer and that, beneath the repression of being a good Christian, you fornicate with her every night. And isn't it just delicious that her last name is Church - I can hear the wheels in your head grinding as you imagine fucking her on the Altar from here. Don't you know, Marvin, that it's the good Christians, tied in k

Saying that we all have a spirit, and that therefore we are all 'spiritual', is rather like saying we all have muscles and are therefore athletes. While we all have muscles some of us a rather less well-prepared to exert them than others, and some of us prefer to lie on the couch shoving beer and chips in our faces. Which is fine. Some worship their gods through indulgence, some through self-denial. What makes me uneasy about the article is it

To Bailey: firstly, don't let these PMSing bitches get to you. Your motive for doing it is no one's business but yours, and is irrelevant to whatever answers might be given.
