Theocratic Sect Prays for Real Armageddon

Comment #240705 by mordacious1 on September 1, 2008 at 12:05 am

I always thought po-faced meant "poker faced", but according to the dictionary, it probably originated from "chamber pot". It seems like poker faced makes more sense, but...

(heaves chamber pot at DR) (hears DR screaming that someone is threatening him again)

Laurie (if you're still around)

They had a shooting at a local Sikh Temple today and the news reported:

"The crowd heard the gunshots and saw the men with the guns," said Sgt. Tim Curran. "They (crowd) tackled one of the suspects and detained him."

The crowd then turned the man over to police, who suffered injuries when the crowd hit him with field hockey and cricket sticks, Curran said.

I wonder where TWP is?

Settle down Laurie. Take a spin in the Volvo, pick up a few beers, come back home and relax over a cool one. (goes to other room to retrieve Guinness)

505. Better Know a Lobby - Atheism

Comment #240495 by mordacious1 on August 31, 2008 at 2:21 pm

Adding to my earlier post: I think it's funny that the two major holidays for xians, have two of their main songs, Easter Parade and White Christmas written by a Jew. Does that make Berlin a christian, or a guy trying to make a buck? Similar to those great artists of old that Colbert was referring to.

Comment #240470 by mordacious1 on August 31, 2008 at 2:00 pm

So when Brown says that Irving Berlin was a nontheist, and Colbert is "shocked" and says he was Jewish, "Are you saying Jews don't believe in god?". Brown replies that she thinks he was a secularist Jew. To which Colbert says, "He wrote 'White Christmas'". So does this mean Jews believe in christ? Funny, but stupid at the same time.

The Republicans will stop. They will then extract all the oil and gas from the vehicle. Before they leave, they will flip your car over, then sell you a handgun to protect it from theft.

She wants ID to be taught as an alternative "theory" in a SCIENCE classroom. This is why she is an idiot.

Another interesting thing about Palin Drone, is that she sued the Bush Administration over putting polar bears on the endangered species list. This is stupid in itself, but an obvious move if you want to protect and enhance drilling rights.

Also, since she is the governor of Alaska, she should study one of her state's most majestic animals. The evolution of polar bears from brown bears is fairly well documented in the fossil record. I suppose she wants to teach that it was nice of god to make them white and larger so they can exist in the snow. But why is god now destroying their habitat and the artic bears with it? What a douche he is.

Comment #239943 by mordacious1 on August 30, 2008 at 3:25 pm

Governor Palin is a staunch anti-choice religious conservative. She's a global warming denier who shares John McCain's commitment to Big Oil and she's dramatically inexperienced. She also doesn't see the difference between teaching creationism and evolution in public schools. She was once runner up in the Miss Alaska beauty contest though. Not much competition up there in Alaska it seems.

513. Pastor Michael Guglielmucci spun gospel of lies

Comment #239792 by mordacious1 on August 30, 2008 at 10:43 am

Using the general brush of "fraud" for all ministers may not be correct. If a snake oil salesman really believes his elixer will cure people, is it still fraud?

There are two types of ministers. Those that know there is no god and take money from their flock, hence fraud. Those that are delusional, like our snake oil salesman, may not, in the most strict sense, be defrauding anyone. The end results are the same though, people give up money for something that is totally worthless. A practice that we should certainly put a stop to.

Actually in the U.S., churches can legally bar inter-racial marriages in their churches. They would have to give up certain bennies, like tax-free status but they could do it. Bob Jones' University excluded just about everyone who wasn't WASP, for years. It still does, to a lesser degree. In the U.S., we cannot force people to not be racist or homophobic. We can make life more difficult if they are though.

One major difference between the two parties occurs when they start pandering to their bases. GW puts catholic right wingers on the Court, and Obama will put lefties on the bench. They will also sign various legislation, or veto, to make their base happy. It comes down to whether one wants the left pandered to, or the right.

520. Porn pastor's wife vows to stand by him

Comment #237387 by mordacious1 on August 26, 2008 at 12:15 pm

The guy was addicted to porn....he was a hypocrite, ok not too bad.
He said he had cancer...he was a fraud, but that's what preachers do, they tell their flock lies to get money.

What I want to know is: did he do anything bad that affects the rest of us, like writing bum checks?

They just had Cheetah on the news. He's 76 and likes to eat at McDonalds and watch old Tarzan movies (starring Cheetah of course). Pretty cool.

I think we should all get together and come up with some GOOD questions for the faithheads to ask Richard. I think he'd probably be shocked if he got asked a different question for a change.

Sorry if that sounded harsh, I didn't mean it that way.

It's funny, when you buy electronics at Costco, they have a concierge service that does a 3 way call to tech support in the U.S. When I had to send my laptop back recently for a new motherboard, the Pakistani guy was giving me the run around. I got the Costco lady to do the calling, I was on the phone for 10 minutes and got my computer sent off, repaired, and back in 4 business days.

Your memory is bad, age?

I said at the time, that I can repair computers, diagnose issues, etc. I find that fun and interesting. But do not ask me to take the time to learn how to do an avatar...it doesn't interest me.

If you call on my cell phone, you'll hear a message from my daughter saying that her dad hates cell phones and probably won't return your call. That doesn't mean I can't repair the damn thing.

Not a computer issue, or I would have dealt with it. It was about a stupid fax machine that was supposed to have a built in answering machine. It's a long (about 5 hours) story.

You know me, derailing threads and making snide remarks is what I do. I hear Dachau is nice this time of year.

The thing is, after all that, she gets the supervisor's supervisor in the states and he says, "I know the user guide says your new machine can do that, but it can't...so send it back. It took him 5 minutes at most."
