Whatever!!!

Should I just start calling you "your superexcellency autocrat"?

I said I didn't have sleep to explain for the typos .. My cousin is in the fucking hospital in Ontario Dying.

ANd I know what I said .. There was NOTHING in it about violence towards christains ... NOTHING!!! .. It was just history from a Christain perspective. Every example I typed was true and went with one of Cosmo's points.

Your were just jealous I made an intersting post.

There was absolutley nothing in that post that had ANYTHING to do with violence in modern times.

Look at me look at me I am the autocrat!

Twis time to grace ye anew with thy presence, for thou art thy quintessence of benevolence.. Thou shall show pitty for ye of nefarious ways, as thou shall grant ye a bestowal of verbalization with thee. As thou art thy veritable autocrat, twis thy divine manifestation thou give to ye. Hath now fully thine, hence ye must read forth in docility, thy exquisite doctrine.

Shutup about it Gordon. Being a moderator is a difficult and thankless job, and if you don't like the way they run this board or interpret your posts, you don't have to post here. This is not a democracy. I've seen too many message boards degenerate into mindless vituperation; the only ones that don't are the ones with ruthless, hard-nosed moderators and administrators. So knock it off or go somewhere else.

Yossarian: "And don't tell me God works in mysterious ways. There's nothing so mysterious about it. He's not working at all. He's playing. Or else He's forgotten all about us. That's the kind of God you people talk about- a country bumpkin, a clumsy, bungling, brainless, conceited, uncouth hayseed. Good God, how much reverence can you have for a Supreme Being who finds it necessary to include such phenomena as phlegm and tooth decay in His divine system of creation? What in the world was running through that warped, evil, scatalogical mind of His when He robbed old people of the power to control their bowel movements? Why in the world did He ever create pain?"

Lieutenant Scheisskopf's wife: "Pain? Pain is a useful symptom. Pain is a warning to us of bodily dangers."

Yossarian: "And who created dangers? Oh, He was really being charitable to us when He gave us pain! Why couldn't He have used a doorbell instead to notify us, or one of his celestial choirs? Or a system of blue-and-red neon tubes right in the middle of each person's forehead. Any jukebox manufacturer worth his salt could have done that. Why couldn't He?"

Lieutenant Scheisskopf's wife: "People would certainly look silly walking around with red neon tubes in the middle of their foreheads."

Yossarian: "They certainly look beautiful now writhing in agony or stupefied with morphine, don't they? What a colossal, immortal blunderer! When you consider the opportunity and power He had to really do a job, and then look at the stupid, ugly little mess He made of it instead, His sheer incompetence is almost staggering. It's obvious He never met a payroll. Why, no self-respecting businessman would hire a bungler like Him as even a shipping clerk!"

Lieutenant Scheisskopf's wife: "You'd better not talk that way about Him, honey. He might punish you."

Yossarian: "Isn't He punishing me enough? You know, we mustn't let Him get away with it. Oh, no, we certainly mustn't let Him get away scot free for all the sorrow He's caused us. Someday I'm going to make Him pay. I know when. On the Judgement Day. Yes, that's the day I'll be close enough to reach out and grab that little yokel by His neck and ... "

Lieutenant Scheisskopf's wife: "Stop it! Stop it! Stop it!"

Yossarian: "What the hell are you getting so upset about? I thought you didn't believe in God."

Lieutenant Scheisskopf's wife: "I don't. But the God I don't believe in is a good God, a just God, a merciful God. He's not the mean and stupid God you make Him out to be."

Too funny! I have not read Catch 22 ... but I assume that is where this is from?

That's right, Cosmo - it's a great book, full of gems like that, and some great characters. Laugh out loud funny.

(Here's Major Major Major Major: "He was polite to his elders, who disliked him. Whatever his elders told him to do, he did. They told him to look before he leaped, and he always looked before he leaped. They told him never to put off until the next day what he could do the day before, and he never did. He was told to honor his father and mother, and he honored his father and mother. He was told that he should not kill, and he did not kill, until he got into the Army. Then he was told to kill, and he killed. He turned the other cheek on every occasion and always did unto others exactly as he would have had others do unto him. When he gave to charity, his left hand never knew what his right hand was doing. He never once took the name of the Lord his God in vain, committed adultery or coveted his neighbor's ass. In fact, he loved his neighbor and never even bore false witness against him. Major Major's elders disliked him because he was such a flagrant nonconformist." 8)

Don't know If this has been touched upon yet?

But If I were to pull a string of multi-coloured hankerchiefs from my pocket without informing anyone how they got there, and without the appliance of scientific investigation I would be a diety, would I not?!?

Actually I had no intent of "using my family". I was simply stating what was on my mind with perhaps a blatant lack of diplomacy.

You are right though, I was indeed, pretty much having a "hissy fit", or fit of bad temper, loss of mental clarity, whatever.

Me sorry ... Me ok now :) I should be used to the inextricable polemy that follows my instinctively rebellious style of presenting things.

By Salman Rushdie

"Intelligent design, an idea designed backward so as to force the antique idea of a Creator upon the beauty of creation, is so thoroughly rooted in pseudoscience, so full of false logic, so easy to attack that a little rudeness seems called for.

If religion were a private matter, one could more easily respect its believers' right to seek its comforts and nourishments.

But religion today is big public business, using efficient political organization and cutting-edge information technology to advance its ends. Religions play bare-knuckle rough all the time, while demanding kid-glove treatment in return.

As Evans and Ruse would do well to recognize, atheists such as Dawkins, Miller and Wilson are neither immature nor culpable for taking on such religionists.

They are doing a vital and necessary thing.

Precisely. As long as certain religious groups and their followers comport themselves as over-reaching, belligerent asstards, they will continue to draw considerable heat - in government, in the courts, in the schools... and here.
