Moron Boy is smiling because Jesus is INSIDE him right now!  Yes indeed, he is FILLED with the Lord!

Would you buy a used car from this man? I think not…

Well, I might if I were a typical TV Lobotomized Amerikkkan who is shopping for an H2!

Deus, I think the correct word under Dubya speak is “Merkin”, not to be confused with the common noun.  Merkins for Bush.  hehe He might actually need one.

“Merkin”—yep it does roll off the tongue better. It fills me with good KKKristian pride and makes me want to kill sand niggers and drive a monster truck! Praise! Glory!

Thanks!

Leave the poor guy alone. He may be as pleased as a dog with two dicks but he doesn’t know or understand how he got there. Poor schmuck - his daddy understands, Dick Cheney understands, but he sure as hell doesn’t.

He’s a puppet of the truly powerful.

Well, yeah, its obvious that he is just a lucky little boy born into the right family. And was a little less pigish looking than his brother, and simple enough to be a good puppet-bitch.

I’m sure they make sure he *thinks* he is in charge, and making all the decisions.

“Boss”, Condi says, “our choices either are to bow before the French’s demands, lubing ourselves up and squeeling with glee as their secular feet stomp on our freedoms . . . or we could send a strong message and deny them this export right”.  “What do you want to do sir, the decision is all yours (chuckling behind her hand)”.

Yep, HE makes the decisions!

Deus ex Fildo,

I don’t know why you go by the name “Deus ex Dildo” and have a symbol showing the crucifix transformed into a dildo. Do you not realise that this could be very offensive to Christian and other religious readers of this site ?

I support your ability and freedom to do this but if you are trying to get support for your views then I won’t be betting my mortgage on you.

I have always taken a sympathetic view of Christians and religious people. My own Mom and Dad are very religious, moral and well meaning people. I would not wish to offend them. I don’t even want to re-educate them, but simply to communicate my views to like-minded people on this site.

Please, drop the offensive stuff. You don’t need to do that. It helps no-one.

BelfastBOY --- its a real object, for sale on the web. I didn’t make it up.

2/3rds of humanity are NOT Christian, and among that 1/3rd that are . . . most don’t think the OTHERS are “legitimate” Christians (Catholics vs. Mormons vs. Pentacostals vs. Baptists . . . etc).

Anyways, I’d be happy not to offend them - if they would equally not offend ME by pushing their idiotic superstitious tripe at me through laws, media, policy’s, debates, favoritism . . . etc.

So, tell them to stop offending me—I’ll stop offending them. Keep their damn superstition off my laws, body, money, etc . . . and I’ll stop. Deal?

Meanwhile, I know I’m accomplishing nothing - but its enjoyable and cathartic to me. So as our great leader Dick Cheney said to Pat Leahy on the Senate floor “Go ---- --------”

xxoo,

“Religions come and go, beer and wine remain” - ?

OK Deus, I take your point. I too went through a phase of being extremely angry at people shoving their beliefs down my throat. I come from Northern Ireland which is one of the religious hot-spots of the world - a load of people killing each other and arguing over which end of the egg to crack open. My gravatar shows a 10 year old boy getting ready to throw a petrol bomb (I’m not glorifying it, I’m showing the disgusting things that can happen when religion is mixed with tribalism).

I also know that the people who adopt religions are very often operating from (in a spectrum of good to bad): love of their fellow beings, doing what they have been told to do, fear of not believing, cynically exploiting those who do believe.

The first 3 groups are ok to me - I wish them no harm - I can co-exist with them. The last group is evil, whether measured on the religious scale, the humanist scale or the evolutionary scale. It is them I take my fight with - and I suspect you do too.

However, like all freedom fighters and searchers for the truth, we have to be above the tactics used by the cynically religious. We have to show that morals can exist without a God. Those morals encompass sympathy and love for those that do not share our view.

I’m asking you politely not to give ammunition to the religious cynics, who could point to this thread and say that atheists are offensive.

We must measure our responses with reason and undertanding, no matter how much the ‘other side’ offend us.

We must measure our responses with reason and undertanding, no matter how much the ‘other side’ offend us.

So we should turn the other cheek?

You and I share much common ground.  Unfortunately, its pretty clear that the Christian-Taliban have won in the USA. They have pretty much absolute power, and a new dark-ages are pretty clearly on the horizon for the USA.

I work on the local political level and others to try and STOP this from happening, I’m not resting on my laurels. But it even a brief perusal of the historical precident for the downfalls of various empires shows little chance of escape.

Really, for the sake of the rest of the world - the USA does need to go down. Or at least cut back radically on its consumption and outsourcing of horror.  And I dont say that lightly. I’m a mom, with two young children I love more than myself. We have a good, fun and comfortable life - for selfish reasons I’d love for our current run to continue!  But it looks fairly unlikely.

So, I vent online - its not quite to the point where the Ministry of Homeland Security will haul us off for it, but that may be in the cards.

And sorry, the USA ego dictates that we cannot go softly into the night like the USSR and just break up and reform. We are either #1 or we’ll go out in a ball of fire and take you with us!  Again, sorry!

Evangelical morality seems to focus almost exclusively on what one does with one’s penis, so Deaux Ex Dildo’s icon seems appropriate.

Yes, it will offend some people.  Taking offense means “I can’t separate you from me.” One of the most wonderful discoveries of my life was that it is possible to detatch oneself from the actions of others - not take everything personally.

Anyway, Christianity seems a religion badly in need of sexual healing if that makes any sense.  Maybe crucifix dildoes would help them make the connection.

Yeah - its a mythology that has never been clear about sexual matters, so they tend to get wrapped up in guilt and fear, never quite sure where the lines of “right” or “wrong” are.  It also means that when they rebel against it, there seems to always be a particular sick or twisted angle to it - often involving suffering, bondage and/or disdain. This factor gets amplified with the degree of their fundamentalism/repression.

Deus Ex, I dont know that you can go so far:

Unfortunately, its pretty clear that the Christian-Taliban have won in the USA. They have pretty much absolute power, and a new dark-ages are pretty clearly on the horizon for the USA.

I agree that while most of the world is getting some what better about being religious I dont think that “merika” is going to fall into a second dark ages. If america was dumb enough to, after hypothetically becoming a religious tyranny, attack/convert other countries I think that america would end up with no trade with the rest of the world. Which might end up killing the already teetering economy. If that happened I suppose they would truly end up lving in a second dark ages, along with all the comforts of living in wooden huts built in ten inches of shit mixed with mud. In which case I think most coutries enjoying all the comforts of technology(and trade) would end up feeling dorry for the religious whack jobs who would end up believing that by living in poverty they would be getting closer to god. Hey, if that happened, I, too, would feel sorry for them, wasting their lives in a beliefe with no supporting evidence.

Cheers BunBun

Typo…

I agree that, while most of the world is getting some what better about being religious(insert here “, america is getting worse; however, “) I dont think that “merikaâ€? is going to fall into a second dark ages.

That last post was filled with typos...sorry.

Warning: Economics rambling ------

The US Economy is toast.  Iraq isn’t just about oil, its about economics. The rest of the world carries our rediculous debt because the dollar is the international trading standard. When Botswana wants to buy a barrel of oil from Saudi Arabia . . . they pay in U.S. dollars.

And in 2000 - Saddam decided to change to the Euro. Boom, invasion plans hit the table—9/11 gave a great excuse.

But the Yen, the Euro—one of them WILL take over eventually, the rest of the world will stop carrying our amazing debt. And we are screwed.

Look at Treasury department figures, historical debt/income/savings/expense charts from previous national economic systems that have tanked.

Here is a place with a bunch collected:  http://mwhodges.home.att.net/hodges.htm

Our military is the gun to the rest of the worlds head. Maybe that will last forever? Maybe not.  Regardless, doesn’t seem the most moral way of staying afloat!

With all due respect, BelfastBoy, the name of my blog is Stupid Evil Bastard and the tag line is “What the fuck is wrong with you people?” I rant regularly about Christians who act in a most unChrist-like manner. I’m pretty sure anyone who’s likely to be offended by Deus’s nom de plume and avatar have probably already moved on by now. It’s not like this is a particularly PC, non-offensive site to begin with.

I’m not above being an antagonist on occasion myself. Sometimes it’s the only thing that keeps me sane and lets folks know how irritated I am with them. It’s childish and ineffective, but what’s the point of being an adult if you can’t act childish every now and then?

I dont think that “merika� is going to fall into a second dark ages.

Cool! So, America will continue into eternity?!  Disaster cannot strike HERE!  And you will never die!

The average age of an empires existance is 200-300 years. We are right in there.

Do I WANT this to happen? Hell no, I have kids, I have a pretty damn good life! Do I hope that we do continue on into happy, fluffy, never-ending bliss - USA FOREVER!

But, you know - house fires are VERY rare. Do you have fire insurance?

Justr wanna point out..."your military”. I’m a brit living in “merika”.

Cheers BunBun

“your militaryâ€?. I’m a brit living in “merikaâ€?

Ah, then you guys are going down with us.  So, since we follow similar destiny’s, perhaps both the British and American militarys are “OUR military”?

Cool! So, America will continue into eternity?!  Disaster cannot strike HERE!  And you will never die!

Sure america will go eventually. But something will take it’s place. Hopefully multiple liberal countries. I think one of the problems with america is its sheer size. One government simply cannot control such a vast area of land and different groupes of people and make evry one happy. If america was, say… three, countries instead of one I have a feeling many of the problems america runs into would not be so problematic. Such as players in school. If you dont like the policy in one of the smaller countries then pick up and drive a little to the country bordering you. Not to mention it would be easier for the government to make every one happy because there would be less points of view.

Cheers BunBun

God damn it. Another typo...players becomes prayers. Or how every you spell the plural of what people send to god in the vain hope that something miraculious will happen. Sorry ‘bout the typo.

Cheers BunBun

PS I really have a hard time spelling/typing. For future referance if a word does not fit in just play with it a bit until it does. That could(and probably will) be the problem.

Ah, then you guys are going down with us.  wink So, since we follow similar destiny’s, perhaps both the British and American militarys are “OUR militaryâ€??

Dont shatter my bubble of protection. Its hard enough being in america. My only real consolation is that I am not what every one makes fun outside of america. Lol.
England has its onw problems, too. But I think the big difference is how much people make fun of them. I think america’s sense of humor is more about silly things however england had the ability to laugh at itself. At least thats the impresion I got. I may be wrong though.

I quite agree about this, as a hope at least. Unfortunately I think Brand USA has too powerful of an ego now, is too used to massive of consumption, and is too heavily armed (most households have a semi-automatic weapon—equivalant in lethality even in an amateurs hands to several soldiers 500 years ago) to be anything but #1 (though, what we are now #1 at is pretty much only self-promotion and weapons these days).

It would be an elegant solution, to break into smaller nation-states. You could have redneck/cowboy/gambling/boozing country (the SW), Tech-Yuppie/Granola Empire (the NW), New England could be a liberal mecca, and the South could bring back slavery and such! We could use a common currancy like the Euro but still have distinct boarders and personalitys. It would be great!
