Blake Posted April 25, 2013 Share Posted April 25, 2013 I posted a status: “We have to create culture, don't watch TV, don't read magazines, don't even listen to NPR. Create your own roadshow. The nexus of space and time where you are now is the most immediate sector of your universe, and if you're worrying about Michael Jackson or Bill Clinton or somebody else, then you are dis-empowered, you're giving it all away to icons, icons which are maintained by an electronic media so that you want to dress like X or have lips like Y. This is shit-brained, this kind of thinking. That is all cultural diversion, and what is real is you and your friends and your associations, your highs, your orgasms, your hopes, your plans, your fears. And we are told 'no', we're unimportant, we're peripheral. 'Get a degree, get a job, get a this, get a that.' And then you're a player, you don't want to even play in that game. You want to reclaim your mind and get it out of the hands of the cultural engineers who want to turn you into a half-baked moron consuming all this trash that's being manufactured out of the bones of a dying world.” ~ Terence McKenna My ultra fundy glory train riding born again saintly aunt replied: "He must have been on welfare." *facepalm* I don't think she gets it.

One needs not build a bridge or even look for one, just take your leap of faith. You'll be fine, oh and its a 50' drop. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lilith666 Posted April 28, 2013 Share Posted April 28, 2013 That, plus, "Name Your Favorite Logical Fallacy!" How about the slippery slope argument?

Shia Posted April 28, 2013 Share Posted April 28, 2013 How about this one... "Ask not what ministry can do for you but what you can do for ministry!" Oh yes, I know exactly what I can do for ministry! Volunteer ALL my free time and energy, never say "no" to ANY ministry oppurtunity and ALWAYS support every cause or preacher/missionary with my money (of course after tithing)! Oh and I must do all of this with all my heart because I am serving the Lawd!!! That comment really got to me. Remember the Ministry of Love cares for you.

owen652 Posted April 29, 2013 Share Posted April 29, 2013 "Doing a study on Noah's ark during bedtime study, I actually got out my tape measure to see how tall my ceiling was and at 2.7m the thought of 4.5mtrs/15ft between decks blew me away.. Over double my height.. Interesting facts... Length was about 450ft long, Width 75ft, the height was about 45ft from keel to top. Divided into 3 decks, roughly 15ft per deck.. Allows for a 14-15ft person.. Many scholars believe Noah was a giant and in Turkey they say they have his grave and his body was over 14ft tall.. The longest wooden sailing vessel ever built (Wyoming 1909-1924) was about 351 ft bow to stern hull long(not incl jib booms).. 100ft shorter than the ark that carried the future of mankind. It wasnt till the early 20th century that ships longer than the Ark were built and then made of steel...Thats saying something considering Noah and his family built the Ark on some flat ground not a shipyard of hundreds of builders beside a dockyard... the deeper i dig the cooler the findings become..."

scitsofreaky Posted May 5, 2013 Share Posted May 5, 2013 I'm not gay, and I only know a few people that are (no one I am all that close to), but for some reason I take this personally. Maybe because I'm hetero and married and I don't think this way. IDK. I am about this close to unfriending the majority of my extended family. I'm tired of hearing about this and Obama taking their guns away. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pantophobia Posted May 5, 2013 Share Posted May 5, 2013 Yes, by all means, be proud of being in the privileged majority who hasn't had their civil rights infringed upon. Also, the only people since 1995 who have used the phrase "politically correct" in earnest are the ones bitching that they don't see why they have to be "so politically correct" because they want to be ignorant assholes like this. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HymenaeusAlexander Posted May 6, 2013 Share Posted May 6, 2013 Seriously? I just...I don't even...how...what? What translation of Leviticus is he reading? In 20:9, how is the death penalty being mandated for cursing one’s parents God pleading “love me”? Or in 20:10 when the death penalty is mandated for adultery? How about 20:13 when it’s mandated for male homosexuality? What about 20:18 where excommunication/exile is mandated for having sex with a menstruating woman (both participants)? What about in 20:27 where God says to gather ‘round and throw rocks at someone “who has in them a spirit of the dead or a familiar spirit” (or, you know, is mentally ill) until they suffer so much blunt force trauma and/or blood loss that they die. How is God pleading “love me” in that statute? How about when he says in 21:9 that if a priest’s daughter engages in prostitution, she is to be burned to death? How about stoning for saying “Yahweh” in an inappropriate way in 24:10-16? What about in 25:44-46 where he tells the Israelites they are to buy slaves from the nations which surround them or from foreigners who reside among them and that these slaves are to be perpetual and could be bequeathed to one’s children like other property? How is he pleading “love me” there? Oh wait, I found it. It’s right here in chapter 26 where God is pleading “love me”: 29 You will eat the flesh of your sons and the flesh of your daughters. Yep. That’s it. He’s definitely saying, “love me…or else.” 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scitsofreaky Posted May 11, 2013 Share Posted May 11, 2013 Wow, that's reel 'teligent. I like Luke 11:22 But when someone stronger attacks and overpowers him, he takes away the armor in which the man trusted and divides up his plunder. So, you are safe, unless someone is stronger.

Looks like we all need to get bigger guns! Yep. The first thing I did after I saw this and recovered from laughing was to find the next few verses to see if there was anything else there. When I found verse 22 I laughed even harder. As long as your guns are bigger Jeebus will protect you I guess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
