I try hard to read the holy books to become an invincible force for good, it just hurts so much...
As Jezzy's sister, I want to make it perfectly clear that I knew where it was because it was so screwed up. Not a Christian.
I read the bible a good 30 years ago. I was just an infant and as such, took it on myself to indulge into a frenzy reading and ended up with the seed of doubt embeded in my brain. I guess my parents started to regret that I read the thing in the fir…
I read the bible cover to cover one summer because I'm a masochist -- actually it was to improve my faith by familiarizing myself with the word of god -- obviously it had the opposite effect.
I've also read over the Koran, the Hadith, the Book of M…
If it's overtly Christian, it invariably repels me. But I say the same for any preachy (religions or otherwise) or overtly politicized songs. But subtle (political or spiritual) references don't bother me; it often heightens the poetry and ambience…
I have a very low tolerance for it and would never buy music with religious themes.
I enjoy country-western music but so many artists sing about God and going to church and how great Jesus is, blah-blah-blah. I can tolerate a little of it but too much is just too much.
How very odd. I just caught myself singing 'Oh Come All Ye Faithful', complete with the fiddly bits in the last verse, in a somewhat startlingly high falsetto, while making the coffee in the kitchen.
A little flash back to the 12 year old me. Very…

- About Me
- "Alas," said the mouse, "the world is growing smaller every day. At the beginning it was so big that I was afraid, I kept running and running, and I was glad when at last I saw walls far away to the right and left, but these long walls have narrowed so quickly that I am in the last chamber already, and there in the corner stands the trap that I must run into." "You only need to change your direction," said the cat, and ate it up.

- Thanks for accepting my request. I have to admit that the big red cat pic got my attention initially... "it's a balloooooon intestine" (in case you are familiar with the UCB skit).
Hope to join you on some forums soon.

Dr. Terence Meaden said… - Here is the original parable as devised by Denis Diderot:
“Wandering in a vast forest at night, I have only a faint light to guide me. A stranger appears and says to me: "My friend, you should blow out your candle in order to find your way more clearly." This stranger is a theologian.” Addition to Philosophical Thoughts (c. 1762) Denis Diderot 1713-1784

- A traveller lost in a dark wood has only a candle for illumination. He meets a theologian who says "Blow out your candle and let me guide you". I think this little parable was from Denis Diderot'.

I've been a good doo-bee.
Oh wait I smoked a good doobie...
Uh Oh....WICKERMAN !!!!!!!!!!!!
Dancing Poles????
Not the eyeballs!
No one needs it ... yet how many seem to insist on it.
Honestly, one of them could "rift" all she wants, and neither I nor my wife would be that upset. The other one is a big wimp. She's not likely to make a stink over it. She'll just pray harder. She's good at compartmentalizing that way.
It is true that many people take the path of religion to lead them out of destructive life styles.
It is also true that people can do the same thing without a reliance on faith (you just don't hear about it as much).
You sound like a very nice you…
I thought it was utterly brilliant that he said Abbot's offer of a billion dollars for Hobart hospital was immoral!
His refusal of such a ridiculous bribe iis one of the first moral acts I've ever seen from a politician. Clearly the man will have a…
I've seen posts about the 50 commandments of jeebus put out by xtians that cite chapter and verse and you really don't need a commentary to go along with them.
Boy it sure does kill the whole GOP/Tea Party platform.
I'm telling Miss Julie! . . (Sombody wants a spanking!!).
Seems like you could be in danger of getting more than just your tongue stuck, to a dancing pole at the north pole . . .
