They follow it because their leaders are bullies who say they speak for their God.<BR/><BR/>As if.<BR/><BR/>And these right wing jihadists dare call liberals "surrender monkeys"? Without good people surrendering their time and money to these bullies, they would be lost, not the other way around.<BR/><BR/>If you are Xtian and correct, there will, literally, be hell for non-believers to pay.<BR/>If you are Xtian and WRONG?<BR/>And have drawn the easily mislead into your wrongness? Have enabled the bullies to use your proxy for their own purposes?<BR/><BR/>Belief is a very personal thing. Fellowship is something unrelated to belief. Freedom and democracy are both the antithesis and cure.<BR/><BR/>Happy Easter Blue Gal. Whatever pleases you, tickles me plum to death.Rehctawhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07995444077162800445noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8983386.post-60122959520107513272009-04-10T10:31:00.000-05:002009-04-10T10:31:00.000-05:00I believe the timing is justified.

It will be interesting to see the variety of Fox"News" programing this weekend.aironlaterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17870971883454679428noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8983386.post-7444299280090367242009-04-10T05:21:00.000-05:002009-04-10T05:21:00.000-05:00Hi ya!

I've posted but can't figure out the html thingy, so can't add it to the carnival site ; (<BR/><BR/>Not savvy in that dept, although I did try for about 20 minutes to find and figure out.<BR/><BR/>Cheers!Coffee Messiahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16908162048706236634noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8983386.post-85108362251968664382009-04-10T05:09:00.000-05:002009-04-10T05:09:00.000-05:00I'm not sure if I'll go over to Tengrain's place t...I'm not sure if I'll go over to Tengrain's place this weekend or not. Not because I don't like Tengrain; quite the opposite. They are an extremely talented writer whom I would do well to emulate.<BR/><BR/>It's MY beliefs. I call this coming weekend Rabbit Sunday. I don't believe in God at all, and this voodoo stuff being peddled so furiously for one weekend, makes me moan in despair.<BR/><BR/>I'm not a registered Atheist or a registered anything. I simply break out in bitter laughter at the thought that these two wars. all the dead, this economic bombing of innocent people, many of whom are now homeless and jobless. is <I>"God's Will."</I> So's the dirt and oder that will accumulate on my body over the next month, so I can assume he'll remove it when it's <I>"God's Will".</I> Therefore I can do away with soap, water, and regular bathing.<BR/><BR/>Thus is the mind boggling ignorance of all organized religion.<BR/><BR/>Like Utah Savage, I don't set out to offend, but as soon as I speak my (dramatically) different views on this, Rabbit Sunday, the most farce filled of all days, I am attacked because my ideas don't conform.<BR/><BR/>Those people can kiss my.... chocolate rabbit.:) I've lurked here for some time; this post brought me out of the woods.<BR/><BR/>Without a doubt, this comment is not the path to fame and glory....but then I never wanted either of those. All I've ever wanted was to say exactly what I think, damn the torpedoes!<BR/><BR/>Thank You for giving me that opportunity.The Future Was Yesterdayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06515544130113138363noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8983386.post-90643364890668265302009-04-09T22:39:00.000-05:002009-04-09T22:39:00.000-05:00I have my Blog Against Theocracy written.

I invite everyone who wants to live in a theocracy to move here. I do not set out to offend, though I am bound to do so. I hardly need an excuse like a Blogswarm to get uppity about the patriarchy that is religious fundamentalism. It seems to lean very right wingy, so that gives me the pleasure of skewering at least one republican crackpot. I can hardly wait.Utah Savagehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16385093247915560752noreply@blogger.com
