Fundamentalism in a Nutshell. Amen
"I am a bit troubled. I believe my son has a girlfriend, because she left a dirty magazine with men in it under his bed. My son is only 16 and I really don't think he's ready to date yet. What's worse is that he's sneaking some girl to his room behind my back. I need help, God! I want my son to stop being so secretive!" Linda, Good news prayer room

"I can sum it all up in three words: Evolution is a lie" JohnR7, Christian forums
------- "[Replying to 'as for not seeing evolution it takes several million years... incase you missed that memo...'] several million years for a monkey to turn into a man. oh wait thats right. monkeys dont live several million years." Queen of the tigers, Gaia
------- ""Make sure your answer uses Scripture, not logic."" cdevidal, CARM
------- "One of the most basic laws in the universe is the Second Law of Thermodynamics. This states that as time goes by, entropy in an environment will increase. Evolution argues differently against a law that is accepted EVERYWHERE BY EVERYONE. Evolution says that we started out simple, and over time became more complex. That just isn't possible: UNLESS there is a giant outside source of energy supplying the Earth with huge amounts of energy. If there were such a source, scientists would certainly know about it." awesomestnerd, SmashBoards
------- "No, everyone is born Christian. Only later in life do people choose to stray from Jesus and worship satan instead. Atheists have the greatest "cover" of all, they insist they believe in no god yet most polls done and the latest research indicates that they are actually a different sect of Muslims." Trinidad and Tobago, CARM

it is the best of all possible worlds
Pangloss gave instruction in metaphysico-theologico-cosmolo-nigology. He proved admirably that there cannot possibly be an effect without a cause and that in this best of all possible worlds the baron’s castle was the most beautiful of all castles and his wife the best of all possible baronesses. —It is clear, said he, that things cannot be otherwise than they are, for since everything is made to serve an end, everything necessarily serves the best end. Observe: noses were made to support spectacles, hence we have spectacles. Legs, as anyone can plainly see, were made to be breeched, and so we have breeches. . . . Consequently, those who say everything is well are uttering mere stupidities; they should say everything is for the best.
....and that is how we all get to sleep at night.

taking to slaughter
so i have the privilege of going to my fathers warehouse everyday in the city of Vernon. Vernon being one of the richest cities in the state because of all the industrial importing, exporting, manufacturing done there. So many huge companies are located there. On days i am on a detour or trying to find food i drive past the 7-UP factory and right past the mother of all black-death slaughterhouses FARMER JOHN. The fucking factory takes up literally one whole city block. Not to mention another half of one that is stricktly for shipping andf recieveing, and another area located a half a mile away and why so far away?, to get rid of and process all of theunwanted parts and waste that is produced, and by waste, i mean "Pig-shit". Believe me it makes the entire area for a square mile smell like, well, "pig shit". Back to the factory, when you drive by FARMER JOHN, it is painted whole way around with a mural, all nice and pleasant. All the happy pigs playing in fields and living the good life among all the redneck country folk. Of course we all know what really happens inside. There is even a little portion on the wall portraying the bad man (who of course is mexican) trying to steal one of the happy pigs and the loving farmer chasing after him. Can you believe that, they make the rescuer look like the villian. Now back to my drive, as i was driving to work yesterday, i came to a stop light and next to me was a farmer john truck. In the back about a hundred or so large white pigs. I reached out and could touch them through the holes in the side of the truck trailer. think about it. I was probably the last loving touch they would receive. I was trying to speak in a calming voice. One stuck its snout out of the holes, and i could tell it could hear me. Then the light changed and the motion startled them. Many tried to get up, and many started squealing as the continued on their way to die. what ggeat drive through Vernon.

Attention All Girls
Have something of insight and substance to say, then maybe guys will treat you like more than something to just have sex with.
Intelligence is so attractive. There is more to life than music, fashion and partying. Open your minds, not your legs.

Why bother telling somebody something if they are just gonna forget it anyway?
I guess for our own piece of mind...to know we tried.

Am I kidding or not?
our actions make us who we are. All the excuses in the world don't change a thing. They don't change your respect you neglected to have for someone. Just because you can make-up rationalizations or justififcations in your head to make yourself feel better doesn't mean that what you did is ok. People are selfish. When you can learn to put peoples happiness ahead of your own, (and we are not just saying one time occasionally) then, and then maybe you can call yourself a good person. I don't care if you say well I had a hard life, or I was poor and I worked hard to get where I am. So what, it doesn't make you special. You can be proud, but it doesn't make you better than anyone else. If you think you are better than anyone else, than you just maybe a lesser person than those you look down upon. It doesn't mean you have any special priveledges for yourself. When you work that hard for somebody else, without your own prosperity in mind, then I will call you special. Yes, I am self righteous, oh well. If you need help decideing what is the right thing to do is, ask me, I'll give you the definitive answer.

self-realization
it is an amazing feeling when something suddenly somes to light. The instant you you make that horrible or wonderful discovery your heart can either stop in agony or start beating with fury and excitement. Some say I have too much time on my hands because all I do is sit around and think. I will spend all day dissecting my feelings and peoples behaviors, with an occasional trip to Mother's Market for tofu scramble and maybe a jacuzzi session at night. But even then I am still thinking. Sometimes I feel like I have the world pretty figured out, then I get depressed or angry. I usually feel like I can figure out most people as well, which is concurrently discouraging. But it is when that one person surprises you, taht throws all of your theories out of wack and that is a good thing, becuase it tells you there is still hope. Lately some people have been surprising me, both in positive and negative ways. Some people have shown me that there are people that can be so unbelievably nice that you are speechless. These peole you want to help, protect, and make thier live better. Others have disappointed me with frustration, to where for the first times in my life I have questioned wether or not I should continue going out of my way for them? I still feel like I should.

I hate this.
I don't know why I am here. The more I look, the more hateful I get toward all of you.
