Talk about ROFLMAO! Read the 2006 Catholic League Report on Anti-Catholicism. I have posted a link in the title to this posting to the part of the report on activists against the Holy Church. I belong to most of the activist organizations listed there. Do you? Kinda makes me really proud to see my efforts so appreciated, and see them all listed out for me each year. Enjoy.Peter Nuhn

It would be really funny if aliens abucted the Pope and then anal probed him.
I think someone has been watching a little too much South Park.
Mexican stinky balls! Titty sprinkles! Donkey boner! Piss out my ass!
Alex,
I had that last week! It’s flu season, you know. Bad stuff, that pissing out your ass. LOL
Ren,
I feel your pain, it took me weeks to get rid of my case of the titty sprinkles.
Alex,
ROFLMAO!
Do you Alex? Do you feel my pain? Did you have blood on your tissue from wiping your titty sprinkles every half hour for three days? Hmmm? HMMM?
I could have filled a gallon jug with the sprinkles being expressed from my titties. Male lactation syndrome is no laughing matter. Erm…actually yes it is.
Why yes. Yes it is.
OT: Have any of you seen this cartoon/graphic?

This says it all! So clever. I love the animation, too.
what
i have to take back calling lincoln and ape the other day. i read in the paper that he wanted to buy the slaves freedom as a way to end the war.now will the media still belittle ron paul for openly wishing that had been the course taken.yes because they support the status quo candidates clinton,obama,mccain.
vote paul lets take this republic back from the oligarchs.
Anti-Catholic activist organizations should set their goals higher. They should set up to attack and dismantle all of the world’s religions, not just catholicism.

Why not just ask if you are confused about my intent?
Christian? Where did that come from? I was sincerely letting you know that I would have once taken your position as a strong atheist. I think I am an even stronger atheist now but a different type of strong.
Huh? Said nothing of the sort.
I am merely asking you to define the words that you are using. That is all. It is my position that if you do you will find that the “Do gawds exist?” question is meaningless.
The greatest harm that theists have done is not in the answering of that question in the affirmative but rather legitimizing the question at all!
Stan: Oh $hit! It’s Jesus!
Cartman: EH! gawddamnit you stepped on my foot you pigfcuker!
Stan: Dude! Dont say pigfcuker in front of Jesus!
What,
I think you’re right that we see eye to eye on the nature of deities. I totally agree with this statement:
One of my biggest problems with Strong Atheism is that it is an open door for semantic arguments, which are lame. If I defined my god to be the Sun, could anyone tell me my god does not exist?
Remember that one of the definitions of God is “One that is worshiped, idealized, or followed.”
Weak Atheism places the burden of proof squarely on the shoulders of the believer. Strong Atheism does not.
Now how did I screw that up? So much for my divinity!
Ren
LOL
I may be a “weak” atheist, but I strongly stand behind this quote:
Civilization will not attain to its perfection until the last stone from the last church falls on the last priest.
Emile Zola
Alatham
Exactly. But most theists, as we here are aware, would not dare give an actual operational definition of “gawd” that would resemble an operational definition of the Sun. Instead they give a non-operational definition of the word “gawds” and then, somewhat aware of the uselessness of their definition in connection with the question, they then fumble about for a new non-operational definition of the word “exist”. What a waste of time!
You people say I’m racist for seeing the world as it is and not as we wish it to be. Watch this recent video and then tell me that Africans aren’t savages:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ra5ix0biIgA
its sad, but it doesn’t really seem to support your claim that all this is a result of the ethnicity of the people involved.
there are too many other factors. these people are steeped in poverty, superstition and misinformation, and a mob mentality. it’s not only africans who have commited atrocities in the heat of war or chronic civil unrest. what about the killing fields of cambodia? the nazi concentration camps? people are capable of terrible things, and the fact that Africa is the only place we see such atrocious conditions today is not proof that that ethnicity is the cause.
We just kill them all from considerable distance and justify it all with the pursuit of imaginary foes. So humane.
Alex
“You people”? Why are so many racist remarks preceded by those words?
Alex,
A bunch of Africans act like savages, therefore Africans are savages??
Ahhhh…are the (African) victims of such savagery, also savages? Are the women and children being slaughtered, also savages?
Do you have any empathy for the people being killed like dogs in the street?? Why should you…they were, after all, African (savages).
Seriously, yours is a really piss poor argument.
Alex,
As an aside – our ancestors were savages (African).
I wonder at what point in our evolutionary history, the “savagery” gene was bred out of the white man? That is, after all, what you are saying isn’t it? That, the actions in the video, are a direct product of the genetic makeup of Africans??
Come on, Goebbles, tell us all about the superiority of your pure bloodline!
Gag.
Danger,
Judging by what I see on the news every night, not to mention the atrocities I witnessed firsthand in the Balkans, I would have to say that whites have perfected the savage gene, not had it bred out of us.
Africans use machetes. Americans use GPS guided ’smart bombs’, and automatic weapon’s fire.
How many humans perished in the European theatre, during WWII because of the Aryan Race? Savages, indeed.
Ren,
Exactly. To be honest, I don’t know why I bother with Alex – he never answers my critisisms of his arguments.
I completely agree with you RE weaponry….if only these “savages” would civilise up and start using GPS bombs and Tomohawk missiles we could then relate to them, and accept them into the fold of “civilised” society.
As an aside, it’s weird how the Nazis adopted the word Aryan isn’t it? I would suspect that if Himmler came across some true Aryans, they would be shuttled off directly to Treblinka, as members of a lower race.
I noticed you mentioned you were stationed in Germany (Frankfurt I presume?). I spent a couple of years in Munich doing a postdoc. Great beer and great cars, but there is something very claustrophobic about German society.
Danger,
I was never stationed IN Frankfurt, but I was within an hrs drive (very fast drive) both times I was stationed there.
I fell in love with and married my wife in Bad Kreuznach, which is South and West of Frankfurt, in Rhineland Pfalz Palatinate.
The second time I was stationed there, was in Friedberg. Due north of Frankfurt, in the state of Hessen. If there are any Elvis fans here, I was stationed at Ray Barracks, where Elvis served in the late fifties.
I traveled extensivly while over there. Only made it to Munchen one time. Got to see the Glockenspiel and all the touristy sights, but the most profound was my tour of Dachau. Arbeit machs frei! I don’t believe in ghosts, but that place was absolutly crawling with them.
Did you ever make it to Salzburg, Austria? That had to be my favorite place, of all the places I traveled to in Europe.
Being a country boy, myself, I can see how you could find Germany to be claustrophobic. But, a country the size of Texas with 80 million citizens… if they had suburbs, there would be no countryside. All in all, I would give it two thumbs up. My wife and I truly loved it over there and would not hesitate to go back. Either to visit or to live.
As far as Alex is concerned; no, I don’t agree with him about his views on race, but I will fight to the death for his right to have them. Even if I do find them to be personally offensive.
RE: weaponry
its a good point actually. what we see in these african conflicts is alot more akin to gang warfare than warfare between or by industrialised countries. warfare seems a lot less civilised when you have to reach out with an assault rifle or a machete to harm your enemy instead of a gps guided missile strike or a stike force of trained soldiers against a sattelite surveiled target.
its a matter of scope, due to a difference in resources.
FlyingWeasel,
I don’t mean to be so blunt, but ALL WAR is uncivilized. The word ’seems’ could only be uttered by someone that has never seen war firsthand, rather from the safety of an easy chair in front of a television set, watching ’smart bombs’ destroy ‘antiseptic’ targets.
My apologies ahead of time if I have offended you, but I spend a great deal of time dealing with the aftermath of ‘civilized war’.
FlyingWeasel,
Please take note of the time stamp on this and my previous post. I am doing better than I have in a long time, but even so, I have been waking up in the middle of the night for about the past month and am unable to get back to sleep. I don’t know wheather to go lay back down, or make a pot of coffee and turn on the news.
I am generally a non-recaller when it comes to dreams, but I know I have been dreaming a lot, lately. I don’t remember the specifics, I just know that I wake up shaken and upset. I guess I should be happy that I have never awoken, screaming, and flailing around for cover. I feel sorry for those soldiers that end up with night terrors. I consider myself lucky that I only have disquieting dreams that I can’t remember.
My apologies again. For all I know, you could be/have been a soldier yourself.
