Hey, Chris. Chris Steller. Yeah, you. Be veeeery quiet. I have a question, and I have a hunch you don’t want anyone to hear me ask. Right?
When you write stuff like…:
In his inaugural invocation today, the Rev. Rick Warren was subtle about shaming gay-rights protesters but explicit about his Christianity, calling on Jesus by name not once but four times, in four different languages associated with three world religions.
…you do realize that that’s what an invocation IS, right? A whooooole lotta God-talk, and generally very little “sexual orientation”talk? I mean, that’s been kinda the norm. But you knew that. Right?
Just curious.
I dunno; I think that most invocations at Presidential inaugurations that I’ve heard have been curiously vague about what deity was being invoked, and Warren appears to have broken with that tradition.
That said, unless he asked, by name, for the blessing of the Flying Spaghetti Monster’s same-sex partner, Prosciutto, it was a done deal that Stellar, Andy Birkey and all would be cheesed off at Warren.
A Christian pastor mentioning Jesus by name? In PUBLIC? The horror. This wouldn’t have happened if Obama had picked a not-so-Jesus oriented fellow. Like Gene Robinson.
What a dumbass.
Jesus told me he would have voted for Obama and that he hates you evil wingnuts- you’ll all be cast into a lake of fire for eternity. So good luck with that!
That’s funny. Jesus told me he hates clowns. What a predicament.
He said he wont damn them if they’ll just repent of the greasepaint and lose the squirting flower.
Steller, and the rest of the country, missed the Episcopal Bishop of booty rockin’, V.Gene Robinson, who promised “I will be careful not to be especially Christian in my prayer”, because, um, they forgot to include him in the televised portion of the big shoe.
I guess he expected Warren to take up the slack…maybe with a big Broadway musical production or something, I dunno.
I don’t get what everyone’s complaining about.
Using the Hebrew and Arabic translations of Jesus’s name totally includes Jews and Muslims in the occasion.
I don’t know what those “non-believers” Obama was on about would want.
Maybe use Jesus’s ASL translation.

Think you’re wrong about that Kerm.

Awww AC’s hallucinating again…there, there! *pats head*
He told me to refer you to Matthew 25, but then again, I suppose he really said you all are mustard seeds cast upon stone, e.g. the Phairisee complaining about abortion while having no regard for the born.
Perhaps you guys really are just aetheists in disguise? No, that’s not possible, aetheists are usually much more logical – but then again, Mitch claims he has proof of God’s existence, and that aetheists are acting on faith alone because they can’t disprove God… so I suppose the logic part is true, but it means that Mitch (et.al.) are merely a different type of proof-requiring sort – albeit disproof of negatives. For a relatively more educated set of people, you all sure do enjoy engaging in self-deceptive circularity, which while not intentionally clownish, probably damns you with all the other clowns.
BTW – in the passage that reads “So it is written, ‘He who gathered much, did not gather too much” – how does the idea of too much jibe with your belief set? I don’t think you all embrace the idea that someone could possibly gather too much – so I’m not sure how you can reconcile yourself to the fundamental message behind it.
Slash – what does it say in John about the uncircumsised but righteous gentiles as opposed to the circumsised? Is it not that idea which included, say, all of humanity in Christianity’s evangelism? And oh, are you now saying that Christ was excluding Jews in his message?
Hearing you righties talk about religion is always a lark. You rarely seem to ‘get it’, but you sure do like to preach.
And the Lord said, “Banneth the Peev, for he hath violated the topic many countleth times, and has proven himself to be a moron beyond rational measure.”
And it came to pass, the Peev, being the illogical, droning dumbath that he is, was banned from the Garden of Mitch, and the Garden’s other inhabitants, free from the incessant nonsense, frollicked and gamboled about the digital paradise amongst the Satyrs and unicorns set forth from Gitmo by the Great Obama.
oh yay! *does a little dance* Penny hasn’t been banned! It’s just so damn entertaining! And he’s such a glutton for punishment 😛
Say, Peevee? Why are you concerned with the state of Slash’s foreskin?
We’re used to your train of thought banging around like a pinball, but this is getting kind of creepy, little guy.
If Peevee gets his financial and economic news directly from the top names in the field, and he knows all the high rollers personally, do you think that he believes he has a direct line to the Almighty open in his head?
Is that where you “get it” Peevee?…You hearing voices?
> Slash – what does it say in John about the uncircumsised but righteous gentiles as opposed to the circumsised?
I asked a Jewish friend of mine, and he didn’t know, because there’s nothing in his Bible written by John and nothing about Jesus under any translation of his name.
Lousy un-inclusive Jewish Bible.

PENIGMA,
Mitch claims he has proof of God’s existence
Where did I say that?
Cough it up NOW.
You are a liar.
Matt. 25? Are you talking about the parable of the talents, peev? Are you saying we should all invest in the stock market?
Peev probably meant Mitch Miller. Yeah, that’s it.
Where did I say that?
Cough it up NOW.
You are a liar.
This is the point where Peev scurries away with his tail tucked between his legs.
Peev should cough up his support for that statement as soon as Mitch retracts the post about that massive anti-shoe demonstration in Michigan.
Yeah, AC, because they’re TOTALLY the same thing.
Peev should cough up his support for that statement as soon as Mitch retracts the post about that massive anti-shoe demonstration in Michigan.
Except Mitch wasn’t the one who wrote it. Man, mangy clown, you’re off your game today.
Nope. He just published and expanded on it. And opted not to correct when it was shown to be false.
I suggest peev go to michigan immediately to report on Shoe-gate. Then it’s off to Baghdad & Berkeley for an in depth investigation of Islamic fascism and Bush Derangement Syndrome. It would be nice if he would round up his tour as correspondent by doing a long term study of the effects of global warming on the Antarctic ice shelf.
when it was shown to be false.
When was that, exactly?
Try to keep up, BradC.
It’s actually sweet how the Clown comes to the defense of Peev. Sorta like Ratso Rizzo stepping into the breach for Fredo Corleone.
I was thinking more along the lines of Beavis and Butthead, m’self. Except without the devastating wit, in AC’s case; Peev’s the equal of Beavis, any day.
I remember a lot of blathering from angryclown and a couple other losers about how it can’t be true, but nothing approaching proof. However, their standard of “proof” seems pretty low on topics they want to believe, so it may be that angryclown thinks they talked it into “beyond a shadow of a doubt” territory. *shrug*
Think you’re wrong about that Kerm.
No, Godspell is living proof God hates clowns. And hippies.
Angryclown was just kidding, Kerm. Hippies are loathsome.
Yeah, thanks for the Day By Day earworm. May your next subway ride be blessed by a large family of immigrants with limited knowledge of basic hygiene.
I feel bad about that. Let me help you out, Kerm:
it’s a world of laughter, a world or tears
it’s a world of hopes, its a world of fear
there’s so much that we share
that it’s time we’re aware
it’s a small world after all
CHORUS:
it’s a small world after all
it’s a small world after all
it’s a small world after all
it’s a small, small world
By the way, what’s wrong with “Day by Day”? I guess you just hate Jesus.
A mighty fortress is our God;
A bulwark never failing.
Our helper here amidst the flood;
Of mortal ills prevailing.
This is the day, this is the day,
That the Lord has made, that the Lord has made.
I will rejoice, I will rejoice
And be glad in it, and be glad in it.
Put your hand in the hand of the man who stilled the water….
Someone’s praying, Lord, kumbaya
Someone’s praying, Lord, kumbaya
Someone’s praying, Lord, kumbaya
O Lord, kumbaya
She was a girl from birmingham
She just had an abortion
She was a case of insanity
Her name was pauline she lived in a tree
She was a no one who killed her baby
She sent her letters from the country
She was an animal she was a bloody disgrase
Amen.
I think the lefties are just pissed off that Warren dared to say It all belongs to GOD, rather than it all belongs to the government. It kind of puts a damper on the collectivists motives.
BTW AC, you’ve made it clear you do not believe in Jesus, so I’m guessing the voice you heard was the other vagrant you shared a park bench with last night.
