Hey.. maybe it was Jesus...?

If He does decide to come back now, nobody would believe it was him. He'd probably would end up sectioned in a mental hospital.

Wow! I feel like I just had an epiphany! Of course!

I just wonder how this is going to work w/ the in-laws at Thanksgiving and Christmas. Guess I'm gonna have to get used to becoming an impolite guest and perfect my right hook. Seriously.

Just pointing out Crazy Talk isn't enough. You need an "Enforcer" who can grab the Crazy Talker by the scruff, sit his ass down and stuff a sock in his mouth. Otherwise you'll get crucified.

Glad that Pastor Dave makes his voice heard. Not all of us religious folk are "the enemy." ;)

OK - this is not precisely related, and I want to make clear that I'm not making fun of anyone at all. But. This. Is. FUNNY!

Besides reading the whole link, there's a link IN the link. Follow it. Please. Yes - even you, Bob.

Crud. It occurs to me that there is not one, but three links in the opening post... which probably undoes the joke. :( Anyway, here's the link in the link that I was trying to point to: http://www.amptoons.com/blog/archives/2008/11/13/the-hand-scanner-of-the-beast/

I suppose that with some people it's impossible to argue politics in any coherent fashion. It's like dealing with a schizophrenic in the throes of a delusional episode.

No amount of rational discourse will persuade a schizo (with all due respect to people who genuinely suffer from this disabling illness) that gas isn't being pumped into their bedroom (see Cronenberg's "Spider" http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=erbqz4wZqUw) or that the "mark of the beast" isn't being imprinted upon their nervous hands.

It's probably better just to leave them alone while protecting them from harming themselves and others and hope that the ever-unfolding events and changing circumstances of our world can bring them around to a little bit of sanity. Just a thought.

Ignorance can be cured with education; economic, social and political insanity abolished with revolution.

My fiance and I were discussing the fact that there is supposed to "separation between church and state" only now religion and politics seem to be one in the same.

Sad.

And entirely inappropriate.
