Damn you and your logical-ness SM.

It seems I am becoming a spruiker for Roy Zimmerman, but the REAL danger isn't Muslims or even militant Hindus.

The truth is revealed here.

...and speaking of India, it's not looking so peaceful today.

ZenGum · 11-27-2008, 07:12 PM

Nonsense. Today is very quiet.

Yesterday, now that was fucked up.

God has placed a desire for himself in every person.

"You have made us for yourself, and our heart is restless until it rests in you" (St. Augustine).

A hole in our soul the shape of which only He/She can fill?

I used fix-a-flat on my soul, now it works just fine.

I don't need to.

Because I don't care what you believe in (not that much, outside of friendly curiosity) and you don't care what I believe.

Is it too early to pass on that my sis-in-law told me that my brother called her to tell her about what was happening in India (one of her employees is from India and it was just breaking news) and she said, totally without thinking "Holy COW!"

She didn't mean it. Eh, er...too early?

That is funny! That's something I say sometimes; I have no idea where I got the saying from, but I have always been aware of the reference.

I guess when someone talks about illegal Mexicans, I ought not to say "Holy Guacamole!"

My son has morphed this into "holy whack-a-moley!"

Pie · 12-03-2008, 03:06 PM

...Like if someone told me about something horrendous that happened in a Christian country, and I said "Jesus Christ!"?

If you think tradition, ceremony, and exhortation to general good acts are the sum total of religion, then there is no reason why everyone can't get along.

.....that'd be the Church of England then? A church founded primarily on tea and scones.

A church founded by a despot who wanted to divorce his wife you mean? lol

That's the one. Seriously though, it's mainly about the tea and scones.

There are some foods I come close to worshiping. But I don't think that'd include tea or scones.
