  • Pechorin · 12 months ago
    How about Little Georgie Bush saying god told him to invade Iraq? That retard should have been led away in a straight jacket then and there.

    And then there's K Lo who wrote this morning about National Review Online:

    Investing in NRO: From a $100 Donor [Kathryn Jean Lopez]

    "My husband & I couldn't imagine life without NRO. He especially appreciates John Derbyshire's 'Radio Derb' and I — well, I ADORE Mark Steyn! And then there's Jonah, and Rich, and Ramesh, and all the rest of the group doing the Lord's work day after day. Thank you!"

    OMG....they're doing the Lord's work ??!!

    I didn't know God was a bigot.

    It's such an odd thing... once you get Derbyshire off the topics of politics, he drops the fire breathing stupid act and is really quite good. His book, "Prime Obsession: Bernhard Riemann and the Greatest Unsolved Problem in Mathematics"

    is the best science popularization of the Riemann Hypothesis I've ever read. The book is not a mathematics text, it is targeted to those with a casual interest and does an outstanding job of explaining what the Riemann Hypothesis is, the history and people behind it, and why it is so important.

    God told me where to stop for coffee.

    God said she wasn't driving right

    Judging from the way the people with fish on their cars handle their vehicles, God is hardly in a position to criticize...

    Eight years ago, everybody would have thought "what a nut."

    Now, because so many people claim to be getting messages from God, everybody has to think about it before they pass judgment.

    We've really turned into a nation of fundamentalist loonies.

    Interesting. God, while speaking in the form of magic underpants on a cactus in the Utah high desert, told me this would happen. I am a lttle freaked out right now.

    You know how to stop them from attacking you and calling you a bigot?

    Get them before they get you.

    Whip them so badly that they will think at least twice before even THINKING about calling you a bigot and/or shoving their religion down your throat.

    Do whatever you have to in order to get the point across.

    If that sounds like I'm a nasty SOB, then so be it. I'm fast approaching "old fart" status. Which means I don't give a you-know-what.
  • sparrow · 12 months ago
    I've never heard the voice God speaking directly to me. Guess I'm on his shit list. Then again, maybe not. My wife all too frequently tells me that I don't listen.

    I didn't know that good ol' Gawd was into playing "Highway Pinball".

    I guess you can only part the Red Sea so many times before you get bored and have to find a new hobby.

    It's not.

    God's a busy little elf, isn't he?
  • green_libertarian · 12 months ago
    Only time I've heard from god was when I was hugging the great white porcelain telephone...
  • tlsintx · 12 months ago
    wonder if God gets sick of all the shit done in her name?
  • Jeremy in Denver · 12 months ago
    Actually....eh, I read this, and the first thing that crossed my mind?

    "And...o/`They're coming to take me away, haha, they're coming to take me away!o/`"

    I promptly washed that screwed-ass-up song out of my head with a little mental bleach in the form of Rina Aiuchi's Navy Blue....

    In my state's high school football championship the coach of the winning school said God helped his team win. Funny thing was that his school was a Catholic High School and so was the opponents. I guess God decided one catholic school was more devote than the other. I don't think God really cares what teams win in sports.
  • offspring · 12 months ago
    ok a guy says god told him to run a person off the road and it is easy for anyone to see he is crazy but when you have millions who say god tells them to fight kill people, hate gays, punish and so on we call it religon
  • shell · 12 months ago
    Great point. Is most of America retarded? I would say the vast majority see nothing wrong/unusual with the comments from football coaches, as you cited. You see it all the time. They don't get the connection. I always wondered why the usual comments from those who survive everything from a natural disaster to cancer saying, "I thank GOD for this miracle!" So, the people who DIE of a tornado or cancer are not worthy of God's "miracle?"

    "Mormons and their religious right buddies have made an entire industry out of using God to justify their bashing of blacks and Jews and gays"

    You are on the right track here, but there is more.

    You forgot:

    1. Women
    2. Native Americans
    3. Drunk People (god says its OK to for Nephi to kill a drunk man in the book of mormon, in fact not just OK, he orders him to do it!)
    4. People who don't believe in mormonism. (they tend to get killed bu the mormon Jesus)
    5. Christians, especially Catholics who are the whore of bablyon. But all Christians are an, according to mormons, "abomination unto god."
    6. The San Diego Chargers






    ok i made that last one up, but I think I may be on to something - how could a team that talented be 4-8?

    All mormons need a psych examination!
  • Jack Hughes · 11 months ago
    How do you distinguish that idiot's belief in God from your own?


    You can't. Belief in God is a delusion.
  • Glenn I · 11 months ago
    No doubt he did it with Love, pure Mormon-type, Catholic-brand Love, the same Love they share with our friends the faith-based Terrorists. Plenty of Love to go around hurting people with!

    Wow, God drivin in a pickup truck, in Texas. That tells you all you need to know about the safety of the other drivers. Of course, I bet the commie-chick had one of them Obamer stickers on her car too, or maybe one of those leftie "Have you hugged your Cat today' signs. 20 bucks says he won't get his gun permit taken away.

    Delusional people should not be allowed to operate heavy machinery.
    Believing in gods a delusional act.
