Yep. Just not Busey, Roarke, Travolta, Norris, Mimi rogers, Brando, E.Taylor, Olivier...that vein.

That reminds me of Mimi's complaint that the unicorn was humping the dolphin in an anatomically impossible way.

seriously? a space battleship needs a takeoff strip to fly? What's next, flapping wings in space?

As the person who wrote the description, let me assure you that you have interpreted the "they" incorrectly.

I meant crazy fundamentalists who have a deep need to control the world. Regardless of what religion.

I copied the wiki article and pointed out that this sentence was a deep relief to me: Although many authors have described such influence (particularly of Reconstructionism),full adherents to Reconstructionism are few and marginalized among conservative Christians.

So there is my proof that this is what I meant.

I am also not an atheist. I believe there are things we can't possibly understand with our puny restricted human brains. I respect the personal choices of individuals -- I would never argue someone out of their personal experience of the divine.

What I don't like is when someone uses their personal experience as an excuse to control others, to define "morality" for others. This guy. Mormons working tirelessly on Prop 8. Parents trying to keep any mention of homosexuality out of schools, which perpetuates the bullying and the shaming. edit - And of course when the Bible is used to trump science. That gives me the screaming mimis.

And I believe that when atheists attack someone's belief as irrational, it is no different than a Christian attempting to force their worldview on the atheist. I think atheists take their justifiable anger at Christians attempting to -- and succeeding at -- controlling others through shame, laws, wars and go too far with it -- I don't believe it is necessary to talk someone out of their personal religious experience, IF IF IF that personal religious experience isn't affecting the atheist in any way. I think atheists need to learn to let folks be, and focus on facts -- overturning Prop 8, booting fundamentalist School Board members out.

Them there's my two cents. Sorry you have felt beat up here. The Sift is a great place, with some really really REALLY smart and funny people. Including some, in my opinion, angry atheists. It is part of the Sift's charm, if you can treat it like entertainment.

From that link:

LGBT Activists in Uganda point to a virulently anti-gay March 2009 conference 2009 put on by three American Evangelical activists for inciting the latest round of violence and intimidation against the local LGBT community. Among the three were Holocaust revisionist Scott Lively, Exodus International board member Don Schmierer, and International Healing Foundation’s Caleb Lee Brundidge, who is a protege of ex-gay advocate Richard Cohen. Lively, who blamed gay men for the rise of Nazism and the Rwandan genocide, proudly declared his talk as being a “nuclear bomb” against LGBT advocacy in Africa. (You can read about all of the events of 2009 and early 2010 here.)
So atheists have no problem using these fringe kooks as representatives of true Christendom, but get insulted when it's pointed out 20th century mass murderers were all leaders of communist regimes? Death toll: 100 million and counting


The whole thread was created under that presumption. "I am flabbergasted. I keep thinking they can't go any more off the deep end." They as in all Christians. As in all Christians are kooks. I don't know if this site is just pro-atheist but there is a definite undertone of intolerance and bigotry here against Christians. What happened to civil discourse? Oh yeah, this is the internet. Nevermind.

life is a bullshit symphony you get forced into performing in, and along the way your music coincides with other fucktards music. Those fucktards, as well and the original problem of being forced. really make shit, shitty.

So life's a...swirley?

If I may, my friend...there is a book recommended to me and read by me almost 40 years ago you might enjoy. It is an hilarious and bitingly intelligent work by a Richard Farina, who was Mimi Baez's husband and Joan Baez's brother in law, named Been Down So Long It Looks Like Up To Me. The protagonist is one Gnosis Papadapolis.

BTW, it goes well with beer and whatnot.

^Portuguese for "Mimi and Apolo, The struggle for food"

I was reading the Wiki on Hitler and I found something very very funny-

"...He had a fiancée, Mimi Reiter in the 1920s, and later had a mistress, Eva Braun. He had a close bond with his half-niece Geli Raubal...[92] All three women attempted suicide during their relationship with him, a fact which has led to speculation that Hitler may have had unusual sexual fetishes, such as urolagnia, as was claimed by Otto Strasser..."

(He was into watersports...who knew?)

I find it embarrassing that this guy was a Presidential Candidate, but that is neither here nor there...

I swear this show had some of the best writing... Some of my faves:

(Drew arrives at home to find Lewis and Oswald in his backyard)

Drew: Hey fellas! Guess what? It's Friday and I just got paid! (Looks at his check) Aw, damn it. Payroll misspelled my name again! Drew Fairy! Last week it was Screw Carey...
Lewis: (looking over his shoulder at his check) Whoa! Looks like every week it's screw Carey!

and...

(On Drew's learning that his ex-girlfriend was getting married)
Mimi: Drew, look into my eyes and tell me you don't feel like crying.
Drew: There's not a man alive who could pass that test, Mimi.

lol.. Mimi! i like that he called her pig.. like she always calls Drew.

Hoooray!!!! That's teen spirtualistic metagnosticism!!
