And I'm FEELIN' GOOD!!! WHOOO!!!

Now, my topic: "The mis-use of the term "CHURCH" and misc. ramblings...

I've been watching the unfolding of Nancy-the-cunt's assult on the Church at-large as she bristles against them in her first month of gavel-pounding. And I sneer at her and laugh at how foolish her arguments are, BUT! I keep looking for ways to disagree with her over-arching premise about reigning in these 501c3 corps that pose as "houses of God" and offer up such an immeasurably-small amount of "good works" onto the community that it's a percentage of total earnings it can't even be tracked!

I watch the Joel Olstiens and thousands of plastic-men carrying freshly bound-Bibles bilking the fool-hearty-yet sincere sheeple out of BILLIONS while flying around the country in private-jets to polish the gold-grills on eachothers RollsRoyces and spiritually "69" eachother in a self-rightous, mutual exchange of declared "Holyness" of eachothers actions!!

AND IT MAKES ME SO FUCKING SICK I PUKE UP MY GOOD BOOZE! (Long before I get drunk enought to not give a damn about the market whoring that these fake men of God/false prophet's-for-profit are doing to the TRUTH!!)

I might loath Nancy, Gore, Clinton, Obama, but I also see them as the "Philestine army re-born" to smote the Church-gone-wild as it masturbates on stage and on TV in front of an audiance of non-believers and virtually INSURES that any sane, free-thinking person wouldn't want to be a part of ANY religion so evil and self-consuming in it's lust for wealth!!! THEY TURN OFF FAR MORE PEOPLE THAN THEY TURN ON WITH THIS SHIT!!

Go Gore! Go Nancy!, Go Hillary, and I'll even say Go Obama!! Christian's have brought the wrath of God upon themselves with the forgetting of their "first-love" and the persute of their lusts as they re-package eastern-mystic phlosophy with a cheap veneer of Biblical one-liners re-purposing the Gospel to into a FUCKING PONZI SCHEME!!!!

(Yes, I'm all drunk and pissed off!! And I own guns!! LMFAO!!!)


(This would all be a lot more interesting to watch if jessica Alba played "Nancy" instead of that wrinkled dry-cunt they pushed up in front of the House-floor... Someone should just take Nancy P. to the taxidermy and get her face done! She's gettin' bigger bags under her eyes then the mounds of Alba's camel's toe!

as the next guy, but this behavior is not what I'd expect from the moderator who wants this board to have responsible pillars supporting it's new-found tone of responsible and adult [and "adult"?] posting. [And BTW thanx very much for including me in as one.  I was really pleasantly surprised].

I'm thinking, next time, Designated Poster?

How does one segue from Nancy Pelosi to Jessica Alba?  Apart from some VERY INTERESTING masturbatory fantasies, I'm thinking not very easily [but I'll be intently pondering this question in the next few days so stay tuned for a update].

I think Pelosi is thinking of 'church" as organized religion.

However, Why else do you think I needed you "Pillars" of this community?? I obviously cannot hold up the roof, I can hardly stand!

Yes, I think Nancy-P-Cunt is broadcast-spraying her venom at the whole "Church", but I'll bet when she's done it will be whittled down to only "Jesus-centered" churches! I'll bet there will be exemptions and exclusions ten-thousand pages long in her bill, otherwise she'd end up punishing her own herd of sacred-cows like endowed-arts, muslims, NPR/MPR, Nat/state/county/city library system activities, park&rec activities, every form of eastern-mystic-cult-based religion of shit-n-fog on the West coast, Future woodstock festivials, ect, ect..

I'm sure all-things-liberal will get a golden-pass out of the labyrinth of locked doors she's plotting in her witches-castle for the Church...

Maybe I'll go to the local watering hole and do some BBW-tipping with this wad of wrinkled dollars in my pocket... simular to cow-tipping, but less work, the BBWs lay down willingly for a few bucks rather than having to push them over... But I'm more sexually drawn to the cows..Hmmm, I guess I'll save a few bucks...  ;>

Ignoring your partisan vulgarities towards the Speaker of the House and the obvious booze-driven babbling, I'd like to thank you.

It's about fucking time you opened the door for me to be able to get up on my favorite soap box... the Biggest Con Job of All.
Grifters and con artists have been using religion, mostly Christian but some Judaism as well, for as long as the con that is dogmatic-based religion has been in existence.

The Reverend Ike, The Tony and Sue Alamo Foundation, Jimmy Swaggert, the Bakkers, Ted Haggard, Ralph Reed, Robertson, Falwell, Oral F-ing Roberts...
and then you have the cultish Neturei Karta (the Chasidic Jews who went to Tehran were Neturei Karta), or the Satmer Chassidim in Monroe, NY. No different in dynamic than the Mormon church is in Utah, the list goes on and on and on and on Ad Nauseum... (not even gonna get into the Islamist bullshit. thats a different sort of extreme)

All are perfect examples of unabashed cynical hypocrisy and manipulation of the "sheeples" as you so very cleverly and appropriately put it.

All have taken blatant advantage of the tax exempt status afforded religious institutions... all rake in MILLIONS of dollars a month from their hapless minions... all, in their own form, proclaim some Divine status placing them above everyone else...

its all a crock of ancient horse shit.

Look at how Scientology grew out of the mediocre writings of a mediocre science fiction author with a clever scheme for a tax dodge.

Did you know that the leader of the West Coast Satmers was jailed for laundering DRUG monies??? And the Satmer community raised and spent over $2 million dollars just to keep the Rabbi comfortable, and safe, and well fed on kosher food during his time in prison. Sort of the way the 109th looked the other way as W committed impeachable acts.

And you wonder how it is the United States is falling behind further and further in vital areas of education and progress?

The American Dark Ages began when we had foisted upon us a President who believes the world is less than 6000 years old. Get the FUCK outa Dodge!

The Biggest Buffoons Blindly Believe Baffling Bullshit!

Fuck Em All with a rusty pipe. Rant Over. oh wait... this was a response, wasn't it? Well, there ya go. I'm still waitin for your rebut to my headbutt of your yes but.

I knew Carl Sagan was full of shit! This ONE event proves that there is a God, He loves me, He sent his Son to die in my place on the cross for the sins of my fore-father Adam [1000 generations removed] and that he rose again from death, hell and the grave, to bring me ever-lasting life in an eternal-kingdom made of precious jewels with streets paved of gold  and where we will all live in mansions and wear crowns with jewels embedded in them representing our good-works from when we lived here on earth, and where we will rule and reign with the Lamb of Glory for all eternity and Jesus takes his seat at the right-hand of the Father and makes my enemies his foot-stool!!

WHEW!! I switched to drinking Jesus-juice about an hour ago... I see now why Michael Jackson liked it so Much! I kinda wish Michael were here right now... I could fondle his freckled weiner and pump him hard in the ass to give him a taste of what Hell awaits him in the after-life!!!

They certainly are not "right" [corectly-held belief] about what they Believe! And like so many check-n-balance institutions, a person must hit certain "markers" in his assencion-among-rank within Church-culture, thus it becomes a self-policing conclave of self-rightous shit-sniffers who elevate eachother among their peer-group and pronounce eachother "Holy" before the flock! (The "model" for how to do this on mass-scale is the 2000yo Catholic power-structure, and while the "elder-watch-groups" within other denominations may bear different names, the way in which they are stacked against the "flock" is always the same!

JESUS NEVER MEANT TO BRING THIS PEVERSE-PAGAN SYSTEM TO HIS MISSION!! Infact, I'll venture to say Jesus would drive the Pope and his underlings, as well as the leadership of most prodistant-churches out of their temple-courts with whips if he were to return today!!!

An absolute MOCKERY has been made out of the simple, personal, and purposeful rea on that Jesus ever came to this planet in the first place! SHAME AND DAMNATION befall the men who have done this!! The ever-twisting of truth for personal wealth and power!!

(I don't blame the humble-followers for their folly, and I don't believe God does either, their hearts are sincere... but the blame falls on the leadership, and hell burns HOT, even today, as the fires are stoked in preperation for their judgment!! (IMHO, of course,,, YMMV, lol!)

Truth be told, the only real argument existing between Xming and the Doc revolves around the political maelstrom that is Israel's existence in the Middle East. But we're not there today.
That's a political argument.

This is about Religion in general, a subject on which X and I are actually on the same side of the aisle. You just never see any of that because he's too busy chanting AIPAC, and I'm too busy responding with ANTI-SEMITE.

Some questions to consider:

1) Pelosi is a dedicated Catholic and tries hard to live her life by the Gospel of St. Matthew.  Isn't it a stretch to accuse her of being against the church?

2) She is one of the few congress people who have taken the time to try to talk with American Muslims (through the Council on American Islamic Relations).  While some CAIR members may have some involvement with radical Islam, it does not follow that she is coddling terrorists. Clearly, not all American Muslims are terrorists.  I had the experience of teaching at a junior college in Detroit in an area with a large Arab population including many Muslims, and never encountered the sort of hatred of the West that so many Americans ascribe to all Muslims.  It is high time that intelligent dialog with American Muslims was established.  Or do you believe we should reopen the internment camps used for the Japanese-American citizens in World War II and stuff all people of Arab descent into them?

3) Perhaps you don't agree with the details of Pelosi's attempt to rein in the religious right's attempt to dictate the politics of this country.  But you yourself admit that you can't come up with a good argument against what she is trying to do.  Perhaps you could offer constructive criticism instead of an ill-tempered drunken rant?

4) I can't help wondering if her being a woman and a Democrat isn't a big part of your animosity.  I notice that the article you reference describes a bill introduced by Harry Reid and colleagues in the SENATE; where is the relevance to Nancy Pelosi there?

... And how she blurs the line between what is ethical and moral...

First off, I HATE ETHICS!! "ways and means rules" are just a way to create hoops for your opponent to jump through and a quagmire of non-sense rules-of-order to bind and manipulate your opponent and launch accusations of "misbehavior" at them with, But at a closer look, ETHICS ARE MEANINGLESS!

In the uninformed-public's eye "ethics" interchange with "morals", and paint a picture of corruption, often when nothing "morally corrupt " has occured!  "Ethics = Man's protocals of behavior" Whereas "Morals" are a mesaure of fairness, rightous and criminal actions or thoughts against a PESRON (ie, your "neighbor")

If you are a pro-abortion advocate, It is a simple matter to justify abortion because it is "legal", thus "ethical" to suck or cut a living child out of it's mothers womb...

But it is not "MORAL" to insert tools into a mothers cunt and snip the arms off a living pre-mature child as it flails,lurches, and pushes against the jaws of the bone-crushing insterments as it's limbs are removed and it's dragged out of it's would-have-been mother in pieces! (Obviously I'm talking about third-trimester fetal/babies, not early-term undeveloped gobs of stem-cells that "may" develop into a human life! I'm consered most about the ones that would survive, even if only for a short time if they were pre-maturely discharged from their mother' womb!

(BTW, I am pro-choice, but I've always wonderend why the fetal-child can't simply be leathalized in some painless way and removed dead... Why do the pro-abortionists insist on chopping them up, plunging insterments into their skulls, and vacuming them out in pieces while they still have a pulse??)

So it is difficult and lengthy to "flesh-out" all of what I hate about Nancy P. Cunt and her ilk of heathens, but the "ethics" ruse is a good first-punch! (BTW, I only use the abortion-issue as a talking-point to illistrate the senselessness of "ethics-rules" not to start an abortion-debate, that can be a different thread someday, I favor some points made by both sides!)

I will admit, however, that the more beautiful younger women are democrats, not republican-girls, but also dem-girls are more permiscous, thus wear out earlier, and end up later in life, whored-out, bitter, self-rightous and using excess make-up, jewelery, and expensive clothing to self-justify and lie to themselves when they look in the mirror...

...so should we therefore abandon all ethical constraints on people's behaviors and trust their "moral" sense to guide them?  Would you trust the "moral" sense of Osama bin Laden to do what is right? Or a sociopathic serial killer?

You fail to realize how little consensus there is on what is "fair", what is "righteous", and what is "criminal".  Do you believe that the bigwigs at Enron were inhibited by any sense of morality they might have had?

Bear in mind that, while ethics can be objectified and externalized to a great degree, it is much harder to come up with similar obiter dicta about morality.  The reason is that ethical standards are essentially nomothetic (rule-based) in nature, while morals are much more ideographic (situation-specific in application).  While my distinction may be a little imprecise, it gets at the fundamental difference between ethics and morality as I see it.

I would agree that vivisecting a fetus in utero is clearly immoral --- primarily because, as you point out, it is an unnecessary brutality.

Be careful about equating "freedom of choice" with "pro-abortion".  One of the repulsive bugaboos of the right-to-life extremists is their claim that abortion is a cheap and easy way to evade the consequences of sexual promiscuity.  Having had relationships with three women at various times that contemplated and/or underwent abortion, I can tell you it is an agonizing decision for a woman to make.  There is nothing facile about it in the least.  I believe that only a male or nulliparous female would entertain such a ridiculous thought.  Or one whose brain has been fried by the Religious Mafia.

I have seen nothing about her "treatment of American Samoa.  I would appreciate any info or references you could provide.

Insofar as the minimum wage debate, it is funny how many CEO types that are making millions of dollars a year complain about the increased cost of a minimum wage increase --- to a congress that never fails to give THEMSELVES a pay raise every year.  As far as smaller businesses are concerned, prices could be raised if their customers had wage increases to increase their buying power.

American Samoa would NOT get any increase in the minimum wage.  Perhaps it would be instructive if you looked into this to see why, and then possibly your view on Pelosi might change, particularly as regards ethics and hypocrisy.
