Although the newspapers haven't yet bothered to menton it, the TV news (KOMO-4, 4/23/2002 11pm) reports that the 16-year-old who murdered the little kid was on psychaitric medicine.  However, his mother often didn't give it to him, because she "trusted in God to cure him".

What is it with these religious retards anyway??  Don't they get it?  God doesn't exist!  It's all a sham, or a scam.  No Cosmic Muffin is going to float down and cure anyones mental illness, coma, gout, or hangnail.  No Allah, no Jesus, no G-d, no Vishnu or Shiva or Set or Giant Space Turtle.

Is it any wonder thtat Catholic priests are buggering every five-year-old in sight, or that Jim Jones got hordes of people to drink the Kool-Aid?  How about that Middle East, all ready to blow each other into bits over who controls some "holy" sites where imagiarny things happened two thousand years ago?

What is WRONG with you people?!??!  Get a hobby!  Get a horse!  Get a hobby horse!  Get a life!

And which religion is it, exactly, that professes the spiritual practice of regular *intimate* contact with nubile 18 and 19 year old cheereleaders?

Where does the Turtle stand on this issue?

[i]DR. FORRESTER: How does the Gamera theme song stack up against songs from yesteryear?

FEINSTEIN: Oh, it's interesting you should ask that because the opening lyric of the Gamera theme song has sort of a Rogers and Hart feel to it. Let me show you what I mean.

[plays piano and sings]

Gamera--

[plunk, plunk, plunk, plunk]

Gamera--

[tra la la la, tra la la la]

Gamera is really neat.
Gamera is filled with meat.
We all love you, Gamera.

But then the second part is a little more fun. It has a sort of George and Ira Gershwin feel to it.

Shell,
Teeth,
Eyes,
Claws,
Scales,
Breath,
Fun.

It sort of sneaks up on you. "Boo," it says.

[plays piano and sings]

Gamera's enchantment still grows.
He fills our hearts with love.
Gamera's the latest thing.
He fills our hearts with spring, spring, spring!
Anytime you want some moonbeams,

[whispered]

Gamera is the thing.

[plays piano and sings]

Gamera is really neat,
He is filled with turtle meat.
We all love you, GAMERA!!![/i]

Boomer, the news last night was vague about what the medication was, but implied that it was relevant to the 16-year-old murdering the little kid.  If you have more specifics, then maybe you know whether it would have mattered or not.

Uh huh.

Let me put it this way.  Say you're walking down the street one day and a man approaches you, offering you 500 acres of ocean-front property for only $1/acre.  "Just write me a check for $500", he says, "and it's all yours".  What would your reaction be?  At the very least you would ask to see the property before paying for it.  In other words, you would require proof before believing that the offer was true.  What I'd like to know is how one can believe in the existence of god without a single shred of evidence while at the same time demanding proof in everyday decisions, like buying land.

Yes, it really is that simple.  Faith is nothing more than belief without proof.  Faith is not noble, it's foolishness.

Columbine killers took their meds like good little boys and see what happened!  Meds alone do not cause or prevent violent behavior.  

BTW the 16yr old boy can be cured but only if he trusts in God.  Considering that he had a previous criminal record and is now accussed of murder I doubt that he is a Believer like his parents.

A man owned a house in a flood plain.  A big storm was coming, and a higway patrol car stopped and told the man, "You should evacuate, the flood will sweep your house away and you will die."

The man replied, "God will save me."

Later as the water began to rise, he was forced to go the second floor. A boat came along from the local emergency service. "Come with us, the flood will sweep away your house and you will die."

The man replied, "God will save me."

As the waters rose higher still, the man climbed on to his roof. A helicopter came along, and a man said, "Come with us, the flood will sweep away your house and you will die."

The man replied, "God will save me."

Well, soon thereafter, the flood swept the house away, and the man died.

When he hit the Pearly Gates, he was steaming mad.  He looked up God, and said, "I TRUSTED you to save me.  I demonstrated faith over and over. But YOU let me die!"

God replied, "Enough already. I sent a patrol car, I sent a boat, I sent a helicopter.  What more could I do?"

Kill-9 is comparing apples to oranges.  Imagine your father paying $500 for beach front property and giving it to you for free.  Would you accept this free gift?  Absolutely!

God paid a ransom for you and will give you salvation for free.  You've got nothing to lose by accepting God's free gift of forgivness and salvation.

Cinch up your holy boxer shorts, close your eyes and say three times:

When would be better for you? I have an opening in my calendar Thrusday, Friday, Saturday this week as well as Sunday Monday Tuesday and Wednesday of next week. What works for you???? [:D] (That's "frozen lima bean" humor  [:D]  )



Seriously, my wife and I didn't want to hear the doctor tell us she has hodgkins disease, cancer. We were going on vacation like two days after he told us.

So we could have waited for a more convenient time to listen to him. But If we waited too long, she would have been dead.

People here are my brothers in arms. The Liberals, the Marxists, the Greenies, the Pinkos, the Whackoes and the Fruits have all made it clear that I am nothing to them.

So, I go to my friends FIRST with a message from the "Doctor." Its meant in love, my friend. Even tho the news can be hard to take.

If I find threads in the "20 round magazine" forum, or the "airline security" forum, or the "tree stump" forum, I try to limit myself to the type of content the FORUM indicates.

Same with the "General" forum. I was apparently under the misconception that "general" means "general." [:D]  (more FLB - frozen lima bean - humor  [}:D] ) That whole Clinton thing with "is" made me take a hard look at what words mean. [:D]

Its kind of a Catch-22 for us. While we know you are not serious, this is NOT the kinda thing we feel comfortable joking around about.

Would you tell "Dubya" jokes in the presence of the President at ANY venue, or would that be  "inappropriate"  is ANY "venue?" (to mock him, even "jokingly," in his presence??)

Since we are ALWAYS in the presence of God, is God deserving of less respect than President Bush??

On the other hand, I don't want to be anal about it. So its a balancing act I try to achieve.

My MAIN interest was in responding to Achmed, not the followers of the "Great Space Turtle."
