Date Line May 15, 2007
The Moral Majority founder, Rev. Jerry Falwell, has died. Next on the list, Rev Pat Robertson and James Dobson.
Granted, their departure and commencement of their existence in an appropriate place of eternal damnation shall still leave much to be undone; but at least it is a start in the correct and moral direction.
The Immoral Coalition these men have forged, with the willing and devout adherence of the perpetually ignorant, will eventually see its end. Before that time comes, we will see an attempt at the further extermination of all who prized the virtues inherent to "Wisdom, Knowledge and Understanding."
There is an ongoing blood feud, said to be between voices of good and those of evil. It is a feud which requires pain and torment in an effort to achieve survival of the species.
Hang in there. Between now and the event the earth will shake, the skies will darken and all will be wrong with the world.
In other words. Things will continue as usual, any significant major changes will be imperceptible to the media. The lies and dishonesty shall continue, America shall suffer for those who would avoid any inkling of real care for those who deserve the most care.
Face it children. The end times are upon us. They are here because the likes of Falwell, Robertson, and Dobson have proclaimed it so.
The end times are here because we would rather devote our limited resources to the killing Islamists than to the care of our hungry, sick and homeless.
Of vital importance in the work of Falwell, Robertson, and Dobson is to ensure the mental and physical destruction of a generation of our most productive young; and to do so at a time when the policies of outsourcing threaten America with FOURTH World status.
FOURTH World status? That is where we are dependent upon the Third World for everything; for the basic food on our tables; for the tables upon which to place our food; for the workers physically and mentally able to perform the work of any society.
We are, thanks in major part to Falwell, Robertson, Dobson and their ilk, destined to destruction. At least most of you are.
Are you having fun yet? Look for a new HORROR before year end.
(A HEADS UP) Why are the last two weeks in July significant?

Evangelical broadcaster Pat Robertson said Tuesday that God has told him that a terrorist attack on the United States would cause a "mass killing" late in 2007. "I'm not necessarily saying it's going to be nuclear," he said during his news-and-talk television show "The 700 Club" on the Christian Broadcasting Network. "The Lord didn't say nuclear. But I do believe it will be something like that." Robertson said God told him about the impending tragedy during a recent prayer retreat. God also said, he claims, that major cities and possibly millions of people will be affected by the attack, which should take place sometime after September.
What an asshole! And why is God speaking to an evil, blood diamond loving, old bastard like Pat anyway?
Y'know what I think? I don't think that God is speaking to Pat at all, nope I think "Pickled Pat" been carrying on a 40 year kaffeeklatsch with Satan.
His actual words were in regard to Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez. He said, “You know, I don’t know about this doctrine of assassination, but if he thinks we’re trying to assassinate him, I think that we really ought to go ahead and do it. It’s a whole lot cheaper than starting a war, and I don’t think any oil shipments will stop.”
He then went on to say, “We have the ability to take him out, and I think the time has come that we exercise that ability. We don’t need another $200 billion war to get rid of one, you know, strong-arm dictator. It’s a whole lot easier to have some of the covert operatives do the job and then get it over with.”
The Associated Press dared to accuse dear Mr. Robertson, an honorable man of God, of calling for the death of a fellow human being.
Rightfully outraged by this horrendous stretch of truth, Robertson defended himself by saying, "I didn't say 'assassination.’ I said our special forces should ’take him out.' 'Take him out' could be a number of things including kidnapping."
You're right, Patter. 'Taking out' could mean a lot of thing, and I suppose kidnapping isn't a crime or a sin. But that isn't the point. You also said, "if he thinks we’re trying to assassinate him, I think that we really ought to go ahead and do it." It pretty hard to misconstrue that. That means you think we should assassinate him. There's no way around it.
You can't blame the media when the remarks you made were caught on videotape. Maybe you should pray to God for a brain. Or ask your followers to "contribue" their hard earned money for one.
This may seem like a funny thing for me to write about... after all, you all know me... I'm the conservative, Christian type, etc... but this guy is really ticking me off right now. I had originally intended to make this post a couple days ago... but alas, our campus internet has been down all weekend, and so I've had a couple days to think about it, and it arrives... now.
As many of you probably know, Pat Robertson is at it again. A couple days ago, he made the statement that perhaps Ariel Sharon's current condition is the result of divine retribution for "dividing God's land". Needless to say... there are some people not too happy to hear him say that. Including me. You see, my problem with Pat Robertson is not that he suggested that we should assassinate the president of Venezuela ("Do not murder" Exodus 20:13 [NLT]). It is also not that he suggested that Ariel Sharon is essentially being killed by God ("He does not want anyone to perish," 2 Peter 3:9 [NLT]). Granted, both of these things are terrible to say and should not have been said (Mr. Robertson needs to learn to think before he speaks, I think). My problem with Pat Robertson isn't even that he claims to know something about Judaism and "divinding God's land" (I learned a lot about this topic last quarter from a Jewish Rabbi who helped teach one of my classes. Apparently, many Jews believe that just because God promised them the land currently called Israel doesn't mean that no one else would be living there with them. At the time the covenant was made, they were lucky to make it there at all.). The root of my problem with Mr. Robertson is this: Pat Robertson seems to think that he speaks for a majority of Christians. I don't know for sure that he doesn't, but I can tell you this: he doesn't speak for me, and he doesn't speak for 99% of the other Christians I know. It's easy enough to see that these eccentric extremist ideas that he expounds nightly on The 700 Club are in direct opposition to the Word of God, yet he portrays them as if they are absolute truth, spoken by God himself. I find it hard to believe that one man would suddenly be given authority to speak on behalf the entire Christian religion (much less God Himself), and even if he was, I find it hard to believe that these hateful messages are what our Creator wants to say to His world.
The unfortunate thing about it is that many non-Christians latch on to these kinds of statements and ideas and associate them with all of Christianity, when most of us don't agree with such statements at all. Fundamentalists like Mr. Robertson always seem to grab the public spotlight and incite the commotion, while those of us in the dorms, offices, and churches of America are left to try to explain their words and actions to an unbelieving world ("...no, I swear, that's not what I think... that's just what he says... all Christians aren't like that").
So in conclusion... Mr. Robertson, if you're out there... please stop speaking before you think, especially if your words could be traced back to the faith I practice, and therefore, me. It would do Christianity a lot of good.
Yep, one of my best friends is coming to town for his first trip to California. Brent and I met early in my college career. We grew up maybe 40 miles apart, back in northwestern Pennsylvania. And after college, we both ended up in the Philadelphia region. He’s still there, though I left in ’98.
I’ve got quite a week planned for us. He arrives Saturday, and we’ll probably hit a couple of the local brewpubs that night. On Sunday, we’ll see if I can talk him into going to the State Fair. I’ve been there twice, and will be there again on September 4, but that’s just to sit at a booth and sell books. It would be cool to actually do things for fun. Monday morning, we depart for Trinidad, returning on Thursday. Brent likes casinos (as do I), so we’ll probably visit the one in Trinidad. Maybe hit the one up at Clear Lake on the way back. And probably the one up in Rocklin one of the days he’s here. I’m sure he’ll enjoy Trinidad. And I know he’ll enjoy Lost Coast Brewery in Eureka. Who wouldn’t? Friday is the kickoff of Gold Rush Days in Old Sacramento, so we may visit that for a bit. And who knows what else?
He leaves the following Saturday, then I’m back at the Fair again on Sunday. Labor Day is Lorelei’s birthday, so I’m sure we’ll go out for dinner or something.
So how about that Pat Robertson, huh? Deciding that it’s in the U.S.’s best interests to assassinate the President of Venezuela. Such a nice Christian thing to say.
Oh, I’m sorry. Apparently, we “misinterpreted” what he said! On The 700 Club, he said, "I didn't say 'assassination.' I said our special forces should 'take him out.' And 'take him out' can be a number of things, including kidnapping; there are a number of ways to take out a dictator from power besides killing him. I was misinterpreted by the AP [Associated Press], but that happens all the time."
Yeah, Pat... It happens all the time because you keep pretending you didn’t say what you said. Because while the above statement is technically true, it ignores the fact that you also said, "If he thinks we're trying to assassinate him, I think we really ought to go ahead and do it." Seems pretty clear to me what you meant.
Let me also remind you of what you said about the 9/11 attacks: "I really believe that the pagans, and the abortionists, and the feminists, and the gays and the lesbians who are actively trying to make that an alternative lifestyle, the ACLU, People For the American Way, all of them who have tried to secularize America. I point the finger in their face and say 'you helped this happen.'" Your pal Jerry Falwell agreed. Which just goes to show that damaged minds think alike. Of course, Falwell later “apologized” by saying, “"I would never blame any human being except the terrorists, and if I left that impression with gays or lesbians or anyone else, I apologize." Yeah. I think we got the impression correct. Falwell has his own way of playing with words. For a fun example of this, check out my pal Jerry’s blog entry at Project Tocsin.
Did we misinterpret what you said, then, about gays, pagans, and others? No. We didn’t. You said what you meant, and you meant what you said. Let’s face it, Pat. You’re just an asshole.
And since we’re on the topic of religious idiocy, how about the Seventh U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals? They ruled that Wisconsin prison officials were mistaken when they did not recognize atheism as a religion.
Um, Earth to the Seventh U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals: atheism isn’t a religion any more than not collecting Pokemon cards is a hobby.
Can some atheists be religious? Sure. Buddhists are essentially atheists, but also have a religion. But Buddhism is not the same as atheism. Taoism is also atheistic, but it is not the same as atheism. There are other examples, too. But the point is, there are things that we understand are inherent to anything we call a religion that atheism does not inherently contain. Thus, it’s pretty ignorant to call it such.
The attorney for the American Family Association's Center for Law & Policy called it “the height of idiocy.” I agree, but only for the reasons I just said. His reasons were because he didn’t feel that atheism should be granted the same protections as religion. I guess he doesn’t quite understand that “freedom of religion” must by its very definition also include “freedom from religion,” or else there isn’t any real freedom granted.
Now, I don’t know anything about the study group that the inmate at the prison wanted to start. Maybe the group had enough religious qualities to be considered a religion. I find that hard to imagine, but who knows?
Have I mentioned that we got new computer monitors here at the office not too long ago? Big, flatscreen, 19” monitors. They’re great. And y’know what looks great on them? Twin porn stars! Yeah, thanks to my pal Gary, who sent me such a photo in an email, they were right there in full color on my screen… just as Boss B walked by. Naturally, she saw them. “You might want to be careful with stuff like that,” she said. I agreed. At least they weren’t nude. They had their shirts up, and their hands over their breasts.
I just agreed and said nothing further. What would I have said if I wanted to? I would’ve said, “That’s a good point. So, hey… you remember a couple months ago, you forwarded me a humorous email from your Blackberry. Well, on a Blackberry, everything shows as plain text. Other things, like embedded images, become attachments. So when forwarding emails that you’ve received on your Blackberry, it’s also a good idea to make sure said attachments aren’t pictures of naked ladies.”
