And it’s so hilarious to read about the godfuckers and their hairsplitting contests and lack of perspective.

Mike Huckabee actually reminds me of Bush II when he was up for election in 2000: everything he says either makes me want to laugh or cry.

I think this would work really well if it was “L Ron Fucking Hubbard!” But not otherwise.

Thanks! New swears are a good thing!

I never meant to say that the Conservatives are generally stupid. I meant to say that stupid people are generally Conservative. I believe that is so obviously and universally admitted a principle that I hardly think any gentleman will deny it.

And of course Superman would beat the Hulk; he (Supe) is invincible, invulnerable, indestructible, etc. Well, unless the Hulk was wearing a kryptonite suit. Or knew magic. Or they were under a red sun. (Are those all of Supe’s exceptions? It’s been a while since my comic book days.)

Now, OTOH, who’s faster, Superman or the Flash, is a much more difficult question to answer.

See, The VRR Huckabee is all about the Love. And in demonstration of his God-given Spirit of Love, he’s even willing to grant a low-rent travelling-show mock-up like Mormonism status as a “real” religion. Is that not a graciousness surpassing even Romney’s own explanation that all Americans are religious and therefore all truly religious are in some sense American? That’s why Michael ‘Elmer Gantry’ Huckabee believes he’s rising so swiftly in the popularity polls — because His God is Love, for sufficiently meagre values of “love”.

The question among evangelicals is whether Mormonism is a religion or a cult. By professing his belief that it is a religion, he is saying that his religious tolerance is so much greater than all those *other* Southern Baptist preachers.

Yeah, I know…

Man, I look forward to the big family get-together every year for just this reason. Hey, during the 15-minute blessing my uncle gives before we get to eat someone has to keep an eye on the younger children, the mean little bastards.

Well, the purported issue is that Satan is not God’s “son” the way Jesus is–with that logic, plants and animals would be Jesus’s siblings, also.

What? You mean man would have to have stewardship over the planet and protect God’s children?

What a concept! One might almost get nailed to a tree for such crazy talk!

“Your continued refusal to accept blindly what I say is God’s will means I get to view your death would be justified however it might happen and how dare you be so hurtful by calling me an idiot.”

The liogic is very simple: When God created the universe, there were no angels. Ergo, any angels that appear MUST have been created by God, just as Jesus was created by God.

Well, the purported issue is that Satan is not God’s “son” the way Jesus is–with that logic, plants and animals would be Jesus’s siblings, also.

The actual issue is more of an existential than a theological one, to whit: “B-b-but Satan’s the BAD GUY and Jesus is the GOOD GUY and they can’t be related because the BAD GUYS have to be THEM! If they’re not, how can I be special and hate ‘them’ in peace? Whaaaaaaaaaah!”

I may not have the correct terminology there, but my wingnut/English dictionary is at home…

That’s a common Mormon feature – it can be very amusing. I’ve been steeped in it long enough that I’m used to hearing people curse by saying “Flip!” or “Fetch!” because saying “Fuck” is a no-no. I do the same thing when I’m in pious Mormon company (in accord with the When In Rome principle). I’ve got one Mormon friend using the phrase “Mole poblano!” as a general-purpose exclamation of wonderment.

“Your refusal to worship at my God’s altar means I get to fantasize about you enduring an eternity of pain and suffering at the hands of the most vile demons I can conjure! So stop being SO mean and calling me stupid!”

There was a good one of these in Monty Python’s Flying Circus – “My lack of God, it’s Trotsky!”
