Bawk! Pretty Bird

I accidentally left the channel on Glenn Beck’s show here at work, thinking it might be where the Reds game is on, and he’s hosting the authors of the Left Behind series with a font across the bottom of the screen that reads: “END OF DAYS?” Anyway, after this low-budget special effects segment that shows major cities of the world with ominous backlighting, Beck goes on a brief rant about how all these signs are piling up, etc., to suggest that the earth’s present inhabitants are, in fact, going to be the audience that gets to see the dramatic conclusion of this epic movie called History, and Beck indignantly concludes by saying, “But nobody’s talking about it!”

I swear to God, some of these people don’t recognize themselves when they walk past a mirror.

It’s mainly because they cast no reflection.

 
 

If only they hadn’t started dumping the mentally ill on the streets back in the 80’s.
Idiots like Beck would be in a place where he couldn’t hurt themselves or others.

 
 

I’m still watching it a little bit, and Tim LaHaye was saying something about one-world government, the Antichrist and, in the same breath, how the United States was a force for good, with the implication that we should have more say-so over the affairs of foreign governments.

It’s a wonder they don’t bump into things all the time with their total lack of self-awareness. My gosh.

 
 

Ah, Headline News.

Home of Glenn Beck and Nancy Grace.

The poor man’s Fox News.

 
 

Funny you should mention that. They switch around which 10-12 channels we get fed through the router here, and I’ve actually developed a preference over the past week to Fox News over Headline News. (Keep in mind this is all at half-volume.)

 
 

I actually had the virginal experience of watching Glenn Beck for the first time when I didn’t know who (or what) he was. He was on CNN, so I figured he was “okay.”

The first minute felt sensible, like normal waking life. Then–although I don’t remember the specifics–that little “uh oh” voice in me said “uh oh” and it subtly dawned on me that this guy was Nutz.

It was like re-living the entire mental evolution of mankind–in two minutes! From naive credulity and trust to savvy, hepped-up insight.

Something like that.

 
 

Hey Glenn, ever read “The Late Great Planet Earth?” You know, the bestseller in the 70’s that showed “all the signs piling up,” especially those involving the Soviet Union? How about last year’s Lebanon war, when all across the wingnut blogosphere there were giddy wishes that this could be it– the utter destruction of Earth that liberates each human being from the pain of thinking?

The signs have been “piling up” in America since the 1730’s-brand postmillenialism– the really interesting change will come when everyone agrees that they aren’t.

 
 

My first exposure to him was hearing him on his radio program, talking about how you can see Satan’s face and the World Trade Center if you folded a $20 bill a certain way.

If you walk down to your nearest Kinko’s at any given moment, there’ll be a guy just like him making self-serve photocopies before heading home in a station wagon full of phone books.

My understanding was that the world was going to come to an end on October 22, 1844.

Did that not work out?

 
 

God, but I’m sick of god. God needs a better agent. Fucker’s overexposed. God makes tom cruise look like a hermit. God on NPR. God on CNN. God in my newspaper, my magazine, my intert00bz. What the hell is it with god? I’m pretty certain Iran would feel more secular than America does.

Why the hell can’t these people here the silliness inherent in being a grown-up and still believing in fairy tales. Jesus christs tits in a mason jar, it’s a fourteen hundred year old storybook full of just-so stories that contains one hundred percent of the evidence for this angry, schizoid superbeing, his rotten illegitimate son and that holy ghost that just hangs around to satisfy the polytheists of the time.

I want to live someplace where they can make a modicum of sense for a couple hours at a time. Bimmler? You got a spare room?

No shit? This guy has, like, a program on CNN or something?

What? I don’t have TV. Help me out here.

 
 

This is as good a place as any to ask you all, on behalf of the WAAGNFNP, to take this parody of wingnuttia “straight,” so to speak, and attack it viciously in your blogs, just to see if they’re as lazy as the Fox News fact checkers referenced in the comments thread.

I think Glenn Beck having his own television show is the best sign that world already has come to an end, but nobody was paying attention.

We are in ur world, ganking your rapture

 
 

If by the end of the world they mean the end of humankind, I don’t find that premise all that unlikely. It’s not going to be a bearded sky fairy that does it, but our own stupidity.

 
 

I do not appreciate that, Gus. We’re going for the rapture, dumbass. Which involves champagne, at a minimum.

 
 

This dog isn’t worried.

 
 

I don’t get these “end of times are coming” deals. It seems the only “sign” that these people can point to is turmoil in the Middle East, and that’s nothing new. Show me blood raining upward or some messed up shit like that, and then MAYBE I’ll believe them.

One of my favorite songs from the L.A. punk days put it like this:

“They promote the end of the world
like they owned a piece of it,
but judgment day will be business as usual;
no one will notice it.

“It’s the wishful thinking of a spoiled brat;
if they can’t take with them, they want nothing left,
but that’s not the way it’s going to be
when everybody’s singing
Tomorrow Belongs to Me.”

“the earth’s present inhabitants are going to be the audience that gets to see the dramatic conclusion of this epic movie called History

There’s bound to be a sequel, you know. Then some scriptwriter will stuff around with the backstory and write a prequel. It’s always the same with these comic-strip adaptations.

 
 

Speaking of Pretty Bird, this is a good cause…I’m donating some $$ to it.

 
 

These are the people who make up the 28%’ers that still support Shit-For-Brains. We should be prepared for a backlash from these fringers. Their entire world is crumbling around them and that’s why they think this is the year. What they fear more than anything is a Democratic President, Congress and Senate. They would rather die than live to see that day.

Knowing this first, that there shall come in the last days scoffers, walking after their own lusts, and saying, where is the promise of his coming? for since the fathers fell asleep, all things continue as they were from the beginning of the creation. 2 Peter 3:3-4.

 
 

walking after their own lusts

walking after their own lusts

g – it’s not about transportation. Try to open you mind and broaden your perspective.

The true meaning…the human being, in his/her fallen state, has the ultimate desire of satisfying the self, without regard to holy morality or eternal consequences. These things are spiritually discerned. Those who lack this discernment will mock and rebel. But consider this, eternity is a very long time to find out that you were wrong.

When you finally find yourself at the end of your rope, then, and only then, will you touch the hem of His garment. He has called all to the Kingdom. But few will answer….

when he says “no-one is talking about it” he means no-one who isn’t a cretinous laughing-stock. which shows a remarkable level of self-awareness i thought.

“Would you tell a five year old that Santa doesn’t exist?”

i remember when i was five, Santa came to my bedroom and told me that my dad didnt exist. every night when we left “dinner” out and i thought it was for my dad, it was Santa that was secretly eating it. i still haven’t got over it.

 
 

He has called all to the Kingdom. But few will answer….

Get ’em to fucking answer and get the hell out already. There are things to do.

wasn’t 2 Peter a post hoc attempt to escape the fact that Jesus had lied in Matthew 16:28 when he said “Verily I say unto you, There be some standing here, which shall not taste of death, till they see the Son of man coming in his kingdom.”? i’m pretty sure there all dead now, unless The Wandering Jew’s still about.

 
 

Dear ichomobothogogus,

You confuse physical death with spiritual death. God does not lie. He is who He says He is, and He can do what He says He can do. And make No mistake, Jesus Is God.

 
 

You all seem to be rational people, dependent upon evidence, and I respect that. So lets talk about the evidence for the deity of Jesus Christ and validity of the Bible. Beginning with this…In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. John 1:1.

Since you all reject the Word, as Gods love letter to mankind, I don’t expect to you use that resource as evidence.

So, how about this…

The Bible, we claim, is a supernatural book, making supernatural predictions, and containing supernatural confirmations.

As such, The Bible contains nearly 300 predictions concerning Jesus Christ. Even critics agree that the latest of these come from some two hundred years before His time; many come hundreds of years earlier. Every single prophetic word has come to pass as predicted, and they are often clear and specific.

Some include:

Born of a woman
Born of a virgin
Cut off (killed) 483 years after the ceclaration to reconstruct the temple in 444 B.C.
The seed of Abraham
Of the tribe of Judah
Of the house of David
Born in Bethlehem
Anointed by the Holy Spirit
Heraled by the messenger of the Lord
A perform of Miracles
A cleanser of the Temple
Rejected by the Jews
The sufferer of a humiliating death
Rejection by His own people
Silence before His accusers
Being mocked
Piercing His hands and feet
Being crucified with sinners
Burial in a rich man’s tomb
Casting lots for His garments
Raised from the dead
Ascended into Heaven
Seated at the right hand of God

There were thousands of eye-witnesses to these events. If you reject these, then how about the Bible’s accuracy, in hair-splitting detail, about the rise and fall of Kingdom’s and rulers, verified by secular historian’s? And the Bible’s uncanny prophecy about those events, hundreds of years before they occured?

I can tell you more, about manuscript evidence, written by pagan’s and secularists, archeological evidence, historical evidence, scientific evidence, intuitive knowledge, the testimony of the scribes, the unity of the 66 books of the Bible, written over 1500 years by folks from backgrounds ranging from shepards to kings. And finally, by the fact that God prophesied that people would reject him, and attempt to destroy His testimony to His children.

But Jesus Himself said, “And I say also unto thee, That thou art Peter, and upon this rock I will build my church; and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it.” Matthew 16:18

Thankfully, my LORD was right, and I am firmly in His grip. I pray the same for you all.

 
ichomobothogogus
 

in that case which of them are still alive? or are you a preterist?

 
 

Dear ichomobothogogus,

No. I am a pre-trib, dispensationalist. To answer your question, they ARE alive, for all eternity, in the most beautiful place that you could ever imagine. They are alive in the arms of the LORD, as I pray you will be, when your time comes.

The Lord says, “But as it is written, Eye hath not seen, nor ear heard, neither have entered into the heart of man, the things which God hath prepared for them that love Him. 1 Cor 2:9

 
 

So lets talk about the evidence for the deity of Jesus Christ

I think the strongest argument is that God, being a He, not only likes to go into vaginas, but he likes to come from the other direction, as his own son no less.

 
 

Dear Righteous Bubba,

God created man and woman in His image. He also created sex for our pleasure, in the sanctity of marriage, while on this planet, and also for the purpose of procreation.

Since you seem so interested in this topic, I would suggest you read the book in the Bible, titled, “Song of Solomon.” Let me offer this scripture to you:

How beautiful are thy feet with shoes, O prince’s daughter! the joints of thy thighs are like jewels, the work of the hands of a cunning workman. Thy navel is like a round goblet, which wanteth not liquor: thy belly is like an heap of wheat set about with lilies.Thy two breasts are like two young roes that are twins. Thy neck is as a tower of ivory; thine eyes like the fishpools in Heshbon, by the gate of Bath-rabbim: thy nose is as the tower of Lebanon which looketh toward Damascus. Thine head upon thee is like Carmel, and the hair of thine head like purple; the king is held in the galleries. How fair and how pleasant art thou, O love, for delights! This thy stature is like to a palm tree, and thy breasts to clusters of grapes. I said, I will go up to the palm tree, I will take hold of the boughs thereof: now also thy breasts shall be as clusters of the vine, and the smell of thy nose like apples; And the roof of thy mouth like the best wine for my beloved, that goeth down sweetly, causing the lips of those that are asleep to speak. Song of Solomon 7:1-9.

Don’t you see? God is our creator. He invented sex. We are to enjoy in it the purest and most sensual sense. Not to say things like you have Bubba. Don’t say things to make something so precious and beautiful, as an ugly and vile act.

 
ichomobothogogus
 

so when jesus said “Verily I say unto you, There be some standing here, which shall not taste of death, till they see the Son of man coming in his kingdom.” he actually meant “You’ll all be dead before the Son of man returns, but some of you will go to heaven?” If you want to interpret it that way go ahead, but one wonders why he bothered. its a little obtuse, like all that “a single day is like a thousand years” nonsense. if he can’t say what he means what’s the point?

as for the prophecies, occam’s razor would suggest the gospel writers cherry-picked unrelated phrases from the old testament and wove them into a messianic narrative. their validity as actual prophecies is dubious as many of the quotes appear to be talking about events contemporary to the prophets themselves and many of the passages are wrenched out of context. midrashic reinterpretation was pretty common in the first century, so there’s a lot of precedent.

your “eyewitnesses” wouldnt stand up in court either. the only evidence for their existence or witnessing are written by anonymous third party sources a long time after the events took place. colour me unrevelated. I dunno how you can prove jesus archaeologically, or scientifically. maybe “some of the places mentioned in the bible actually exist!!!” for the former and time travel for the latter.

 
ichomobothogogus
 

note to Solomon: never describe any part of a woman’s body as looking like a flock of goats. You won’t get past first base
note to Righteous Bubba: God has graciously allowed you to have sex, but you mustn’t say the word “vagina”

 
 

Don’t say things to make something so precious and beautiful, as an ugly and vile act.

You mean God busting Mary’s virgin vagina open from the inside to be his own dad? Does it count as incest to be your own dad or what?

 
Herr Doktor Bimler
 

Thy navel is like a round goblet, which wanteth not liquor
Yeah, I’ve tried that approach with Frau Doktorin Penny. The trouble is that akvavit really has to be drunk ice-cold — it’s abominable stuff at room temperature — so her navel only works as a round goblet if I tie her down while she’s asleep.

 
 

Different strokes, Herr Doktor.

 
 

Unless I’m way off in my causality, the Bible was mostly written AFTER the events it describes.

It’s really not a trick predicting things that have already happened.

As far as predictions goes, show me one – ONE! – proper name of a person or country in the Bible that did came to be after the fact.

If the Babble can’t get the names right, how inerrant can it be?

 
Herr Doktor Bimler
 

That would be kinky. There’s already enough screaming from the akvavit.

 
 

Dear Ichomobothogogus,

You sound angry. Guess I hit a nerve. Didn’t mean to do that. Just trying to have a civil conversation here.

I guess you are right about the eyewitness accounts not holding up in today’s times. Although I hold their testimony to be true, lets move on from that.

You also reject the anthropologic, and scientific evidence.

Contrary to the claims of modern evolutionists, the Bible declared centuries in advance that life does not arise from purely non-intelligent natural laws. The only cause known to scientists that can produce incredible complexity, even the simplest one-celled life, is super-intelligence. Former atheist Sir Fred Hoyle (1915-2001) affirmed,

“Biochemical systems are exceedingly complex, so much so that the chance of their being formed through random shufflings of simple organic molecules is exceedlingly minute, to a point indeed where it is insensibly different from zero…. [Thus, the existence of] an intelligence, which designed the biochemicals and gave rise to the origin of carbonaceous life.”

Microbiology has demonstrated,

1) The genetic code of life is mathematically identical to that of a human language.

2) The specified complexity of a one-celled animal is equal to thirty volumes of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Another secret of modern science, hidden for centuries, was announced over 3,000 years ago in the Bible. Moses wrote in Leviticus (17:11): “For the life of a creature is in the blood, and I have given it to you to make atonement for yourselves on the altar: it is the blood that makes atonement for one’s life.” It is likewise known by modern science that life is the blood, a fact attested to by a loss of blood, bringing death.

Manuscript evidence:

Many great classics from antiquity survive in only a handful of manuscript copies. According to the great Manchester scholar F. F. Bruce (1910-1991), we have nine or ten good copies of Caesar’s Gallic Wars, 20 copies of Livy’s Roman History, 2 copies of Tacitus’s Annals, and 8 manuscripts of Thucydides’ History, all of which are accepted by the secular world as authentic.

The most documented secular work from the ancient world is Homer’s Iliad, surviving in some 643 manuscript copies. By contrast, there are now thousands of Greek manusripts of the New Testament. The New Testament is far and away the most highly documented book from the ancient world, and to date, the best selling book of all time, just like Jesus said it would be.

Generally, the closer to the time of the original composition, the less likely it is that the text has been corrupted. In addition to complete manuscripts from only 300 years later, most of the NT is preserved in manuscripts less than 200 years from the original. Some books of the NT date from little over 100 years after their composition. All but 11 verses in the Bible can be reconstructed from the original Greek, Hebrew, and Aramaic text. The discovery of the Dead Sea Scrolls, in 1947 or so (not sure of that date), supports the Bible in every jot and tittle.

The scripture you refer to, Matthew 16:28 reads, “Verily I say unto you, There be some standing here, which shall not taste of death, till they see the Son of man coming in his kingdom.” These words were spoken directly by Jesus. Do you feel betrayed by these words? If so, I’ll write to you about that, but have a feeling that you’ve had enough of me for now.

May God call you, and richly bless you,
Dana

 
 

Dear Bubba,

God didn’t bust Mary’s hymen. There was nothing incestual, sexual, nor perverted in the event.

God favored Mary, because she was a devoted servant for the Lord, and lived a humble and modest life. God chose Mary to be the mother of Jesus, knowing in advance that she would be faithful to His Kingdom. Jesus was 100% God and 100% flesh and blood man, the Son of God, but also God himself.

Mary bore Jesus as a virgin, as prophesied thousands of years prior. Jesus came to this earth to fulfill the Messianic Law. “The next day John seeth Jesus coming unto him, and saith, Behold the Lamb of God, which taketh away the sin of the world.” John 1:29.

His is the Lamb of God, His only begotten Son, who was slain on the cross in a horrible and tortured death, so that you and I could have eternal life in the holiest place that you could ever imagine…Heaven. All He asks is that you accept His gift of Grace and Mercy. If you do so, he will give you the spiritual discernment that you now lack.

Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends. John 15:13

 
 

May God call you

Hello? You say that vagina from the inside is the coolest thing EVAR??!?!?! Well I had no idea. How’s the smiting going? Yeah, well, it’s kinda hard to tell when you’re doing and when it’s IEDs and tsunamis and such, so I gotta ask. What’s that? Cleveland to the finals? BULLSHIT. Yes, I call bullshit. No, I won’t take it back, that’s crap. Okay, fine. You too asshole.

 
 

God didn’t bust Mary’s hymen.

Sure he did, on the way out because he was a way-kinky pervert. Prove me wrong!

 
 

RB,

Are you drinking? Drinking heavily? I ask, because you’re not making any sense. I never said that “vagina from the inside is the coolest thing” and have no idea where you came up with that.

Also, asking me to prove you wrong that God is a “way-kinky pervert,” as you propose, is a sophmoric proposition.

When you regain your wits, I’ll be happy to discourse with you. Until then, I hope you’ll get some help, some professional help. In the meantime, I’ll repeat this to you:

When you are at the end of your rope, then, and only then, will you find the hem of His garment. He’s here to love you, and to help you. All you have to do is reach out and hold His hand.

In His Grip,
Dana

 
 

God is a “way-kinky pervert,�

That’s what I say, glad you agree. In fact, God, for a good long while, spent time as one of those “adult babies” pooping and peeing whenever the mood struck him while we presume poor Mary had to clean up. Think of it: omniscient being slurping at a milky boob and then firing out a stream of poop just when Mary thought she could rest a while.

What a sick and depraved pervert God was.

 
 

Dear RB,

I think my words speak the truth here. For some reason, you have an agenda to twist my words, so you go ahead. But, those who read this dialogue will surely find you to be a fraud. And quite immature.

You can blashpeme the LORD all you wish. After all, He did not create robots. No. He created men and women to have free will, which you are now exercising to your ultimate demise. I am very saddened by this, but it is your choice.

I hope you can live with it RB, because eternity is a hell of a long time to be wrong.

Signing off…permanently,
Dana

Jesus gave up too and he got nailed to a board for it! For shame!

 
 

Dear Ichomobothogogus,

Regarding your question about Matthew 16:28, when Jesus said “Verily I say unto you, There be some standing here, which shall not taste of death, till they see the Son of man coming in his kingdom.”

Here is my response….

Jesus was talking to the disciples around him, 3 of whom would be with him when he meets with Moses and Elijah on the Mount of Transfiguration. Jesus was at that time transfigured (changed in countenance, though still in his earthly form) while James, Peter, and John looked on.

Thus, they saw Him coming into his Kingdom –that is, as He will be at the time His Kingdom is fully come to fruition.

James, Peter and John saw this before their own deaths.

Here is the account of that time:

From Matthew

17:1 And after six days Jesus taketh Peter, James, and John his brother, and bringeth them up into an high mountain apart,
17:2 And was transfigured before them: and his face did shine as the sun, and his raiment was white as the light.
17:3 And, behold, there appeared unto them Moses and Elias talking with him.
17:4 Then answered Peter, and said unto Jesus, Lord, it is good for us to be here: if thou wilt, let us make here three tabernacles; one for thee, and one for Moses, and one for Elias.
17:5 While he yet spake, behold, a bright cloud overshadowed them: and behold a voice out of the cloud, which said, This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased; hear ye him.
17:6 And when the disciples heard it, they fell on their face, and were sore afraid.
17:7 And Jesus came and touched them, and said, Arise, and be not afraid.
17:8 And when they had lifted up their eyes, they saw no man, save Jesus only.
17:9 And as they came down from the mountain, Jesus charged them, saying, Tell the vision to no man, until the Son of man be risen again from the dead.

Now do you understand?

Love,
Dana

I would hardly describe the observation that losing large amounts of blood results in death as a “secret of modern science, hidden for centuries”.

However, I will concede that science has not even caught up with many of the revelations within the Pentateuch… for instance, the four-leggedness of insects, or the way that rabbits chew the cud.

Ms./ Mr. Dana, what you’ve just said is one of the most insanely idiotic things I have ever heard. At no point in your rambling, incoherent response were you even close to anything that could be considered a rational thought. Everyone in this thread is now dumber for having listened to it. I award you no slack, and may Bob have mercy on your soul.

 
 

Funniest Dana comment:

Try to open you mind and broaden your perspective

Second funniest:

Microbiology has demonstrated,

1) The genetic code of life is mathematically identical to that of a human language.

Uhh…that would either be math or genetics.

Either way, IDiot “science” constantly relies on its adherents inability to distiquish the difference between analogy and homology. So it goes with all things dishonest.

My apologies for the failure of Operation Freedom From Dana.

 
 


I hope you can live with it RB, because eternity is a hell of a long time to be wrong.

Now here’s a point where I gotta tell God to stuff it.

I mean, how many things are mortal sins? But do any of ’em, Once, and you spend ALL THE REST OF TIME being tortured for God’s chuckles.

eye for an eye, wasn’t it? Or was it turn the other cheek? In any case, the punishment just far outweighs the crime. some Judgement.

Or was it because it took the threat of eternal suffering to get people to convert, because otherwise, it just so much BS?

 
 

Man, Dana and god must spend a lot of time chatting. They’re like best pals or something. Maybe she knows how to find his myspace page.

1) The genetic code of life is mathematically identical to that of a human language.

What the fuck does this even mean? For the genetic code of life to be mathematically identical to that of a human language, first, you ought to explain the methodology for mathematically analyzing human language, and since you don’t specify WHICH human language then aren’t you saying that ALL human languages down through the ages are “mathematically identical”?

Yes, mikey, I, too, found that bit about the DNA = mathematically identical to a human language to be completely, impenetrably dense. But, you missed the important part–it means something to Dana! She probably can’t quite explain what, at least not any more coherently than that, but it means something!
