    I'm not trying to be perfect...

    I'm trying to be as the Bible instructs us:

    To be as a servant...

    To be as a child...

    To be Holy...

Never has one of them ever come off as a pretentious, yet clueless asshole about their devotion to God as much as you do. You're not "Christian" you just play one on the internet to bullshit yourself you actually have a life.

    Obviously you believe the Bible is perfect. That's why you are trying to make others believe you are living by it, word for word.

    But you, like all the others, only live by the parts you choose to live by. You don't believe every single word of that garbage. But keep wasting your energy convincing yourself otherwise. No need to convince anyone else, because they don't care. Now return to your hypocrisy.

    Well the bible was put together by the Council of Nicea under the supervision of Emperor Constantine. Hey you start a church you need scripture right? Then the prodestants broke off and did their thing. As time chugged along people kept rewriting the bible. Religion is a business. When it gets old and outdated and it risks losing membership, you got to change some things.

    Being gay was political suicide in the old days but Hoover had enough dirt on his enemies he was just like going,"Ok. Make my day!" I guess he was good to work for. He treated his employees decent.

    I can almost see my house form here just past the barn and lock down mental institution. Scary


    I know I've been doing a lot of weed lately trying to come to sort sort of a conclusion about the lyrics of Billy Joel. All I can make of the dude so far is that he is one shitty writer, a sort of a east coast Long Island Jew heroin monkey who once got his dick wet with a supermodel. How did he manage to fuck that up?

    Billy Joel the date rapist:

    She's a real nice girl and she's always there for you
    But a nice girl wouldn't tell you what you should do.

    Listen boy I'm sure that you think you got it all under control
    Tell her about it. Tell her everything you feel
    Give her every reason to accept that you're for real.


    Now compare with:

    "I know what you want, I can see what you're looking for.
    I know what you want from me, an' I'm gonna give you more.

    I'm gonna slide it in right to the top,
    Slide it in, I ain't never gonna stop.
    Slide it in, right to the top.
    I'm gonna slide it in, slide it in, slide it, in baby..."



    Date rape tunes are all the same. Does not matter who writes them.

    This being a religious thread, you should have gone with a different Billy Joel lyric....

    Come out Virginia, don't let me me wait
    You Catholic girls start much too late
    But sooner or later it comes down to fate
    I might as well be the one
    They showed you a statue and told you to pray
    They built you a temple and locked you away
    But they never told you the price that you pay
    For things that you might have done...
    Only the good die young



    Though I always thought it worked better as a punk rock song......

    Believe that is more about pedophilia which runs wild in the Catholic church. Odd a Jew from New York would write such a strange tune unless he was into it himself.

    I work with a guy like that. He's all preachy, and then will steal other people's lunches out of the fridge. One of the other guys told him "I'm pretty sure Jesus says 'don't be an asshole'" and Jesusboy gets pissy and runs to HR.
    Writing In All Proper Case Takes Extra Time, Is Confusing To Read, And Is Completely Pointless.

    They believe they are saved. See if you changed it to when you die you are judged according to your actions and behavior on planet earth and if you fall below a certain level of acceptability you are reincarnated back on earth and you have to live your whole miserable life over again until you get it right that would stop them from stealing other people's lunches. In fact karma would make sure they were the ones being stolen from.

    Life can be tough and most people need a crutch but such an unsophisticated theology like ELVIS has just comes across as ludicrously childish, hugely old fashioned and closer to the Taliban than any concept of Western freedoms and democracy.

    The worrying thing observing this loon in the petri dish here is that compared to many millions in the US, he's relatively mild. ELVIS at least accepts evolution and some science.

    But not climate science... which is ironic, given his literal front row seat to some of the worst by-products AND causes of man made climate change.

    I don't think you people get it. Religion exists to entertain us.

    Yes, I know...

    If you would bother to pick up the Bible you would find that most everyone God sent was ridiculed and killed...

    Most people thought they were nuts, just as you think I'm nuts...

    The Bible says I'll be hated, but to be of good cheer...

    So, that's how I am...

    Think I'll take a tire burning spin in the Super Bee...

    Shaddup...

    You don't need some worldly Seminary to understand the word of God...

    You need to be filled with the Holy Spirit...

    Crooks and prosperity preachers emerge from those places...

    They like to rub shoulders with world leaders and get rich...

    Shaddup...

    "Man made climate change" is nothing more than man made arrogance...

    God is in control, not tiny little man...
