As A Man Soweth . . .

As I’ve often said (screamed?) on the program, I truly, deeply, madly believe religion - all religion - is a scam, a hoax, and a form of dangerous insanity capable of causing millions of people to die; a way to keep the Rubes and fear-riddled masses forever in emotional and psychological bondage, ready always to condemn dissimilar “believers” to eternal hell, pain, suffering, and agony - not to mention a willingness to kill the “other” for the pleasure of God or Yahweh or Allah or whichever sky spook is hovering nearby; and, most important, an easy and highly effective means of control. In other words, religion sucks.

And, for frequently declaring (screaming?) this point of view on the program, I have been on the receiving end of some creatively obscene and powerfully ugly emails from God’s (or Allah’s or Yahweh’s or Vishnu’s) many followers. Oh, boy, are they creative! If I - or any human - we’re capable of performing the acts of self mutilation or self-destruction these Christians (for the most part they are Christians; the Jews and Muslims and Hindus tend to write me off as a condemned soul wandering the earth until Hell swallows me into a screaming miasma of pain and violence) suggest, I could finally get the hell out of radio and get a good paying job, with benefits, in a circus freak show.

When these vile and over-the-top missives come in I do take time to read them and weep for joy once again that I am not a part of the religious madness, and I wonder if these creatures honestly believe the day will arrive when their clothes will fall from their bodies and they will rise into the air on their way to heaven - the Rapture, as they call it, fully upon them - until the dreaded Science kicks in as they reach the Ionosphere and they then disintegrate into falling pieces of radioactive flesh. Ugh. And, Yikes!

But . . . I digress.

The point of all this is an article posted at CNN online that says the more often Americans go to church, the more likely they are to support the torture of suspected terrorists. (Let that sink in a second.) Of course that begs the question of who suspects these otherwise anonymous victims of being terrorists. Apparently, the Christians don’t care; anyone can declare a dark-skinned foreigner to be a “suspected terrorist” and the Christian will applaud as the Iron Maiden is rolled into the room and the Rack is unveiled. During the imperial reign of our Most Famous Evangelical Christian, George W. Bush, the only proof needed that the next hapless detainee dragged to the torture room was in fact a Terrorist was a nod from Dick “Blood Lust” Cheney. And there are memos, lots of pesky memos, that verify this. Since Gawd whispered to George to invade a couple of countries and slay the heathen - much like Yahweh whispered (or thundered; who knows) to Joshua to lay waste to Jericho - any resulting home-style terror perpetrated against, um, enemy combatants was acceptable and blessed. Oy.

The creepiest part of the survey, conducted by The Pew Research Center, was the not surprising finding that white evangelical Protestants were the religious group most likely to say torture is often or sometimes justified - more than 6 in 10 supported it. Yes, I know. That raises a couple of obvious questions. First, is this attitude on the part of these self-proclaimed followers of The Christ in keeping with Jesus’ rather simple messages about loving ones “enemies?” Second, it must be, then, the pain of the Crucifixion - not the resurrection - that is, um, celebrated at Easter. Third, how would today’s Christians handle the arrival of a dark-skinned Palestinian who claimed to be The Son, who chased the banksters from Wall Street, who declared an end to war and violence if only men and women would acknowledge his message of peace and reconciliation, and . . . well, you get my drift, right? The Christians would arrest him, detain him, declare him and enemy combatant, deny he had any human rights (which might make him chuckle), certainly no legal rights, send him to a prison to be tortured until he screamed, Yes! I helped Saddam Hussein invade New York City! Me! I did it! And Iraq is the center of terror and global murder! Infested with Al Queda! Invade! You must invade! Oh, and did I mention the nukes? Arrrrgggghhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh . . . .!!!!!!!!

So.

Of course the missing question in the Pew study was this one: “In addition to being a church-goer who believes in torture, what is your favorite 24-hour news channel?” If you just answered Fox, you win a front row pew at the next Communion Service at the nearest 20-thousand member evangelical mega-church.

Blessed be.

21. Yep!
All 6. I'm surrounded. The mother, youngest daughter, and her husband are on my right. The oldest daughter, her husband, and the daughter's son are on the left. They left the world famous Saddleback Church because they thought the views were too liberal. They keep sending church members to my door, leaving notes under the mat, and pestering me on Twitter. I just snapped today when they tried to preach their bigoted views again.

They're really the only ones who go out of their way to bloviate about their supposed moral superiority. Everyone else who doesn't care for my politics usually just usually stays out of my way.

Mr. smokey's company is going to be laying some people off. I think he'll be ok, though. Which is good because our savings would only get us through a partially cloudy day, at best. :(

Hoping that everyone is well! :bounce: :hi::hug:

Mr. lefty is home from the Bluegrass State, we've vacuumed the pool out for the first time since the cover was removed (the filtering device was leaking, so it was getting chlorine, but not filtering the water - yuck!) Replaced and repaired, and now filtering and shocking the water. :woohoo:

Volunteer hours completed at school so the younger 2 can go back to the schools they're used to attending, and a trip on May 7th to help Charlie get the big stuff home. Whew!

Strange, it's been kinda slow for me. :crazy: It did seem as though the tempo of my life sped up after he and his brothers were born, until this one...and there was a drag during the Bush** years. :rofl: His supervisor called today to tell him to report to work on May 15th. Somewhere in between his getting home and then he has to have 7 wisdom teeth removed and he has to be recovered! What did I mention about the tempo of my life?

and she was awake. I didn't get to see her today, but I'm going to go tomorrow after I do my morning rounds with the kitties and the pooch. Give Charlie a HUGE :hug: for me, I had a wisdom tooth extracted - I can't imagine having 7 yanked out. :scared:

73. I'm sending good vibes for improvement!
They won't be yanked, but cut out. Place where there is one and other places with multiples. He had multiple toothbuds in the front of his mouth, and by the time that the pediatric dentist could determine the true permanant tooth, there were six additional tooth buds to be removed in addition to the fused "baby tooth", which was filled until he was old enough to determine what was actually happening.

Wish we could've recycled all of those tooth buds.

It's all good, I miss folks in the thread often, I'm sure. Hoping that all is well with you and Chloe. I had to break up HAC and a feral cat earlier. I need to get HAC in and find the trap to try to trap the feral cat. :hi: :hug:

96. oh, boy, we drag Chloe in if there are other cats around, but
she pretty much can fend for herself, my girls go crazy and we all run outside to rescue Chloe, give plenty of ice cream to Charlie. Poor kid.:hi: :hug:

47. Hi, Truthseekers!
Beloved Daughter (12) is getting sick of me taking her temperature twice a day to make sure that she's not sick. Husband and Beloved Daughter have ... uh ... threatened to put the ear-thermometer someplace on my person if I don't cut it out. Nurse-Friend just said to get attention if anyone gets a high fever ... so I've been a good caretaker, but it's not appreciated.

:-(

Merlin appreciates it when I give him his warm-water backrub, and give him his vitamin-powdered crickets.

:) :hi: :hug:

49. Hi Maat!
:hi: :hug:
If I lived closer, I'd let you take my temperature. Merlin is the world's luckiest bearded dragon! Big :hug:s and lots of ear scratches and tummy rubs for Dot, Dexter, Coco, Snowball, and Merlin from me and the NJ catz!

54. HeeHee.
You're so cool, Smokey!

Merlin is a crack-up; he's getting a cricket-belly, and has grown quite a bit. I'll have to have Hubby take a current photo of him.

The Maat Menagerie thanks the NJ Catz!

We're sending hugs and ear-rubs right back to the NJ Catz!

:hi: :hug:

59. When I was a kid, Maat, I hated school so much that I would wish for all sorts
of injuries and ailments that would get me some time off. I wanted apendicitis more than I wanted a bike (and I REALLY wanted a bike). Every year when chicken pox would be going around, I prayed (I believed in a higher power back then)that I would get it. And I always hounded my mother to take my temperature because I knew if I had a fever, I'd get to stay home from school.

58. Hey Maat!!
Just threaten to use the rectal thermometer! :hi: :hug: And, yes, I still have mine. Our pediatrician didn't do the ear or armpit thing as my 3 had a tendency to go from 100-101 to emergency room (105) rather quickly.

Just a thought. :evilgrin: I envy Merlin, minus the crickets.

63. I don't have a regular work schedule anymore.
So I get up early and check my work email and voicemail, and wait for something to happen so I'll know whether to go in or not. It's weird.

How's my Edie?:hug:

According to our calculations, she's a year old now. My baby's growing up. :( But she's still got that kitten craziness and she's the sweetest little thing!

67. It's the same sister.
Late Monday night, she was having breathing difficulties (like sleep apnia, but worse) so she's back in the hospital. It's still touch and go, but she was much improved today - awake and her numbers were better.

Another RW non-apology. These ugly people are incapable of saying, "I'm sorry."

She is working to help so many others by getting passage of the Hate Crime Bill. She said it looks good in the Senate this time...maybe.

She's a better woman than I, as I would've come unglued at the nasty comments of Rep. Foxx. I don't know how she dealt with that. :hug: to her.

Hoping that all is well with you. :hi: :hug:
