Shudder and spurt
A couple of things to share... first, go to http://www.devo2-0.com/whipit and enter the code "whipit1" to get a free download of this thing and then listen. Dear god, this is worse than the A*Teens!!
Next up, though, is something for FUN... assuming you aren't easily offended, of course.

Speaking of being offended...
I don't care WHAT your faith is, if you aren't able to accept that some people looking at it don't believe the same thing or possibly even look at you like you're crazy for believing it, then I feel bad for you.
People are freaking out over the Judas Gospel (STILL!?!?!? man, get over it!) and others. The DaVinci code had more people talking about the "theories" and such BEHIND the book than about the plot or the style or anything else (btw, book was fine... fun to read and still has some nice ideas, true or not). Just deal with the fact that not everyone is going to buy YOUR faith and you'll get along better with others. Don't expect people to fit into YOUR view of what a "good" person should be doing. As long as no one is UNWILLINGLY getting hurt, what's the big deal? I mean, I don't like drugs and don't want to associate with the hardcore abusers but it doesn't mean I haven't hung out with someone who does them before and give them the benefit of the doubt. As long as they respect MY wishes to not be around the stuff, we have normally gotten along well. Same is true for the OVERLY faithful.
But people are DYING over their faith and, worse still, KILLING because of it, too! 9/11? Ireland? Waco? And what kills me is that all these similar faiths all preach about a LOVING god who will reward them AFTER. IF the god is so loving and caring, why do they see life like it's all god's television set (a throwback to a highschool discussion none of you will get, porobably)? We're here for his amusement? Like when a kid puts two different types of bugs or ant colonies into the same jar to watch them fight. How do they accept BOTH realities?
Thou shalt not commit murder... unless it's in the name of god.
Thou shalt not covet thy neighbor's goods... unless you think it belongs to YOUR god.
The is only one god and allah is his name... A-L-LAH... A-L-LAH... A-L-LAH and allah was his name-o!
The jews are bad because they killed jesus... even though that's what he was here for.
Judas is the bad guy in the jesus tale... because he did what jesus needed/wanted him to do.
Dinosaurs didn't exist because the bible doesn't mention them. I don't have a smart ass comment for that one, sorry.
Religion has gotten WAY out of hand in this country. Part of me blames Bush but then I realize he just took advantage of 9/11 hysteria in helping further his own political agenda (ok, the agenda of his party controllers) and faith was the easiest way to 'unite' the people. I imagine most anyone would've done the same thing. It was just too easy to do.
But now we need to stop it. We need to realize that while this country was founded primarily by christians, it was founded on the principles of FREEDOM of religion. This would/should include freedom to NOT have religion. So what if a lot of buildings and documents and sayins from these founding fathers have christian mythology spread throughout them. So what if they claim the ten commandments were important when thinking about the laws of the land. Think about it... don't steal, don't kill, and don't lie..' those were the only ones really put into law. The rest of the ten, pretty much ignored. Affairs aren't illegal, remember? They'll just put you at the bottom of the barrel during a divorce hearing. You can fuck all the people you want, married or otherwise, as long as they ain't kids and you don't try to marry all of them.
Oh, yeah, and they also had slaves. But all men are created equal.
And mistresses. But marriage was important.
Argh.
