Sharia Law--it's not just for Muslims, anymore!

As a long-time student of Comparative World Religions, I have made every attempt I can to be open-minded about people's beLIEfs and cultures. I've embraced (and often, practiced and/or tried) a great many Paths that most Humies would find utterly repugnant, disgusting, &/or perverse. But I have ( Read more... )

One of the wisest sentences ever uttered on the "War on Terror":

"Declaring war on a method of violence was like declaring war on amphibious warfare."

Followed closely by something I've been saying for years:

You know, I grew up in the "anti-evolution" camp (reading classics such as "From Goo to You by way of the Zoo"), so I like to think I have a unique view on this.

I try not to focus on 2nd Circuit political games very much because--to be honest--it just seems such a waste of Attention (and much of the reason why I dislike TellaVision and the news so much). For the amount of emotion I can feel over political issues, I am generally quite disappointed in my Results of my Desired changes. I appreciate my right ( Read more... )

In case you've missed it, here's some scary shit from the fun-duh-mentalist christian whackos: a video game where you get to kill the infidelsAs a funny aside, I happened to see Kirk Cameron (remember him from that 80's sitcom? He was quite the teen heart-throb) playing the main character in the "Left Behind" series, doing stuff on TBN (along with ( Read more... )

As I continue my surf around LJ-land, I'm stumbling across some interesting communities, personas, and whatnot. As I look at the various sites (?), I find it more than a little hilarious to see certain individuals/communities so focused on One particular side of something or another. In particular, certain spots seem to be more "Dark/Left Hand/ ( Read more... )
