Tennessee completes batshit process

[LMNO]

I have to get the Fuck out of here. 

Come to Boston.

Bring BBQ.

Sure thing.

Pork or beef?

Burnt Ends, and Memphis dry rub ribs.







Also,

... she didn't even know that there was democracy in Greece...

To quote the Good Reverend:  EVERYBODY OFF MY PLANET.  NOW.

I would be all for if they widen it to include any law based on any religion 

Ask any right-winger, ALL real AMERIKUN law is based on the Bible...

Of course, after all, without the Bible there are no morals.

If it wasn't for the Bible, we'd all still be in caves hitting each other with rocks for fun! I mean, hell, its not like there was civilization or anything before JEEBUS!

I have gotten very nearly that exact argument from people.  Seriously.

I know... me too.

I had a discussion with someone who was convinced that democracy came from Christianity. When I pointed out that Greece predated christianity... she didn't even know that there was democracy in Greece... and was surprised that democracy in Venice was predicated on the business men kicking out the Church.

Ask her to find you ONE story in the Bible where the people decided to choose their own leaders or make their own laws and it worked out for the best. 

No one who has read, understood, and believes the Bible would think a representative government is a good idea.  Theocracy with a divinely appointed king or GTFO.

Wait...you mean that isn't democracy? OHSHIT!!!!!!!!!!

[Adios]

It exempts peaceful practice of Islam but labels any adherence to Shariah law — which includes religious practices such as feet washing and prayers — as treasonous.

John 13:1-17 mentions Jesus performing his act. Specifically, in Verses 13:14-17 he instructs them, 14 "If I then, your Lord and Teacher, have washed your feet, you also ought to wash one another's feet. 15 For I have given you an example, that you should do as I have done to you. 16 Most assuredly, I say to you, a servant is not greater than his master; nor is he who is sent greater than he who sent him. 17 If you know these things, blessed are you if you do them."


I really don't think I need to cover prayer.

Damn, I love this decade.

She was apparently under the impression that Christianity invented the idea that all people are created equal, which is obviously the basis of democracy. How she justified this with slavery etc. I dunno.

Well Athenian democracy wasn't actually predicated on the idea of equality anyway (which is only a relatively recent political innovation).

It's gonna be fun the minute this gets challenged in court.  I was thinking just the other day, "it is probably a bad sign of some kind when every month offers the opportunity for another Scopes Monkey Trial for any aspring HL Menckens out there".

Actually, I believe YHWH prefers a system of judges to kings.

1 Samuel 8 reads something like this:



Teh j00z: WE WANNA KING!

YHWH: You don't want a king.

Teh j00z: WE WANNA KING!

YHWH: You don't want a king.

Teh j00z: WE WANNA..

YHWH: FINE! HERE'S YOUR KING!   ENJOY!

YHWH: DON'T COME CRYING TO ME WHEN HE MAKES YOU ALL HIS BITCHES.

I also believe that the Koran got this practice from Jesus as well.

The gnostics believe that this passage refers to one of the stages of the "Chrism of Fire" ceremony, which included washing the feet, and then applying an Ungent (Chrism, where the term Christ comes from.. the recipe is in Exodus 30). This is why Mary Magdalene gets lorded over the other apostles after the foot-washing scene. She's the only one to have brought the Holy Annointing Oil to the meeting and had the balls to apply it and declare Iesus "a Christ".
