Your boat is leaking
Oh I Don't know rid.
Can't believe your still toying around with all this holy 'happy horseshit' when your boat is so full of holes.....
Guess who will probably come carping ....
"The Woodpecker might have to go from the Ark!"

How may members are in this church? I suspect their quite possibly all related, just like the WBC. After doing what they did they should be charged and possibly given the same treatment. Your always going to find examples of this but it 's fringe stuff. Although, you become good at finding fringe shite. This is not a matter of religion. This a matter of stupid abusive people.
Keep up the good work, you doing a fine jobs sniffing out nut jobs. When you find something that involves more than a handful of nut bars, let us know. Then it might be consider a reasonable point.
The power of your reasoning is compelling.Oh I Don't know rid.

Perhaps you believe that it is impossible for there to be progress or good news. Do you think the MIC is behind religion too?
As usual, you know nothing about the story behind the song, but that doesn't stop you chirping into a conversation ever.Religion has Always been a useful 'tool' for the MIC....god willing!
MIC found that ditty 'Praise the lord and pass the ammunition' very helpful in fattening their bottom line!....
From; http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Praise_the_Lord_and_Pass_the_Ammunition
"Praise the Lord and Pass the Ammunition" is an American patriotic song written by Frank Loesser and published as sheet music in 1942 by Famous Music Corp. The song was a response to the attack on Pearl Harbor that marked United States involvement in World War II.
The song describes a chaplain ("sky pilot") being with some fighting men who are under attack from an enemy. He is asked to say a prayer for the men who were engaged in firing at the oncoming planes. The chaplain puts down his Bible, mans one of the ship's gun turrets and begins firing back, saying, "Praise the Lord and pass the ammunition".
Not all religious leaders are just talkers! Some step into the breach with more backbone than people like you will never have.
Please little bottie what YOU posted makes my point!
Perhaps you missed that skippy......
I am a Veteran who wore the uniform during the NAM Debacle!
What military did you serve in....little onie???....
Nice. Now do you peel potatoes in your uniform when you do KP or what? Apparently, Shrub served in the miltary as well. Were you drafted or did you enlist? How long were you in country? That fact that you say the things you do about the military makes me suspect you didn't enjoy it. Kind of like our recently disappeared friend QIF.Please little bottie what YOU posted makes my point!

There you go again Moriarty
Why can't you say something righteous and hopeful for a change skippy!
Never did KP after being drafted.
They had machines to peel potatoes by then.
Did you do KP, or even wear the uniform???
From the why you bluster, I doubt it.....
Always with the negative waves....

So you were drafted.
No, I didn't wear a military uniform. As they said, my skill set was better suited elsewhere; let the jokes begin, but give it your best shot.
I do KP almost every day.
If you were proud of your service I think you would have answered BR13's questions...
I was drafted like most in my military unit were then.
Did my duty but like many others found very little to be proud of. Like Richie Havens sang in one of his songs (at the 3'17" mark)....."Most of what we were taught to do, was against most of our scared laws."
Only the lifers felt fulfilled by it but we chided them telling them they were best suited in the military since they probably couldn't hold a civilian job. That flick 'Kelly's Heroes' was played widely on our base while serving. We watched it many times.....it drove the lifers bonkers.
BTW it was in AIT training I first heard the term 'Happy Horseshit' referenced towards religion used by a SGT instructor. He was a hardcore vet who had just returned from combat in NAM and wanted to make sure we did to. His words on religion were. "It's OK, if you need that holy-holy 'Happy Horseshit' to get you by. But after what I saw and went through over in NAM I'm convinced there ain't no god-damned god! .....and if there is he should be hung for allowing what happens over there".....
Did you wear the uniform rid???
I wore "our" uniform. Not yours. Canadian regs. By choice, obviously.
Still can't tell if you were actually in the shit or in the rear with the gear.
But you have mastered Youtube...
And since you are fond of cliches..."There are no atheists in a foxhole."
Really interesting article this am about Hitchens going to a really religious guy to help with his cancer. A small irony I suppose:

And continuing an earlier discussion about religious scientific leaders I offer up a not-to-bad scientist/mathematician named Newton.

Controversy over creationist Libertyville teacher
The issue of a Libertyville High School instructor teaching creationism in the science classroom is likely to be brought up in the public comment section of tonight's Community High School District 128 board meeting.
Atheist activist Rob Sherman is expected to make an appearance in an attempt to get the creationist-promoting teacher fired.
District officials have said they have spoken with science teacher Beau Schaefer and confirmed that he was teaching creationist beliefs at the high school. Schaefer has not returned calls seeking comment.
The school board is scheduled to go into executive session to discuss the employment of an unidentified employee and take action on that discussion Tuesday evening. It is not known if that employee is Schaefer. District officials say any personnel issues will be discussed behind closed doors.
The school board meeting is set for 7 p.m. at the Vernon Hills High School Library, 145 N. Lakeview Parkway in Vernon Hills.
“Steps have been taken to ensure that this teacher will no longer use creationism as part of his classroom instruction,” Mary Todoric, director of communications, said last week. “Furthermore, the district has taken appropriate steps to ensure that all science teachers are not referencing or teaching creationism.”
Even so, Buffalo Grove-based activist Sherman has said he plans to speak at the board meeting, representing five parents and the sibling of an LHS student who have contacted him out of concern that their students might have been graded on their knowledge of Schaefer’s religious teachings.
“It has nothing to do with being dissatisfied,” Sherman said. “I’m protecting conquered territory and assisting parents who want the teacher fired by articulating their concerns. What I’m trying to do is remind the board with my presence that creationism in the classroom is undesirable and according to the Supreme Court it is illegal. ”
For example, in a quiz allegedly assigned by Schaefer, Sherman claims some questions lead students to creationist beliefs, swaying them toward the notion that evolution is not scientific. That goes against the Illinois State Board of Education’s 11th grade science assessment framework, Sherman said.
The U.S. Supreme Court has ruled that creationism is not scientific, but is a religious Christian belief that God created mankind and that it is unconstitutional to advance a particular religious belief in the classroom.
However, dissenters such as Justice Antonin Scalia and Chief Justice William Rehnquist have said that decision goes against protecting educational freedom.
However, Sherman has said he has been hearing from people on both sides of the argument — some saying they want creationism to be taught in the classroom and that they are expected to speak at the Tuesday meeting in support of Schaefer.
“Anyone choosing to attend the board meeting has the opportunity to speak during the “invitation for public comment” section of the agenda,” Todoric said. “There will be no discussion of the science curriculum or Mr. Schaefer… Personnel matters are never discussed publicly.”
