quote: Originally posted by tomb: Yeah, I used to send PMs to SoF assholes threatening to ban them and signed the messages, "In Christ's Love."
I once had a charismatic curate write me a "letter of rebuke" (as he termed it) that ended with the valediction "under the Blood."
Meditation on that phrase raised New Possibilities of Creative Expression for me. If I ever show up on CNN because of an axe murder, it will be because of the clergy.
I read this at work and ending up slapping myself, it was so funny. I then thought of some clergyperson calling somebody a compost heap and signing "washed in the blood" and other such nonsense...then I peed myself and cried.
Darn you tomb. Darn you to heck.

From da Spiff (waxing philosophic in Hell): quote: Just 'cause you don't got a set of balls to sit on don't mean that the rest of us are passive-aggressive wusses whose spines, in a medical engineering feat, have been replaced with boiled spaghetti noodles, and whose brains have been replaced with a voice recorder that spouts useless platitudes and misogynistic opinions whenever your knee jerks.

This was a lovely gem from Barnabus: quote: I'm well up for God speaking through people outside the church. The biblical limit appears to be Balaam's ass. That should give all of us pause for thought.

And just to break things up:
"... all mankind is of one author, and is one volume; when one man dies, one chapter is not torn out of the book, but translated into a better language; and every chapter must be so translated; God employs several translators; some pieces are translated by age, some by sickness, some by war, some by justice; but God's hand is in every translation, and his hand shall bind up all our scattered leaves again for that library where every book shall lie open to one another."
John Donne,
"Devotions upon Emergent Occasions" (1623),
XVII: Nunc Lento Sonitu Dic*nt,Morieris.

Check the fist page or so of the thread, kentishmaid, I quoted myself about four or five times. Becuse the people around here just don't appreciate Real Brillince.
Speaking of which-- this gem by Kenwritez needs to be worked into the Ship mission statement somewhere...
quote: Most times I'm full up to here (gestures) with all the round-robin bullshit bickering I see on the Ship. The same arguments. The same invincible ignorance. More of the same assholes, just with different names. Like trying to corral a roomful of methamphetamine addicts with rage control issues. How Erin and the admins have survived this long without climbing a tower and shooting people is a miracle, a testimony to God's grace, strict gun laws, and the power of self-medication.
