WOTM: Why I Mock
Whoops! Forgot to hit publish!!! D'oh!!!
Last month, I was looking at a Facebook page for Formons (though they have yet to embrace the term). Someone had posted a meme about how ridiculous it was to have passages in the Gospels where Jesus is alone and communing with His Dad/Self and someone is writing about it as if they were there.
One Formon who had converted to Christianity (from the frying pan into the fire) complained about people mocking her new religion which she deemed a very healthing thing for herself and others who had left the Church. In particular, she complained about the mocking tone of the meme. This is my response.
Okay, now for my birthday present to you... Are you ready? B

OUCH! Brilliant reply! AND I also smiled when I read your comment about hypersensitivity to accepting a humorous moniker as it reminded me of how a local bunch of disaffected Mensa meat had a chat group and mailing list called "Densa" but the local Mensa club nixed that. No sense of humor. Probably why I never joined their group. How Marxian of me (Groucho, not Carl) LOL
I can totally picture you pulling up a chair in front of some disaffected youths, and then having a heart-to-heart. :D
That’s me!!!
Your clarity and bluntness are very well received by many viewers. It's not offensive at all, unlike the variety of enduring belief systems in the marketplace of ideas.
Beautiful.... especially the second half of the video.
I'm getting attempts to censure me more and more frequently, when I'm not even mocking, just using phrases like "thank Gaia," or "Cheeses Crust," or Geeeeezus on a Crrrracker." Those zealots are telling me to stop insulting "their god and savior." Piss on 'em. As I told one such fanatic 2 months ago: " Nope. I'll use the name of any deity in any way I choose. Yours included." There is no such thing as blasphemy or sacrilege.
Great video....burns my ass that religious people are so prickly sensitive and yet they have no compunction in relegating us non-believers to their imaginary respective hells..
