Had a little fun on Facebook .... LOL!

Posted this: "Some people on here have gone nuts .... just sayin."

I was talking about the right wing idiots posting political crap. They didn't figure it out. A bunch of them have "liked" my post.

I am sitting here laughing at them!

Not very effective, but fun!

1. I'm having fun posting anti-mormon stuff (their beliefs and history) for my fundie repukes

"You're going to vote for a guy who believes......?"
" I dont think he should be allowed to handle sharp cutlery if he thinks ...... really happened"
" That's obviously made up BS and you'd vote for someone who professes....."

It's a blast.

Oh, and if you think I hate mormonism and I'm ripping on their religion, well I do. I'm not going to get into it here and now to spare any of your feelings, but cmon.

the Feeding of the Five Thousand, and the Resurrection. And his running-mate believes in the Immaculate Conception and the infallibility of the Pope.

You OK with these two guys handling sharp cutlery? And this is not all "obviously made up BS"?

I'd like to see a nice atheist President sometime in my life. Someone who doesn't believe in fairy tales told long ago to control or scare the masses into submission, but someone who believes that we've all got to make the best of what we have today because once we die that's it. Life is life, nothing before, nothing after. The idea of tolerating shit here because you'll get a reward later is an insane way for those who Have to keep those who Have Not quiet and stupid.

Oh, and as for the "but". Mormonism was created less than 200 years ago by a convicted fraudster and is about as legit as Scientology and I doubt we'd be ready to elect a Scientologist to anything above county dogcatcher.

2. I had a crackpot friend talking about Iran make the mistake of saying, "we have inspectors there".

I immediately posted. "We have inspectors there allright but they are U.N. inspectors. I look at them the same way Jim. "

He hasn't even replied and he always shoots back. LOL I really chapped his ass with that one, I know!

never the case. They will just start trying to tell me how awful Obama is, like he is planning to take away their guns. I act totally innocent. I might ask: "Has something happened I am unaware of?" Gets them going. Then I say: "Well, I don't think any President would ever attempt to take away the right of Americans to own guns. You don't really think that this guy Romney can beat Obama, do you?" Stunned silence.

"Sometimes I wish there was a dislike option here."

They never know it is about them, but it makes me feel better as I am not in a position in this small town to make my true feelings known about their idiocy.

Gives me a little satisfaction without them knowing I am thinking they are fools.
