From the folks who have convinced themselves that President Elizabeth Warren will simply wave a magic wand and bring about the American utopia they dream of. But those who accuse Hillary of pandering with her religion don't seem to realize that no one, Democrat or Republican, gets elected president in this god-soaked country without doing that. Often and shamelessly.

Welcome back, BTW...you've been missed!

Excellent point, too bad there's no place for logic or reason in those threads.

Took a look at the thread. The resident philosopher from The Other Group was in there, I noticed. Chiding people about criticizing religion as usual. ANY religion. I'm pretty sure he'd complain if somebody criticized the Kool-Aid recipes of Rev. Jim Jones.

Omaha Steve posted Dubya's inane/insane quote about how god told him to screw up the Middle East. Bu$h said that in Sharm el-Sheikh, Egypt, in 2003. In the summer of 2005 Sharm el-Sheikh was suicide-bombed, along with 2 other Sinai resorts. I was in Egypt at the time, but nowhere near those bombings.

475. Now lets say that gnat hits my windshield and I look up briefly to see it...
just as the car in front of me stops, and I plow into him.
And lets say that car is really a gasoline tanker truck and lets say I'm in a tunnel.
That gnat has done major major damage.

Now you see what can happen on the moon when we drop this bomb?


380. I agree...we dont even know the consequences....
and yet they are going to blast a large hole with enough power for it to be seen from earth.
I think it is irresponsible and criminal for them to do this without more information at the very least.



Response to Reply #380
394. Exactly. And they have the gall to do it at night when we can better see it.
It shows they don't care.
At least if they did it during the day, we wouldn't know when the disaster starts.

I worked for one of the contractors on that project (though I was not directly involved with it.)

Our department was a whole cabal of Evil Atheists/Agnostics. The only person in our office even remotely religious was a Jewish woman, but she was mostly secular and very tolerant of all the heathens. And our boss was an atheist Republican.

Every morning we would scour the internet to find the craziest stories about "blowing up the moon" and share them with each other.

We thought about a betting pool to find the craziest theory. But as your links show, that was pretty much an impossible dream. The moonbats just got crazier and crazier.

As the sane people in those threads tried to explain, nobody blew up anything. NASA just dropped a big chunk of metal on the moon to raise dust clouds and analyze the water content.

But then I realized the moonbats were right when I saw the documentary film "Iron Sky." We had to bomb the moon because the Nazis colonized it in 1945, in a plot to invade Earth in 2018...

Like the "2018 Presidential election." WTF? That would have to be 2016. Or 2020.

I did love the Zeppelin-shaped space ships, though. And the VW Beetles running around on the moon. The overall anti-Republican humor was good too. Even if it was more sledgehammer-like than rapier-like wit.

I moved over in time some minutes, and moved (astrally) over in space a certain distance and then, operating from "there", went out psychically to LCROSS and Centaur booster as they were streaming towards the Moon.

Next I enwrapped LCROSS in a telekinetic force and redirected it onto a course to the left so it was aiming towards one Moon-diameter's width left of the Moon's left side. Then the same was done with the Centaur booster rocket.

After LCROSS and Centaur were speeding on their new course, I engaged first one, then the other, with strong dissolution energy to unbind the Strong Force bonds holding their atoms together as molecules. Moving from top to bottom, I un-did the Strong Force bonds, causing the component materials of these space vehicles to come apart at the molecular level. This process also safely dismantled the advanced munitions which were secretly aboard these space vehicles. Nothing left but a expanding array of atoms.

I could somewhat feel other lightworkers at work, too.
Good work, fellow lightworkers!

So they actually saved the Nazis on the moon?

I only pop in occasionally to see what totally stupid fight is going on that day.

All you need is 5 minutes in GD to realize that those pleading for "civility" in Religion have no fucking clue how peaceful and civil it really is in there.
