Reply #45: have you ever heard the saying "you set 'em up [View All]

i knock 'em down?"

"fundies" are fodder for humor, and i think you can relax - most of them won't get offended because they will never understand why we go into hysterical fits of laughter when we are "making fun of them."

as far as attacking christians, or any other set of religiously minded folk - i'm pretty sure that religion has been a staple of comedy for a long time - for instance, "a priest, a rabbi, and an athiest walk into a bar and the bartender says 'what is this? some kind of a joke?' " did you happen to see the middle eastern comedians on the extras that came with the farenheit 9/11 DVD? those guys were funny! the fact that thier humor was based in truth simply made it more funny.

and really, what is up with you can bash them in the privacy of your own home, but shouldn't bash them publicly? i, as one who has spent the last four years being told to shut-up, and recognizing that the next 4 years will be a continuation of that request, but much louder, find that i just won't shut my loud liberal mouth. and i probably never would have opened it in the first place, if there hadn't been someone telling me i couldn't.

the fundamentalist christians (with some exceptions) are the far right, or at least they are the base that is supporting the neocons in destroying democracy and our country.

nero reportedly fiddled while rome burned. i'm just going to laugh. "laughter," as the conservative reader's digest assures us, "is the best medicine." and while i don't buy into most of the other religious, wing-nut shit they spew, i do beleive they have that one honest thing in thier rag.

i don't know about you, but humor keeps me sane. nothing can't be laughed at.
