The Winking Witch from Wasilla practices a brand of Christianity with which I am unfamiliar.

While Joe Biden is occupied with burying a beloved family member, Palin is inciting a crowd of partisan jackasses into booing the mention of his name. Jesus may love you, Sarah, but the rest of us think that you eat shit!

talking about that kind of religion. It wasn't a compliment. I don't think they understand it, though. :shrug:

Remember the YouTube video?

So, you'll need a word other than "witch."

Hmmm ... John McCain has lots of colorful words for women in his vocabulary ... maybe he can help.

worth raising the doubt: "Did the witch doctors prayers really work?" Apparently not, loos like SP is still evil-possessed!

who bring untold hardships to older often widows in Africa.

:yourock: I'm filing that one away for future use. :hi:

Our main tenet is "An (if) it harm none, do as thou wilt." The key part being HARM NONE. This b**** is chock FULL o' harm.

Some of us do not appreciate it.

....Lipstick!

That's funny!

...choice. My daughter has her own business with 30 employees and she is voting straight democratic. I am so proud of her :kick: :loveya:

:hi:

because that looks pretty typical of vocal overt Christians to me. The (literally) holier than thou judgmentalism of us vs. them is an integral part of a religion which posits some people in paradise and others in torment, and this comes through loud and clear to me even from many who are far less openly antagonistic. How else could it be when only some will be saved? Since when did anyone count themselves amongst the certainly damned and praise those who disagree with them as the certain elect? Isn't it always the other way round?

"Since when did anyone count themselves amongst the certainly damned and praise those who disagree with them as the certain elect? Isn't it always the other way round?"

So the reciprocal of your question is: Since when did anyone count themselves amongst the perhaps saved and curse those who disagree with them as the certainly damned?

Indeed!!!

Again being a nonbeliever I may be more prone to seeing the worst of believers than those who simply disagree on doctrinal details, although given the popularity of Chick Tracts amongst certain Protestant denominations it may not be by much. However it's fair to say all but perhaps two of the literally hundreds, nay thousands, of Christian opinions I have come across in online, in person and written debates consider me to be certainly damned unless I change my opinion. NONE - not one - has EVER considered themselves to be certainly damned unless they change theirs (this is perhaps not as accusatory as it may seem, since anyone who both believed in damnation and considered themselves headed there unless they recanted would naturally enough, just go ahead and recant). Some - but a minority - have considered themselves potentially saved. The majority have been certain of their own ticket to paradise. Some of that majority might have remembered to add weasel words about this salvation being only the grace of God and not to their credit, but how realistic is that modesty when I am certainly damned in their eyes if I disagree with their beliefs? Even if God is the saving agent not themselves, the preening that they have had the good sense to make the right decision about believing in him is an inescapable and requisite part of the whole idea of non-universal salvation.

Which brings me to the two. They were convinced that unconditional universal salvation is a necessary component of an omnibenevolent omnipotent god. Logically, they must be right. Theologically they are a tiny minority. Universal salvation itself is a tiny minority, but those who believe that universal salvation is unconditional, contemporaneous and without interim punishment are a tiny minority of a tiny minority.


EVERY other Christian - by definition - believes in a segregated us and them in which they are part of the superior "us". These may range from the fundies who think all but a perfect (in their eyes) tiny elect get to fry to the liberal Christians who believer all will see God eventually, but that people like me must suffer and be cleansed first, with literally millions of possibilities in between, but each and every one of the believers in ANY salvationary religion, including but not limited to Christianity, has as a sine qua non characteristic an opinion on who gets to be saved and when, and who doesn't make the cut. Hard for them to then accept the view that all are equal when a perfect god says otherwise.

Worst scum on earth. They were big news in the '80s in Lebanon, which was no mean feat back then.

I was flabbergasted, she could have said a word of condolence to the Biden family, SOMETHING.... I really think this woman is made of stone.

But then again, she didn't know about the death in the family, since she doesn't read SQUAT

your behavior to the standards that other lower beings do.

I know people are trying to avoid **BITCH**, but the real Sarah is involved with people who are waging an inquisition of sorts in Africa and are chomping on the bit to import it here. It's like laughing at Hitler for being a lousy painter. She is dangerous.

I do take offense at the OP.

But I call myself a neopagan mystic instead of a witch. Now a 'witch' can be a Wiccan with no visualization powers.

Your true ones with the powers associated in the past with 'witches' are usually green/hazel eye females, with one around with equivalent psychic power for every male with a lot of power in the physical world. There's always balance around. They bring instant karma to others around them, which usually isn't a lot of fun for egotistical power mongers at all. That's where they got the bad name but they aren't 'evil' or 'evil' thinkers at all.
