Canadian cogitations about politics, social issues, and science. Vituperation optional.
It has been educational as of late watching and following threads where the deluded try to defend their belief in magic. People with more patience and experience than I, when it comes to dealing with this level of supernovae-grade ignorance, carefully deconstruct the mendacity and obfuscation and gently tell the believers *exactly* how and why they are wrong. But today, is not the day for subtle deconstruction.
Let’s just cut to the chase today.

Just let me gently say in (OMGS, an echo of GOPness) it isn’t magic when a ‘god’ does it. It is only magic when a human woman-witch does it, and then you burn or drown the bitch for daring. Kind of like it isn’t illegal when the President does it, but if you or I tortured someone they have us in prison.

It would seem at times that applying the same standards to yourself that you do to your enemies is an obstacle to christian ‘morality’.

Oh, that I am….I just don’t call what THEY do “magic”. I specify what goes on my garden, too; not mere manure — but is it bullshit or batshit, for instance?

P.S. I don’t have any christian morality, so I don’t worry over much about obstacles thereunto.

P.P.S Besides, all those control freaks? If they don’t want hOMOsexual (good fucking grief!) kisses, consensual sodomy, etc, etc, etc….don’t HAVE it. Nobody is requiring those sweet Jesus lovers to marry anyone of either gender! There is nothing magical about that control freak shit — just stupidity and fear.

I’m sorry, I chose the wrong word tenses there – I didn’t mean to imply you did the christian thing. *eek*

LOL…eeek, indeed. I tried it once…I was operating under the apparently mistaken intellectual idea that it was a ‘given’ that the sillier shit was just stage dressing and not taken for real.
Boy, was I shocked….

Mmm…that must have been quite a shock to the ole’ brain-box.
My mother and I didn’t do the church thing and therefore missed out on all the soul crushing, life destroying mystical bullshite christianity brings to the table.

I was experimenting; my mother was non-religious till the first incoming round hit her foxhole. Me? I dropped belief in the Xian god after seeing misogyny in progress unstopped by religion.

Tooth filing might be a good strategy, nothing says leave me the frak alone like a sharpy-pointy malevolent grin.
