The Religion Thread

[billy.pilgrim]

Here's a nice story about Christian socialists and how they lived true Christian values in their time. It sure is amazing how "Christians" have strayed from their path and still brazenly dare to call themselves righteous. A scandal of biblical proportions they smugly ignore.

I thought it was charlatans who created god and it was scientists who evolved independently.

Yeah, it would definitely result in a rant about leftists and fudge and some idiotic reference to his fealty to trump and he'd throw in something about the impeachment of his idol and how it was all a hoax and how Democrats forced trump to break the law and fuck the country. He'd also work into it something about women who choose to have an abortion. But never in hell will he admit or address how his Christian cult has gone off the rails of what it started out as and what it was meant to be. Instead he will post a stupid comment about pollen or light jackets or post some other totally fucked up nonsense. Stand by.

Former Obama adviser Rahm Emanuel repeated his “never let a crisis go to waste” catchphrase while discussing the coronavirus pandemic.

Well, far be it for me to support Catpan, but Rahm did say something similar but not identical to that. The context however was that a crisis can give one to do things one might otherwise not think possible, such as to use the urgency that the chaos a crisis creates to make improvements to the processes and infrastructure to prevent a recurrence.

Yeah, you can pretty much count on 1cat to lie about everything. I guess I'll never understand how some seem to be able to hold their view of something in spite of reality.

https://www.washingtonpost.com/opinions ... -go-waste/

"The United States was careening toward a global depression when President Barack Obama named me his first chief of staff, and in those dark days, I uttered a phrase that’s followed me ever since: “Never allow a good crisis go to waste. It’s an opportunity to do the things you once thought were impossible.”
Today, faced with another crisis, we need to think strategically not only about how to address the virus but also about how the United States can come out stronger on the other side. We all know this won’t be the last time we confront a pandemic. But it should be the last time a public health emergency provokes an economic depression. We need to prepare for tomorrow, starting today."


I was almost never an Obama fan, but damn hearing any of them speaking now brings back memories of a government that wasn't all about personal profits and wealth.

Yeah, I see why 1cat had to lie, the truth wasn't useful.

The cat pan is famous for taking something, anything, or everything out of context and bleating it out as something completely different from its original meaning. This tactic is very handy in justifying self righteous hypocritical behavior, especially with regard to religion. It also serves to provide false confidence in one's political choices while at the same time serving as some sort of pseudo affirmation to the simple minded that they are right and everyone else is wrong.

[Vrede too]

To be fair, 1 FAT CAN is too lazy and slow to look something up and then distort its context. Instead, s/he is so gullible and is such a lousy investigator that when s/he reads something that some other right-wing liar has spewed, 1 FAT CAN regurgitates it without question.

Anyhow, PINO has done exactly the opposite through his slashing of preparation, indecisive slowness to take action, incompetence and lies. This crisis is lost to him, at the cost of thousands or tens of thousands of American lives. 1 FAT CAN doesn't care, that's how much s/he worships 45SHOLE and hates America.

Yeah, he's still on his thing about how Democrats tried to deny help for workers even after you and I both explained to him that what the Democrats did was force the GOP to account for how the corporate handouts will be handed out. So he's evidently swallowed whole whatever Fox or other nutjob outlet has said and dutifully parrots it as if it were actually true. Lazy and stupid have always made a fine pair.

I see Little Lulu and her band of retirees are full of crap as usual. A Dem said it “Never allow a good crisis go to waste." Nothing more than a Dem extortion tactic.

Looks like your dumbass got caught in another lie.

You sound like a child having having a temper tantrum unhappy with birthday presents.

“Never allow a crisis to go to waste,” Emanuel said.

Been busy performing public service, you know, people risking their lives while non-essentials are quarantined at home such as yourself and Little Lulu.

What? Were you on the detail assigned to rent $45,000 worth of golf carts for the next trump lunacy act? Or are you on special security detail at the local Wal Mart to ensure folks stay six feet apart? Or are you assigned to one of those thousands of drive up testing centers at Walgreens and CVS that trump lied about (because they don't exist) a couple of weeks ago? I realize all this stuff is terribly dangerous, but I also realize that true public servants NEVER bleat, squawk, quack, or brag that they're "risking our lives" to serve. Alleged public servants that would do such a thing as brag about their service are the same type of "religious" people who brag about how religious they are and how deficient everyone else is. But that's how those alleged self proud drunk public service workers and religious hypocrites roll. You have a nice day, now.

Whatever one says or believes about us, even if all true, how miserable must be the life of the person that visits just to boast to us about how special they are and:

You have any idea how many of your posts are just generic taunting? Whether it's sports, politics, religion, whatever, you post only taunts. Why don't you occasionally pick something you'd like to talk about and maybe you would get better responses and less ridicule.

Immature 'nyah, nyah, nyah' is all s/he's got, this time stupidly that ...

Who said anything about bragging? Nothing has changed because of some virus, public servants have been putting on the uniform way before that.

Who said anything about bragging? Uh, let's see......why, that would be YOU. You bragged about being out doing public service work and concurrently implied that those of us who were not out doing that were "non essential" persons. Are you really that fucking stupid that you actually don't realize how you come across to people who are not as gullible and simple minded as you? You know what I'm gonna brag about? I'm gonna brag that I am nowhere near as goddamn fucking stupid as you are. Actually, that's not bragging. Most junior high kids could say the same when they compare themselves to you. They, and most of us, know that you're not really essential or even close to it. You have a nice day.
