Yes, this 'blogger' space sucks. 200 comment limit, a load more button that doesn't work, and zero customer support.
So here it is again, room for 200 more. I'll answer Eric's last post here:
Bad doubts come from pride, or from laziness, while good doubts come from a sincere effort to understand or to seek solutions to one's problems.
----------------
Bad doubts? That come from pride?
Pride doesn't cause doubt, you ninny. Pride causes blind belief. Doubt comes from the recognition that all is not right in the religion, that it is not logically consistent, truthful, or indeed, even probable.. And that's always good doubt. Doubts are never bad. One either realizes they were without basis, or that they were. Either way, the truth is found.
To an idiot in a dress, er, a priest, all doubts of faith, are from pride, because to that idiot anyone that doubts the dogma does so in pride, 'thinking they know better than me and the whole church, pfft!' Unless they're silly tame doubts about fine points of the religion, doubts that do not endanger the faith (blind belief) of the person. Those are no doubt, your 'good doubts' there. Doubts that do not lead to mental liberation, are your 'good' doubts.
I find your answer offensive. Not because you try to offend. Because your belief system is offensive to all rational thinking beings.

Just another 200 comments...
A new post so that we can continue the conversation without all the hassle.
(I will eventually get around to *writing* actual *new* posts, someday)

Humility
Aside from the obvious need to revise this blog every 200 comments, I also have a small thing to say.
Tonight I was pondering why I take Pliny seriously.
No, that's not meant the way it sounds.
When he speaks, I tend to take him, above many others, very seriously.
When I realized the reason why, it rather appalled me. Or rather, my ego. Which hey, is me.
I tend to listen to Pliny because every time he says something important to *anyone,* he always says it with an incredible amount of humility.
That got me to thinking.
I preach a lot about humility, don't I?
I just never saw the ability of real humility to pierce barriers before.
Shit.
I need some work.
Okay, that's all for now. Go on with the usual stuff.
Oh, and I'm sorry I tend to be a jerk sometimes. I'll work on it.
Peace.
Oh, and Pboy, wtf is wrong with you? Or is that me? Anyhow, prodigal son, come home and I'll slay the fatted calf and you can have your sister if you can get her drunk enough.
(Just wanted to keep this Biblically accurate and all)

The Lucky Negro
Just a short post this time.
This situation with Gignritch and Romney is very interesting. It seems to me that they are almost unbelievaly starting to destroy the eventual primamry winner's chances in the general election. All the while, Obama is starting to rise, or perhaps I should say, rise faster since he has been rising a bit in recent weeks...
What I particularily like is how the two of them, Fatso and Ken, are making each other look so amazingly incompetent. Moon bases and an eventual Lunar State, claiming the moon basically for the US? All that is going to do with your base of bottom-feeding vindictive ignoramuses is infuriate them! They HATE science! And now they think that you're a total flake! Which, hey, you are!
Or would you prefer the Incredile Plastic Man with the ever-shifting stance on every issue that exists, who couldn't personify the uncaring rich more if he wore a monacle and a top hat? His version of 'I feel your pain' is 'I feel the pain of all those poor corporate people, who are more people than real people are, making their pain so much worse!'
Plus, both of them are lying and getting caught in lies here, each and every day, which eventually even percolates down through a christian mind shield if it's apparent and obvious enough. Which these are. Right now, the two of them both look like screaming liars and utter hypocrites. More so than usual even, I mean.
Plus plus, and to me this is the sweetest part, the economy is improving in spite of all the best (worst) efforts of the republicans to keep it in a stinking mess!
And if that is happening, noody's going to come close to Obama in the general. They'll have no chance.
How did Barack Hussein Obama ever get so lucky?
Anyhow, assuming that Obama wins again, can you even *imagine* the rage and frustration on the religious right? They'll be gnawing off their own feet! The whole tea party will dissolve down into a pool of it's own rancid venom...
I can't wait!

Santorum Saturates Iowa!
Dan Savage was brilliant, as it turns out, to make 'santorum' mean 'ass juice.'
There's just so many possibilities!
*****
Santorum is running somewhere between Romney and Gingritch...
Santorum surges... explodes in Iowa...
Santorum comes from behind. (Simple, yet elegant)
Santorum has unexpected burst
Santorum bottoms out
Santorum campaign leaks to press
Santorum Smears Romney's Magic Underwear
Santorum streaming video
Santorum in bed with Big Oil
Evangelical voters satisfied with Santorum
Santorum offices evacuate lower level
Marcus Bachmann prefers Santorum to Bush
Santorum dips in polls (homonymously cute, no?)
Barney Frank blasts Santorum!
(I have to credit my wife for that one)
Also:
Great name for a Gay Bar: "The Sanctum Santorum"
BADUMP-BUMP!
