| Some of those signs border on condemning and judging people and other
religions, which of course the bible tells you not to do. I saw sign in
Gainesville (which has a very backwoods, Deliverance attitude) and it said
something along the lines of "Believing Jesus isn't the son of god is like
believing your better than god" or something really stupid like that. I was
talking to my friend about this site and how we where discussing the signs
and bumper stickers and it ended up evolving into and argument (well not
really an argument, we both agreed) that the catholic church's attitude
towards interpreting the bible is sort of like what they where doing around
Martin Luthers time, but instead of keeping people from interpreting the
words themselves by keeping the bible in Latin, the church is just sort of
forcing there views down on people nowadays. Now I'm pretty well versed on
the Catholic church's actions with Martin Luther, and his subsequent
translation of the bible into German and mass production of it. But I'm not
to sure about how there acting right now, (in fact I know about as much
christian and catholic dogma as I know nuclear physics) but I'd like to
post it as a topic under the religion section. If somebody could correct me
or back me up so I know what I'm doing, I'd apreciate the help. ____________________

I was reading the bruce campbell book , and the WWJD thing sparked a memory
from that book of a bunch of gulf war soldiers hiding in a hole.
"there we were, the five of us in a godforsaken place, in a hole in the
sand, missles going off overhead, scared to DEATH...until a tired voice in
the back of our platoon questioned aloud 'I wonder what bruce campbell
would do?'"
When I see WWJD I think (pronounced in the mexican HEYSOOS, of course)
"take a fucking siesta, that's what"
Seeming how none of the bible was written with jesus as the narrator, you
wouldn't know what he'd REALLY do, just what the apostles would IMAGINE
he'd do.
He seems to be a pretty laid back, if misguided guy, if you ask me. What
would he do? Kick up his sandals on that nice table he made when he was 10,
spark up some of that fine middle eastern marijuana that I've heard my
brother rave about, and say "can't we all just get along?"
It's a fine idea, this WWJD, mind you, but horridly horridly flawed.
I REALLY REALLY hate those jesus fish's with TRUTH written inside eating a
darwin fish....truth...uh huh, if you say so. Whatever helps you get up in
the morning. ____________________

| I'll tell you what bruce campbell would do, he'd grab an S mart
double-barelled shotgun, put some 2-stroke fuel in his chainsaw and bust
some fucking Iraq ass. It would be all like, "Saddam, there is someone here
to see you" and Capbell would bust out from a closet or some shit and kick
Saddam in the ass and he'd be all "Swallow this you son of a bitch!" and
pow mutha-fucka! Then he'd get covered in black goo, and Ted Raimi would
show up for no reason. The end. ____________________

| Now that of course depends on what campbell youve got. If (this ones for
the Bruce Campbell afiicianato) you got him during Brisco County Jr. then
he'd have Bowler shoot his ass with that little blunder bust shotgun, and
Bruce would go and steal Saddam's Orb, er um, Nuclear weapons. ____________________

Campbell fan to another, but If I've said it once, I've said a million

Well well, Schizo: If there is someone here who could turn into a fine
Catholic that's you. I say so because you are ready to READ all that there
is to be read to become a serious cath.
I have always thought the real problem with the hierarchy of my church is
that our faith is so "universal", it has to encompass so many different
people, that many times it seems contradictory. The Catholic church must
have answers for the clever and the silly, the intelligent and the dumb,
the unrest and the restful, the individualist and the gregarious and, why
not to say so, the sheep and the shepard.
The real problem is there are SO MANY sheep, so many people who just want
to be told what to do so they can follow those instructions and go to
heaven, and so very little shepards that it seems that all Catholics do is
follow orders when, in truth, it has one of the most advanced theologies of
all Christianity (being modest). You just have to read the small writing in
the documents, in the Cathecism, and specially remember the Straight
Conscience thing (from Trent). Then you get to be what I consider a real
Christian: one who thinks for himself AND hears the words of others who
spend their lives trying to unveil God's will
I have read some things from pentecostal churches. They are biblically
debatable, to say the least, but then again everything is.
As for the Mass in Latin, I am afraid we don't do that anymore since
Vatican II but in special occasions and special churches. The closest thing
I could offer you, and which I believe you would like almost the same, is
the Taizé community (that's not a Catholic idea, of course). Take a look at
www.taize.fr, believe you can download some music from there. If you are
lucky and you go talk to the people in the Taize Welcome closer to you, you
might even manage a free trip to France (if so get Easter so we can meet!!)

Hey, Monolycus , actually Orthodox Catholics beat Roman Catholics
by far when it comes to pomp and circumstance. My, I just love their
ceremonies, they are so good to get a mystic mood!

Of course if we are talking about the Bruce Campbell Xena period Bruce
would have to pop off a whitty phrase while trying to steal Sadamms Nukes,
but than have trouble with it, and suddenly be taken over by the spirit of
Xena at which point he would do a Xena yell in a high squeaky voice, do a
double back super high jump and then kick Sadamms as and take the nukes,
all in time to get Xena's body back and safe from the evil gods....and Ted
Rami would show up for no reason....
I spent a year teaching music in a catholic school. It was kinda fun to
walk into school everyday with my pentacle ducked out of sight and teach
music. I was surprised when in my fifth grade music class we were discusing
the music of Hildegard of Bingen (The Hymns for the 11,000 Virigins of St.
Ursula). While talking about St. Ursula and her martyerdom, one of my
students raised his hand and asked "What is a martyer?"

Damn it Arthegarn! Why do you always have to tempt me with ways I can go
to Europe! I know if I go I will never come back - I've had a love affair
with Western Europe my entire life! But alas, I am a family woman, and
while having a family brings a lot of richness to my life, it DOES restrict
travel to the point that it's almost impossible.
*sigh* France...
I guess I kind of knew that Catholics don't really do Latin masses anymore.
It's a bummer. Latin's so beautiful. And then I wouldn't have to listen
to someone else preaching, just sit there and soak up the beauty and
worship God according to my own conscience.
But I would never go to the Catholic church here in town. It's beautiful -
all built of fieldstone, but 2 priests in the past, I don't know, 20 years
or so, have been caught up in this whole sex-abuse scandal, and it kind of
makes you feel creepy. Besides, it's such a small town that, if I once
went to that church, the whole town would be gossiping about it for half of
forever. Stupid small-town mentality.

Not too long ago, I saw a sign that said "Knock it off -God"
A few things bothered me about it, though I did truly appreciate the
creativity and tongue in cheek aspect of it. Was that sign telling us to
knock it off or telling him?
The other thing that bothered me was, if it was "from him" the first time
he told people to knock it off, he drowned 'em, I think he started burning
them right around there...if this god guy wasn't such a dick, me and him
would prolly get along pretty well.
In any case it took me almost three days of night-time ops to knock it
down and burn it. ____________________

When I was a teenager, my church almost decided to paint on their sign,
"Come as you are, go as He is." I was intensely relieved when they decided
not to. Nothing like a trite and catchy oversimplification to blind the
poor worldling's eyes to the vast complexities of near cultism lurking
within.
It should have read, "Come as you are, go thinking you are as He is, and on
the way, try to remember that our founder was a prophet and we should
interpret the Bible exactly the way he said we should, even when it makes
absolutely no sense."
Hey! That gives me an idea! We should get a law passed that makes
churches post signs that ACTUALLY describe what they're going to be trying
to teach you!

| Then wouldn't all the signs read, "Take the miss-translated words of a
Roman family, alow a third party to preach it the way he thinks it should
be interpreted, and hold these silly things as the utmost truth." ____________________

Something along those lines, but a little more specifically tailored for
each specific church. They all have their own weird twist.

Hooray!!! I'm a "fanatic" again! They changed the system while I was
gone, and demoted me to mere "member", but I've regained my position! And
how appropriate to become a "fanatic" in the religious forums!

Anyone here seen the episode in which Homer thought God was a waffle stuck
to the ceiling?
Homer wouldn't stop talking to the waffle and Marge walkings in saying
"Homer, that's not god, that's a waffle Bart threw up there" and knocks
down the sticky, disgusting, crust infested waffle with a broom into Homers
hands.
She walks away and Homer looks at the waffle saying "I know I shouldn't eat
thee but...", takes a bite from the waffle and says "mmmm, sacrilicious."
This thread reminded me of the episode. ____________________

Squire, you wanna talk pathetic, my idea of a good time is getting loaded
and watching evil dead, evil dead II, and army of darkness all night...and
i've done it too many times to count *lol* For real. Michael's concerned
about me and my evil dead fixation....
"WE WILL SWALLOW YOUR SOUL!"
*KABOOM*
"lady, I'm gonna have to ask you to leave the store"
"Who the fuck are you?!"
"name's ash. Houeswares."

I'm not a smart man. I've never written the great American novel. I can't
figure out the unified theory of physics. I have no idea what makes a
toaster spring up, or how it knows when the toast is done. But there is one
thing I know: Getting wasted and watching the finest movie trilogy ever
created is not pathetic! Ignoring Bruce's natural good looks, those movies
pack more fun, comedy, romance, inventive camera angles, and "hey, how many
times has he shot that double barreled shotgun and not reloaded? like five"
moments than any other films my puny mind can recall. I say super glue his
eyes open and force him to watch the trilogy back to back, uncut, with the
second AOD ending, for 7 weeks straight. Eventually he will either fall in
love with Campbell and Raimi's masterpiece, or die of starvation and T.V.
radiation poisoning. But thus is the sacrifices of the Evil Dead. Rock on,
and remeber the right words!
P.S. Ted Raimi just showed up out of no where! ____________________

| And on the subject of pathetic lives, check my evenings: Go home, play GTA
3, pick one of Evil Dead movies and watch it (this of course can't be done
with a friend, they will hit you for saying all the lines befores their
spoken in the film), then log onto the internet and listen to the theme
song to Cheers and try and find 8mm cameras on Ebay. Of course I go here
for about 3 hours and write trite little comments to things I don't
understand, and fall asleep with my cloths on. Sometimes I clean my guns.
