“Argh. You had to post this. I'm going to be irritated all day, now.

People take God just too darn seriously. He speaks to me and tells me that laughter is the holiest of all things.

Of course, he could be pulling my leg about that: you can never tell when he's joking - he's got a hell of a poker face.”

“I don't know ped. I think its high time people stop producing art that can be offensive to anyone. What's wrong with Norman Rockwell?”

“Isn't it amazing how many people beat up on their neighbors in the name of someone who told us to love our neighbors as ourselves?”

“Perhaps they don't treat themselves so hot.”

“Remember the hoo-haw over The Last Temptation of Christ? That movie was incredibly christian in it's moral and theme, but it took liberties with what Jesus might have thought while on the cross. Christian groups picketed it and had a fit, calling it blasphemous.

Amazing.”

“A local guitar player dude in college sang a song "F*ck 'Em if they can't take a Joke". ONe of my favorites.

Of course, he also sang "Plastic Jesus.....riding on the dashboard of my car....."”

“You've got a good point Viol man! My guide to life now has 529 items on it.

Ped's rule for living #529: Beware of self-flaggelating satispassion seeking penitents who practice the golden rule.”

“Hmmm smiley girl... mebbe I should wear a "F**k 'em if they can't take a joke T-shirt" and make passes at all the demonstrators.

Actually, I think I'm going to protest the protests by buying all my friends "Jesus Has Two Mommies" shirts and videotapes.”

“Ped, that just aint right. It aint Christian.”

“ Where'd the Italics come from? (turned 'em off). Actually the protests are bad for the show from what I here, it means that the newspapers are afraid to do reviews and positive notices have been cancelled. Two shows were just cancelled.”

“OK now I'm amused again.”

“Damn right, those people who can't laugh at themselves or religious or nigger jokes are going to haaaaaaiiiilllllll”

“Cain slew Abel Seth knew not why
For if the children of Israel were to multiply
Why must any of the children die?
So he asked the Lord
And the Lord said:

Man means nothing he means less to me
Than the lowliest cactus flower
Or the humblest Yucca tree
He chases round this desert
'Cause he thinks that's where I'll be
That's why I love mankind

I recoil in horror fro the foulness of thee
>From the squalor and the filth and the misery
How we laugh up here in heaven at the prayers you offer me
That's why I love mankind

The Christians and the Jews were having a jamboree
The Buddhists and the Hindus joined on satellite TV
They picked their four greatest priests
And they began to speak
They said, "Lord, a plague is on the world
Lord, no man is free
The temples that we built to you
Have tumbled into the sea
Lord, if you won't take care of us
Won't you please, please let us be?"
And the Lord said
And the Lord said

I burn down your cities-how blind you must be
I take from you your children and you say how blessed are we
You all must be crazy to put your faith in me
That's why I love mankind
You really need me
That's why I love mankind”

“Back from another cross burning Steve?”

“LOL!”

“I sure don't like you, Steve.”

“I don't even know what to say to that!!!!
