opebo Week: A Celebration of His Life & Times

[I spent the winter writing songs about getting better]

While Joe Republic is an exception to this, it's hilarious to see most of the Obepo haters attack his simple, if wrongheaded, defenses of child abuse, while they simultaneously literally worship at the alter of organizations that have systematically enganged in and covered up such behavior since time immemorial. Perhaps if we can simply buy Obepo a cassock, he will not only be reinstated but also have statues of him built so that future generations may know him also.

The clergy needs to be purged. The fact that the largest Christian denomination, for one, has yet to properly embark upon this mission is a disgrace. Many people happen not to have switches in their heads regulating their beliefs that they can simply turn on and off in response to that fact. Which is part of why the clergy needs so badly to be purged.

I'm a bit lost about the switch part.

What I meant was that we can't just choose to stop holding Christian beliefs as a response to the problems that Christian institutions have. We may lose faith as a response to those problems, but that isn't, typically, voluntary.

But I think this should at least put into perspective the mindset of people who claim they believe in Jesus but not organized religion, things like that.

So how about this? One of the first posts in Update, and oh damn definitely one of the best:

No, no, no.  If you are a poor, and you have a job at the Electric Company, you stay there, and say 'yes sir' and 'no sir, and just batten down the hatches and wait.  It will all be over soon enough.  No need to rush it by getting conned up the a**s by some Kiwi b******s and ending up living under a bridge.

Seriously, I know poors who work at the Power Company (true they're from the previous unionized generations so they made $70,000/year, but still), and they survived.  Every one of them - and they will get to die in hospitals with medical treatments.  Yes, Public Utilities are not government jobs, but they're the next best thing.

Is it just me, or is jmfcst making less and less sense with each post he makes?

Yep.  This thread is just spam.

I'm pretty sure its a reference to opebo's "choo choo train to theocracy" quote.

That was a priceless post, if I do say so myself.

However, keep in mind that choo choo trains are really all that jmfcst, the cultist, has talked about for months now.  Seems the prude is obsessed with phallic objects going into tunnels... perhaps sexual frustration has driven him round the bend.

Get it?  Round the bed.. choo choo trains?  heh.

His base will simply freeload like they always do. Miss 32 year old power lawyer working 80 hours a week will pay for it.

Haha, well discouraging the behavior of being a lawyer will certainly be a positive side-effect!

However, don't feel too bad, krazen - all those 'freeloaders' will also be working 80 hours per week, cleaning up the garbage or frying chicken or something like that.  So, your 'everybody is miserable' goal will be more than fulfilled.
