This type of "large group" irrational behavior is not uncommon, even in
our country.

Look at the "race riots" in the 1960s. Black people were so incensed
by their mistreatment that they....burned their own neighborhoods and
businesses to the ground.


look at the riots that occur after major sporting events...




Actually, it was Earl Pitts who noticed that soccer was a form of Devil
worship:

1) Soccer was introduced in the US about the time that prayer was taken out
of the schools. Coincidence? I think not.

2) Soccer denies children the use of their God-given hands.

3) The constant pounding of soccer balls on heads causes brain damage and
leaves people more susceptible to the Devil.

4) All the countries that are good at soccer (where they deceitfully call it
"football") are full of godless Communists, liberals, and/or Catholics.

5) Soccer balls got them pentagrams printed all over them.

Earl Pitts -- whatever happened to him?


He still writes a monthly column that appears in my monthly newsletter
from my electric company. I don't know what else he is up to. He's a
hoot for sure.

If we respond passively to attack, we are doomed to choose between
death and slavery.

Responding to attacks with INADEQUATE violence is what leads to a life
of war.

There was no fourth Punic War.

Nonsense. Even the Moslems haven't killed as many people as Stalin or Pol
Pot, and those guys were atheists.

If atheism is a religion, then not collecting stamps is a hobby.

Being an athiest takes work and commitment. You have to be offended
any time you see a religous symbol. You have to seek out the faithful
and insult and denegrate them.


Huh? Being an athiest requires not believing in god. It is being an
activist that takes work and commitment.

Being passionate about God is a religion, no matter how many Gods you
think there might be, from zero to Olympus.


Uh, no again. Being passionate may make you an activist. The two are
not related at all.

Scientologists don't
believe in God or Gods, and they're a religion.


No, they're a scam with tax benefits.

Not collecting stamps is more like not caring if there's a God. Call
us Apathists.


Strike three, but if you'd like to slice some hairs (which are sometimes
worth slicing), my particular dissection is:

theist: Believes that god exists.
nontheist: Does not believe that god exists.
athiest: Believes that god does not exist.
agnostic: Is not sure that the gods of any existing religions are real.

evangelical: one who promotes their beliefs attempting to convince
others to "see the light". These beliefs may be religious or otherwise;
though the word has religious connotations it can be aptly used for any
set of beliefs.

activist: one who fights for the rights of a particular group, whether
it be a religious group or not.

You do, of course, know about the dilemma of the dyslexic, agnostic
insomniac, don't you?

He lies awake in bed all night wondering whether or not there is a Dog.
