1009

Queenie:
It's never a good idea to alienate people because of their spirituality. Nothing good has ever come of it. But that's exactly what happens when a non-christian child is forced to endure a daily prayer to a fundamentalist god he does not believe in.

rOb!:
Yeah, well my 'one-ism' is that it's all a load of hooey.
(Tue Apr 10, 2001 - 1:44:09 pm)

Queenie:
My aunt is lutheran. I've never seen such an unhappy woman. I grew up baptist but I don't remember much about it - just silly sunday school lessons involving fables played out on felt boards with felt dolls.
(Tue Apr 10, 2001 - 1:44:51 pm)

rOb!:
Hmmm....that came out a little more mean than I had intended it to. My apologies.
(Tue Apr 10, 2001 - 1:44:55 pm)

Chewing Wax:
Babtist. No wonder.
(Tue Apr 10, 2001 - 1:45:34 pm)

rOb!:
Yeah!! I remember those felt boards. I used to get in trouble for....um, rearranging the characters in unholy positions.
(Tue Apr 10, 2001 - 1:45:49 pm)

Queenie:
Hey rOb, let's get together and make it a two-ism!
(Tue Apr 10, 2001 - 1:46:12 pm)

Queenie:
Although then we'd be an "organized religion" and I'm not really fond of them.
(Tue Apr 10, 2001 - 1:47:01 pm)

rOb!:
It's a done deal, Queenie. What shall we call our new two-ism? Can I be the God in our two-ism? I really want to be a God sometime before I die...
(Tue Apr 10, 2001 - 1:47:20 pm)

Queenie:
OK, you be god and I'll be high priestess.
(Tue Apr 10, 2001 - 1:48:29 pm)

Queenie:
Or I could be the virgin.
(Tue Apr 10, 2001 - 1:48:53 pm)

Queenie:
Unless you want to be the virgin.
(Tue Apr 10, 2001 - 1:49:20 pm)

rOb!:
Man, I never knew religion could be so easy or so fun! I guess I better get busy smiting people....
(Tue Apr 10, 2001 - 1:49:38 pm)

Architect 1 (non-mason):
"This is exactly the kind of philistine pig ignorance I've come to expect from people like you."
(Tue Apr 10, 2001 - 1:49:53 pm)

rOb!:
No, I think I'll pass on the virgin thing. I am, after all, God, and I have a reputation to uphold.
(Tue Apr 10, 2001 - 1:50:12 pm)

Queenie:
You can smite them, then I'll come along and heal them. We'll have this whole "good cop, bad cop" thing going. We're a shoo-in with the conservatives AND the minorities!
(Tue Apr 10, 2001 - 1:52:07 pm)

Queenie:
We'll call it "The Cult of the Sweet"
(Tue Apr 10, 2001 - 1:52:50 pm)

rOb!:
Don't make me open up a can o' smite on you, Architect 1. I am a jealous and vengeful God.
(Tue Apr 10, 2001 - 1:53:25 pm)

rOb!:
"The Cult of the Sweet," eh? I like it. It's got a nice ring to it.
(Tue Apr 10, 2001 - 1:54:11 pm)

Queenie:
Or we can call it Safety Dancists.
(Tue Apr 10, 2001 - 1:54:38 pm)

rOb!:
Commandment Number One: You can dance if you want to...
(Tue Apr 10, 2001 - 1:55:24 pm)

Queenie:
Unfortunately, The Partridge Family Temple is already taken.
(Tue Apr 10, 2001 - 1:55:48 pm)

Queenie:
Commandment Number Two: Your friends don't dance, and if they don't dance, their no friends of mine and shall be smote.
(Tue Apr 10, 2001 - 1:56:55 pm)

Queenie:
replace "their" with "they're"
(Tue Apr 10, 2001 - 1:57:11 pm)

rOb!:
If we play our cards right, we might just give the Church of the Sub-Genius a run for it's money.
(Tue Apr 10, 2001 - 1:57:28 pm)

rOb!:
I'm gonna like this whole smite/smote thing. Very machismo.
(Tue Apr 10, 2001 - 1:58:45 pm)

Queenie:
Boy, those army of god pro-life people are pretty nuts. I'm not a big fan of abortion myself, but they've made pro-life activism into an entire lifestyle. Freaks and murderers, they are. This is what doing things in the name of the lord gets you.
(Tue Apr 10, 2001 - 2:02:36 pm)

rOb!:
You don't have to tell me, Queenie. I do live in the BIBLE BELT, remember?
(Tue Apr 10, 2001 - 2:03:45 pm)

rOb!:
Heck, I live in the big, metallic Jesus buckle of the BIBLE BELT.
(Tue Apr 10, 2001 - 2:04:15 pm)

Queenie:
How fun for you! Are there any of Fred Phelps's folks out your way? They are gross people.
(Tue Apr 10, 2001 - 2:04:24 pm)

rOb!:
We've got one abortion clinic here in Greenville, and every day there are at least 250 people all standing in front of the door, holding the most disgusting pictures you could imagine. Pictures of aborted fetuses. They listen to no reason, and even attack the UPS man if he has to make a delivery there.
(Tue Apr 10, 2001 - 2:08:05 pm)

Queenie:
I saw those folks outside the planned parenthood clinic up the way. The signs were huge and full color. I thought to myself, "If I were a little kid, say four or five, seeing that picture would traumatize me FOR LIFE." Apparently they don't have much concern for the fetuses once they exit the womb.

rOb!:
The sad thing is, it's about four doors down from my favorite record shop, so whenever I go to buy some music, I can always hear them chanting.
