  "Davey and Goliath" contrasted with "Sophie and Caleb's" indoctrination. 1950s and 1960s Sunday Christian TV vs the Cult.

  "i do not mean by a christian any person who tries to live decently according to his lights.

  i think that you must have a certain amount of definite belief before you have a right to call yourself a christian.

  the word does not have quite such a full-blooded meaning now as it had in the times of st. augustine and st. thomas aquinas.

  Great Defense Strategy:
  Q- Why did you participate in barbarities such as slaughter, rape, theft, arson, and pillage against a rival tribe?
  A- Because it wasn't barbaric at the time? Actually, your honor, in my defense, the term "Barbaric" is derived from the Latin root word for "bearded ones", and, since Latin wasn't invented yet, I cannot be tried for "barbarism", since such a term did not exist in my day.
  Q. Who prepared your defense? Freddie Franz?

  One quote that stood out for me:
  
  "Granted, sometimes even decent people do get sucked into a sort of text worship that I call bibliolatry, and Bible worship can make a person’s moral priorities as archaic and cruel as those of the Iron Age tribesmen who wrote the texts. (I once listened, horrified, while a sweet, elderly pair of Jehovah’s Witnesses rationalized the Old Testament slaughter of children with the same words Nazis used to justify the slaughter of Jewish babies.)"

  Crisis Of Conscience In Audio Format?

  by dubstepped in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  i'm just wondering if the book is available to be listened to in any format?

  i know that it can be found online and read freely, and i've been through some of it, but i just wondered if it was available in any other way.

  i guess it would be lacking some of the copies of articles and such that were in the original book, but it would still be interesting.

  If you have not seen this movie yet, and plan on it, then do not read this post, as it contains a major plot element:
  
  Please read the transcript of the following speech that Valentine (the villain of the movie) gives to the chosen survivors of his plan to wipe out most of humanity in order to save planet Earth:
  
  

  [Valentine notices the people in the party room looking gloomy]

  Valentine: The f---'s wrong with them?

  Gazelle: I don't know. Could be something to do with the mass genocide.

  Valentine: Give me the mic.

  [Gazelle hands Valentine a microphone. Valentine stands up]

  Valentine: Hey all! Everybody listen up! What the f--- is wrong with you people? I just want to remind you all that today is a day of celebration! We must put aside all thoughts of death, and focus on birth! The birth of a new age! We mustn't mourn the ones who give their lives today. We should honor their sacrifice, and their role in saving the human race. We must put aside doubts and guilt. You are the chosen people! When folks tell their kids the story about Noah's Ark, is Noah the bad guy?

  [Crowd says NO!]

  Valentine: Is God the bad guy?

  [Crowd says NO!]

  Valentine: How about the animals marching two by two?

  [Crowd says NO!]

  Valentine: Of course not! Yeah, that's it! Let's turn those frowns upside down. Eat, drink, and paaaaarty!
  
  Doesn't this sound eerily similar to the talks we have heard about surviving Armageddon, and how, even though we will be saddened by all the deaths, we will also be so HAPPY to have survived?

  MAD MAX FURY ROAD

  by TerryWalstrom in

  i went to see the new mad max movie last night: "fury road.".

  this post-apocalyptic world is not recycled gray, it is blazingly colorful australian desert terrain with wide shots that will stop your heart.have you ever seen an heironymous bosch painting of hell with its where's waldo panoply of brutish, demonic, figures inflicting torments willy-nilly as far as the eye can see?

  well, fury road makes bosch look like a knit-one-purl-two doily maker at a sunday brunch.. director miller has thought about this movie, planned it, sketched it, worked it, perfected it millisecond by millisecond before scene one was ever shot.one second of onscreen activity has more interesting business happening than two hours spent by a voyeur in a nudist colony of playboy bunnies.. what is watching this film all about?

  I amazed that in all the reviews I have read, no one, I mean NO ONE, has mentioned the tribute to "The Cars that Ate Paris" that is in the first part of this movie. A tip of the hat from one Aussie filmmaker to another, I suppose.
