The Definitive MADhouse Quote Page.

[_Gadianton Plumber]

Let's be honest. We love the MADhouse. And why shouldn't we? It is a wonderful bin full of some of the nicest and looniest people you could ever hope to meet. From time to time, for those who bother reading the board, we find interesting tidbits. Some lend insight into the mopologetic mind, others are downright clever and funny (Nehor may be the best), and others are chilling.

I propose, therefore, a clearing house of sorts. If, in your journies, you find a particularly sparkly gem, place it on display here. You can comment on it or just let the word speak for themselves. I would love to have a collection available for future generations.

Enjoy!

ERayR:

Just a thought. He who chooses to live life by adherng to principles has an easy life because he who lives by principle has 99% of his choices already made.

Who's this "Obiwan" bumpkin?

To be fair though.... Really [Obama]'s more Marxist/Communist/Socialist/Liberal/Progressive than anything else.
His hatred of America and wanting to make it low comes more from that than anything else. He's mostly only Muslim because of how he was raised and his belief structures, not that he's entirely Muslim alone. So, I wouldn't be surprised if he said it in private to show that's who he is "inside", in contrast to what he shows on the outside.

Yeah, buddy, it's real even-handed to say that Obama probably isn't that Muslim because he's too much of a Marxist. Thanks for your level-headed contribution.

"The last time I saw stats (and it's been a while) children in interfaith marriages didn't choose religion at all let alone pick one. If your parents don't think it is important enough to back one religion then obviously neither one really matters." ~ Juliann, 6/6/2010

So, the only way I can communicate to my daughter that my religion matters is to stop bringing her to church with me and allow her to be raised exclusively in the LDS church.

Makes perfect sense.

"Whatever appears to be against the Book of Mormon is going to be overturned at some time in the future. So we can be pretty open minded."-charity 3/7/07

“I believe resurrected people… will be fully functional with regards to sex.”

“I just can’t see us standing around [in Heaven] doing nothing all day but playing the harp and eating at the buffet while never getting fat.”

“How is Christ historical if the Book of Mormon is allegorical or fraudulant?”

“God does justify killing others.”

“Ours is the only Christian doctrine that makes any Biblical sense.”

“True Christianity (LDS) will have it’s ups and downs but will survive as it has never been one of control or beholden to dogma that conflicts with science.”

“Liberals, socialists, marxist, feminists, homosexuals, pedophiles, Fatah, Hamas, Hizbollah, Al Qaida, antiMormons, Carter, Clinton, Johnson etc…”

“Ding dong the witch [Senator Ted Kennedy] is dead!”

“Of course now I’m free to teach that homosexuals are not normal healthy people without any opposition.”

There are just too many.

Wow, that is a very good one! I wonder if he at least blinked when he typed that.

Keep 'em coming!

"I am certainly not bothered at all by the very distinct possibility that Joseph incorrectly assumed that the name he had received by revelation (Shulem) was contained in the characters above the figure. After all, it is the text of the Book of Abraham that was always his primary focus. In my judgment, his work on the facsimiles was secondary in nature, and although he demonstrates definite strokes of inspiration in the process of working with them, I don't consider them of the same stature as the text of the Book of Abraham; I don't believe they were ever intended to be regarded as highly, and they probably should never have been included in the canon along with the text of Book of Abraham. At some point in the future, I wouldn't be surprised to see the "facsimiles" removed from the formal canon of the church."

Let's be honest. We love the MADhouse.

Being honest, I would say unequivocally that I do NOT love the MADhouse. In fact, "love" would be the last way to describe my opinion of that idiot's paradise. I literally haven't been there in years (since before it was changed from FAIR); masochism is not my thing.

(Nehor may be the best)

At what? Utter lunacy? Yeah, probably, although from what I've read on this thread, he's got some serious competition. If you enjoy reading arrogant, idiotic delusion in action, MAD is the place for you.

[_EAllusion]

I think ERayR's quote can be refined a little bit into something I agree with and regard as insightful. Overarching principles for behavior are an important heuristic tool that takes out the difficulty in trying to weigh the risks and benefits of every little decision detail by detail. It also reduces the chances of individual poor decision making by relying on already established wisdom about what is apt to work and not.

I'm willing to bet if we were to examine the content of ERayR's thought, the problem is more with what principles he chooses to adopt, why, and the unthinking attitude with which he holds them.
