Hammer's posts, while virulent, are too ridiculous to be hard hitting. His hammering is utterly ineffectual. I believe his moniker to be a misnomer.

If he must use the moniker "Hammer", his avatar should be:

What does he do with that handle?

I spent most of my free time in Utah's deserts, i.e "Colorado Plateau". The Mormons do not rule there, The real Prophet one needs to follow
is Edward Abbey there. But it takes some interest and education to know about it.

Naw...Hold on...Do not even disparage the quality of life in Utah.
It's a great State to live. Mormons think they own it but ants & worms think they they own my house too.


You keep the Mormons and the Mountain West (I've lived in the West). I'll keep my Southern comfort. Anyone want some cold ice tea? :)

Maybe he calls himself that because he owns several pair of those awesome puffy pants.

Hey Jason,

Hammer is a bit extreme and nuts. I think he represents few TBMs.


Perhaps but the underlying belief is alive and well.

The belief that if something "bad" happens God is punishing someone for their sin, if something "good" happens God is blessing her/him for their righteousness.

(But of course if something good happens to a bad person, or something bad happens to a good person, then it becomes a test).

;-)
