Exactly.

For a vicious, unethical Mopologist hack such as myself, there can never be too many hatchets.


Jesus must be very proud of you..
God has the right to create and to destroy, to make like and to kill. He can delegate this authority if he wishes to. I know that can be scary. Deal with it.

Were I to believe in the Jesus myths you might actually be close to making a point..But I don't.

Were you to make even minimal sense, you might actually be close to making a point. But you don't.

Claims that we ignore substance and concentrate instead on personalities are not only false but, ironically and shamefully, are themselves brazen attempts to deflect attention from the substance we provide in order to focus on the alleged defects of our personalities.

I wanted the critics who repeat that brain-dead mantra about the nasty FARMSboys to have to stretch themselves -- by thinking.
