"Too" refers to both parties suffering. By specifying that the woman "actually experienced" it, and Christ "vicariously" experienced it, I distinguished between the manner in which each party suffered. The manner in which each party suffered, which I distinguished in the statement that you are yourself raping beyond recognition, is what you have misrepresented for God knows how many pages now, and led to the beautiful, reverent imagery you suggested of trillions of penises penetrating the Only Begotten Son of God.

Oh, good. It should be turning up in use by people besides you in no time.

And, by the way, Jesus has a sense of humor.


“Lesson 47: Clean and Appropriate Speech,” Aaronic Priesthood Manual 2

“Some demonstrate or express a personal weakness when they tell jokes or stories about the body and its functions, when they joke about or make suggestive comments concerning women or girls, when they are casual about sacred things. …

“Some contribute to this personal weakness when they read or experience filthy magazines, vulgar movies or television shows, or remain in a group where unclean discussions occur. Each of these kinds of experiences will weaken any spirit, will make it less able to withstand ‘the fiery darts’ of the adversary.”

Yeah, Simon-boy -- the God of the Old testament is nothing but a no good murderer. There is no sense of humor found therein. He is a killer and wants nothing but to slice the throat of those who disobey him. Well, I say -- let him come and try and slice my throat. Let him slice your throat too. The God of the Old Testament is evil and full of every devilish trick. I will slice his throat and leave him for dead. Ha ha ha aha ah!

Crucify the bastard!

I can't speak for Simon, but there is that one example where Jesus plays on the word Peter.
That's General Leo. He could be my friend if he weren't my enemy.

The dictator would often break from the serious nature of waging his campaign to “pull the legs” of his entourage of generals and hangers on.

His favourite victim was the Luftwaffe chief Herman Goering, who was notoriously fond of awarding himself medals and decorations.

Hitler recounted how Mrs Goering found her husband waving a baton over his underwear in the bedroom and asked him what he was doing.
“He replied: “I am promoting my underpants to OVERpants”", Hitler then joked.

Sure. I don't see why not. In fact, I'll go as far as to say that a faithful member could criticize apologists--something they are not supposed to do to prophets and general authorities.


*whispers to Abman* Word on the street is that they changed the flavor to Hawaiin punch! Cool, huh? ;-)
