I would love to delve into a good reparte' tonight but I'm beat. I agree that most are variations of the original wheel and all have had their time being run by groups that decided killin was in the best interest. Then the short answer to your first paragraph is... The radicals in this religion are different in that they today don't want you to live, period.

I think the radicals in most religions don't want me to live if I choose to live differently than they do. Honestly, my position on most believers is "live and let live." If having faith ins a deity of some form makes a person happy, good for them. Where I get all cranky is when they say that their deity says that I can't drink, or eat what I want, or live my life in a way that seems ethical and just. I have trouble distinguishing between one religion that says "we want to tell you how to live" and another that says "we want to tell you how to live."

Also, to recreate the bad writing buzz I've got going start with a 1:1 mix of a can 350ml of coke and rye whiskey, then move on to several classes of pinot gregio. Repeat until ranting on the Internetwebs seems like a good idea.

I always like to sum it up succinctly as, I tolerate a person's religion insofar as their religion tolerates me. Its a varying scale to be sure.

WooHoo!!!!!! We've just added our 3647th member, jnwork!!! Didn't we used to have massive celebrations when we met milestones? Wasn't there always a promise of a date with Miss Walshy? Good times, good times...

Ahh, I remember the massive nights of celebration for the 1500th member joining. Or was it the 2000th? Or was it the 2500th? Or maybe the 3000th? Or was it all of them? Or did they merge? Memory's not what it was these days, but sure was it good. And I reckon Johan was involved (where are you, Johan?).

Yup as long as your living doesn't impede on my livin and vice versa. I think the problem is most of the happy go lucky populous don't get that what you see on the surface is a veil to cover the radical discussions and actions in private. Much video and discussion on this isall out in the open yet others choose to ignore it. This is a recipe for disaster as everyone is lulled to sleep by the sense of what they think is normal is not what this particular group thinks. Just wait and see what kind of "democracy" they have in Egypt

You're a better man then me. Soon as I put the wine to the liquor it's like gas on a fire. Ranting while drinkin is ALWAYS a good idea, maybe we need an official ranting while drinking night/day here? I for one say more of it!

I kinda thought that was the very premise of being here for many.

I am outraged Rich. You were on the Glenn Beck Show and you failed to ask the burning question that has been on every GB Show fan's lips this week.

Q. Glenn? That 12-year old Aspergers kid you had on Wednesday's show, the one you bigged up about his avowed intention to disprove The Big Bang Theory "from at least two angles", right? You found time on your show for him to scrawl complicated scientific formulae on your chalkboard while you told us about how God has just been waiting for us to pay attention to him, right?

Well why the fuck did you not get him to disprove The Big Bang Theory live on your show, asshole? One "angle" would have sufficed.

NJR has indicated that he doesn't entirely recall what he asked. It's very possible he DID ask about the Big Bang. We'll just have to wait until Friday to find out.

Ahh unfortunately I haven't seen Tues or Wed shows. We were actually there Tuesday night filming for Fridays show.
I will have to seek out the show and see what this is all about.

and to DzMs point It honestly was a surreal time. I had that angst of being in school and having to give your report in front of the class. (always hated that) Just wanted to sit back and enjoy the show but I had this "premonition" I was going to be called on. Weird very weird.

As an atheist, I never quite understood those sentiments expressed by other atheists. I don't give a flying fuck about what any deity is purported to say about me, or if they tell me how to live, or what I should eat, drink, screw, etc. Who cares what those deities say? All religions tell us how to live (of course, that is manifestly the purpose of religion), and all can be equally ignored. Let 'em talk all they want.

The trick is that I'm also a democrat, and if Americans vote, in free and fair elections or through the republican process, to impose any such religiously-inspired (and Constitutional!) restrictions then I'm stuck. Enacted that way, it is no more "forcing down the throat" than any of the other idiotic laws I'm required to follow.

I don't distinguish between laws that tell me how to live based on some sort of righty notion of religion and those that tell me how to live based on "secular" lefty dogma. Both are all up in my bizznatch.

OK, I'm now caught up on the little genius. I'd have to agree, when I watch I often get angry waiting for the thing GB is promisng he's going to show next, somehow he always runs out of time. Maybe he made him start the formula then realised... there ain't no way anyone's going to understand this.

Is it that the show producers do some crazy mind-control trance thing on the audience, so people who are in it don't actually realise what they are saying? I sort of hope that's true. It could explain a lot.

Yes, that may well be so, but I have a theory that it's just GB's way of preparing us for his End Of The World edition. "And now........here come the Four Horsemen and........No, I'm sorry, there isn't time.........tune in Friday when my special guest will be New Jersey Rich.......this you won't want to miss!"
