I never meant for this to be a crushing victory for Christianity in the Sweepstakes of Stupid. <br /><br />I just think that in America, with the experiences that we all have daily, Christians that cross the line from being "normal churchgoer" into "allow me to invade your personal space with my nonsense guy" are far more prolific and annoying than "Jew who won't shake a woman's hand" guy.Patrick Swifthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17316732383760587530noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7963507916907038267.post-73184121845610929612010-12-09T08:57:33.352-08:002010-12-09T08:57:33.352-08:00Christians do not have a monopoly on stupidity and...Christians do not have a monopoly on stupidity and ignorance. I think we notice it more however, because of where we happen to live (and moreso in TX). I'm sure if you lived in Iran, you'd probably be more upset about the violent, willfully ignorant theocracy. Similarly, I find myself taking offense when an Orthodox Jew refuses to shake my wife's hand because she might taint him. <br /><br />The founders of religions are often amazing men, but they cannot account for their followers. Extremists of any creed are annoying at best, dangerous at worst. <br /><br />Just like shorts on men.David Robleshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00340705798039809743noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7963507916907038267.post-67623954896841880982010-12-07T14:54:30.042-08:002010-12-07T14:54:30.042-08:00Chanel?

Muslims can be evil too and they are subject to hell. Case in point.

The purpose of this blog, ultimately, is to make observations about things I find humorous or interesting. I'm not writing a thesis here. <br /><br />2. I couldn't have been more demonstrative that not all Christians are like this if I tried. I spent like a paragraph and a half making that clear. <br /><br />3. I think the number one way to avoid fundamentalism and stasis of thought is to laugh at yourself. When you can't, you need to examine why that is, and what is so special about your beliefs (or how you look in shorts) that is above reproach or gentle mockery. <br /><br />4. Regarding the point you made on Facebook, yes - Christians are the most populous religious bloc in America, and thus have a higher amount of stupid people. But just because the Jews and Muslims don't have as deep of a bench doesn't mean the problem is proportional. They just don't knock on doors or try to stuff a pamphlet in your hand on the subway. That shit is undeniable.Patrick Swifthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17316732383760587530noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7963507916907038267.post-31346712196150863882010-12-07T13:49:11.236-08:002010-12-07T13:49:11.236-08:00I think NO MAN, including Richard Simmons, should ...I think NO MAN, including Richard Simmons, should wear short shorts. Basketball shorts and khaki shorts are acceptable, when they reach the knees. Denim shorts looks awful on ALL men, no matter the brand or the length. But I prefer Padawan in jeans. And men are warm, firm, and generally smell good. Or at least the men I spend a lot of time with are warm, firm, and smell good. I don't know what kind of men you hang around, but if they smell bad you need some new friends. Ones that smell nice. And Jesus wore a white dress.<br /><br />As far as Christians go, I was raised to be good Southern Baptist. Ever been to one of their churches? They told me that if I danced I would go to Hell. Apparently, it's a sin. So I don't really hold much with Religion. Though I have been told by a Muslim to "get behind a veil where you belong," (which I think that was more of a sexist comment as opposed to a religious one) I've never had one tell me I was going to hell for dancing. Neither has a Jew. But as far as Jewish people go...I love the Jewish nose on a man. *sigh* It's so handsome.Chanelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18159248995263246944noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7963507916907038267.post-60537089918853585392010-12-07T13:27:00.491-08:002010-12-07T13:27:00.491-08:00dick...dick...Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7963507916907038267.post-23825777354180664632010-12-07T13:26:20.953-08:002010-12-07T13:26:20.953-08:00no. i just disagree.no. i just disagree.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7963507916907038267.post-68873403549471789582010-12-07T12:57:07.585-08:002010-12-07T12:57:07.585-08:00Oops.

I will agree that most men should not wear shorts, but half the women out there should not either (and not all women who decide to wear shorts decide to also shave their legs - true story). As for lumping Christians together (Jehovah Witnesses, Evangelicals and Quakers), it is like saying the Shiites and Sunnis are the same type of Muslim. Why don't you just say all Americans are overweight bible thumpers who are willing to knock down your door to spread their beliefs and you can end your post after two paragraphs?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7963507916907038267.post-36706756555684776342010-12-07T12:10:06.604-08:002010-12-07T12:10:06.604-08:001.
