I haven't seen that one. I like the one that says:

"Judaism: Good enough for Jesus, good enough for me."


Harry, when you attend the solemn high mass with your friends on Christmas
day, will you be sure and
tell them that their religion stinks?


Or, by the fact that they give each other presents and celebrate on the day
that they are not true Christians?

Lord Reginald,

It is called being principled when convenient, a trait that the
Democrats/Liberals/Progressives admire.

JohnH,
I can accept people not accepting anyone else's religion, but I do find it
funny that this person who views Christianity as a myth would want to get
out and attend Christmas Mass.

Bert,
You might be correct, but my guess is Harry's wife is dragging him along as
a social function. Harry has no principles, except "if it's bad for Bush it
is good for him."

It was primarily an attempt to move the discussion from a fact and
opinion based perspective to personal insult mode. Best to avoid those.
When two people start
posting "you're an asshole" back and forth in a NG- they're usually
both right.

It is part of his narcisstic behavior.......he needs to be seen and
associate with omportant and authoritative figures

"Narcissists are totally and inflexibly authoritarian. In other words,
they are suck-ups. They want to be authority figures and, short of that,
they want to be associated with authority figures. In their hearts, they
know they can't think well, have no judgment about what matters, are not
connected with the world they inhabit, so they cling fanatically to the
opinions of people they regard as authority figures -- such as their
parents, teachers, doctors, ministers. "

Ah, I see. Well Chuck, I'm not Harry. You need not fear my calling you names, even if you should
make fun of my religious beliefs.

There's no evidence here you have any religious beliefs.


And I'll not be giving you any. You'd find some nefarious purpose for such information.
