Alright keep it up and you will put us out of buisness
Is it just me or have Candy's recent post been a little...uh....boring? Is she trying to wait us out? Has she changed? I think she truly believes that if she is boring for a week then we will go away. Well that might work in the world of Candy, but not in reality. We know Candy it is only a matter of time before you begin you self righteous notion that your way of living and religion is right for everyone. Why not just cut to the chase and continue? I am sure that the other sites are seeing a slow down as well. Surely we are not in a Candy recession?

«Oldest ‹Older 401 – 480 of 480I ignore her bible "study" posts. If I want to know what the bible says, and means, I go to a reliable source and that she is not. Did she really say Mary adopted Jesus? I am among the heathens another one spoke of, but even I know that Jesus was born to a virgin and that virgin was Mary.
Man, I was outside working in the yard and gardens all day and was hoping something interesting would be going on here now that I've crashed and burned on the energy thing. Not that you aren't all interesting, it's just these comments are going on 400 strong because she hasn't done anything worth Matthew creating another post and, well, she's just boring the heck out of me. And, that's saying something since she never interests me but I can usually get a good chuckle or two out of her and a good conversation over here.
maggi, she throws Mary aside because Catholics do not. She has no real conviction, I don't think. I believe that she treats Mary so negatively because she has such disdain for Catholics and will not allow herself to accept anything Catholics believe. This ultimately just means she makes it all up as she goes along and makes the bible mean what she wants it to mean. That's not true bible knowledge or understanding. No matter how many times you read the bible, if you make things up each time you read, you get nothing out of it. Rather than accept that Catholics are Christians and do know their bible, she uses her imagination to justify herself while not so subtly putting down those of a faith she, for some reason, abhors.
Anyone doubt there will be a meez party tonight, and a salvation to boot?

She does look all dressed up and ready for the prom!

Yeah, Matthew, can you put up a "discuss boring posts here" entry so that I can stop having to scroll down so much?
meez party going on now
She is teaching manifest heresy.
As I predicted, she has changed her notes to further promote her point of view.
This is clear eisegisis, and is contrary to orthodox Christian belief.
Would that her followers were as Biblically literate as they claim to be, and would now RUN from her in fear of their own souls.
And, she deleted the comment that made her go further in her explanations, and then removed those supposed explanations.
I confess, after reading here I did go over there. I cringed reading it and gave up half way through and just read the comments.
She not only has no respect for those with differing beliefs, she has no respect for those that even like her. She obviously thinks they are ignorant fools who will either not notice or not care that she manipulates her posts, and their comments.
Ignorance must truly be bliss.
She keeps changing the notes for verse 42.
Did she REALLY, truly MEAN that Mary is NOT Jesus' mother? She was a VESSEL? B/c not even JESUS believed this:
John 19:26, "When Jesus therefore saw his mother, and the disciple standing by, whom he loved, he saith unto his mother, Woman, behold thy son!"
Seriously, wtf? She is SO far off her rocker on this one. She's gone off the deep end, really and truly. I get that she's not Catholic and hates (erm, I mean LOVES) Catholics, and I'm okay with that. But I have NEVER heard a Christian deny that Mary is the mother of Jesus!
And explain Luke 1:41-43
"41And it came to pass, that, when Elisabeth heard the salutation of Mary, the babe leaped in her womb; and Elisabeth was filled with the Holy Ghost:
42And she spake out with a loud voice, and said, Blessed art thou among women, and blessed is the fruit of thy womb.
43And whence is this to me, that the mother of my Lord should come to me?"
Did anybody else find this comment particularly galling: Angie, I thought it was obvious. HOwever, since you didn't get it, other people may not either, so I'll add a note to the study to help.
Candy
wow. speaking of treating your readers with little respect...
sychroswmer- I am the Angie she addresses in that comment, and I am completely accustomed to her treating me like I am a fool. According to Candy, I do not know anything about my own faith. I wanted to see how she addresses verse 66 since she conveniently left that out of her notes. As a Catholic, I read it as, even though the disciples witnessed Jesus healing the blind, turning water into wine, walking on water, etc., his assertion that we are to eat his body and drink his blood is so out there that they walked. To believe him literally, as I believe he meant it, takes immense faith. Candy calls them wolves. I call them human beings that couldn't accept what he was saying.
Just in case Candy doesn't publish the comment that I just left her on KTH:
"I'm sorry Candy, but I disagree with you. When questioned, Jesus repeated clearly that he is the bread of life and that those who eat his body and drink his blood will have eternal life. If he was saying that we are to "symbolically" eat his body and drink his blood, why would his disciples be so challenged in their faith, especially since they had witnessed miracle after miracle, that they felt compelled to walk away from him? There were instances before this that the disciples didn't understand him correctly where Jesus would re-explain, but I don't see him clarifying this point once. He just keeps repeating the same message. What you are saying (or how I understand it) is that the disciples that abandoned Jesus were basically evil in the first place. I have to disagree.
If you would insert the words, "I believe" or "I don't believe" before your assertions, then I would read your notes as your interpretation, but you speak in absolutes as if your interpretation is the completely free of human error."
I just never can understand this thought of treating Mary as if she was nothing more than a vessel....nothing special or important....Jesus certainly didn't seem to feel that way about her...I can't imagine it pleases him to see how some Christians regard her, or should I say DISregard her...
I removed the "adoptive parents" part of my notes, in regards to the relationship of Joseph and Mary to Jesus.
I didn't explain it very clearly, and some people got confused. That was not at all my intention.
Maybe I'll just make it into an article sometime, where I can take the time and space to explain what I meant.
For now, however, it is not crucial to the understanding of John 6. For this reason, I found it superfluous, and removed it.
Her comment on her John 6 post that I found this morning.
One, she put back the comment that asked her to clarify, and put the reference back into her notes. THEN she reposted the comment and removed the changes to her notes. Now, she acts as though the world is confused by her notes and has changed them again.
With only 7 comments on the John 6 post, and two of them hers, I wonder where she got the idea that others are "confused". You know, since she doesn't read this site, or VTC which has also covered the topic (and done a damn fine job of it, too). Maybe she led to make the changes (and then change them again, and again) by God, since she has such a special relationship with him?
Or, she is lying and manipulating on a grand scale.
What, no salvations last night? She's falling down on the job and God may take away some of her rewards now; the ones she receives for winning souls.
I am very punchy this morning.
I have never heard of a Christian dismiss Mary until Candy. Then again, I question her faith, so I don't really put her in the Christian category....my opinion. I have been to the Presbyterian, Methodist and Baptist churches frequently and I have NEVER heard any of them say anything negatively about Mary. Only respectful things because she is Jesus' mother. I have no use for Candy. She better stop telling Catholic's they are going to hell and take a close look in the mirror.
Well, we know that she doesn't post critical comments, and I know that she didn't post MY comment about Scripture pointing out that Mary is Jesus' mother (complete with reference).
Her problem is that in her attempt to run from the Catholics she runs straight to heresy, in which she is denying the humanity of Christ.
I agree, Candy is walking on some very dangerous ground when it comes to Mary. She is taking a woman, carefully picked by God to be his Son's mother, who loved the Lord so much that without hesitation, she risked her reputation and her very life to bear his Son, and IMO spitting on her memory. She has been so quiet the past couple weeks, and I think she is gearing up for something big with her statement that she is going to devote an article to Mary.
Angie, you told Candy "If you would insert the words, "I believe" or "I don't believe" before your assertions, then I would read your notes as your interpretation, but you speak in absolutes as if your interpretation is the completely free of human error."
You're just showing that you're an ignorant Catholic! Remember what Candy said in her original comments
"There is good news here. I don't have to have a "take" on it, I just need to read the Bible, and see what it says about said passage."
If YOU had the Holy Spirit indwelling in you, then you wouldn't need to interpret the Bible either. You just pick it up and read it. Now stop insulting the Holy Spirit by picking apart what he/she/it is telling Candy that these verses mean!
Now maybe if you'd give up this whole Catholic thing and become saved, then you and she could talk doctrine . . .
I hate to tell Candy that believing Mary is Jesus' mother is not a Catholic thing and she is going to bite off more than she can chew.
As I was sitting in my heathen Catholic mass this morning, I was thinking about this "Mary as a vessel" thing.
Have I missed out on something? Are Catholics the only ones who believe that Mary is the mother of God? I always understood that the Catholic practice of revering her was unique, but I've never heard of any Christian denying that Mary is the mother of God/Jesus. So all non-Catholic Christians believe this?
Her argument is that Jesus was not from Mary's ovum, thus she cannot be his mother. God "placed" Jesus there. And since God always was and God=Jesus=Holy Spirit, that means that Mary is the mother of her father, thus Mary cannot be Jesus' mother.
I guess her argument is not that Mary is the adoptive mother of Jesus, but the surrogate mother of Jesus.
But if Jesus was human, which I assume we are all in agreement about, he had to have had a mother. All humans have a mother and a father. So to deny that Jesus had a mother is to deny that Jesus is human, is it not?
No, all orthodox (small 'o') Christians accept Mary as Christ's mother.
Here's a link from a Baptist minister discussing the issue, along with a good description of the heresies that flow from denials like Candy's.
http://www.sermoncloud.com/northbrook/john-11-18-this-is-jesus-true-god-and-true-man-the-prologue-part-2
I'm just thinking more about her logic, ie, Mary can't be Jesus' mother, because Jesus is God, her heavenly Father, and she can't be the mother of her own father.
If we follow that logic, that means that Jesus is not the son of God. After all, Jesus is God, and how can a son be his own father?
Her "logic" just doesn't make any sense. (What's new?)
If you assume that Jesus was a virgin birth, then God would have to have tweaked things somehow. There are lots of possibilities.
If Mary's DNA were just duplicated, as in parthenogenesis, then Jesus would have been female. So even if most of His chromosomes were duplicates of Mary's chromosomes as in parthenogenesis, one X would have to have been genetically engineered by God into a Y chromosome. In that case, Jesus would have been almost but not quite a clone of Mary.
Or maybe God took one each of Mary's paired chromosomes, added a second chromosome to each pair, maybe perfectly designed, so that Jesus got one half his DNA from his mother Mary as is normal.
Or maybe God used Mary's ovum but replaced all the nuclear DNA with some perfectly designed DNA so that Jesus got no nuclear DNA from Mary. (Did he look like Mary in that case? Or did he look different - unexpected hair color, eye color etc? It could have gone either way depending on God's plan.) In this case Jesus would still have come from Mary's ovum and would have had Mary's mitochondrial DNA, so in one sense Mary would have been his mother, in another sense not.
Or a complete fertilized egg could have been implanted by God into Mary's womb so that Jesus would have had no genetic connection or physical connection with her, so she would have been a surrogate mother.
Or maybe there was no fertilized egg at all and it was done in some totally different supernatural way.
Today we could do a DNA analysis. Otherwise, how could we tell? Is the wording of the bible specific enough to say?
Truly, there is nothing new under the sun - in her eagerness to disdain anything remotely Papist, Candy has fallen in to the heresy of Nestorianism, in denying that Mary bore the two natures of Christ, both human and Divine, in her womb.
Anyone trusting this woman for spiritual guidance and scriptural education needs to have a care for their soul.
I guess, for me, none of the biological stuff matters.....it's pretty clear in the Bible that Jesus Loved and cared for his mother and treated her as special. It's pretty clear God felt she was special. He honored her enough to allow her to BE the 'vessel"...so I Can't imagine Jesus/God would be pleased to see the type of disdain some like Candy seem to have for her. It's like she's trying sooo hard to be 'unlike" Catholics that she's throwing the baby out with the bathwater....completely tossing Mary aside.
Anyway, doesn't the mother, biological or not, have a big impact on the baby's character?
(Doesn't Candy even stress this?)
The more I think about this, the more it bothers me.
Let's pretend. Let's go along with her assertion that Mary is not Jesus' mother; she's just his "adoptive" mother. Does that mean then that every woman who has adopted a child is not really the child's mother?
Her argument is just ludicrous.
Do these "followers" really believe the crap she spews forth??? I'm floored that people do not SEE her for what she is.. a liar!
If we made a Sweeping the Home Meez room, do you think she'd come?
I am actually tempted...but I don't know if I could figure out how to use meez. It seems time-consuming. It took me forever to make that stupid avatar on my blog.
But if a few people here are ever seriously bored some night....hmmm....although I think it would be even more fun to all crash Candy's praise party together.
here's the question though: if we crash her room, do we tell her what a moron she is, or do we all pretend to get saved?
Sweeping, I set up a room in Meez and it did not take very long. If you want, I can tell you what I know about Meez.
here's the question though: if we crash her room, do we tell her what a moron she is, or do we all pretend to get saved?
Good question....since I tend to have a sarcastic sense of humor, I think getting saved would be a load of fun. Especially if she got to save 5 people in one night or something.
Sweeping, I set up a room in Meez and it did not take very long. If you want, I can tell you what I know about Meez.
That would be cool. I have a meez room set up but I have no idea how to use it. You can email me at mandybrowner@gmail.com.
I suppose it would be fun to chat in real time. Everyone would have to bring a snake, though.
Today we could do a DNA analysis. Otherwise, how could we tell? Is the wording of the bible specific enough to say?
Have you been over to VTC yet, because their latest talks about this some. They say Jesus "was descended from David according to the flesh" (Rom. 1:3), so Mary would have supplied at least some of Jesus' genetic material.
If the Bible says that Jesus came from the line of David through Mary, then I wonder how Candy would argue that Mary was not his biological mother.
You know what? Any kind of logic aside, God does and has always done what God wants to do. He creates, he destroys. There does not need to be a "scientific" or "logical" explanation.
Mary was chosen by God to carry His son. If you believe int he trinity, or anything that is the foundation of Christianity - Father, Son, Holy Spirit, Jesus is God, Jesus is God in human form...all of it - it doesn't need logic or explanation. It is the way it is. The virgin birth included. Mary giving birth to a son she did not conceive through natural means.
Either you believe that, and believe it as part of the power and miracle of God and Jesus, or you don't. Period. End of story.
So, whatever her arguments are they are irrelevant and mean nothing more than an arrogant, uneducated person running off at the mouth.
If you do not believe Jesus was born of a virgin mother - Mary - you cannot honestly believe anything else, can you? Can you believe in the trinity if you do not believe Jesus was human?
Round and round we go.
She is so desperate to discount Catholics on any basis, she is denying the foundation of her own claimed belief system.
Trust me, I am not the least bit surprised.
By the way, depending on the day/time, I'd be up for hopping into a sweeping meez room. Oh, what fun it could be to claim to have been saved by the irreverent Candy and then read her self praise for having won another soul and earned more rewards.
I've been banned!
I can no longer access KTH comments.
She must have stalked me down, and found me posting here, there, and everywhere in opposition to her, despite the one neutral comment I left her.
And on that note, did anyone notice the hypocricy in her comment (which I read before my excommunication from the church of Candy) about how she wouldn't post someone's comment because 'in the past' said commenter wasn't somehow 'respectful' in the past.
Didn't she say something in her commentary about you may have been one way in the past, but telling the truth in the present? So she's basing her approach on past behavior? I actually have no issue with that, but since it contradicts what her Bible study says, I find it......interesting. How can one learn a truth in Bible study, and then NOT apply it to your life?
I've been banned!
I can no longer access KTH comments.
What was the comment that got you banned?
You have to watch out. When she gets miffed that lots of people are questioning her, she gets very quick with the ban button.
Another One, were you the esteemed hereon? I bow to thee :)
I know the STH room has to be in Meez as well, for the sake of proper mockery, but I do wish it could be somewhere else. I do not find the Meez room to be user friendly at all. It's just bizarre; you spend more time figuring out to sit and dance than actually chatting.
Hmmm, 'heron' is nested inside 'another one'.
But that could be coincidence.
Just pursuing some of Candy's archived/linked articles. I found this gem in "In defense of Christmas":
Santa Claus is a trap to get you into Satan's Claws.
Catchy, huh?
Shortly after that, she states:
I do not teach my children the Santa Claus/Satan's Claws lie, and I suggest you do the same. Don't lie to your children - many a child lost faith in God when they learned that their parents fed them lies about Santa Claus, the tooth fairy, the Easter bunny, etc.
Those of you who are Christians, have you ever heard of anyone who lost their faith in God when they learned about Santa, etc...? I'm just a heathen Catholic, so I know nothing, but all of my friends believed in Santa, and I know of none of them who lost faith in God after they learned the truth. (Actually, I had only one friend whose family didn't do Santa. She/they changed religions the way I change underwear.)
I *WISH* I were 'heron.' I, too, bow to his/her ability to cut to the chase.
I have never actually been publicly published on KTH, as I am a heathen Catholic as well, and had the nerve to chastise her for her changing a weblink in a comment to JIL, for her photos of a specific home, and for her admitted webstalking of a third commenter on KTH.
So let's all raise a toast to heron and all those who are able to navigate the minefield.
I do not know anyone who has lost their faith from Santa Claus, although in our house we don't "do" Santa.
Or, rather, we don't pretend he's real. The tooth fairy is a big joke around, here, also, as every tooth that's lost the Tooth Fairy story gets more and more fantastical.
I'm a writer, embellishemnt is a gift.
Well, whaddayaknow? I'm unbanned. No more nasty message when I click on the comments.
Almost wish I would have stayed away.....how can one consider watching videos with e-maginary people to be praise and worship, much less "church?" Yes, indeed, the Church of Candy has members, and they are thanking her for her "church."
What heresy will be next?
I think the legend of Santa Claus is a threat to the control she has over the minds of her children. If they believed in Santa, they would expand their thought process beyond what she feeds into them. Santa is all about imagination, and apparently her kids can't have imaginations. I was so NOT traumatized when I found out Santa wasn't real that I do not even remember it as an experience. I do not remember when I went from believing to not believing. Just as I don't remember understanding that Bert & Ernie and Big Bird were not real.
But, my family and their beliefs were never threatened by the mythical beliefs of childhood so I guess since they didn't make a big deal of it, it wasn't a big deal.
I've been banned, and unbanned, from commenting so many times it's like watching a merry-go-round. When she bans me, she must think she is making a point. When she unbans me, she must be bored and want to be "attacked" so she can whine about it to her faithful readers.
I think the legend of Santa Claus is a threat to the control she has over the minds of her children.
Absolutely! I actually try not to think about her poor children very much. I console myself that her rebellious oldest child is likely to become a Catholic, if not a priest, just to spite his family.
The Christmas article is one of my favorites because she defends pagan Christmas traditions, completely backpedaling on all those pagan Catholic arguments she likes to use. She's such a hypocrite.
Oh yes, putting salt in water and blessing it, and wax candles, etc. are all pagan customs proving the Cathlicks are satan's minions...but having a Christmas tree is fine.
As long as Santa doesn't put any presents under it.
BTW- how exactly did she get married (bizarro wedding vows aside). Cuz that's not in the bible.
Maybe it's just the Catholic in me, but I'm really looking forward to article on why Mary is not the mother of God.
I console myself that her rebellious oldest child is likely to become a Catholic, if not a priest, just to spite his family.
ROFLOL!!!! I have had the EXACT same thought.
I don't comment on Candy's site so I've never been banned, but lately I can't read her comment section because haloscan causes my window to freeze up whenever I click on it. Anyone else have that problem? It sucks because the comments are usually the best part of her blog.
Are you sure it's not in a new window? Check your taskbar.
BTW- how exactly did she get married (bizarro wedding vows aside). Cuz that's not in the bible.
***
from what I can remember ...they didn't......they officiated their own 'wedding'...they recited some vows to each other and voila they considered themselves married.
From usmarriagelaws.com :
Colorado:
"As of August 1993, a couple themselves can solemnize their own marriage.
Common Law Marriages: Yes. Common Law Marriage - Recognized. See, "Common Law Marriage in Colorado," 16 Colo. Law. 252 (1987); Crandall v. Resley, 804 P.2d 272 (Colo. App. 1990)."
So I think they did that -- officiated their own wedding, then after a time period changed her name to his.
Candy used to have a menonnite blog in her Blogs I read section called "How I love thee" Does anyone know where it is? i always enjoyed it.
She must have deleted it when the blogger posted an opposing viewpoint in a post on her How I Love Thee blog.
I really enjoyed that blog. I didn't have it saved on my favorites.
That blog may have closed. Some one left a comment asking Candy where it had gone and she didn't respond. I've just tried to Google it and come up with nothing.
I enjoyed that blog too.
Where is Matthew? He hasn't posted for ages. Matthew, I think you need to get fellow bloggers to join you, like Elena did at VTC. Some of the regulars, like Tia and Amanda.
Isn't it odd that she has yet to post today? I mean she at least usually jots a post about being busy...
Erika, I thought too it was odd that we haven't at least had a "Oh, I'm so busy organizing!" post today.
Confession: I just now had a series of very uncharitable thoughts involving possible reasons for her not posting.
And I do wish that Matthew would at least give us a new post to comment on; we're going to hit 500 soon. Pretty please? :)
I remember believing in Santa. And I remember exactly when I stopped. One of first grade classmates told me. She was a Jehova's Witness and was probably jealous, but she was a mean little girl and I am still holding a grudge.
My mom explained the background of Santa/St. Nicholas and why it was tradition. I was totally fine with that--I most certainly did not lose faith in either God or my mom.
Is this the How I Love Thee you're looking for?
http://homesteadblogger.com/howilovethee
I was killing some time and just did a search on fundamentalist beliefs regarding Mary. I was, and still am, curious how they can take something so basic, so fundamental, to Christianity and turn it into something it is not.
Turns out many of my hits when doing that search were from the Jesus is lord website. No surprise there. That is where Candy gets most of her ideas about her faith and the bible and the world around her. I was more surprised at how many fundamentalist believe Mary is not the Mother of Jesus simply because they "reason" that she cannot be the Mother of God, so by default she is not the Mother of Jesus. The idea that Mary bore Jesus's "nature" is a rampant one, but really, how does one bear a "nature"? Wasn't her blood, her oxygen, her womb needed for God to grow in human form, thus being birthed as Jesus?
I'm going off into territory that isn't normally my forte' so you'll have to forgive me if I am confused.
Are fundamentalists like Candy so determined to not believe anything the evil Catholics do that they try to alter the foundation of their own Christianity?
Jews do not believe in Jesus's divinity. I get that. But, Jews & Christians don't have a lot of the same beliefs and never claimed to. But, how can one be a Christian - or claim to be a Christian - without recognizing that Mary is Jesus's Mother, because the divinity of Jesus - Jesus being God in human form - is the foundation of Christianity....isn't it?
Like I said, I'm in over my head, but this is just mind boggling to me.
What I meant re: marriage, is that there is no template in the Bible for "how to get married". The standard, traditional wedding vows aren't in there.
It's ALL tradition, even the reciting vows to one another.
My point being, how do they know they got married in a way that is acceptable to God? How do they know they did it His way?
Or does God automatically defer to Colorado state law (heaving help us!)
As I've said before, I find the whole theory that Mary is not Jesus' mother to be severely flawed. Humans have a mother and a father. To deny that he had a mother is to deny that he was human...and thus deny the most basic tenet of Christianity.
Her argument is that Christ himself only addressed Mary as "woman", never "mother". However, Mary is referred to many times (though, no, not directly by him) as his mother. Since she (and all Christians, for that matter), believe the Bible to be the inspired word of God, how can she believe that it was a coincidence that Mary is referred to, repeatedly, as the mother of God. If she can believe SO strongly that God deliberately inspired the spelling of "saviour" (with that sacred "u"), then how can she not feel that the use of the word "mother" was also deliberate?
I don't care if she disapproves of the Catholic practice of venerating Mary. We agree to disagree on that. But how can she profess to be a Christian and deny the humanity of Christ?
In perusing info on Mary, I came upon this gem of a sermon. Sounds like the sort of preacher Candy would really like...
Here
I'll give him credit, though: he doesn't fake nice and say he loves Catholics--he comes right out and calls us stupid.
I deleted the last comment to combine...
Okay, maybe I'm a moron....after looking over the rest of that site, it's a satirical site. Really pretty funny, now that I "get" it. What's scary, though, is that I can totally see Candy believing most of this stuff that is intended as a joke.
Certificate of Eternal Salvation
Ya gotta check out that link. Pretty darn funny if you ask me.
Also, if you have a sick sense of humor, this is pretty funny, too:
South Dakota Shirt
(And I'm from South Dakota, so it's okay for me to post this.)
Amanda, you are a woman after my own heart. I have long been a fan of Landover. It is satire at its finest, in my opinion. At least as far as its particular subject matter goes.
The SD shirts are hilarious! You are from there, and I desperately want to live there.
Another site that has fooled a number of people is
http://objectiveministries.org/
in particular their creationist science fair page.
(warning, it might be offensive.)
It is a little embarrassing to admit I thought the site was legit. It wasn't until I saw the "Hanger State" shirts that I figured it out.
And I can't tell you how close I am to buying one. (Sadly, I suspect that it would go right over the heads of most of my fellow South Dakotans. My boss would really like, though.)
I just read what I wrote and I want to clarify - I don't want to live in South Dakota for anything relating to its coat hanger designation! I just love the Black Hills area. I realize when I reread my last post that I made it sound like one (coat hanger state) had something to do with the other (me wanting to live there). There is no connection whatsoever.
I actually think a t-shirt would probably go over the heads of half the country, if not more. I had to dig into the recesses of my memory when I followed your link.
Okay, maybe I'm a moron....after looking over the rest of that site, it's a satirical site.
It's okay, they got me too when I found a link to their site talking about how they were celebrating that Pope John Paul had died, and he was now burning in hell. But Candy had just written in a comment that he was probably burning in hell, so it seemed almost reasonable to me that someone would seriously write that.
After Candy, the entire site seems so much more plausible.
After Candy, the entire site seems so much more plausible.
And that, my friend, is one of the scariest truths I've ever heard. To think that there are people in the world who have actual belief and value systems that are more closely associated with satire than any other reality is indescribable.
After Candy, the entire site seems so much more plausible.
As Tia said, that's what's scary. After reading Candy's rants on Mary, the rosary, and Catholicism in general, I could very much see someone giving the "sermon" I linked. I can totally see her buying into it.
Dare me to leave the link for the "sermon" in her comments? :) I'd probably get banned, but what a way to go!
DO IT! I triple dog dare ya. (can you tell what movie I watch year round? lol)
