Wow. Mudede much?

Not complaining. good post.
2
Religion is fucking retarded.

or as bethany would say... very mudadean

Oh you beat me to it @1. I was going to say, "Charles, you accidentally logged in with Eli's ID."

What's with the Marge Simpson beads on Left-Hand Woman?
5
@2: Yup.

Funny article about this, and macaroons vs the secret service: http://www.nytimes.com/2010/03/28/us/pol…

You know, I've always been a big fan of frogs. I think a plague of them would be pretty cool.

Lice and boils, not so much.

@2 Passover's lessons don't have to be religious.

Also, great post Eli. Unlike Mudede, you actually make sense.
9
interesting that he's not at the head of the table this year. pinko :)

I always use my pinkie for the the plague daubing. His use of the index finger is more involved, but maybe he didn't know he had options.

I'm pretty sure the god of the jews is the same god of the christians and the muslims.
11
"It's owner"

Homer: Stupid sexy Jews.

@8, yeah I guess you're right. I guess I should go ahead and mark my doorway with the blood of a lamb so that the magical spirit doesn't kill my firstborn.
14
Damn I hope one day we have an atheist president. That would be so great. Or a Buddhist even.

I'm so tired of the Abrahamic faiths, with their fire and brimstone and death and destruction.
15
@13 You must have a hard time reading books or enjoying movies if you're not able to learn life lessons w/o taking the stories literally.
16
@11: Thanks much, fixed.
17
Oy.

obama does visit death and destruction upon afganis and pakistanis with some regularity.

and what are drone attacks if not button pushing?
19
I agree with what #18 said. Obama has blood on his hands, blood that he has WILLINGLY taken on and bathed in.

Afganastan became his blood bath the moment he ordered 34,000 additional troops to go and die. He's just a nice smiling face to American Imperialism.
20
I knew it, Obama is a secret Jew.
21
I'm so fucking sick of twisted, savage, ignorant religion of all kinds.
22
@19: There are very few easy decisions. And if putting 34k Americans in harms way for a few years will make it possible to eradicate the Taliban, thus giving Afghanistan a chance at progress and weakening Al Qaeda, that is an acceptable cost.
What is not acceptable is the staggering amount of collateral damage to civilians, and protocol for Predator and Reaper strikes certainly does need to be re-written.
23
@7 - I agree. We need more frogs, not fewer. We need a human equivalent of chitridiomycosis.
24
21 and others -
While the Passover story is embellished with a few of the standard religious and fictitious miracles, most of it is actually based on quite a bit of fact. Enslavement that did happen. Liberation that did happen. Plagues of the sort that did occur in that region (some of them).
The lessons from the Passover story are good ones. In fact, the main theme of the Passover story is quite "American." It is just a celebration of freedom.
25
@24 yeah..... sure....
26
@24 Seriously. It's like a second thanksgiving but with a lot more talk about suffering and enslavement, esp the kind that takes place in present day.

@25 Ever been to a Passover seder? Didn't think so.
27
Are they reading from the Maxwell House Haggadah? I love it.
28
@26 Ever opened a book? Didn't think so.

Please wait...
