A friend of mines in High School, her mom is a Cancer Specialist (Oncologist for those in the know) sub specializing in reproductive cancers. Now this doctor does occasional Pro-Bono work doing free Breast examines and pap smears, at a local free clinic.

I spent part of my senior year summer acting as the Doctor's Body Guard against all of the "Operation Rescue" types. I'm not quite sure if they opposed the treatment of cancer on the grounds of:

1. Christian Scientist Principals
2. The removal of the uterus in a person with cancer prevents them from having children.
3. Dammit Cancer Cells have a right to life too.

Have fun, Ask them if they have a Talmud

better yet, remind them that Christianity is merely a Jewish Sect.

He's right. God doesn't so much commit murder, cause he's God and therefore is perfect. He was being just or rightly punishing them or something.

I thought It was "loki" and God desided to quit, when Bardabbee convinced Loki To give up the sword... :wink:

Well Kevin Smith is much funnier, but his basis is out of Catholiscism, growing up a lapsed Catholic in New Jersy (Pause to allow dalton time to rant about New Jersey.)

My youngest sister has come up with a few beauties recently:

1) "You don't let me do everything I want!" (in response to my parents refusing to let her stay at a friend's house for the nth time in a row)

2) "It's all your fault! You had her!" To my parents when they complained that she fought a lot with my other sister.

3) "Yeah, but it's a cool thing!" In response to someone pointing out that she wanted things, just because other people had them.

The stupidest Thing I ever heard was that "Planet X" was going come close to Earth and cause earth to stop rotating for one day and the Poles to shift. This is popularized by a Doomsday Cult run by Nancy Lieder. She says she has communications via implant with a Race called the Zeta from the planet Zeta Reticuli and this planet would become visable to amature Astronomers with Telescopes by mid 2002. Amature Astronomers around the World have debunked this Charlatan and Fraud. You can out more about the Zetacult and thier Lieder Here:

"I bet if I shove a brick in there, it'll make my shivers go away!"

Think about it.

When I was 11, the stuck up 11 year old catholic girl from next door, (who was develouping breasts, and interested me for some as yet unknown reason)told me that if I said "God damn it" 1000 times, I was on my way to hell, with no chance at redemption. I proceeded to say it, in sets of 10, one hundred times, in front of her. I then asked, "Now that I am already going to hell, is there any other reason I should obey God's commandments? It can't get any worse for me now can it?"
She had no answer, but I was too busy looking at her chest to notice.
Hmmmmmm.

I have another good one.

My Brother:"You're not gay if you havnt given girls a chance"

Me:"Im gay I have never found girls attractive"

Brother:"You just think your gay because girls have never paid any attention to you"

Me:"No, they just know Im gay"

He then repeats this over and over for the next 15 minutes, changing the wording now and again, saying things like "you're not gay" and"you cant be gay"

Anything by any of the teen creationists on that God forbidden forum (or is that blessed?).

Evolution is wrong because in Genesis God says he made the world? Yeah, guess that? Humpty Dumpty couldn't be put back together again.

Yep, that made sense.
