The Confessional Thread

[The Batlord]

It's not like you solicited the money yourself. If these people who supposedly care about your education would withdraw their support just because you weren't the same religion as them, then they deserve to get jacked. I'm sure your education is more important than them buying a new TV anyway.

Option one isn't really an option just because money's involved. I'll still believe what I do because it doesn't mean **** either way. However, I'm glad to know our opinions somewhat line up, I was afraid I was in the moral right or something.

Oh goodie, Le Buttlump replied too. Pretty much my thoughts too.

On top of that, my school (being a Lutheran university, this being a Lutheran church) will match any donations given by the congregation.

I feel a vague moral dilemma going on. Congratulate me or berate me, I'm still going through with it (might even toss a hundo or so in the donation bin).

Do it to make your mama happy this Christmas, then have a long talk whenever you're ready.

....get that degree and then drop some science on those bitches.

And then you can tell her all about Martin Luther's violent, anti-Semitic writings.

In 1543 Luther published On the Jews and Their Lies in which he says that the Jews are a "base, whoring people, that is, no people of God, and their boast of lineage, circumcision, and law must be accounted as filth." They are full of the "devil's feces ... which they wallow in like swine." The synagogue was a "defiled bride, yes, an incorrigible whore and an evil slut ..." He argues that their synagogues and schools be set on fire, their prayer books destroyed, rabbis forbidden to preach, homes razed, and property and money confiscated. They should be shown no mercy or kindness, afforded no legal protection, and these "poisonous envenomed worms" should be drafted into forced labor or expelled for all time. He also seems to advocate their murder, writing "[w]e are at fault in not slaying them".

Isn't religious history fun?

That's all I ever asked for, The Batlord. Isn't it awesome when your jokes are fresh and have some kind of context?

I feel your pain.

My baby kitten could probably run like 50 miles and still want to jump up and bite my feet when I'm trying to rest because assholes don't know fatigue.

Tonight I've been reading Confessions of a Sociopath, an actual memoir by a sociopath. Usually a book that delves this deeply into the mind of someone like this leaves me feeling empty and depressed. Now, narcissism aside, I identify far more with Avoidant and Dependent Personality Disorders than I do ASPD, but rather than feel ****ty, this book is just making me want to be an even bigger amoral ******* than usual. Sort of like how reading Motley Crue's autobiography just makes me want to start a band and snort coke off strippers' asses. I guess an actual sociopath is too narcissistic not to make being completely amoral sound like fun.
