Horseshoes and Hand Grenades

Mon, 03/16/2009 - 17:45 — wayne

When I was fifteen years old or so, I was at my friend Michael Lees' Parents' house in Waterford, Michigan, it was late, we were outside, and I was getting ready to take the long walk home, (about a half mile or so down the road,) we were talking when he threw something and missed his target he said "Almost," of course being the smartass that I was I said "almost doesn't count" then he chimed in with "except in horseshoes" which is true (the closest to the post without a ringer, gets the point,) then thinking outloud I said "And Hand Grenades" meaning if you throw a live hand grenade your still gonna hurt someone if they're close to it when it explodes, hence forth the saying "Almost Doesn't Count Except in Horseshoes and Hand Grenades" was born, It rhymed, It sounded cool, and it was a

Found on AOL news blog;

A truck driver for the Niagara Falls Public Works Department told a judge today that putting up a racially motivated "whites only" sign on a water fountain last summer was "the stupidest thing I have ever done in my life."

James R. Curtis was then sentenced to three years of probation, 50 hours of community service and mandatory cultural diversity training. City Judge Mark A. Violante also ordered Curtis to submit to random alcohol and drug testing, and pay a $200 surcharge.

I heard this on TV the other day and it makes a lot of sense, "God is just an imaginary friend for adults" In other words it's all in your head, he's your Id, your subconscious mind verses your conscious mind, your fantasy brain confronting your factual brain, or your animal brain verses your human brain, however you put it, GOD is real because GOD is YOU, He's in all of us, he's just not a separate entity like the religionists want you to believe, because everyone's internal voice is different is why, I believe, there are so many different religions, but because some internal voices have similar beliefs, they follow a similar religious sect that exemplifies those beliefs, not realizing it isn't a religion in the first place, it's just you, being you.

The Bible

The problem with Religion is that it's fatal for all of us, the bible isn't a Menu,
it's a COOKBOOK!!! AHHHHHHHHHHHHH!

In other words, "Revelations" isn't a warning of whats to come, it's the directions to make it happen! and there's some cave dwelling terrorists out there already collecting the ingredients.

Monitor local state/church abuses

Work with the Foundation to protest clear-cut violations of the separation between church and state, such as prayers or religious instruction in public schools. Contact the Foundation office promptly with pertinent facts, names and addresses:

FFRF, Inc.
PO Box 750
Madison WI 53701
(608) 256-8900
fax (608) 204-0422
algaylor@ffrf.org

It it not easy to end violations where there is no established law or Supreme Court precedent to invoke. But a prompt complaint by a local citizen at the very least helps to educate about the importance of state/church separation, and may prevent a future or worse abuse.
