Random Ramblings

Re: Kara

"They told me nothing Ren, only that you decided not to hunt again." She had momentarily forgotten Ren was with her family hunting before she was out of preschool.

It sent off warning bells and her head jerked up as her eyes landed on him hard.

"Jesus Christ!" She muttered as the knowledge now came to her.

"They didn't? Did they?" She had a sinking feeling someone fed Ren to and for their cause.

She searched his face, her eyes narrowing, waiting for that familiar tingling to come over her. Had he shadowed it?

"Ren?" She fumbled over the lump in her throat, she always wondered why he vanished without a word. Why her family never spoke of him as they used to...

You know, it’s often best if we refrain from using the Lord’s name in vain. Wouldn’t you agree? Sure you would!

Note

This was removed from a private thread, if you aren't invited, stay out or comment in PM! I am tired of warning, and I am not deleting. Freedom of speech is fine with me, but i won't tollerate rude mannered people who just want to interrupt.

Thnx

 

[shereads]

Thanks for your support, Cleaning Lady, but I have to agree with SweetP on this one. When the authors of a closed thread allow you to read and enjoy their fantasy, it's rude to intrude with an uninvited post. The Lord has asked me to let you know that He likes that particular thread; in fact, it's one of His favorites. He's less easily offended than you might think.

Best regards,

Jesus' Administrative Assistant

I'm terribly sorry for butting in like this [looks around in case there is a CLOSED sign around] but however rude and out of place TCL's comment was, sweetp already took care of the matter.
However angry or annoyed by the event you were, Shereads, your post in here really lacks taste and even though I am not a believer I find it offensive and tactless. Even if it was a joke it's a really bad one.
Please excuse this comment. I couldn't just pass by this.

Exeunt to the orgy

Hey folks,

C'mon, show's over, nothing to see here. Exit to your left -- this door for the orgy, the next door for Fun With Sextoys, and the one on the far wall for Mind-altering Orgasms. Isn't that why we're all here?

As concealed weapons are discouraged in the play zone, please check your self-righteous indignation at the door. It'll be kept in a safe place and returned to you when you leave.



Cheers, playmates,
AriO

 

[shereads]

AriO is right. Nevertheless...

Even if it was a joke it's a really bad one.

Actually, it wasn't a joke. Cleaning Lady and I have both been personally appointed by God to speak on his behalf, but we sometimes disagree when it comes to his views on erotica and sexual fantasies.

You see, Pogi, the internet is still a new area, and even us believers are not entirely clear on some of the finer points of God's will. For example, does he approve of CleaningLady visiting erotica sites, as long as she's here to keep other writers from going astray? Does God object to sexual roleplay in general, or does he just object to the use of his name?

These "gray areas" will be ironed out eventually. We'll let the rest of you know as soon as CleaningLady and I get the official word. Meanwhile, Poganin, I adore your writing and I'm sorry if you're offended. I also understand your reluctance to "butt in." I felt the same way, and I couldn't help it either.

Oh!

::cracks knuckles, letting hands hover menacingly over the keyboard::

Religious Zealot at 9 O'Clock Cap'n!

Roger that Ensign, lock on all torpedo's and fire at my mark.

Yes Sir!

::complicated hand motions to signify that torpedo's are armed, and locked as ordered::

Fire!

::said missles are fired, but detonate harmlessly far from the target::

Sorry Sir, her unreasonable faith in the non-exsistant being of god (Jesus Christ, Jesus Christ, Jesus Christ!) has defeated our logic based missle systems!

Damn her and her infernal inability to see the truth!

This vignette brought to you by those that can't stand uppity religious folk who have to go find people to convert.

Such as missionaries, who withhold humanitarian aid to those that refused to adopt their faith.

Or, in more pointed terms. (Yes, yes, I'm a horrible man, but I'm saying exactly what is on my mind...and when have I not? Never!)

This is a personal attack on Cleaning Lady. Excommunicate this!

::raises offending finger::

Edited Bit!!! Besides, god is black and female. We all know that. Shesh.

More Edited Bit!!! I know I am abrasive. I work really hard to be such, except to you special folk (oddly enough, their all women ). But I can not sit by, and abide a person who does something similar to. "Oh? Your don't believe in MY god? Well, here, have a phamplet and listen to me spew maggot ridden...ahh...listen to be preach MY god to you."

It is no secret. I have no god per-say, but I do have a higher being. And if my higher-being is YOUR god, then I'll gladly spend my time playing poker with the devil and both Anti-Christs. (Nero and Martin Luther...though I probably wont like Luther too much.)

Religion? God? is there really such a thing?

Yeah what Rhovan said.

This seems like the right time and place to share this email I got with ya’ll.

Grandma and her friends

The other day I went up to a local Christian bookstore and saw a Honk if you love Jesus bumper sticker.

I was feeling particularly sassy that day because I had just come from a thrilling choir performance, followed by a thunderous prayer meeting, so I bought the sticker and put in on my bumper.

I was stopped at a red light at a busy intersection, just lost in thought about the Lord and how good He is and I didn't notice that the light had changed.

It is a good thing someone else loves Jesus because if he hadn't honked, I'd never have noticed.

I found that LOTS of people love Jesus. Why, while I was sitting there, the guy behind started honking like crazy, and when he leaned out of his window and screamed, "for the love of God, GO! GO!" What an exuberant cheerleader he was for Jesus.

Everyone started honking! I just leaned out of my window and started waving and smiling at all these loving people.

I even honked my horn a few times to share in the love. There must have been a man from Florida back there because I heard him yelling something about a sunny beach...

I saw another guy waving in a funny way with only his middle finger stuck up in the air. When I asked my teenage grandson in the back seat what that meant, he said that it was probably a Hawaiian good luck sign or something.

Well, I've never met anyone from Hawaii, so I leaned out the window and gave him the good luck sign back.

My grandson burst out laughing, why even he was enjoying this religious experience.

A couple of the people were so caught up in the joy of the moment that they got out of their cars and started walking towards me.

I bet they wanted to pray or ask what church I attended, but this is when I noticed the light had changed.

So, I waved to all my sisters and brothers grinning, and drove on through the intersection.

I noticed I was the only car that got through the intersection before the light changed again and I felt kind of sad that I had to leave them after all the love we had shared, so I slowed the car down, leaned out of the window and gave them all the Hawaiian good luck sign one last time as I drove away.

Praise the Lord for such wonderful folks! Love, Grandma.

 

[Poganin]

You're a believer, Shereads? I think I remember you saying you were an agnostic... Nevermind.

Anyway, I wasn't offended initially but now I am, and disgusted to boot. What point are you trying to make by writing such rubbish? Appointed by God? Bad taste, really bad taste.

Yes, dear. That's exactly the point I was trying to make.

And the beat goes on.....

When I am lonely and full of hate...I go to the forum boards....whenI am alone and full of ignorance I go to the forum boards....
When I am stupid and alone I have to criticize others on the forum boards...(to the tune of going down town)


Ya know TCL...with people like you in the world I find it incredible that we are considered the higher life form. People with your attitude of hypocrisy and ignorance are going to be the death of us. Here you preach(pun intended) about how gawd would be offended and BS. Well TCL I am offended. I am offended you are here on this planet taking up space and eating animals...using electricity and creating more trash that my daughter's children will have to take care of. I am offended you are polluting my air with your rancid ideas and high moralistic snobbery. get a gawd damn life.

This announcement was brought to you by me and the founders of get a life for my sanity

*takes deep breath before adding her lil' bit*

I am not going to say from what religious angle ( or not ) I'm approaching this issue, but hey ... let's throw Shakespeare into this.

"To thine own self be true, then it must follow as the day the night,
Thou canst not then be false to any man."

What you are ... or what you perceive yourself to be is up to your own conscience and sense of identity.
Look to yourself ... find your own code ... you are answerable only for yourself ...

Care and love of others is honourable ... but even in real life criticism/direction/guidance can be taken the wrong way.

Above all, this is supposed to be fiction ...
For me writing surely is an issue of creating an alterntive reality?
I share aspects of myself in my writing ... but no one can assume to *know* an author by reading his/her writing.

We all do our best with what we know.

Bottom line is:

If you are offended by something ... don't read it:

Some things I do not want to read.
If it's subject linked, I don't click on the threads.
If it's someone's style or content, I avoid their posts.
In that case it's not the person's fault.
It's me exercising personal choice whilst they have freedom of speech.

If you think this forum is "wrong" in its content... don't come here ...
Self explantory .... so many forums on Lit or different websites.

The best way of "bearing witness" to your beliefs or values is sometimes as simple as the off switch.

Apologies in advance if my comments offend.
They are not directed specifically at any of the previous posters ... just stating my view on this issue ...

Thank you for taking the time to read.
