NT Should Start Having Revival Meetings.

It would seem that NT is in need of having regular ''Revival Meeting''.

My suggest would be to have them on a weekly basis.

I have scheduled the first ''Revival Meeting'' to take place in a tent, erected especially for NT.

I've invited Elmer Gantry to be our first guest preacher. Now, I'll have to have one of your raise him from the dead.

Please feel free to bring your snakes, or any other objects you feel are necessary to make this a good revival.

Fainting is allowed, and in fact, encouraged. Thiswill allow Elmer to work his magic. Speaking in Tongues is also accepted and expected.

Sinclair Lewis will be in attendance. He will be recording the first ''Revival Meeting'' for future generations.

If you are unfamiliar with Elmer Gantry or Sinclair Lewis, you should read Lewis's book entitled ''Elmer Gantry'', or see the movie Elmer Gantry, starring Burt Lancaster and Jean Simmons.

Why bother, you guys put one of those on every day around here. Strange for non-religionists to preach. But you do have your own gospel, all ideologues do...Grin.gif

There you go again NWM, making assumptions. You have no idea if I'm religious or not. But if it fits your ideology, go for it.

Obviously you missed the point of the articleentirely.

The point was sarcasm. Doesn't matter. Have your fun.

When the new site is up and running, none of this crap will see the front page ever again.

I can't wait. Grin.gif

So if you don't agree with it, it's crap...I guess that make's many of your comments crap, or even bigoted.

There is a lot I disagree with that isn't crap. But trying to pass off sarcasm towards others as humor is exactly that.

And nothing will ever change that. I'll just be glad when it cannot trash the front page anymore.

Sorry that you sensitivities are offended NWM. But, you'll have to live with it.

I don't see you complaining when sarcasm from others is passed off as humor. Double standard NWM?

I suggest you attend an Elmer Gantry indoctrination session BF. It would do you a world, or out of this world, of good.

Praise the Lord and pass the hat.

I'm not sure pat. I do know that there will be areas to go if you want to piss and moan, and others if you want to have a debaae.

I've never attended one. What are they like?

Frominteresting to bizarre One.

Watching ''Elmer Gantry'' will give you a fair idea of it.

I mean no disrespectKavika. Being old as dirt, I've seen the movie, read the book. I was looking for a sophister's point of view of 'what's the fuss' about now. Or a point/counter-point exchange. I sorely lack information in this regard and can't watch a movie right now.

Actually One, the article is a counter point to the numerous religious articles that have been posted.

The Elmer Gantry reference is how hypocritical religion can be. That was the whole point of the my article.

That, and poking fun at some.

If I spent more time here, I'd probably know that, thanks. I didn't want to assume.

Hypocrisy is an abundant resource in this setting. Religion (or not) is but one.

''Hypocrisy is an abundant resource in this setting. Religion (or not) is but one.'' Indeed it is.

You'll seea couple of articles on the front page regarding this topic (religion). Seems some are upset if that free speech is be taken away. Others are sick of the constant religious articles that are seen as proselytizing.

I poke fun at us all the time, sorry that you don't know that.

There is a difference in poking fun, and hate filled, derogatory rants, based on a white trash point of view.

But, that's just you.

I see no difference. Both can be used as keyboard bait. Kind of like acting ignorant and enlightend. [[(wink)]}.

Mike, if you really knew anything about Indians at all, you would understand that I'm not pissed. I simply handle the type of trash that you wrote in our way. Someday, ifyou really tried to understand yourself and us, you'd might actually be worth commenting with.

Other than that, I really don't see any reason to communicate with you.

With all of the religious discussion of proselytizing makes me thank God that I'm an atheist. Are we going to be allowed to be at the revival? Smile.gif

Only if you bring your own snake, or can speak in tongues.

Failing both of those, slip me a $20 and your in.

Praise the Lord and pass the hat, brother.Smile.gif

I can get really stoned and then I could probably speak in tongues, especially if I don't drink anything and get "cotton mouth". Still I'll bring $20 with me just in case.Grin.gif
