Demonstrating Dummy Donors
Yesterday I washed my filthy car. I HATE washing cars. I'd rather eat a pile of dirt. But once I realized that a load of dirt in my stomach wasn't going to get my car clean any quicker, I decided to fore-go the ingestion of dirt and wash the damn car. I finally thought that I should because it was extremely difficult to see out of the windows. And I'm not kidding. I think that I ran over at least 4 people and didn't even realize it.
I've always hated washing cars, always. I don't mind washing dishes, it's kind of meditative in a way. I think shining tires is completely ludicrous. I do it, but I think it's crazy. We drive on them. To me, it's like shining the bottom of your shoes. Now I agree, clean cars and shined tires look really nice, I just hate doing it. And then I think of all the chemicals we use on washing these cars and rinsing them right into the earth and our own water supply, our food supply and air supply and eventually we won't even notice when we begin to resemble really clean and glossy walking, talking things. I imagine in the future that even when we fart, it will come out as a squeak.
Anyway, I did start zoning out while I was scrubbing those damn tires. I began thinking about the Westboro Baptist Church fuckers of the god hates fags fame. Yesterday morning CNN reported on how these assholes have been demonstrating outside the funerals of soldiers that have been killed in Iraq and professing that god is killing soldiers AND coal miners because of America's tolerance of gays. I actually laughed. Out loud. I wasn't angry (or surprised) for my socially oppressed group. I was angry for the family and friends of the fallen soldiers that these morons are demonstrating in front of.
Now, I DO forgive them and I wish that I could tell you that I imagined a chorus of thousands dressed in white surrounding them singing Amazing Grace or Sweet Home Alabama. Or maybe a choir of a thousand gay men on rollerskates orbiting the group clad in sequined thongs and wings on their backs and huge poofy afro wigs singing It's Raining Men by The Weather Girls. However, to be honest with you, I imagined myself hiding in the bushes in front of these churches, clad in my camouflage uniform, face painted in dark colors and twigs taped to my head to blend in, with Deb (my best bud from my military days) talking to each other in hushed baby voices shooting them. I actually fantasized killing them. I try to be against killing anything, not even bugs, but I wanted to kill them, slowly...beginning with their knee caps.
The cameras showed these protestors quoting from the Bible (holding it up and pointing to lines and passages) and spewing hate and broadcasting their stupidity loud and clear. I used to refer to it as ignorance, but that was really giving them the benefit of the doubt. There's no excuse anymore. People need to start rubbing together what 3 brain cells they have and begin figuring things out for themselves. Deductive reasoning is really rather something when encouraged. Common sense should really be more common. And it begins with questioning - EVERYTHING.
So, I started thinking. These people honestly believe that the Bible was faxed down from a creator that spews forth hate and destruction and can't possibly realize that they're actually spreading evil themselves. So, instead of killing them, I have a solution.
I think with so many dumb pieces of shit roaming America's plains and breeding unchecked, we should begin harvesting organs, skin, cartilage, valves and veins from these animals. Instead of taking bovine valves from cows or porcine valves from poor innocent pigs for human cardiac surgery, take valves from these fuckheads. Instead of harvesting a liver or a kidney or a heart from a person that was just killed, take it from one of these asswipes. They're living, just put them on a fucking table and take their shit...Well, not their shit, but you know...And if they put up a fight? We'll just tell them that the Bible told them to do it and they'll be all for it.
Now, we won't be able to take their brains. It's obvious that they don't have them to take. We could take the tops of their nervous systems...yeah, we could take the tops of their spinal cords and then maybe use whatever IS in the area where the brain should've been and use it for...for...packing material, like Styrofoam, or bubble wrap.

I dated a Crazy Christian for a while. He hid it pretty effectively until the depths of my heathen liberalism started to annoy him. I went on and on about how the bible has been changed and modified to the whim of various rulers through the years and how it's great to read it for support or whatever, but reading it as a literal text is useless waste of time.
ahem...
Yeah... we're not together anymore.
people that have views that go too far right or left often find themsleves LOST in the cause. These protesters are WACKED out! Our armed forces are there to promoteFREEDOM and spread the word of an "anti-christ" that I call democracy. Yep, look how well it worked for the USSR. hmmm. Yep.
Kevin I am SHOCKED and amazzed that you,would want to kill them...WHY would you want to become the very "thing" that you hate? ~shakes sense into him~
On a humorous note..I am just wondering how you went from washing you car to protestors....LOL
~secretly hugs kevin~
I love you man!
That pisses me off to no end. I cant even begin to imagine the brainwashing that goes in to recruiting a member. What I dont get is how they can live with themselves and how they can be so disrespectful.
Im afraid if I needed a trasnplant Id actually think twice or three times if I knew it was coming from one of those kinds of people!! Im getting less and less tolerant of small minded, rude, insensitive people *screams* phew now I feel better *hugs*
EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEWWWW!
I was just having a conversation with my sister regarding the religion we were brought up in but no longer are in, but our crazy mom is out of her mind from it...ARAUGH!!!!!!!!!
I don't honestly want to kill them. However, I did fantasize about it.
Ok, I am much too busy to read your blog post because I am on VACATION and all that shit, but I do have time to look at your Flickr photos and A) Will's a babe and B) you fish, so now Hugh is going to try and claim you as his friend and YOU ARE MY FRIEND FIRST as evidenced by the fact that I am in Hawaii yet looking at your photos.
I'm kidding - I reead your post and it makes me so sad to think that these people are out there, raising children to hate and judge...
Those GHF jerks make me so sad and mad. I know there are constitutional ammendments and sh*t, but it truly doesn't seem fair that they can be applied to this group.
okay for a while in my teens I waxed romantic about religion and acctually dragged miss melanie to church with me to try to "reclaim my faith" I walked out on the sermon when the preacher told me (no shit) that I was going to hell for watching soap opera's. That is where it starts, with small little barbs to your psychy like that, making you think the most innocent of acts will send you to the firey pits of hell. on the lighter side, try Dr. Brauners all natural peppermint soaps for the earth friendly car washing, its bio-degradable and you can use for everything, hair, body, teeth (diluted) cars, dishes. and it comes with some very interesting literature on the bottle not to mention the wonderfull smell of peppermint, it usually in the health food section of any local supermarket, or for the lucky little so call dweller, trader vics.
She totally did drag me to church with her! Holy shit, I forgot all about that right there... blocked it out of my memory, I think.
I tell you what, man, if that's Christianity, I am happy being a heathen.
And I would so be right there with you in the bushes covered with camo paint, man.
Kevin, I gotta say. I love your blog. I grew up Mormon. I also have a dad that at one point 'thought' he was gay. My mom of course still holds this against him. I hate it. I sometimes think that he didn't follow through with it, cause he was afraid. I love my dad with all my heart, and told him I always would. My sister, however, told him that if he indeed did act upon his desires or whatever, she would not let him see her or her kids again. I am sick at that thought. That is one HUGE reason I left the church. I could not allow someone else to tell me how I should feel about my father!
Ok, a little off topic, but yeah, I am hormonal and moody right now.
Oh, and hubby likes to wash our car, good for him, cause I am too lazy!
I tried out this 'church' about 10 yrs ago. When the first dude started talking anti-abortion I stood to leave. The BF sat me back down. When the dude started talking abt gays-we both stood, and left. It was a most righteous feeling!
(were you offering to pull my hair earlier?)
New here and I have to say I think that's a freakin' genius idea. The thing that gets me is when I have uber-Jesus-scary students in my class (I teach Human Sexuality) and they quote the Bible, "But the Bible says that homosexuality is wrong. It's an abomination unto the Lord." And my fear of losing my teaching fellowship prevents me from saying, "Are you quoting Deuteronomy? Oh, you are? So the Old Testament is the 'one and true word of God' as well, then? Okay, so are you keeping kosher? Do you believe the story of Balaam's talking donkey, 'cause that's some crazy shiz-nit in Numbers, isn't it? And in Leviticus, where we learn that women shouldn't teach or that men shouldn't wear clothes of two different fibers? That's in the Bible, too. What about all that poly-blend you're sporting?" But when I have tenure? Oh, we'll have some fun.
personally I liked the image of a thousand gay men in a thong wings and roller skates happily harmonizing its raining men while circling them. thank you for that.
Margaret - right on and sorry...you were too good for him.
Superstar - definitely. Any extreme form of anything gives the whole group a bad representation and should be noticed as such. People should realize this about Islam as well. And thanks for the hug! :)
Kim - I know...I know... :) they freak me the fuck out.
Paints - My Dad is tradional Greek Orthodox. You should hear some of our conversations. whew.
Kristin - you are in so much trouble I don't even know where to begin. HA! Will glowed when I told him of your compliment...very sweet. I hope that you're having a SPENDID time and I really wish that I could be with you and the kids...honestly. and you're right - I wanted to scream when I saw them with their children holding hate signs...they can have kids, but we can't.
Jessica - I know. I'm thankful that everyone can say whatever they want, but man...I'm thinking of starting a gay mafia to take care of these idiots. I'm trying to figure out what we're going to wear...I'm going to have to check with headquarters. HA!
Denise - thanks for the info! I'll look for it. We do use some kind of bio-degradable soap, but I'll look for this multi-purpose stuff. It certainly sounds like it covers everything. And Soap Opera's??? wow...control-control-control.
And thanks for mentioning the rollerskate scene. I thought we needed a little comic relief.
Mel - thanks man, I knew I could count on you! There's actually some really liberal, progressive churches here in Santa Barbara that attract the faith-based population with brains. They give Christians a good name.
Beth - wow.wow.wow. You are so damn cool. Your poor Dad. And actually your poor Mom and sister too. They're taking it so personally when it actually has nothing to do with them. Oh man...that makes my heart hurt. I'm truly glad that your Dad has you though. You're a wise soul, aren't you?
~d - GOOD FOR YOU! Absolutely! People like you guys give me faith and keep me going...and yes, I was offering to pull your hair...just a little. :)
Teacher Lady - thanks so much for visiting and commenting as well! Brava! and BINGO! And when you start quoting it like that, they probably don't know what to do. Again, people like you give me faith and hope. And I'll be looking forward to your tenure as I'm sure you are! :)
I see why you hate washing your car. Not only is it a sucky task, but it got you thinking of those bastards.
Lisa
Not that I believe in hell, as was taught in Sunday School -
but there is a special place in hell (self-imposed) for those who spew hate, and plant it in their children's hearts as well.
Karma Baby, Karma.
I cringe at anything "Christian" anymore. Very sad.
It's going to be up to the rest of us to counteract that shit....
God is a God of love.
It says 'Judge ye not, lest I be the judge'...or something like that. When people get all religious and begin to spew hate, I ignore them. One, they don't know what the heck they are talking about and two, they are of no importance anyway.
People with closed minds hold no relevance. They are what they are...Ig-No-Rant.
Purely ignorant.
I love the symmetry of your kill fantasises. Nutters who are complaining that soldiers are being killed because of gays become nutters who get killed by soldiers who are gay.
Has it occurred to them that the people shooting at soldiers in Iraq are people with whose sexual politics they largely agree?
I was out shopping once when a Crazy Christian decided to follow me and my friends around the shop, trying to save our souls. We tried asking him nicely to go away but it didn't work. It got so irritating we ended up screaming at him, but he just wouldn't leave us alone until we left. As soon as we got away, we saw him walk up to another group of people.
Ok, a lot of you know I am a preacher's wife. Hubby and I recently watched that freaky woman who does PR for the Westboro Nut Church on YouTube. We were appalled. No, beyond appalled. Driven to rage. She is not a Christian. I REPEAT, she is not a Christian no matter what she says. She goes against sooooo many things that are stated in the Bible it isn't even funny. She makes all Christians look bad and it makes me raging mad to think she thinks she is representing Christianity. I am positive God's gonna deal with that whack job in the future. Our prayers are always with the poor family and friends of those men and women who died over seas.
I am so baffled by these jerkoffs who think that they know the word of "god" (whom I don't believe in, by the way). Everyone should just get along! The only time people do something that is unacceptable to me is when they're hurting someone else. Gay people aren't hurting anyone. Honestly, they do nothing but make life more FUN. (If I could watch Queer Eye for 10 days in a row in a would.) I absolutely do not follow these crackpots' logic that soldiers are being killed because we're tolerant of gays. What about the "don't ask, don't tell" policy? That's not exactly "tolerant." I just don't understand them.
My best friend went lived through the Stonewall riots...
With all the torrible things that had happened in his life...
That was the only thing/event that wouldcause a tear to come to his eyes when he told the story to me...
Too many people use God's name for their own selfish hateful agendas..
No god of mine would hate someone for loving too much...
Kev I'm all over the knee cap thing. I do have something less lethal though. My son has a paintball marker that shoots 15 balls per second. Plus it leaves huge welts on those that are slow.
Lisa - yep, definitely a bad side effect.
Holly - karma baby...you're right. It's just unfortunate when I think of how we're all interconnected as well. bastards. And, they're a bad representation of Christians. Christina's right, they're not Christian. I'm certain that Christ would cringe at the thought.
Awaiting - so true. They're also sheep, lining up for the slaughter.
Moobs - Dude...you're so damn good, I didn't even THINK of that! HA! wow...and YEAH ASSHOLES! WHAT MOOBS SAID!
Sam - what a persistant shit! He's probably going to eventually get a kick to the crotch.
Christina - couldn't agree more.
Banana - I know, I know. This country is actually not that tolerant. Austrailia, U.K., Canada, Spain, Netherlands, Czech Republic - just to name a few have allowed gay unions and see? Those countries are crumbling into the depths of hell and hetero marriages are falling apart as I write this!
Pend - ugh...as soon as "god" was singled out to be just "ONE", there's been fighting and damnation in "his" name. bunch of stupid fucks.
Rains - LMFAO!!! I KNEW IT! I was going to actually include you in my vision and link to you, 'cause I KNEW you'd be there with me!! Oh man, I'm laughing right now!
The paint ball guns sound awesome. Can we mix some dogshit in with the paint somehow?
They protested in my town recently after we lost a man over there. I was outraged. Still am. What a paradox! I mean, these soldiers are dying so they can have the freedom to protest and yet they protest not only the war but the soldiers, their lifestyles...When a soldier dies their family shouldn't have to be put through more shit than what they already have to deal with.
I cant even begin to imagine the brainwashing that goes in to recruiting a member.
They're all family members. I'm pretty sure Phelps is the dad to all of them. Fucking freaks. I'm not all together sure why the families of the fallen don't counter attack em masse. I mean, honestly, what would they do then? Run like little cry-babies, that's what.
Hey, if there's going to be paint/shit ball goodness, count me in!
"Common sense should really be more common."
pastor Charnas, do you have a p.o. box where I can fire off 10% of my paychecks? because, preach.
p.s. the second best part of this post? the thousand gay angels on skates. (please say they're also equipped with rainbow suspenders.)
xo and you rule.
A friend of mine went to a demonstration of theirs in a little town in New York a couple of years ago. The community was primarily made up of families of law enforcement and firefighters.
F**king Phelps had these little kids out in the rain carrying placards with the twin towers burning and slogans such as God Hates You.
She followed them around and filmed them.
Absolutely disgusting.
Kevin - I finally managed to post a comment!! Hooray!!
Yes, I agree with you. I'm usually quite alarmed by the indoctrinated religios types. They sound like they ought to be all for living together and forgiving, and yet they are often the most narrow-minded people in the world. Us unbelievers are far more rounded open-minded people. (And what's more we have to work out our own set of rules to live by - no book or prophet is there to hand it to us on a plate).
Loved the image of the Gay men in the sequinned thongs singing Its Raining Men, by the way. ;o)
Spaniel xx
I wouldn't want a hair off the head of one of those idiots, thank you very much! And if they had the last tank of air left on the bottom of the ocean, well, I'd be shark bait.
Carrie
the sad thing is they're giving GOOD christians such a bad name. i'm a christian. i'm in church every sunday. but i think its ridiculous to be like this. i've NEVER acted like this and i'm not a bible thumping moron like they are. its pathetic. its WRONG. and nowhere in the bible does it ever say anything about blaming gay people for things that are wrong on earth. how freakin pathetic and SINFUL! they're all hypocrites. being a christian is about sharing love. and how is that sharing love at a SOLDIERS funeral. a soldier who DIED for your ass. dont even get me started kevin LOL. love the post. take out their kneecaps.
The threat to ALL of us isn't from Phelps and his crazies. It is from the mainstream crazies, the ones people DO accept and the ones that DO have the power: Falwell, Robertson, Dobson, and the three branches of our government that are all determined to legislate "Christian" morals for us.
Phelps will go away, but these others will not . . .
i like to clean the bottom of my work shoes with alcohol wipes.
its fun and makes my shoes look whiter.
m
Kevin, I think I mentioned over at Oh The Joys Blog that I am a Christian - just not a good Christian. LOL
Love you.
I hope these sorry fuckers smarten up one day.
I did. All hope is not lost.
Meg - I know...makes me sick and thanks for stopping by!
Gratis - I knew we could count on you, Rains will get you all ready.
lildb - thank you (deep bow), I'm humbly yours. :)
Attila - sick, sick, sick. maybe a few asshats?
Spaniel - YYaayy!! so good to see you, or read you...glad that you're here. And, I love that you loved the scene. thanks.
Carrie - I don't blame you... :)
Becky - Like Christina said, they're not Christians...
Charlie - right on target as usual...
Nikki - I have nothing against true Christians.
Molly - I've done that as well when I worked in hospitals, but it was to get the shit off...literally.
I actually (ummm) like having my hair pulled-a little, you know?
I completely agree--"Ignorance" is letting them off too lightly. This type of hatred is cultivated and nurtured and it makes me sick to my stomach.
Organ-Harvesting. Too good for them, I say. (and even though I am not a particularly spiritual being, the idea of getting one of those homophobe's livers makes me shudder)
right. now i'm sorry that my internet connection has been so sketchy recently and that i missed this.
new idea (that no one will see - whatever): what if we got the native americans off of the reservations and gave them decent places to live and put all these crazy fuckers there instead. yeah, i'd like to see them in the middle of nowhere trying to live off the land.
ps. last time i washed my care i used water and vinegar. it worked pretty well and didn't kill anything.
Amen...I'm all for involuntary organ-harvesting of the mindless.
