As I was walking down town the other day I happened
to see a frenchman
cursing in German at a passing car full of halfeaten
souls. Upon seeing
this I realised that I had told one to many stories.
The terror hit me what
if instead of feasting on souls I became some other
madmans lunch. The
terror increased what if I fell into the pit I was digging,
you know the pit
of lies? Perhpas nelso was right doing evil that good
may come was wrong.
I staggered at the thought. As I contemplated the error
of my ways the car
full of half eaten souls swerved to avoid one of the
delusions I had
created. They failed to avoid it completley and as
I saw them get pulled
into the net I had laid for them ontelogical terror
set in. If I had done
such a wicked thing what should become of me. I had
planted the seeds of
discord and falshood what kind of crop should I hope
to harvest. The
possibility that I would have to pay for the dammage
of the sanity of these
people filled me with fear. I was in the bottom of
the pit I had dug for
their souls and the mouth was about to cave in on me.
Shurly this would be
my ruin.
Fortunately my God had left a rope out of the pit that
I had dug due to the
fact that I allowed myself to be humbled by him and
after I repented. He
pulled me out. Oh but the shame for the delusions I
had cast. The people
in the car were still in the pit I had dug. I still
was not sure what kind
of reward I should expect for being the cause of such
an evil. I had
immagined this wicked device and put it together. The
delusion I had been
saved of by the skin of my theeth was still devouring
these souls who did
not know about my God or the rope he had put into the
pit I had dug. I was
free but still responsible for these souls being in
my pit.
All I knew to do was to cut the delusion off at it source
and hope I could
pull out the souls. But they did not want to believe
in my God or use the
rope he let down. Woa is me for I have sinned. All
I know how to do is
forget the things behind me and look to the things ahead.
I had repented of
the sin. The dammage was done now all I could do was
try desperately to
undue the dammage, and try not to sin further. I hope
you can hear me I
have lied to you and immagined wicked things aginst
you. I am sorry. My
mouth spits poison and cursing. Turn to the Living
God who I beg to forgive
me for misleading you. He has led me out of that pit
but I hate to think
that you are still in it. I want you out of there but
I do not know what to
do if you will not turn to Jehovah and obey his command.
He is your
salvation. It was not me who did this evil it was sin
dwelling in me. I
serve christ with my mind but my members serve the law
of sin and death.
The sin that dewls with me is excedingly wicked. Jesus
is your only hope.
Repent, I urge you.
If the righteous are scarcely saved what should become of the sinner?
I applogise to anyone I have missled. It was my intention
to do good but I
probably should have stuck to scriptures. I only pray
to God that he will
have mercy on me a sinner.

What The Bible Says About Drunkenness
Here are a few Bible passages about getting drunk.
In the Old Testament, the Bible says:
Proverbs chapter 20 (CEV)
1It isn't smart to get drunk!
Drinking makes a fool of you
and leads to fights.
Hosea chapter 4 (TEV)
11 The Lord says, "Wine, both old and new, is robbing
my people of
their senses!"
Proverbs chapter 23 (TEV)
19 Listen, my child, be wise and give serious thought
to the way you
live. 20 Don't associate with people who drink too much
wine or stuff
themselves with food. 21 Drunkards and gluttons will
be reduced to
poverty. If all you do is eat and sleep, you will soon
be wearing
rags.
29 Show me people who drink too much, who have to try
out fancy
drinks, and I will show you people who are miserable
and sorry for
themselves, always causing trouble and always complaining.
Their eyes
are bloodshot, and they have bruises that could have
been avoided.
31 Don't let wine tempt you, even though it is rich
red, and it
sparkles in the cup, and it goes down smoothly. 32 The
next morning
you will feel as if you had been bitten by a poisonous
snake. 33 Weird
sights will appear before your eyes, and you will not
be able to think
or speak clearly. 34 You will feel as if you were out
on the ocean,
seasick, swinging high up in the rigging of a tossing
ship. 35 "I must
have been hit," you will say; "I must have
been beaten up, but I don't
remember it. Why can't I wake up? I need another drink."
A prophet of ancient Israel warned of a coming disaster.
One of the
things he said was:
Isaiah chapter 28 (NLT)
1 Destruction is certain for the city of Samaria - the
pride and joy
of the drunkards of Israel! 7 Israel is being led by
drunks! The
priests and prophets reel and stagger from beer and
wine. They make
stupid mistakes as they carry out their responsibilities.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
There are also Bible quotations in the New Testament
warning
Christians not to get drunk. The whole frame of mind
of a Christian
should be one in which we don't want to be controlled
by some
substance that might make us do unchristian things -
the types of
things described in the Old Testament, for instance.
The ultimate
consequences of allowing this to happen could be very
serious!
The Bible says, warning about the end of the world:
1 Thessalonians chapter 5 (NLT)
1 I really don't need to write to you about how and
when all this will
happen, dear brothers and sisters. 2 For you know quite
well that the
day of the Lord will come unexpectedly, like a thief
in the night. 3
When people are saying, "All is well; everything
is peaceful and
secure," then disaster will fall upon them as suddenly
as a woman's
birth pains begin when her child is about to be born.
And there will
be no escape.
4 But you aren't in the dark about these things, dear
brothers and
sisters, and you won't be surprised when the day of
the Lord comes
like a thief. 5 For you are all children of the light
and of the day;
we don't belong to darkness and night.
6 So be on your guard, not asleep like the others. Stay
alert and be
sober. 7 Night is the time for sleep and the time when
people get
drunk. 8 But let us who live in the light think clearly,
protected by
the body armor of faith and love, and wearing as our
helmet the
confidence of our salvation. 9 For God decided to save
us through our
Lord Jesus Christ, not to pour out his anger on us.
10 He died for us
so that we can live with him forever, whether we are
dead or alive at
the time of his return.

And The
Return Of Jesus Christ.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The Bible doesn't say that people shouldn't drink; it
only says that
people shouldn't get drunk.
In the Book of Proverbs, the Bible says:
Proverbs chapter 31 (TEV)
1 These are the solemn words which King Lemuel's mother
said to him:
2 "You are my own dear son, the answer to my prayers.
What shall I
tell you?
4 Listen, Lemuel. Kings should not drink wine or have
a craving for
alcohol. 5 When they drink, they forget the laws and
ignore the rights
of people in need.
6 Alcohol is for people who are dying, for those who
are in misery. 7
Let them drink and forget their poverty and unhappiness.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
In the New Testament, the Bible advises Christians:
Ephesians chapter 5 (NLT)
18 Don't be drunk with wine, because that will ruin
your life.
Instead, let the Holy Spirit fill and control you.
The Bible says that the Holy Spirit is a part of God
who will be given
to true Christians and will live in them to make them
better people.
One of the writers of the letters that were put in the
Bible, Paul,
instructed Christians:
Galatians chapter 5 (NLT)
16 I advise you to live according to your new life in
the Holy Spirit.
Then you won't be doing what your sinful nature craves.
17 The old
sinful nature loves to do evil, which is just opposite
from what the
Holy Spirit wants. And the Spirit gives us desires that
are opposite
from what the sinful nature desires. These two forces
are constantly
fighting each other, and your choices are never free
from this
conflict. ....
19 When you follow the desires of your sinful nature,
your lives will
produce these evil results: sexual immorality, impure
thoughts,
eagerness for lustful pleasure, 20 idolatry, participation
in demonic
activities, hostility, quarreling, jealousy, outbursts
of anger,
selfish ambition, divisions, the feeling that everyone
is wrong except
those in your own little group, 21 envy, drunkenness,
wild parties,
and other kinds of sin.
Let me tell you again, as I have before, that anyone
living that sort
of life will not inherit the Kingdom of God.
22 But when the Holy Spirit controls our lives, he will
produce this
kind of fruit in us:
love,
joy,
peace,
patience,
kindness,
goodness,
faithfulness,
23 gentleness,
and self-control....

That's because they never post the *good* verses,

Sodomites 13:14
"And then he reacheth around, catching the fair
one
unawares, sitting at her vanity, applying the makeup
of the harlot, and grabeth a hearty handful of her
enormous breasts. She gaspeth, but the IN THE NAME
OF THE LORD, he covers her mouth with his and giveth
her a kiss that is deepeth and tongueth.
And as she begs him to stop, but not meaning it, and
he bendeth her over her vanity and plungeth his mighty
Hebrew salami between her tender loins. And she sayeth
Argl-bargl a buncheth and make moan like an injured
goat.
And it was pleasing to THE LORD to watch his children
who
were NOT faggots.

Apparently you missed my post addressed to you the other
day, so here it
is again where you can't miss it:
Attn: Christian Guy (Whatever you're calling yourself today):
I'm very angry with the way you've been blaspheming
God all over the
place in here. What did God ever do to you that you
would try to make
God look so stupid, vicious, and petty? Do you honestly
think that WE,
insignificant earth creatures that we are, could have
a sense of humor
and GOD CANNOT? How dare you insult God in that fashion!
If you want
PROOF that God has a sense of humor just look up the
news clippings we
post in here every day. Ninety-year-old man gets KICKED
TO DEATH by an
OSTRICH. What more proof do you need????
God loves us and wants us to be happy, no matter what
it says in a
four-thousand-year-old book written by desert tribesmen
and translated
by ignorant medieval clerks. You don't use a BOOK to
think about your
GOD!! YOU'RE SOAKING IN IT!!!
There's only one immortal character in the entire Bible
that would want
the people of Earth to fear and resent God, and that's
SATAN! That's
who you're REALLY serving when you post this hateful,
insulting
nonsense!! Turn away from Satan, man, before it's TOO
LATE!!
----------------------------------------------------------------------
From: "antibob" <antibob97@yahoo.com>
I did not miss it the first time I simply had no comment.
I wasn't sure if
you were addressing me or just any one who would call
themselves a Christian
guy. Now that you have made it clear that you are speaking
to me directly,
I suppose I can reply to your post. I am not shure
exactly where I posted
anything that you consider Blasphemy. I am not sure
where I have posted
anything that makes God look stupid vicious and petty.
I do not recall even
implying that God did not have a sense of humor either.
I do not find a
story about a 90 year old man getting kicked to death
by an ostrich
particularly funny BTW, so I think that is a lousy proof
that God has a
sense of humor. I use a book to know God better, though
I realize that we
can know a lot about God through creation. I agree
that Satan would want us
to resent God but I also believe that God wants us to
fear him. As the
proverb says "The beginning of wisdom is the fear
of the lord." But from
your post I gather that you do not care about the Bible
or what is in it.
I had a hard time believing that your post was to me
because I did not see
how it applied to my except that I happen to be a "Christian
guy" Did you
even read my posts or are you just trying to start an
argument with me? I
do not appreciate you accusing me of insulting and blaspheming
God. I do
not think your accusations have any basis in reality
either. If you are
just trying to get into a flame war then perhaps I was
wise in ignoring your
first post but since you came and directed your uninformed
and ignorant post
towards me I will respond. I have not insulted God
and Your accusations are
false and slanderous. I do not know what you are trying
to accomplish
except possibly to inflame my wrath. I will try to
suppress my wrath
because I believe you speak out of ignorance and vainglory.
Is it true you
are of the church of scientology? Is this an example
of the mentality of
Scientologists? I will try not to form a prejudicial
view of all
scientologists based on this petty attack on my character
and the Scriptures
that I know are the word of God.

I'm sorry, I thought you were able to see the other

newsgroup, and thus realize that you are in fact the

his self-proclaimed Christianity shamelessly in public,
in direct
contradiction to Jesus's teachings, which advise us

The Church of the SubGenius is a group dedicated to
promoting humor,
personal liberty, and the abundant use of the brains
God gave us. All
of those are good things that God would want us to do.
So first of all
you insult God by implying that God is too mean and
too humorless to
enjoy our antics. Then you further blaspheme by threatening
the people
on this newsgroup with an eternity in Hell. God alone
is fit to judge
men, as it says MANY MANY times in the Bible. Yet despite
this clear
and amply repeated commandment, you have judged us,
and you have decided
we ought to be in Hell. You see fit to tell us what
God thinks of us.
You! A mere man! I don't think blasphemy gets more
blatant than that.
> I do not find a story

Actually, your not finding it funny proves that you
have a lousy sense
of humor. It's called "irony" and it's one
of those things that isn't
funny if you explain it to someone. I hear that long
abuse of drugs can
rob people of the ability to detect and appreciate irony,
but I guess
some people are simply born without the ability.
> I use a book to know God better
Perhaps you should try listening to your conscience
and using your
brain. Can you believe that God wants you to ignore
the fact that the
Bible was written a long time ago and inevitably contains
so many errors
that it can only serve as the vaguest of guideposts
to the true nature
of God?? Would God want you to deliberately stupefy
yourself? How
could doing that possibly honor God in any way?
But from your post I gather that you do not care
> about the Bible or what is in it.
I have studied the Bible very, very thoroughly, as I
have studied the
books of many other religions. I actually wanted to
know, is there a
God? If so, what is God like? And so I researched
ALL the sources of
information I could find on the topic, not just one
book, and I listened
to the anecdotal evidence, and I looked within myself,
and I came to
certain conclusions that I'd be happy to discuss with
you if you care to
hear about them.
So yes, I consider the Bible to be a very important
ancient book with a
lot of wise words in it, mixed in with a lot of political
debate,
geneology, farming instructions, poetry, hygiene advice,
and the history
of a particular desert tribe. I don't believe the story
some people say
that God made the King James Bible himself through directly
accessing
the minds of the translators, asnd the reason I don't
believe that is
because there are many blatant translation errors, and
God would not
have screwed up like that.
It's a very old, very useful book, but it's just a book
made by men, and
I think in your current state of mind it's not doing
you any good at
all. You're reading all the wrong parts, it seems!
Did you even get to
the part about not judging others? Or about not proclaiming
your
righteousness before men? Or about how "by their
fruit you will know
them"? Do you even know how many people have turned
away from suicide
and live happier lives because the Church of the SubGenius
gave them a
community where they could express themselves and enjoy
a good,
honest-to-God BELLY LAUGH once in a while? Well do
you?

I have not been praying publicly and I seek no acclaim
for any righteousness
that I have or might have. I say I am a Christian in
accordance with
christs teachings He said he who confesses me before
men I will confess
before my father in heaven. He who denies me before
men I will deny before
my father which is in heaven. Also I like paul am not
ashaimed of the
gospel of Christ for it is the power of God unto salvation
unto all who
believe first to the Jew then to the Greek. Also I
am following Jesus
command to go out into the world and preach the Gospel.
The bible spealks
against people making long prayers in the streets thinking
they will be
heard for their much talking. I am not praying here
you do not here me
praying I am not talking to God I am talking to you
and the others who read
this post it is not a prayer. I do not expect your
praise or anywone elses
praise for what I am doing here except Gods praise

These things are all good unless that liberty causes
you to sin which is an
act that is abhorrent to God. I have not and do not
Judge anyone here for
thier sins. I do say that you need to repent of your
sins and obey God, The
bible says the same thing, God wants it.
So first of all
> you insult God by implying that God is too mean

I only believe that God hates the sins, I know God cannot tolerate sin.
Then you further blaspheme by threatening the people
> on this newsgroup with an eternity in Hell.
I do not recall mentioning that anyone here faces an
eternity in Hell but it
is true that people do not enter the kingdom of heaven
who do not obey Gods
commands and reject Jesus Christ. If you fit in this
group you are in
danger of an eternity in Hell. I am not threatening
you I am telling you of
an existing threat. Do you hate me for telling you
the truth?
God alone is fit to judge

I noever said you ought to be in Hell I have not Judged
you I agree that God
will be the Judge along with the words Christ spoke.
The words Christ spoke
are in the bible and are in accordance with what I have
spoken in this post.
These words will judge you not me. I don't presume
to be in a position to
judge you. I do feel in a position to warn you of the
danger to come as I
have been commanded by God. This is not a judgment
that I have made against
you or anyone else in this group.

Well I do not see Irony in this story. I think irony
would be more apparent
if say the man was an ostrich hunter or if he was wearing
ostrich skinn
boots or something like that. I happen to have an excellent
sense of humor
as far as I am concerned but still I find that unfortunate
situation sad.
It is strange that it was such a silly animal that killed
the man but hardly
ironic. But to give you the benifit of the doubt I

Your conscience is an insufficient tool in matters of
salvation and
obedience to God which is why we have teh bible as a
guide to help us know
how to serve God. I find that reading the bible is
enlightening not
stupefying. God speaks highly of scriptures and commends
those who study
them and commands us to study them. I honor God by
obeying his commandments
like this one.

I believe that God is capable of preserving his message

do you?
No I do not know this, but tell me did you know that
The third reich turned
the economy of Germany around and made a lot of people
rich, who otherwise
would have lived in poverty perhaps even poverty that
could have turned some
to suicide such as in our great depression where people
jumped out of
buildings. You know that in pre world war two Germany
you couldn't buy a
loaf of bread with a wheel barrow full of the country'
s currency. Or how
about how Hitler brought the spirit of Nationalism back
to Germany he really
brought the people together. What do you say is this
Lots of good fruit?
Perhaps we should find another Nazi Party to bring us
out of the slump we
are in? I am sure we could find a Neo Nazi party willing
to take the throne
of America, perhaps even one who has turned many outcast
youth considering
suicide away form their deathwish by offering them a
place where they could
be accepted. Hey maby all we need is a good faschist
dictator to turn our
country around. I am sure when people see all the good
fruits of nazism
they will accept a dictator into power.
BTW do you know how many kids sank into deep depression
because they quit
their jobs for Bob and got their hopes up for X-day
when they would leave
this tiresom world to get on the planet x bound pleasure
ships, only to find
themselves severly disapointed come July 5 1998. And
how about the ones who
go through this depression every July 5th when once
again the x ships do not
show up. "But Dave dont you see it this church
of the subgenious thing is
too real sounding to be a joke they just say it is a
joke because all of the
pinks cant handle the truth real subgenious's know it
is not a joke, they
can read between the lines where bob speaks to them,
it is all a part of the
alien technology that is available to true subgeniouses
you probably just
don't understand because you are a part of some conspiracy
of normals or
worse yet a pink.
Ha ha that is real funny an full of irony isn't it.
My one question is do you see the irony in this or have
you like me spent to
many years abusing drugs?

Perhaps you were confusing this other person with me,
or maybe not.
If this was in reference to my posting "Question
without attempts at
humor" I was trying to point out what we have seen
before that and sin
since that. More crap about serpentine visions of hell,
scat crap,
and other junk that does not need to be in the mind
of a person. Now,
even though the good book says to not consort with gluttons
or be a
glutton, I can appreciate slacking off to a degree.
To not be overly
enthusiastic about wiping down a counter you've avoided
for thirty
minutes. I can also appreciate being "Monk"ish
as well as monks.
Monks are a great group of people .. they are devoted
to one being and
one being only. I being "Monk"ish have found
photos on the wall that
were crooked and straightened them .. all of them in
a shop. My point
is, there is a continental divide between humor and
what I see on here
passed off as humor. If I am a stuffed shirt, then
at least I appear
to be clean around the collar.

I have no idea either, I was just getting all cought
up in the excitement of
the rant. I can only speak for myself personally,
I waited with a kind of
strange anticipation for the first X-day kind of half
not believing and half
wondering if their might really be ships comming. The
big day came and
went. I didn't get picked up by any ships but I hadn't
sent in my $30
either. I really wondered if perhaps the ships did
come and nobody noticed
so I went to the Subgenious website which said something
consoling about
maby it would be some othertime or something and possible
misinterpretation.
I Thought to myself HA! I knew those ships wouldn't
come and wondered how
many subgenious kids were disapointed then. But at
the same time I had to
wonder about the posibility that those ships would come
later.
I eventually came up with my own theory as to what happened
to the Xist
ships. I decided that while approaching our planet
the Xist ships were
intercepted by a group of space pirates who lured them
to thier hideout in
the astroide belt with promises of space hookers. When
the x ist ships
finally got to the hide out they were shocked to find
out that there were no
space hookers and were instead forced to watch the very
long versoion of
Galactic history on video which is so long that they
are still watching it.
It is not an interesting video but it has a hypnotic
effect on the viewers
which caused the x- ists to fall into a trance and forget
all about comming
to Earth to pick up the subgenious faithfull. Meanwhile
the space pirates
plan their eventual invasion and enslavement of the
human race.
Of cource that is all fiction and there is no such thing
as space aliens.
Get over it.

"Bob," in inadvertently helping the rest of
us to dissect belief in
general, and our own brains, sometimes is SO obviously
telling KOOKS
what they MOST WANT TO BELIEVE that only kooks COULD
believe it.
The Promise of X-Day, however, is not one of those.
No way. Even though
you'd THINK it would be the most GLARINGLY OBVIOUS one,
it's ironically
the ONE STATEMENT he's MOST serious about.
That's what I read on the Internet, anyway.

I just figured those lies were so delicious they had
to have some kind of
substance behind them. Perhaps the faithfull subgenious
were really taken
up in the ships and all that is left on this planet
are x ist aliens
mascarading as subgenious kids still waiting for the
ships to come. How
foolish of me not to notice. They seem so real you
would hardly guess that
they are aliens. I don't believe it but knowing
how humans are prone to
believing lies there has to be some kook out there who
will believe it. All
a lie has to do to be believed on some level is appeal
to someones hopes or
fears.

Or, just to a kook's kookdom.
Like the regular on this group who believes that the
cast of All My
Children are passing him secret numerological messages
through the
show. It can be said that this may appeal in some way
to his hopes or
fears, but I think it is more to the point to just say
he is a loon
and leave it at that.
I think that covers all the bases that really need to be covered.
