Religious Nuts

[Omaha 680]

I got nothing current, but I knew a few kids in middle school that were not allowed to watch the cartoon 'He-Man'. As far as I know, it wasn't because of sorcery. It was because the tag-line 'Masters of the Universe' was offensive to God, the true master of the universe.

It was probably the homoeroticism

Huh. I don't see it.

This is for personal experiences with religious nuts, right? Okay. So there are these two people -- one's a lawyer and the other's a heart doctor -- who are seriously obsessed with Mormonism. They are total nuts! They hate the LDS Church, but they can't keep away from it either. It's like they're addicted or have no impulse control or something! Every time my friends and I are having a nice conversation about faith, how the Book of Mormon helps us feel closer to God, or the power of forgiveness, repentance, and grace, it's like BOOM! These two pop in! "HEY!!!" they say (so annoying), and then they immediately start to trot out the oldest most boring arguments you've ever heard in your life. Every time. "EVOLUTION IS REAL AND YOU GUYS ARE IDIOTS!!! HA HA HA!," and then they throw spit wads or something, and walk away thinking they are so . . . . smart, I guess?? But everyone just looks at them like the crazies and nuts they are!! They're like everyone's crazy uncle. Total wing nuts, but you just let them show up to dinner anyway because what are you going to do??

Levin is a poor man's tooblue. What do we have to do to get the real thing posting back here again? I miss that dude.

I would suggest Miller's Millionaires. Wait, that has probably been done before.

I guarantee you he will hate his parents someday.

I participate in Toastmasters at work and one our club members is a financial advisor who is pretty funny. He recently gave a speech, "How to make sure your children don't have sex until age 35." He talked about his parents converting to a wacky religion when he was about 5 (uh-oh), but then he said the religion was against Halloween so he couldn't participate. Finally at about age 11, his parents relented and let him wear a costume to school with the caveat that his mom chose the costume. What was it? He had to dress in the "Full Armor of God" with a shield, sword, breastplate, etc.
