Mr roT said...: She's really not pretty enough to have stupid views like that. Emmanuelle Beart of course is absolutely correct when she says the same things.; 3/01/2008 10:01 PM
Pepe le Pew said...: Are these views considerably stupider than those of virgin birth and sbj walking on water?; 3/01/2008 10:05 PM
Tecumseh said...: Yes, Pepe, this is the epitome of crass, malicious stupidity. Christianity is something altogether different, and it has withstood the test of time, and the sneers of the French for the past 200-250 years, thank you, no problemo.; 3/01/2008 10:12 PM
Mr roT said...: wrong longer is not really better, is it?; 3/01/2008 10:14 PM
Tecumseh said...: JJ, you morphing into Pepe? Must be something in the water down there by the Gulf...; 3/01/2008 10:20 PM
Pepe le Pew said...: Maybe if Emmanuelle Beart lead a new inquisition long enough, her views would hold the test of time too.; 3/01/2008 10:46 PM
My Frontier Thesis said...: Stand back, folks, and let Marion Cotillard do her work.; 3/01/2008 11:01 PM
Mr roT said...: Emmanuelle can inquire what she wishes of me...

You like contillard, mft?

AI, when have I been pro-religion?; 3/01/2008 11:12 PM
Pepe le Pew said...: I don't understand the fuss. Some bimbo thinks 9/11 never happened and Armstrong was boozing it up in a pub with his buddies on that day? Well, Mitt Romney thinks the garden of eden is in missouri and none of you people lost their bladder over it.; 3/01/2008 11:23 PM
Pepe le Pew said...: Emanuelle has had so much surgery, she now looks like a blow-up doll.; 3/01/2008 11:24 PM
Mr roT said...: Sad to hear about Beart's surgeries. I hope she's feeling better. About Romney, did he say that silly stuff?; 3/02/2008 12:14 AM
My Frontier Thesis said...: JJ said: You like contillard, mft?

JJ, sarcasm sometimes doesn't come through very well in my prose (if we could even call my prose, "prose").

Pepe said: Mitt Romney thinks the garden of eden is in missouri and none of you people lost their bladder over it.

Pepe, everyone knows the garden of eden is in Utah. You're slipping. And I was pissing all over Romney when he still thought he had a Mormon prayer.; 3/02/2008 1:58 AM
Mr roT said...: Sorry, mft. I figured you thought she was a babe. I kinda do...; 3/02/2008 2:05 AM
Pepe le Pew said...: It's misssouri, not utah. This from wiki's garden of eden:

Latter Day Saints' geography
For members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (also known as the Mormons or Latter Day Saints), the Garden of Eden is believed to have been located in present-day Jackson County, Missouri according to Joseph Smith, Jr.[9] Independence, Missouri was revealed to be the "center place" of Zion and the original dwelling place of Adam and Eve in the Garden which God planted "eastward in Eden".[10][11] According to Joseph Smith, Adam and Eve traveled 85 miles north to the valley of Adam-ondi-Ahman after they had transgressed and were driven from the Garden.[12] (Adam-ondi-Ahman is sometimes mistakenly associated with the location of the garden itself). As for its location in the western hemisphere, some Latter-day Saints have presumed the continents were not yet separate before the Great Flood[13] and that this approach would be consistent with the configuration of the super-continent Pangaea.[14] While geologists consider that the continents had separated by the Cretaceous period, some Latter-day Saints and other Christians have pointed to the account in Genesis which states that the earth was "divided" in the days of Peleg.[15]
In the Pearl of Great Price, it is claimed that there were lands and rivers that were given names later attached to other lands and rivers as in the Book of Genesis.[16] The geographic descriptions of Eden in the Bible would therefore refer to entirely different lands and rivers than those carrying the same names today, whose names were transposed after the biblical flood to local lands and rivers in the Near East. By one account Joseph Smith taught that Noah built the ark near modern-day South Carolina[17][18]. Thus, it is argued, the offspring of Noah populated the eastern hemisphere.[19]; 3/02/2008 9:03 AM
Tecumseh said...: Maybe the Frenchy bimbo thinks this was all a ploy to get scrap metal to build a ship? Great moments in Socialist-realist public education.; 3/02/2008 9:53 AM
Tecumseh said...: And Katrina was a ploy to have the ship-building delayed, so that Karl Rove could hatch one of his patented nefarious plots? Man, mormonism is far more internally coherent than the fever swamps of modern-day pinko "reality-based" birkenstockian "thought".; 3/02/2008 9:58 AM
My Frontier Thesis said...: Whoa, my mistake. I was thinking of their mid-19th century exodus to Utah Territory, and then nearly coming to battle with the U.S. Government. But it looks like Noah built the ark in S. Carolina. They have religious claims all over the U.S.!; 3/02/2008 10:57 AM
Arelcao Akleos said...: Pepe, wasn't Joe's question asking if Romney had ever said such a thing? That Joey had a thing for his last resting place translates exactly how to Mitt so having it?
To underscore the point, Ted Kennedy purports to be a good Catholic. Are you suggesting then that he has been going around bleating about how all that vino he quaffs is really the blood of Christ?; 3/02/2008 12:16 PM
Tecumseh said...: Vino? Methinks it's Bourbon -- or perhaps tzuica from plastic bottles?; 3/02/2008 1:41 PM
Pepe le Pew said...: aa - not sure kennedy is as devout a catholic as mitt is a mormon but you are right: i haven't heard mitt specifically espouse that view and just because someone shaves their head, wears a white robe and sells pencils in airports while beating on their tambourine doesn't necessarily make them vegetarians i suppose.; 3/02/2008 1:58 PM
Pepe le Pew said...: Mormonism is far more internally coherent than the fever swamps of modern-day pinko "reality-based" birkenstockian "thought".
Yes, coherence is a common quality among cults.; 3/02/2008 8:32 PM
Arelcao Akleos said...: Hence the coherence of the Daily Kos; 3/02/2008 11:40 PM
Arelcao Akleos said...: Pepe said: " someone shaves their head, wears a white robe and sells pencils in airports while beating on their tambourine"

Ah, now that is a memory long suppressed. I don't think I've seen one of those since the earliesh 80s....; 3/02/2008 11:42 PM
Pepe le Pew said...: JJ remembers them well - 'member hickory dickory duck ol'boy?; 3/03/2008 10:04 PM
