My brain is being corrupted!

Between naamah_darling and ms_daisy_cutter, I'm swearing more, and more floridly, than ever before.

For example: in a recent conversation, I referred to someone as "that walking polyp shat from the colon of a leprotic demon".

In fairness, I was talking about Tim LaHaye, right-wing godbag preacher and author of the "Left Behind" series of toilet paper.

But still...

I hate those books too, and I've never read them. But I have many years put into Barnes & Noble, and though I agree it would be censorship, I wish we didn't carry those evil books. But back in my own Southern Baptist Bible-thumping days, I remember seeing a movie like that, where the "saved" kids and church members go to Heaven at the rapture (lawn mowers were left running, etc.) but the "non-believers" were left wondering what the heck just happened, tried to repent, and were too late. It's a bunch of hooey, and I really HATE that the Christian church tries to convert members with ideas of fear. That is not what Jesus preached, and somebody ought to wake up and smell the coffee and realize just how NON-Biblically-correct their religion has become today. It's pathetic, really.

I think my whole point was that when I was a Bible thumper, that was back in the late 80's. So using media in various forms to scare the pants off of church members is nothing new.

That said, there's an interesting movie called "The Wave" which is based on a real life incident in the 60's (or was it the 70's?). Anyway, this teacher in California runs an experiment with his history students that parallels the brainwashing of the Nazis during pre-WWII Germany (and during the war, too). Similar conclusions can be drawn about religion, our own military, etc. Very thought-provoking movie.

i agree...as bizaroo as the storylines are, there are a lot of kids' sci-fi type books with equally messed up plots and that part does not bother me at all, i think kids should read whatever they want. i'm more disturbed that adults would try to make a book scary to kids in order to get them to believe in all these religous ideas that they are too young to really understand.
