In a spate of fiendish cleverness, the fundamentalists have realized that their kids wanna shoot things up on TV screens too, so now there's Left Behind: Eternal Forces. So you too can demolish cities and kill people you don't like, but this time it's in the name of God!
...because as we all know, boys and girls, Jesus said we must judge the wicked and slay the sinners, for revenge is ours!

Is your first melee weapon a knotted rope? Will it based on the Grand Theft Auto engine? I hear that's a great one.
from "Jesus Is Not A Republican" - look, I'm just quoting, not trying to prove/disprove/discuss the social, political, or metaphysical veracity of the title -
"Jesus offered a generous vision of life that has helped many people to find their own potential for lovea nd connection. Many conservative Christians are drawn to an apocalytic vision that mirrors their alienation from life. They dream of a God who will lift them up, away from their suffering - and inflict hellish pain on the rest of us. They get to watch. Jesus did not approve this message."
and, in the wtf? category, just for entertainment:
"Hollywood is controlled by secular Jews who hate Christianity in general and Catholicism in particular. It's not a secret, OK? Hollywood likes anal sex. They like to see the public square without nativity scenes."
William Donahue of the Catholic League on MSNBC
It's time for that Sesame Street favorite, "One of these sentences is not like the others!"

You know, I rarely agree w/ you on much, but I gotta say that folks who gloat over the prospect of others' damnation really creep me out.
Odd, considering both sentences are basically true... When push comes to shove, we'll all be fighting over who gets to kill Phelps and his "God hates fags/Thank God for IEDs" minions with a collection of giant, brightly-colored butt plugs. Creepy doesn't begin: demon-worshippers would be closer. If you're not into personifications, then, people who worship and/or are addicted to malignity.
Actually, I don't know if I've mentioned this to you Russ, but righteousness releases endorphins -- they're literally drug-addicts using God for their fix. Creepy, huh?
I can see it. I went through a serious "righteous anger" bout on my own blog...
heck, James, I can think of *lots* of things we agree on, and they don't even all have to do with Maddy's ass.

Russ: you, righteous anger? Naw, say it ain't so! :)
Amanda: perhaps, but more of our conversations seem to be disagreement than the other way around. Friendly-like, of course, no firearms or bloody axes involved....
of course! what fun would it be to talk about stuff we already *agree* about?
I dunno, I can do some serious signifying about pancakes with chopped apples and cinamon cooked with real maple syrup. No discourse required.
Darnit, Blair, now I have to make that! Don't do this to me at7:48 in the morning..!
Okay, no more pancakes. What about panfried bratwurst cooked while having a glass of dark beer and one shot of whisky liberally splashed over them so that alcohol carmelizes over them, with sweet kraut cooking next to it pick up the rich smokiness. Take it off the pan and serve on a warm, fresh slice of hot Russian pumpernickel, and a dab of starkly sharp mustard.
