Warning: Misanthropic

[kiya]

I seem to have come out as being jackaled. In response to what really comes across to me as "boogety boogety death god so scary". Mmph. Getting a "spoken like a true Discordian" response to a fairly straightforward correction entertains me in a dark way, given that my current position on Discordian mental jujitsu is that I'm increasingly inclined to presume people actually mean what they say and react accordingly. With perhaps disingenuous incomprehension of the bugfuck insane bits as necessary.

Meanwhile, the stupid perpetual morphing weight/body-shape argument has surfaced in a different location, with random flingings of commentary in all kinds of entertaining directions. I have given up on it being useful, and have started talking about corsetry, which is at least much less annoying.

Etcetera.

[ Addendum: Also, words mean things even when they refer to sexuality! And augh, I appear to be agreeing with Steve Pope about something from what I can see in quoted material. ]

sexual impurity = rape, abusive relationships, using sex for social status without regard to joy, sexual words and actions that clash badly, and so on.

drug abuse = badly rolled joints that waste half the contents, powders cut with rat poison or sugar, unclean needles, pills in porous containers left in toxins, beer cans left in the sun until they explode, and so on.

Erm. Yes, I get annoyed at people who say "sexual morals" when they mean "the morality of not having sex," and "drug misuse" when they mean "use of any drugs I dislike." Or "education" when they mean "attendance at a building that bestows certificates," or "religion" when they mean "Christianity and maybe Judaism and grumble grumble I suppose Islam sometimes as well."

For small useless entertainment, go into Waldenbooks occasionally, find the Satanic Bible, and move it to the "religion" bookshelf.

("Anubis is a bit severe" compared to what? Isis? Ra? *snort* Jesus, with his "I come with a sword" and "he who is not with me is against me" and "leave your family and follow me" and "heaven/rich man::needle's eye/camel?" Compared to Kwan Yin, I suppose, but aren't they all a bit severe when compared to Buddhas?)

"heaven/rich man::needle's eye/camel?"

The needle's eye in question is a specific rather narrow gate in Jerusalem rather than a physical needle; the metaphor is for difficulty rathr than inconceivable impossibility, so it's not as extreme as it looks out of context.

I'm aware of the Needle's Eye gate... it's still a case of Jesus stating "to follow my way, you must face privation and hardship and social strife and all sorts of other problems; this is not a roses-and-strawberries path."
