Spike ,'Never Leave Me'


Spike's Bitches 26: Damn right I'm impure!  

[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risque (and frisque), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

Technically, it was Don Evans who got trumped. He was in the same Bible study group as W.

This is a mentality that's mind-boggling and frightening to me. I don't understand how anyone could conclude that Christianity is in any kind of danger whatsover in this country

I think it's a feeling that popular culture is out of control combined with publicized court cases about taking down religious symbols in public places that causes that.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

Many television characters are okay with the idea of casual sex and very few ever attend church (onscreen). Therefore, everyone in New York/California is going to hell. And we're taking the rest of the country with us.

What is even happening?

And then got trumped on biblical knowledge by a jewish comedian. I'd say that's pretending quite a bit.
That wasn't him. That was Don Evans.

I suspect as much as well. However, I vehemently disagree with the notion that popular culture is either out of control or inescapable. Hell, I can go days without being exposed to popular culture just by leaving the TV off.

And, while I understand that some people might see forced removal of religious symbols as another sign of the End Times, I don't understand why those same people can't see that those same displays left in place are examples of their religious beliefs getting all up in my business. I don't have to watch TV, but on occasion I do have to go to the courthouse.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

You wouldn't if you just accepted Jesus, Sean.

I'm not familiar with this "TV off" notion you speak of.

Always Anti-fascist!

But you know, Rachel on "Friends" only went to the *toilet* twice in ten seasons too. There are a lot of things about life TV doesn't show.

Shit's all sorts of different now.

Remeber the NY blackout a couple years back? That's "off".

Scary, I know.

It's what you do when you realize that the kids aren't actually watching Barney.

Funny thing. My son wanted to watch our "Magic School Bus" DVD, but my daughter complained loudly. "That's a baby show! I want to watch Barney!" Probably only funny to parents.
