Ramblings of Silver Blue

I passed by a church last night, and on their sign was supposed to read: “Man looks at your outside; God looks in your heart.” The two most important letters in the Christian Vocabulary, however, must be the “H” and the “T”, because someone had removed them, making the sign read: “Man looks at your [...]

Sorry, God. I tried. I really did. I gave it my best shot at three different churches over the past six years. But all of them are more concerned about ego and man than praising You. Today was the icing on the cake at the church I used to be affiliated with. The Interim Pastor [...]

Look what’s FINALLY coming to DVD on September 26!

There seems to be a large uproar over the Episcopalian denomination electing a female as a leader, and for them rejecting a temporary ban on gay bishops. Now, I’m not trying to stir up any mess here, but I keep hearing one phrase over and over. Take this post: { COLUMBUS, OHIO (6/20/06)-The House of [...]

…now, Home-Churching? Over at Pam’s House Blend For those who are ostracized from mainstream religion due to sexual orientation, colour, gender, social status, it may not be such a bad thing. For those who are whack jobs who are starting the “First Church of ME”, I pity those who would follow you.

Are we back in the time of the crusades? Of the Inquisition? What’s up with religion using violence to “spread the will of {insert name of Deity here}”? Or to promote “making the west bleed for years”? If that’s the kind of cruelty that awaits in the great beyond from the POSITIVE Deity, I dare [...]

Thanks to Susie, whose brother has been busy on those outskirt websites: When Noah built his ark, there were over 300 million people living on the earth. Only Noah and his family, only 8 people, were convinced that the world was going to experience a tremendous judgment from God. Over 300 million people scornfully rejected [...]

From today’s Virginian-Pilot God lovers who hate casualties, gays, miners The Virginian-Pilot © February 9, 2006 Last updated: 8:27 PM God, apparently, is angry. He’s in one of his smiting moods. And he hates gays. So he’s decided to kill U.S. soldiers as punishment for fighting for a nation that harbors homosexuals. So sayeth the [...]

I received news last night that Lunatic, the person who ram me out of a church with their overbearing, beastly mannerisms from the pulpit has given their notice and will be moving to Texas BEFORE EASTER. This is major news, not because I plan on going back to that particular church, but becuase God has [...]

This put a smile in my face.

Hmm, I just seem to be in a quizzical mood tonight. Can being in love ever be a sin? I’m not talking about the act of fornication. I’m talking about emotioncal caring. Jesus told us (as is written in the Bible) that “Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself”. So, can loving someone be a [...]

Intelligent debate welcome; flames and attacks will be deleted and may result in your being banned from the blog. My take on the Book of Revelation in the Bible. Sorry, but I don’t buy it. Supposedly it wasn’t written until AD 92 (or thereabouts). It also claims to “end” the Bible, forbidding anyone to add [...]

Neil repsonded to the Thursday Ten™ with the following question: Does Christian ethics require you to love Pat Robertson, or how does that work? Because I answer questions posted, here’s the answer, in my opinion. According to Mark 12:28-34 (NSRV Bible) 28 One of the scribes came near and heard them disputing with one another, [...]

Over at Punchbuggy’s, he posted this previous Sunday and said “ According to the Christian calendar, today’s Epiphany Sunday, the day the Wise Men from the East found Jesus in the manger.” Now, I’ve never been to seminary (while Punchbuggy has), so you’ll have to forgive me in taking liberties here, but I’ve been taught [...]

(CNN) — Television evangelist Pat Robertson suggested Thursday that Israeli Prime Minister Ariel Sharon’s stroke was divine retribution for the Israeli withdrawal from Gaza, which Robertson opposed. Excuse me, Pat, but the last time I looked (and it’s every time you open your foul and lecherous mouth), you don’t have a monopoly on God. Whether [...]

…or how I came to hate organized religion yet still love God. I’ve mentioned before how I despise those people who think they can “own” God, that they have a hot line to the Power that be, etc. As you can tell, from reading the previous blog entries, I finally had my fill of bull [...]

I feel very liberated. I’ve just finished typing up three letters of resignation from Boards I was on. Very simplistic. It’s over, good luck. One day, people are going to open their eyes and realize what man hath wrought. I’m glad it’s not going to be me to have to answer to the higher power [...]

They say you should keep up with what the world is doing around you. The Catholic church believes Satan is more evident than ever, and now you can take a course (even as a lay person!) on ridding someone of their Possession. A course in exorcism, supported by the Vatican, began on Thursday at one [...]

WARNING: Any flame comments will be deleted, your IP will be banned. Intelligent discussion is permitted, but no personal attacks will be tolerated, nor any “you just don’t understand” bullcrap. Also, don’t waste your time or mine attempting to convert me to the belief that God quit talking to man after the Bible was written, [...]

Dear New Orleans, I’m sorry, but you were wicked and I had to wipe you out. I didn’t want to get all “Old Testament” on your ass, but that tit-flashing lesbian Wiccan midget on the last “Girls Gone Wild” video was the last straw. Wrathfully yours, Lord God Jehovah P.S. Mississippi and Alabama, let this [...]

Looks like the Right Reverend may end up having written an elephant check his canary ass can’t cash. Of course, you have President Moonbat, the Rev. Jesse Jackson promoting his own agenda, however…CBS reports: President Hugo Chavez said Sunday that his government may ask the United States to extradite U.S. religious broadcaster Pat Robertson to [...]

…there are times when it needs to be controlled. < Pat Robertson channeling ON > Would someone please just assassinate Fred Phelps? < channeling off > Anti-gay church protests at GI funerals By BETH RUCKER Associated Press Writer SMYRNA, Tenn. (AP) — Members of a church say God is punishing American soldiers for defending a [...]

[San Francisco Mayor Gavin] Newsom depicted the opposition from business interests who do not believe a municipality should offer its residence Internet access in the most drastic of terms, saying, “The fight over gay marriage was nothing compared to this.” Ephraim Schwartz, Tech Watch, Aug. 16, 2005 Remember: Thou Shalt Not Broadband.

Seems the AP reported that Marion “Pat” Robertson may also be on “shake”y grounds: It’s the shake that’s causing quite a stir. An evangelical media watchdog group claims Pat Robertson is abusing his nonprofit status to market an “age-defying” diet drink. For years, Robertson has been touting the shake on his Christian Broadcasting Network and [...]
