2. that's nice.
they do that in the philipines too -- only with barbed wire and real nails, etc.

i love seeing my faith reduced to an s&m fetish.

well lots of people did it in the middle ages too -- of course they lived short, brutal lives and actually had something in common with christ's suffering -- mr gibson can only reduce it to a sexual extravaganza -- as do all those in our contemporary era who focus only christ's blood.

3. Nothing like a good old fashioned passion play...
to stir up anti-jewish hatred.

5. 'The Passion' was just a grisly snuff flick, Reich Wingers whip'n the shit
out of a Liberal...

That is all this is about.. feeding the negativity and keeping the bad shit rolling.

"A negative thought continues and increases exponentially until replaced by a positive thought, however the positive thought must be cultivated"...H H the Dalai Lama

this is why the Tibetan teachings were secret for so long. They are a road map to enlightenment, however in the hands of the Dark Side they are Directions on how people are led into the bondage of ignorance.. It is a two edged sword. A good person seeking liberation from desire, ignorance and anger will use the teaching to improve themselves. The Dark Side will see the source of weakness and use it for personal grasping.

that said... we are now in a serious Spiritual War, with DC as Mordor. if the Neocons win, it could be 50 generations before the pendulum swings back. we need to get serious, fighting darkness is only about 1/4 of what needs to be done. We need to train our minds and our emotions.. we actually need to become Jedi of a sort.

control of our minds and emotions will be our only shield to protect future generations from losing the seed of democracy.. for our generation was lax and has lost it already.

the first thing they do is to try to piss you off to gain control of your mind.. then they demand for you to see it their way and have a tantrum if that doesn't work, right now all we can do is say, "Homey don't play that", see you at the polls. then they give you that 'W' smirk... Oh Yea.. that will do you a lot of good. so if we want to keep our freedom we must march in even small groups.. till others figure it out.

the second thing we need to do is eliminate the Campaign Contributions which are "BRIBES" from the CEO's to Elected Politicians, made with Money stolen from the share holders.

if we cant stop the conflict of interest.. you better just get an armband and join them, learn to goose step and to speak Freepereze.

12. Thats right,Thanks.
Ever see the south park episode about them? It was funny as hell but in the end it left the message that we should respect each other's religions as long as they dont impose them on others.At least thats what I remember the message being.
