So that's what it stands for. And silly me, thinking that there were just lots of opportunities for kids to learn Visual Basic.

Can't use that - they stuck "recruiting" on homosexuals.

Now that would be a true learning experience for the kids!

I heard one on the radio the other day. It was an advertisement for the pizza parlor I work at, in the commercial this kid is comparing the laws of thermodynamics to a hot Bullwinkle's pizza. Most people would not understand that, in this fundee redneck town, but I had to shake my head and played "Fuck the Creationists" by MC Hawkings on my Mp3 player.

Just be thankful they don't use the term "assimilating". Then again; that vacant stare, unoriginal jargon, unable to think for themselves....

34 of 666: "Have you beeen absorbed into the Christ-borg collective yet?"

Me: "what?!?"

My friend and I are hoping someone will start up a "Campus Crusade for Christ" this next school year, just so we have an excuse to start up a "Campus Crusade for Cthullu".

I agree, we should have respect to Satanism (yet Satanism seems silly to me, it seems like an antichristian moment that in facts involves christian aspects) Get real there is no such thing as black magic, YET I like this about satanism, "So you all like sexual freedome?"
Most of my favorite porn sites are opperated by Satanists, and, with respect, I would say you guys and b!tches, do an excellent job of promoting porn to the world!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! My dollars flow toward your goals!!!! :notworthy :notworthy :notworthy :notworthy

A line I've heard used (as a joke, to be fair):

"Resistance is futile, you will be converted."


I didn't think Cthulu had anything to do with Satanism?

Of course it is creepy because it means the children they didn't save will roast in hell for eternity.

Unhappy ^^^

I say it's creepy because it sounds like a body count of some sort.
