LOL ! I haven't seen that one before. Hey, where did everyone go after you posted that link?

Pantera

I think they all went to <a href="http://ii-f.ws/cgi-bin/ultimatebb.cgi?ubb=get_topic&f=17&t=000661" target="_blank">this thread</a> in M&PC. I think I see a couple of Nazi comparisons there as well.

Maybe because when the shoe fits... Do you actully get the concept of what it means when these sort of people get any real power? Trying to dismiss it with nonsense won't help. People who chose to forget history may find it biting them in the ass.

The Nazis are a prime example of what form evil can take when people like you chose to ignore it. I use them as an example because they more than fit what is happening, so you better cover your ass while you have your head stuck under your rock. You may think that it is a laughing matter, but they don't.

Oh, so Shakespeare is now a catholic patriot who wrote anti-church of England plays during the reign of Q. Elizabeth 1. Do you mean that if you read the plays backwards, you might hear,"Follow the Pope in Rome", or,"Return to Rome, you protestant heretics". I got it, take the first letters of MACBETH and you get Make All Catholics Be Their Home. What a conspiracy. Too. bad though, it failed. The Brits just didn't get the anti-prod message. Too bad for the popacy.

IMO, that "holy fire" provides further evidence that there is no god. If there was, the wind would have picked up and it would have spread to the church.

Hi sullster, how are doing in 2002?

Here's my favorite line from Macbeth "we've scorched the snake, not killed it. She'll close and be herself, whilst our poor malice remains in danger of her former tooth."

The above is how MacBeth and Lady MacBeth (who hath no name 'but' Lady Macbeth for this very reason) are agonizing over their nightly dreams.

And some more:

"O, full of scorpions is my mind, dear wife!" (notice "scorpions"!).
==================================================

The beauty of this is that if it did not kill him then it will never kill his writings after and so Catholics will rejoice in this for centuries to come.

Amos, what in tarnations are you talking about with these Macbeth quotes? If these are catholic protests from Shakespeare against Prod England, methinks the Bard didn't have a clue how to really get to the masses. The people listening to the play only noticed the tragedy aspects concerning greed, murder and power-lust. What dummies, eh Amos?

Thing is here, that these idiot fundies in New Mexico didn't burn Shakespeare because they think he is catholic. Can you for a second even dare think that they would know such a thing? These people are white-trash who could no more read a Shakespeare play than write one. Most of these cretins couldn't say anything intelligent about Shakespeare.

Come on Amos, must everything be a plug for the future world domination of catholicism? Also, your religion had a list of "comdemned books" and I bet it still does. Pot calling the kettle black, eh?

OK Amos- I admit it. This post is completely opaque. Usually I can see at least a glimmering of sense in your posts, but not this one. Care to expound further on how the mention of scorpions, and the fact that Lady MacBeth has no first name spoken in the play, has even the most tenuous connection to Catholicism?
