"Mein Kampf" - Adolf Hitler (A horrendous liar who somehow managed to convince people that what he said is fact, further support my previouse statement in another thread "No matter how wrong you are, you are always right")

"The Bible" written by psychotic fundamentalists over a few hundred years... translated and manipulated by Christian caretakers over a thousand years or written by a many people on too many shrooms, you decide.

"Kama Sutra" - written by a couple of guys in a bar as a joke, we now collectively refer to them as God. Many people speculate that it was Norm and that other guy from Cheers.

In case you are still wondering, the smiley next to Michael Moore's book indicates a comical pick... the other two are serious works. Moore's book is just entertainment for us pinko-leftists.

It's a damn shame the Bible is the most reproduced work of fiction on the planet.

What you fail to understand is that language changes over the years.
If I asked for a fag you might be offended, or you might give me a smoke.
Few people use "ye" in conversation any more.

tolerate != respect... I respect religions and beliefs that are benign.

But I can't, in my right mind, respect a belief that tells me to accept it in it's entirety on faith, threatens eternal damnation if I don't, and prohibits rational thought ('do not eat from the tree of knowledge'). I tolerate religion, but I do not respect it.

broadband is the way to go, it allows me to respond to so many people so quickly... my powers as uber-troll are magnified by the speed of my connection.
