Boston Moron Meetup UPDATE
— LauraW

UPDATE [DiT]: we're at the place. Walk in, head right for the back room. Take your chances with the rest of us.

Still happening this weekend, even though we all hate each others asses now. It's going to feel like Thanksgiving at your in-laws, but fortified with 1/3 more cranky mutants.

This Saturday afternoon, 11/13. Information is up at the CT Meetup site. Bring defensive gear.

I'm going to wear an extra layer of protection inside my MoronHelmet™ and wipe down the hunchback with cooking oil to frustrate any attempts at capture.

Yes, the flame war is continuing, or at least it was on the ONT.

Any Morons/Moronettes in NC?

11 Is J. Geils gonna be there?  Who else is from Boston? Bette Davis? She's dead, I'm not going.

Posted by: Joanie (Oven Gloves) at November 09, 2010 06:21 AM (HaYO4)

12 Hoping to make it - I'll be at the Mass/RI border with my students on a company visit earlier that day, and should be able to make it the rest of the way to Liberal Moonbat Central before I start getting dizzy. 

The Gentile Princess had scheduled a sleepover for her 10th Birthday on that day, but it looks like it might get rescheduled by the Master Scheduler.  If so, I'll be there with my tinfoil hat.

Laura:  I'll bring grease remover just in case.

Wish I could be there.  I've got a cousin's wedding to go to.

I'll try to keep my moron cred strong, though - I'll get liquored up at the reception and yell "but first you will blow me!" when they clink the glasses for the couple to kiss.  If you feel a disturbance in the Force, that's me getting the stink-eye from the wife.

Told husband to tell his leftard mom to get over her self and be grateful she didn't go through the crotch grab.

Any how, hope you guys have a fun evening. 

Oh, and my cousin's wife's memorial was at the local church of Coexistence.  So there's that.

70 Really? I thought they were a "Christian" denomination. How do they figure you can do Christmas without Jesus? That's so crazy! Posted by: Peaches at November 13, 2010 07:29 PM (zxpIo) They DON'T. When I first started looking at churches, I visited a so-called "UU (Universalist/Unitarian) Church." The "Service" consisted of each member getting up and talking about anything they wanted. One did a poetry reading, one babbled on about God-knows what. When I asked what they did for Christmas, they looked at each other funny and told me "Jesus is no big deal." The UU's are basically the ultimate endgame of Christian liberalism: they grew so liberal, they stopped being Christian altogether. Sad, really.

From what I understand, once in a while the minister (usually a lesbo) will cherry pick a passage from the Bible and use it to preach about social justice.

SOME.

If you go to their website, you'll see they welcome everybody. They don't discriminate. And their main mission is to be non-discriminatory. Really, that's their main mission -- diversity.

Paraphrasing from memory: We welcome those who believe (in any set of beliefs) and those who do not believe.

Universalism aren't "Christian", although they empathize some Christian principles, along with the principles of other religions. 

Basically, they want to have every religion's cake and eat it too.  Here's the wiki on Universalism.

80 Well, remember that what you have today are the Universalist/Unitarians: two old hyper-liberal denominations that merged into the "UU's" of today. The Unitarians reject the Trinity and the proposition that Jesus was Divine, and the Universalists traditionally believed in Universal Salvation, for everyone. In the end, these folks theologically devolved into what really amounts to... nothingness.

Posted by: CoolCzech at November 13, 2010 03:39 PM (tJjm/)

81 I really feel for my husband's cousin and his two young sons.  I knew they weren't religious from years ago.  Both of them have Phds and have been on staff at major universities in MA  (I'll leave it to you morons to guess where).  The wife and I began corresponding several years ago when her illness really kicked in.  She was a lovely person, and we've stayed with them in the Boston suburbs.

I feel for the boys the most, who have always been kind of egg-headed introverted, and look at our military son like he's from another planet.  I think being raised in a Universalist "church" has to affect the kids.

Any how, rest in peace, cousin-in-law.  God bless your sweet young sons.

Happily, the Episcopal Church is not yet SO off-the-wall, and her Bishop defrocked her. And I don't mean in the privacy of his bedroom, either...

Posted by: Soothsayer at November 13, 2010 07:43 PM (gYzmF) Yes, well that's why I always say, F*** Liberals. Are they really so dense as not to realize that all religions pretty much teach the same thing? Beyond that, the fact is Christian doctrine has always held that the matter of who is saved or not is ultimately in God's hands, and that NO human ultimately knows anyone's ultimate fate.

Posted by: CoolCzech at November 13, 2010 03:47 PM (tJjm/)

88 I looked at their wiki page and at their own page.  Not a single mention of anything remotely religious.  They seem more like social progressives who call themselves a church.  Which is fine, I'm not here to judge, but not really a church-church, iykwim.  Their services sound more along the lines of an AA meeting or something. 

Posted by: Peaches at November 13, 2010 03:48 PM (zxpIo)

89 My husband's two sisters are a couple of weird examples of children raised main-stream (Pres.) and go their own strange ways.  The oldest became a Quaker years ago, married to a self-hating Jew, divorced him when he was assaulted in Manhattan and suffered mild brain damage, ran off to Nicaragua and brought a communist home to NY, got pregnant, married him just before the kid was born, gave birth, commie husband denounced communism and eventually became a U. S. citizen, divorced him, and finally married and athiest self-hating Jew.  Again.

Second sister has been a long-time member of a gay and lesbian Episcopal church in ATL and met and married her rich, wispy third husband. 

Sigh.  Can I trade places with any of you guys for Christmas?  PLEASE?

They're keeping up contact and are pretty much proving to be good eggs. A little chit-chat now could lead to major organizational advantages in 2012 and beyond. Here's hoping.

I think you're referring to a former Episcopal woman priest that claimed to be a "Muslim Christian." Happily, the Episcopal Church is not yet SO off-the-wall, and her Bishop defrocked her. And I don't mean in the privacy of his bedroom, either...

Posted by: CoolCzech at November 13, 2010 07:43 PM (tJjm/)

I think I remember that story.  I don't think it beats out the Priest/minister in Denmark that said God didn't exist, got in trouble and then the congregation let him return to preaching.

99 Jane, just so you don't feel so bad, I will share that my mother has decided that we will have no more family Christmases, because after all, they will die one of these days and we might as well start getting used to it now.  I shit you not.

I resented that my mother found herself in place in life where she had no one but me to depend upon. I resented that I HAD to spend my holidays with her so that she wouldn't be alone.

This will be my first Christmas without her and I would kill to have that obligation just one more time.

100 They get upset by the Christian belief there is only ONE WAY to Heaven -- through Jesus Christ.

They (and a lot of other leftists) actually say Christians are 'arrogant' for believing this.

101 Uh, no, CoolCzech, I'm not.  And I'm not much of a church-goer, although the idea is appealing in many ways.  I mostly deal direct with the Big Guy and try to do no harm.  I was raised Catholic and got very turned off to the whole thing at a very early age.  Still, I frequently think it would be very nice to be part of a congregation and do all the church-y stuff.

That's okay. At ours, I didn't know where people were sitting or what they looked like. So I just walked around asking strange groups of men if they were Morons.

That went over well.

Posted by: laceyunderalls at November 13, 2010 04:00 PM (7wyE4)

107 Peaches, I'm sorry.  Lord, my mom loved Christmas more than a child.  My dad's been gone over 15 years now, but she lived for the holiday with our son.  Last Christmas was the first one I hadn't had my parents or child with me.  And D'oh left and spent the holiday with his crazy-assed family in ATL.  It was the first Christmas in my life I've ever been alone.  But I just couldn't go be with his folks.  He understood, but he still left me.  Sucked huge.

Anyhow, I'm going to decorate again this year, and D'oh and I will have Thanksgiving sans friends, who're all with their own families this year.  And I'll suck it up on Christmas and go to the evil Life Coach's home, drink heavily, come home, and wait to see my kid again.  Oh yeah, I invited my in-laws for Thanksgiving, but my m-i-l informed me they....."need an invitation a year in advance".  I shit you not.

Me too.  But Pope Benedict XVI also raised some Muslim ire in 2006 when he quoted 14th-century Byzantine Emperor Manuel II. "show me just what Mohammed brought that was new, and there you will find things only evil and inhuman, such as his command to spread by the sword the faith he preached." and "to convince a reasonable soul, one does not need a strong arm, or weapons of any kind, or any other means of threatening a person with death."

Eh, I think the Pope has done that with just about every religious group to one point or another.  Making attempts to heal the divides and all that sappy stuff.

Now personally I have no problem with a religious leader doing that.  Much less offensive to me when its the nation's leader doing it.  Which I find as offensive as a religous leader calling for death of the non-believers

The thing is, if you're a Christian, you kinda have to believe that faith in Christ is the only way to heaven.  I mean, JC did make it pretty explicit. 

In my opinion, a Christian is only "arrogant" about this belief if they use coersion to convert another human being to this belief.  And by coersion, I mean using threats of hell, brimstone, and fire. 

Most of the real Christians I know just try to walk with Christ and be a light to others.  They don't waste time on condemnation or judgement because it's fruitless and pointless.

134 @132: I think the the classic Christian position is that no man should presume to know that which is decided only by God. My own take on Jesus's statement that one can only know the Father thru Him is that he was speaking to Christians... no "Muslim Christians," in other words. That's not the same thing as throwing everyone else automatically into hell... Or calling for a jihad against unbelievers, if you really want to talk about "arrogance."

Indy. I was only eight when they came from Baltimore so they're my team. But everyone else in my family is for the Bengals. A lot of Indy folks adopted them and never switched even after getting the Colts.

true story - I was listening to the radio broadcast of a Huskers game one day as a grad student, and the tight end scores a touchdown - the radio announcer blurted out "man I just love tight ends, don't you?"  - the radio went silent for a good half-minute as, I'm sure, they cut the mike while everyone in the booth was laughing their heads off

238 Okay here is the summary of my FDL conversation today about the estate tax.

We need an estate tax, because if we don't have an estate tax, the rich dudes who die will leave billions and billions of dollars to their heirs, who will then use that money to bribe the government and do bad things.  Also, money = power, so when anyone spends their own money on something, they are exercising unregulated unaccountable power, which is bad, and that needs to be controlled.

it's scary
