(seriously, that is a rough estimate of the number), OURS is the most special of all, and our one species is the most special out of any that have ever lived anywhere, and those of us who are humans in the last 2,000 years are the main focus of the Omniscient Omnipotent One!

That picture starting with the mid-east and moving up to the entire universe with Jesus saying "Don't Masturbate." Wish I had it to show

From Krafft-Ebing's Psychopathia Sexualis:

Zamlaco ("L'Encephale," 1882, Tr. 1, 2) tells the disgusting story of two sisters affected with premature and perverse sexual desire. The elder. "R.," masturbated at the age of 7, practiced lewdaess with boys, stole wherever she could, seduced her 4-year-old sister into masturbation, and at the age of ten was given up to the practice of the most revolting vices.

Even ferrum candens ad clitoridom had no effect in overcoming the practice, and she masturbated with the cassock of a priest while he was exhorting her to reformation.


(Near as I can tell, being unprivileged in both Latin and medicine, "ferrum candens ad clitoridom" meant cauterizing the clitoris.)

Well, whatever we think of the young lady's morality, I think we have to admire her gumption and stick-to-it-iveness.

... selling his religion, with his two small children in tow. I opened the door, the children thrust a couple of flyers into my hands.

The minister then introduces himself. He's a pleasant enough fellow, but after he finishes telling me who he is and what he does for a living he asks me, "Have you thought about where you're going to spend eternity."

Now, I'd say I'm a fairly impassioned antitheist. While I am told this makes me "just as bad" as the guy knocking on my door, threatening me with hellfire while effectively using his children as human shields against the salvo of sciency shit I normally dispense upon such malefactors, it occurs to me that I have never gone door to door to talk to people about atheism, or handed out invitations to atheist organizations or free atheist tracts, or, least of all, spoke authoritatively about where one may or may not end up after death as a means to sell my personal philosophy to others.

But I'm the arrogant one.

by the self-proclaimed Arbiters of All Things. Funny how they never attack all those who are certain god exists - plenty of whom are right here on DU.

...is to never say anything critical of religion, I could see how my behavior would be problematic. I guess I am kind of jerk, now that I think about it. Sometimes, I wish I was more mediocre. Then I could just go with the flow and never open my mouth at all.
