Ted Rall for March 26, 2014
Transcript:
An intact bible found in the charred rubble of a NYC building explosion is an inspiration to architects. (Man: Plastic Jesuses survive tornadoes. Now this!) (Woman: Clearly, God stuff is impervious to wind & fire.) If the victims had been inside a bible, they'd still be alive. (Woman: Would you be safe inside a nativity figure?) (Man: Only a plastic one. And not the donkey.) From now on, all buildings must be in the shape of a bible, cross or other symbol of middle-American Christianity. Coming soon: more applications for bible based technology. (Man 2: That linebacker... he's somehow immune from tackling!)

Actually, the RUNNER would be immune from tackling. The linebacker would be immune from being blocked!

Well as if it was not an insipid enough cartoon, apparently Mr. Rall is unaware that linebackers do not get tackled they tackle others, hence a linebacker would not need to be immune from being tackled nor would he want to be “immune” to tackling others. The line backers would not want “magic God rays” to keep others away.

Ha ha Ted’s friends probably invite him to their Super Bowl party but quietly hope he doesn’t attend!

According to testimony by Susan Ginsberg, a staff member of the National Commission on Terrorist attacks upon the United States, in the January 26, 2004 Public Hearing:
“Four of the hijackers’ passports have survived in whole or in part. Two were recovered from the crash site of United Airlines flight 93 in Pennsylvania. These are the passports of Ziad Jarrah and Saeed al Ghamdi. One belonged to a hijacker on American Airlines flight 11. This is the passport of Satam al Suqami. A passerby picked it up and gave it to a NYPD detective shortly before the World Trade Center towers collapsed. A fourth passport was recovered from luggage that did not make it from a Portland flight to Boston on to the connecting flight which was American Airlines flight 11. This is the passport of Abdul Aziz al Omari.”“In addition to these four, some digital copies of the hijackers passports were recovered in post-9/11 operations. Two of the passports that have survived, those of Satam al Suqami and Abdul Aziz al Omari, were clearly doctored. To avoid getting into classified detail, we will just state that these were manipulated in a fraudulent manner in ways that have been associated with al Qaeda.”Allah offers great protection too!
Man is a credulous animal, and must believe something; in the absence of good grounds for belief, he will be satisfied with bad ones. — Bertrand Russell (1872 – 1970)

Irony is dead, that’s for sure.
And I was poking fun at all of you who still believe the official line on 9/11.

As a Bible thumper, I’d like to have a coffee chat with you. You’d come out a different person.

“Thou shalt not suffer a witch to live”.See, I can thump it too!

Bravo, Mr. Rall! Unfortunately, I know way too many people who ’think" like this.
Uncle Joe Premium Member about 10 years ago
Umm, ok. Perhaps someone else can translate this for me, because it doesn’t seem related to my comment or Locke’s. Maybe it’s just the cognitive dissonance kicking in.

Quit thumping your Bible, open it up, and READ the damn thing!

Only thing that keep[s me awake during sermons is the preacher thumping his Bible on the lectern!
