&lt;P&gt;And a person who cannot get through 2 sentences without using the word 'fuck,' 'shit,' or telling someone they're going to hell has no business judging the moral authority of other people, or evaluating other's intelligence. &lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;&lt;/P&gt;

&lt;P&gt;Oh really? Do you ever say anything that isn't simply yanked out of your ass?&lt;/P&gt;

&lt;P&gt;Know what? Fuck you. How's that logic, shithead?&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;First, regardless of your opinion, you are the fuckwad who decided to spend part of its life responding to what was for me a thirty second toss off. Then you want to criticize the LOGIC behind it? Are you fucking joking now yourself?&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;The logic, if you want to call it that, is just this: someone who's spent five years promoting war as a tool of social progress has no business "keeping tabs" on the leader of a Church guilty of harboring child molesters. Both are moral shitbags-- although the Pope is only one by omission, not commission. &lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;For you, dense was a compliment. &lt;/P&gt;

&lt;P&gt;By your logic, we would not need to hold anyone accountable for their actions on earth because they will be held accountable in the eternal afterlife (which you says lasts a million billion years, I thought it was longer). Since many people believe there is no after-life and unpunished criminals can re-offend, let's conclude that we should hold people accountable in this life.&lt;BR&gt;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;Where did you get your detailed description of hell? Were you condemned to a million billion years of suffering in another life? &lt;BR&gt;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;Apparently, hell is where they send angry, childish name-callers for a brief million-billion year tour of all the boiling bodily fluids the fiery prison has to offer. &lt;BR&gt;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/BLOCKQUOTE&gt;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;Well, if they have a hell for people too fucking dense to figure out when one is hypebolizing as a joke, you'd be in it. &lt;/P&gt;</description></item><item><title>Re: Different paths, same destination</title><link>http://www.slate.com/discuss/forums/thread/1135834.aspx</link><pubDate>Wed, 16 Apr 2008 20:15:11 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">8e55aff1-63ee-4857-a1e9-69fccb83d317:1135834</guid><dc:creator>matt2442</dc:creator><slash:comments>1</slash:comments><comments>http://www.slate.com/discuss/forums/thread/1135834.aspx</comments><wfw:commentRss>http://www.slate.com/discuss/forums/commentrss.aspx?SectionID=2073766&amp;PostID=1135834</wfw:commentRss><description>&lt;p&gt;By your logic, we would not need to hold anyone accountable for their actions on earth because they will be held accountable in the eternal afterlife (which you says lasts a million billion years, I thought it was longer).
