I’m only on page two, but it’s batshit dingleberries like Holly that made me lose any attachment to religion. If any god is that hateful that he/she would punish anyone who is hurting and is obviously not in their right mind, then I want no part of it.

Maybe because he’s the only one who can put up with your cheesy feet and the fact that you eat pistachios in bed? I dunno, I’m reaching here.

BTW, something which has been bugging me in every flapping thread JOSH has posted in, even more so than the sanctimony, the Kathy Bates-ish tendencies, and the fact that she’s used more smiley faces in a few months than the average poster uses in a decade:

This thing? That we’re posting in? The thing with the words that was made in your “honor”? It’s called a THREAD, smoochums, i.e a series of posts made on a message board forum, not a CHAT. CHAT is either the French word for cat or an online conversation carried out in real time.

(Protip: it’s not exactly an “honor” when people gather here in the pit to find creative ways of calling you a hypocritcal, judgemental, callous fucknoodle. Incidentally, it’s OK for me to call you fucknoodle because I’m a practicing Roman Catholic and we believe in the forgiveness of sins, so surely my pal Jesus can forgive a little thing like calling a spade a heartless bitchcake.)

God bless you and all other sanctimonious merkins always!!!🙂 🙂 🙂 (I’m 36 and a virgin, so I can say shit like that because of my lily-pure virtue, dontcha know.)

The bottom line for you people is that if you do not like that I have the right to stand where I choose to I stand on anything, ignore me or find somewhere else to be because I will change for no one. Why should I anyways? Y’all have made it as clear as glass that you won’t do any changing either, so why ask anyone else to?

God bless you always!!!

In a post where Holly says she will not change, she doesn’t post her patented 🙂 🙂 :).

Is this some sort of meta-irony or what!?

You could turn from the Adversary and to our Father, but you choose to nurture those unclean, sinful desires, thinking they go unseen. God sees all, Holly, God judges all, and he is judging you now. Turn from your sin and shame now, spurn the blandishments of Satan, put all secret thoughts of James Otto from your heart and fall to your knees before God and beg forgiveness. Repent, I urge you.

AMEN BROTHER!!!

Wow no smilies, seems like someone is a little butthurt

Holly,  
What you fail to realize here is that Jesus was a kind and loving guy. You know compassionate. Read your NT again and skip all the dogma, read about the Man himself after you do that and assuming you are not a sociopath, you would never say what got you pitted in the first place because he would not.

Count yourself among their number, Holly, and weep and gnash your teeth when you are cast down with them. An eternity without God, Holly, that is what your shameless filth dooms you to.

PREACH ON, BROTHAH MAN!!!

Repent, Holly!!! REPENT BEFORE IT’S TOO LATE!!!

Like I said, if you don’t like what my beliefs are, you don’t have to continue to talk to me, here. A gun isn’t be held to your head forcing you to have anything to do with me…no pun intended since the subject of suicide is how this whole matter started in the first place.

God bless you always!!!

After reading JOSH’s posts in [this off-board thread,](http://blog.gactv.com/blog/2011/03/03/james-otto-warner-bros-nashville-part-ways/)I cant find much humor in engaging her anymore. I think she’s quite ill, and possibly dangerous.

You see, I’m gay and I know it’s a sin because the Bible says so… but I really deeply love my boyfriend and would do anything in the world to stay together with him. What should I do? I can’t just stop loving my boyfriend so if I have to stop being with him because when he fucks the shit out of me we are committing sin, I think I’d probably kill myself from depression… which as you’ve laid out is also a sin. What should I do? And please don’t tell me to go talk to a pastor or find a church in my area… I’ve tried that before with absolutely no success. I know that only YOU have the answer for me!

What you find there was almost two YEARS ago, not days, weeks, or months, and if you start from the beginning, you will see that **I was attacked first**. Why should I have sat there and let others have their way with me?

Oh wow. You’re right. She thinks he actually told her, “I love you.”

I checked that link out and you are right. Holly sounds as if she is psychotic, and I wouldn’t say _possibly_ dangerous but _really_ dangerous. The veiled threats were chilling.

I’m sorry for the singer, to have someone like this dogging his career and the media associated with him.
