ah, but **Poly** you certainly see the difference between what you just posted (a kindly meant, tongue in cheek reference to another message board) and this ‘quote other stuff’ - isn’t this crazy? who in the world would be believe this shit? type of thing. the most recent examples of course, was the whole sorry janl episode and the ‘rabid feminists’ threads. I understand that there are a number of posters who’ve become admired posters who originated some where else, it’s just the _tone_ of this does not IMHO foretell of positive results. ---

She said I’m already the boss. I thought about that for a while, and now I think I understand these guys. I think they’re the boss the way I’m boss. I’m the boss. My wife is **The Power.** I’m pretty sure of this, because if you have to make a big deal about how important you are as boss, and how everybody has to listen to you… Well, then you’re not really the boss, are you? ---

Hmmm. . . when I clicked the Statement of Faith link, I got: “ERROR!! The following error has occurred: Page not found! Page ID: 4” What do you suppose happened to the Statement of Faith? I really wanted to read it. I found it interesting that home schooling is God’s Plan because > [@](#): > > The best reason for choosing home education is that it is God’s revealed plan for raising our children. The Bible knows no other system of education. Yeah, well, I don’t think the Bible knows of any system of communication other than the spoken word and papyrus or whatever, so the Internet and those who use it (all the patriarch.org-ers) are EVIL and GOD HATES THEM! ---

> [@](#): > > \*Originally posted by Tranquilis \* > \*\*Assholes like [Patriarch.com](http://Patriarch.com), et al, are the reason I _stay_ registered as a Republican. I don’t want _reactionary_ assholes hijacking a perfectly good concept: Conservatism. So many people have actually bought into the idea that “extremism to the right”=“conservative” that I’m afraid that the few of us left who actually _are_ conservative are fighting a rear-guard action. \*\* Too late… They already have. Lott, Armey, and other idiots like them have as much power as our (just as conservative, but less christian-reactionary) Prez. AND they’ve been in power longer. You don’t honestly think that Bush would have got the nomination without their support do you? Face it, many, if not most of the powers of the Republican party are an embarrassment to conservatives. I’d love to take the party back from them, but so long as the people who vote in the primaries are under the sway of the assholes, that just isn’t going to happen. At this point, you’d have a much better chance of taking over the Democratic party and turning it into a truly conservative party, then you would in rehabilitating the Republican party. ---

I took a look at the [“What We Believe”](http://www.nogreaterjoy.org/whatwe.htm) section of [nogreaterjoy.org](http://nogreaterjoy.org)’s website, and found it to be the standard fundamentalist blither. But what struck me as _really_ interesting was their position on Hell. They stated that “We believe in a literal, burning hell where the damned will eternally suffer for their sin.” The odd part is that this section appears in significantly smaller type than any of the other sections. At least on Internet Explorer. Odd. Almost like they’re embarrassed about it. ---

No, I’m not posting at Patriarch-hell, I was kicked off, anyways. (I did post, like twice, asking a woman if she let her four year old boss her around or something.) So, I just lurk. I doubt they’d come here-they’d be banned if they did-someone at Ms. told me that they had stated a rule if anyone from Patriarch was found posting at Ms, they’d be banned. ---

I think they may have a point when they say that anytime I look at net porn, I’m having sex with my computer. It’s the only theory so far that explains why I keep finding electrical burns on my genitals and microchips in my underwear. ---

Pornographic satisfaction is like the pot of gold at the end of the rainbow – always just out of reach. The lust of pornography draws a man ever deeper into the dark tunnel of promise until he discovers he has missed life and love. Pornography destroys your ability to “make love,” and replaces it with the cunning wit to use and abuse. There comes a point when any attempt at a normal relationship is nothing more than assisted masturbation. Your world grows ever smaller until you are alone with your semen. You stink of self. You do not deserve a woman. Oh my God, this is better than Time Cube! ---

He destroyed two cities full of people because they were wicked sparing only a handful of people one of which was turned into a pillar of salt because she dared to turn back and look at the city. Hell, he wiped out all of humanity except for a handfull in a great flood! Based on that I’d say that the God of the old testament certainly didn’t love everyone. Marc ---

Guinistasia! I thought I saw your name on the patriarch site. They wiped out your comments very quickly. I post to the board regularly. I first saw it on the Links page at [www.nobojo.com](http://www.nobojo.com), which is a really good site by the way. So patriarch was on the “these people are screwy” page. There’s a whole bunch I don’t adhere to on the site, but I do enjoy discussing doctrine with these people…except that they’ve recently locked the boards down to women. I might have to pretend I’m a guy or something to discuss doctrine again. I think, on the whole, they’re nice people. I’m glad that their thinking is so far right so as to be unthinkable by the rest of us, because if they got hold of the government it’d be like something out of “A Handmaid’s Tale” by Margeret Atwood. They key to arguing with these people is that the only platform they adhere to is the Bible, and the King James Version, at that. Non-biblical logic rarely shows its face on these boards. I’ve had to tread very carefully when I ask questions, and I still get slammed once in a while by a member…mainly I’m told that I should be fearful for my salvation.
