Stop telling God what to do, please

It means we might actually have a nice Pit fight occur. If Mr. Cynical sees the post. Which I doubt he will.

“People named Romans, they go the house?”

I just want to know which deity’s name the OP says at orgasm.

And BTW, Mr Cynical hasn’t been Mr Cynical for a long time.

You want to know what I say when I orgasm? Get in line, bub…

Isn’t the proper phraseology “Peeps named Romans, they take it to da house?”

I’ve seen several signs hanging on overpasses that say, “GOD WILL SAVE AMERICA!”

Now, I understand that’s supposed to be reassuring for God-followers, but to me it reads like…

GOD BETTER SAVE AMERICA…or else!

Sort of like my “I WILL pass this test. I WILL pass this test” mantra. Just kind of creeps me out, is all.

I’m sorry, but I read this as: “You want to know what I say when I orgasm?: ‘Get in line, bub…’” and was thinking that this guy has an interesting sex life! :smiley:

The polite skeptic’s prayer:

My first reading of it too. But then I thought, “Maybe freshmeat gets off by doing the conga”…

Oh Lord, woncha buy me a Mercedes Benz?

If you’re gonna ask for something, ask for something BIG.

It’s not the imperative mood, I agree. It’s like saying, May God bless you, or I hope that God blesses you, or Would that God bless you. I don’t think it means Hey God, you’d better start blessin’ America before I come up there and regulate; just who the hell do you think you are, anyway?

In the culture I hail from, the polite response to someone’s sneeze means, literally, “be healthy”. As in “I hope it’s a mosquito up your nose as opposed to a case of terminal 'flu”. Quite agnostic.
