Give God a Break

After I told my daughter about the trick knee incident, she mailed me an old knee brace. It looks like a medieval torture device, so I probably won't try it. Maybe, but most likely not.

NOW: Taped to the outside of the mailing package was an envelope with "Please Read" written on the outside. I recognized her husband's handwriting. This guy is a nut case. I'm not kidding. I've had to hire a lawyer and warn this looney not to attempt contact with me, because he has stalked me on the Internet, by mail, by phone, and in person. But since my daughter was sending something, he attached this letter to the package. I don't know if she was aware of that or not.

So though I knew better, I looked at it, and it was another of those pious, holier than thou diatribes about God and being good etc. etc. and how it is all up to me to be nice to him. I loathe, detest, and abhor him and people like him who "get religion" and put a halo over their heads, and look down their snouts at "sinners" while they're doing things I wouldn't dream of.
What hypocrisy. What nerve. What gall.

If the idiot had sent a nice "How are you, hope you're doing okay" card, it might have softened up my attitude a little, but no. Same old thing--he's right because GOD spoke in his ear(!) What crap. Speaking of that--a couple of years ago I sent out a few what I considered funny Christmas cards, showing Santa with brown specks on his face and beard, looking annoyed. Inside the card is written "Santa knew it was time to add more fiber to the reindeer's diet."
Well sir, Mr. religious looney tunes let me have it about that card--harsh sneers and ugly comments. Give me a break--God would have thought that was funny--ask him Mr. Looney, next time you talk to him.

Self-righteous proselytizers — religious, political, zealots — all of them are for the birds! They are the most narrow-minded, intolerant bunch of loonies. No wonder you can't abide that guy.

LMFAO I'm sorry but your christmas card sounds HILARIOUS!!! I can't believe some people get so uptight about things. God has a sense of humor otherwise he wouldn't have made us all!!
comment by panthurdreams on Nov 10, 2010 9:05 AM ()
Hi panthur, you are right-- God made us for his amusement I think. He probably tunes in to his celestial TV every day to see what those silly creatures are up too.

Nothing like a nut to ruin a package in the mail.I saw a pretty good Christmas card the other day..."Have yourself a merry little Christmas. Just leave me out of it." Perhaps you could send that to your son-in-law?

I have a dislocating knee...have since elementary school...and I sometimes wear a brace. It really does make a difference.
comment by juliansmom on Nov 7, 2010 12:15 PM ()
Hi mom; Just on your recommendation, I will try the knee brace.

I like those cards you saw, but don't thnk I'll be sending any card to them this year.
The year I sent the Santa with the speckled face, I followed up with a typical religious card for them, so they'd know the Santa card was a joke. These kind of religious zealots don't have a sense of humor, though.

I love my MyBloggers friends! Either there are more "non-believers" (skeptics?) in the US and elsewhere, or we birds of a feather are sticking together. I'm encouraged to speak up more forcefully. Damn the torpedoes!
comment by solitaire on Nov 7, 2010 6:43 AM ()
I think Christians are just louder than other faiths and non-believers. They just shout louder than anyone else so nobody bothers any more.Maybe we of a different faith should band together with non-believers such as yourself! Nah...the Christians would still be louder.
reply by juliansmom on Nov 8, 2010 6:48 PM ()
sol, speak up now or forever hold your peace! Amen!

Sue, I don't see how you could hae it any worse than I do in Oklahoma.
It is a haven for the religious right. Your daughter is so beautiful. I
don't see why she doesn't leave the nut.

Jeri I have given up on my daughter seeing the light about that sicko she's married to. I try to maintain contact with her, but he always is trying to insinuate himself back in. He won't let her have a relationship with anybody except him.

Geez, too bad you have to deal with a case like his.
comment by jjoohhnn on Nov 6, 2010 8:45 PM ()
Hi jj; The only way to deal with it is not to communicate with them. It's a lot more peaceful that way.

I would have loved to receive that Christmas card. I think it is hilarious. I am very suspicious about individuals who spout religion all the time and act so holier than thou. They are usually trying to hide something. Hope your knee gets better.
comment by gapeach on Nov 6, 2010 8:04 PM ()
Hi peach; Tx for the good wishes for the knee. I don't want to sound harsh about religious people, there are some sincere ones out there who mean well, but too often people who "get religion" get a bad attitude and set themselves up on a pedestal. Blah!
reply by susil on Nov 8, 2010 9:49 AM ()
I can't stand being preached to either. As I told solitaire recently, with me it is the 'jehovah witnesses' - oh those people really get my goat!
Hope your knee improves
comment by febreze on Nov 6, 2010 6:06 PM ()
Hi breze; I say if a person "gets religion" fine--just keep it too yourself. But the Baptists, especially think it is their god given mandate to "Go into all the world and spread the gospel." And they try try try to do it.

I think your Christmas card was funny & I'm sure God has a sense of humor. Your son in law sounds like a pain in the a$$
comment by shesaidwhat on Nov 6, 2010 3:24 PM ()
Hi she; Pain in the a$$ equivalent to big fat hemorrhoids!
Thanks for visiting.

Hi lass; Oh my, you have no idea--I live in the deep south where there are churches on every corner, even in the country--and "religious nutters" abound.
My daughter's husband is one of those psycho types who get religion and mental illness all bound up together. History is full of nuts like that--think of Jim Jones in Guyana.
Thanks for stopping by, enjoyed hearing from you.
comment by susil on Nov 6, 2010 2:34 PM ()
I was just thinking, I don't want to sound offensive to anyone who does believe in God, it is a personal thing to every individual.
I just don't like religious zelots and the type of religion where they think that it is acceptable to shove it down your throat.

I’m like CornishLass, where I originate from has NO where NEAR the fanatical faithfuls that I now encounter on a daily base here. Funny, I am much more tolerant of their beliefs than they would be of mine.

I too giggled at the chrissy card. Now I could understand his attitude if it was Jesus on the card with the muck on his face, but FFS it was SANTA. Gary Larson used to come out with some terrific cards at Christmas. Makes me wonder what the SIL would be like if you sent a whole box-load of them to him come Christmas time.
comment by kjstone on Nov 6, 2010 2:25 PM ()
Hi kj; For years I had a Gary Larson cartoon cut from the newspaper, showing a cave man standing in the door of his cave holding a cudgel, looking out over a vast plain of gigantic beasts. He says to his wife "Couldn't we just have pasta once in a while?" Loved Larson.

No, I have found the only way to keep Looney from pestering me is to totally off all contact with him.
Thanks for visiting,

I maybe tarring with a very broad brush here, but I do believe that your country is far more into God and religion that we are over here and so, in following have far more, what I like to call religious nutters.

I could rant about religion for hours, I find it the most condesending and hypocrytical thing that we as humans partake in.

Your son in law sounds like a real twit and as far as I am concerned if he wants to go and play with his imaginary friend, then so be it!

Hi lass, Sorry your reply above..
reply by susil on Nov 6, 2010 2:35 PM ()
I'm laughing about the more fiber Christmas card. I had one where the reindeer had written Merry Christmas or something in the snow with poop pellets, thought it was funny, too. Yes, I agree that God has a much better sense of humor than these uptight goofballs would have us believe.
comment by troutbend on Nov 6, 2010 1:31 PM ()
I thought I had sent you one of those cards. I have another box of cards with a crazy looking Santa on front, with his cap hanging sideways. Inside the card reads "Hi! I'm Santa's brother, Ralph!" Anyway, thanks.
reply by susil on Nov 6, 2010 2:26 PM ()
Hello and how are you?hope that this find you in the best of health.
Not sure who is God but liked to meet this person if there is one.(no pun)
Tired of hearing this.Oh!what do I know.
comment by fredo on Nov 6, 2010 1:29 PM ()
Fredo, you sweet thing, thanks for asking
Fredo, living in the Bible Belt, people talk about religion and whether you want to hear it or not, the evangelicals are worst.
Hope you are okay and staying warm--got down to 32 degrees last night!
