Never understood what the hell that was supposed to be. A terrifying parody commercial perhaps?

They're still Christians though. As in, they still believe in Jesus Christ, even though they maybe take it too far.

You just managed to radically redefine the term "maybe". That said, let's not start a religious discussion here people.

that is what fundamentalists *are*. religious people who *actually believe what their religion teaches is true* rather than people who are regulars at a god-themed social club for nice people.

Quite true. I thought you rejected that line of reasoning, though, or at least you did when I told you that.

I distinctly remember saying several times that the fundamentalists represent the true beliefs of the religion, and that the moderates were shedding beliefs for convenience. And to the best of my memory, you said something along the lines that the moderates were no less true to their religion because religious beliefs evolve.

Don't get steamed just because you unwittingly agreed with me. We happen to have a shared perspective on something for once.

A Simple Guide: How Liberalism, A Euphemism for Socialism, Destroys People and Nations, by one Fred N. Sauer. Goodness me but this is right up there with Occult Ether Physics.
Indeed, a simple journey into "Look Inside" lists as one of its 10 Conditions for Transition to Communism to be "Free education for all children in all public schools. Abolition of children's factory labor in its present form."

Well, if that is the way to communism, then I have only one response to this:

WORKERS OF THE WORLD, UNITE!

This is pretty cool, thorough and informative about good use of color in a lot of art.

Romantically Apocalyptic. A rather interesting post-apocalyptic webcomic, with really good artwork. And a bizarre sense of humor.

I read the title and I'm already creeped out about going downstairs in the dark. I backed out of that site pretty quickly, but I can just feel that I'm going to have to read it eventually. Someone please kill it before I read it. xD

It looked (from my brief glance) like "How to butcher a human for consumption".
