The USA and the 'Divine Mandate'
by Abaddon inhaving had a bizzare (for a european) preoccupation with american history in the 19th c, i do find that current american foreign policy still has implict in it the religiously inspired rationale that enabled americans to seriously claim that the ethnic cleansing of the west, and the genocidal behaviours that this often entailed, was because god wanted them to do it.. from certain newspaper articles i've read it seems as if some of those in the white house believe that bush getting in despite not having the majority of the popular vote was a sign, and that 9/11 backed up their belief that bush was a man put in a certain place for a certain time and role.
that bible studies are a regular expected activity of white house staffers.. now, this makes me very nervous.
i prefer my religious fanatics to come from developing countries that may have weapons of mass destruction, rather than from the most powerful millitary country in the world with more weapons of mass destruction than the rest of the world put together.. obviously just because it was in a newspaper doesn't mean it's true (yesterday's guardian i think).. but what do you think?.

Okay, I'm setting up a visit from the local Dubs..
by Abaddon in... don't worry, this is just for recreational purposes... anyone who has ever read a few of my posts will realise i am unlikely to 'go back' (the idea make me want to heave).. i had a few dubs turn up last year sometime, ... i live in holland, but am english, and my dutch isn't so good, so i asked them to send someone who could speak english round.. they sent round a wal-mart (well, the dutch equivalent) dressed pioneer couple, he dumb, she actually quite bright, but their english wasn't that good (they didn't even know what apostate meant).
in any case, as this was the first time i had some witnesses to myself since i'd left 9 years earlier (other than my family, but they don't count), i managed to speak for about 45 minutes before drawing breath, or really allowing them to talk, going from the un issue through blood to evolution to prophetic failure.
however, the language level was too low for us to really communicate well, and i was, er, i guess you could say, "getting it off my chest".... a few weeks ago another dub called round briefly, and i mentioned i was english, and lo and behold, last saturday, a pio from the local english speaking congregation came round.

Fangs for the memory; would you become a vampire?
by Abaddon innow, first off, there's no such thing.. but, let's imagine that we live in the same dimension as buffy (most of the guys and a few of the women start paying attention), or the anne rice novels, blade, whatever.. vampires are real.
god is distant and removed.
there is an epic, but drawn out and irresolvable struggle between good and evil.

How to really ruin a Memorial...
by Abaddon in... me and my gf came up with a few ways to spoil the wine and busicuits ceremony last night, feel free to join in;.
taking a jar of marmite, and spreading it on the bread before taking a bite.. asking if there's any dips when they pass the bread.. asking the attendant who passes you the wine if there's any cheese.. faking an entire choking episode; taking the bread, gagging, choking, heinlich (sp?
) manuever, the lot.. take a good swig of wine, swill it like a wine taster, spit it out over the attendant's shoes, pass it back to him and say "it's corked".. start speaking in tongues after taking the emblems.. kneel when the speaker prays over the emblems, and then troop down to the front like a good little rc.. stick a condom packet on the tray of bread.. a few of those are a bit weak, and i honestly couldn't be arsed actually doing any, but it's fun to think of the faces... anyone else got ideas?

Blame Norway
by Abaddon inwell, i am stunned.... ... there i was, like any normal sane rational thinking person, thinking that it's all canada's fault, when it turns out that it's norway all along!.
get this, it's obviously part of a judeao-reptiloid-norweigan conspiracy.... a group of norwegians are demanding the return of the orklands and the shetlands.. now, before the more confused amongst us get worried, this has nothing to do with tolkein or children's ponies.. the shetlands and the orknies are two groups of islands to the north of scotland in the north sea.. they used to belong to the norwegians, dating back to a time when, broadly speaking, whatever norwegians wanted belonged to them (with a little help from a longship and a group of guys in pointy hats waving sharp objects).. this was never contested by england, or scotland, or anyone who liked their head remaining on top of their shoulders, until the king of norway couldn't pony up the loot for a dowery - he was marrying his daughter off to someone who knew what the word 'barber' meant, and didn't wear hats with screw-om horns all the time, and didn't have a surname like 'bloodaxe', social climbing as kings do.. instead, he gave the shetlands and the orknies to the king of england, on the understanding that when he paid up, he'd get them back.. well, this never happened.
quite how someone can forget (maybe it's something to do with the pointy hats) one has written an iou in the form of two, quite large, groups of islands (we're not just talking three acres of seagull shit here), i don't know.

My girlfriend is funny...
by Abaddon in... on the news yesterday they announced that president bush had made a statement regarding the elections in zimbabwe, that they were 'severely flawed' or something, and that the result shouldn't stand.
this caused her much amusement.
i know there's not that much of a comparison, but it's funny how people forget, isn't it?.
