I managed to offend both Bible-bashers and Bible-thumpers.  I must be doing
something wrong.

Seriously, I think that it is evil to be deliberately incendiary and
offensive like I was.  Perhaps, JB was right and I should have posted this
on Bible-bashers, but I made that post more to be evil than irreligious. 
While arrogance is a problem that many Bible-thumpers seem to have, there
is no passage in the Bible that says thou shalt be arrogant.  I know decent
and humble Christians who I have a lot of respect for.  I figure however
that people come to this board to be revulsed and offended.  I think I am
on the right board for this.  Besides I have a lurid imagination.  On this
board I can take advantage of it.  I know no other forum in my life where I
can do that.  I am typically a friendly, considerate person who would not
spew the sort of filth that I have been spewing on this board.  But, like
INXS says, "Every single one of us, the Devil Inside."  Frankly, if you get
offended by my spew, you should take your faint heart elsewhere.  The stuff
put up here I find repugnant.  Some people watch horror films; me I just
read this board.  I find subtle evil to be more entertaining than people
getting hacked into pieces.  I find the very insidiousness of evil to be
some times quite telling.  That is why I put up stuff from a warped
perspective.  I know this little sermon takes out the fun, but it seems
that a lot of you take things quite seriously.  This is not evil; the fact
that you care about these things makes you noble, for only those that care
can bring into their lives and the lives of those around them a spirit of
compassion.  My apologies go out to those I offended.  None of my posts
were intended to be taken seriously.  So, next time I post up some friendly
advice, put your passion on hold a bit and see the point I am making. 
Apply your intellect, and then allow yourself to react with both passion
and intellect.  If you let either slip, you will not be doing yourself any
favors, you will just look like some yutz with a 60% reading comprehension.
 I kinda was enjoying all this attention, but I think it would be extremely
irresponsible of me to let this charade continue past this point.

I know it was a sermon, but it was a sermon on something I hold dear to my
heart.
Abdication of responsibility is an evil.  Irresponsible behaviour and
expression is responsible for most of the suffering in the world today.  I
have tried to behave responsibly with my last sermon, for I despise
evilness with the depths of my heart.  That, perhaps, explains my
fascinated attraction to this board, because I care and because I am
capable of revulsion.  Revulsion at evil is natural and to be cultivated. 
Thank you for reading my posts and suffering through my subsequent sermon.

May the Divine pour blessing upon your head.  May you love all the earth
and her denizens.

Love,
Dave
