How easy it is to forget that whole "Don't fucking lie about other people" line in the Big Book

Lie, Distort, slander. It's all okay as long as it's done in the name of JC, or at least by his most ardent supporters.

Hypocrites, liars, and spinmasters. If I was God, I'd smite the whole fucking lot of them. I'd smite them out of spite. A spiteful smiting. I'm not talking death. Just herpes, or ingrown groin hairs, or painful BM's.

*...unless you think they are a rude atheist, then do whatever the fuck you want because they are putrid, horrible human beings and deserve it.

I'm still trying to process that one.

I do know that the A/A group has been visited by both POC and LGBT posters, but only because the posters identified themselves as such. I personally don't care if they're 3-foot green multisexual space aliens, I enjoy their company in here.

Or to quote a famous work of bad fiction: "...whither thou goest, I will go; and where thou lodgest, I will lodge: thy people shall be my people..."



But somebody will have to remind me - did we have a virtual cross-burning for these visitors, or just scream at them to GTFO?

If we didn't, it sort of blows her whole theory. Amazing, that.

Funny how the people always screaming about racism/sexism are the very first ones to hurl that crap at others. I think there's even a word for that. Something like a contraption used in movie theaters...

and there have been 12 posts, excluding mine, with 150 views and one hidden post. Looks like someone got their underwear in a bind and had to alert a post. I am sure it wasn't one of our good natured Christian friends from the "other" forum trolling their way through the A/A forum or was it?

there is a whole passage about lying for god and how it is a righteous act. But we can't even say the names lest we get death threats.

in fact I have been asked a couple of times to join in an activity that was a rouse to proselytize and try to convert me (a laughable failure.)

I would tag such Christians as lying hypocrites who see themselves as doing God's work while violating one of the basic Commandments.
