Are we mocking religion?

Are we Kathy Griffin?

james म्हणाले...

No. They are praying to their gods. "God is that, than which nothing greater can be conceived" and the state is the greatest thing they can conceive of.

Why is Steve Bannon permanently banned from Twitter and Facebook for saying heads should roll in some colorful language, but Kathy Griffen can pose with.... Ah fuck it, we all know the reason.

Lucid-Ideas म्हणाले...

I don't think so, but some people are certainly thinking it loudly.

Oso Negro म्हणाले...

She should be relieved that it is concerned religious people praying, not outraged conservatives shooting.

Is it really that important who’s president?

I doubt it.

So what if he's in Chinas pocket? All's well, that ends well, right?

Buttkiss69: exactly. We would have 250K Covid dead if Trump didn't facilitate the spreading of China's bioweapon.

3 SCOTUS appointees in 4 years. No new major overseas conflicts. The ability to not fold under "trunalimunumaprzure".

Yes.

I think those could be Muslim women so no, I'm sure there isn't any mocking of religion happening here.

I jest, I'm pretty sure they aren't Muslims (peace be upon them) and I also think that there isn't really an intention to ridicule but maybe more just teasing, don't take this all so seriously, praying over something that's not such a big deal (Biden being in the lead, if it were the other way around, Kathy Griffin would be on her knees, too).

Renee म्हणाले...

Parts of the world are more religious, for instance African countries that may look up to the United States as a model of democracy and stability. These countries may are observe the few women praying differently and they going to observe the mob in a different manner, as well.

I wonder if Kathy would make that post of those praying were Muslims? Talk about beheadings.

if those praying were Muslims...

One side prays for justice and accountability.
They other burns down the place and attacks the police.
So sure, the religious rate mockery.
They really believe in those antiquated ideas of God, justice, accountability.

... morality/ethics. God in a universal frame of reference. However, religion in what is ostensibly a "secular" mode, in a local frame of reference, handed down by mortal gods (and goddesses) is more common, and the Twilight faith (i.e. conflation of logical domains) justifies divergence. They believe in social justice, social progress. Let us bray. #PrinciplesMatter.

Mocking religion? No. Progressive politics is their religion. The god that fails every single time.

War... uh, social justice adventurism (e.g. elective coups). Catastrophic anthropogenic immigration reform (e.g. "refugee crises", bridges covered with bodies and blood, displacmeent). Paid Iranian-sponsored terrorism in the Middle East. Obamacares and progressive prices. Selling influence to the highest bidder. Social progress. Conflation of logical domains (e.g. climate cooling... warming... change). Environmental blight and destruction ("Green"). Redistributive change (e.g. carbon indulgences, shard/shifted responsibility). Regulatory excess to normalize monopolies and practices. Diversity and exclusion, not limited to racism. Witch trials, warlock judgments, and protests. Selective-child or reproductive rites and clinical cannibalism. Let us bray.

isn't pretending to pray nearly as dangerous as saying the true name of the bear?

I mean, it did work out kinda okay for Gretchen, for NOW;
but what about when her phone runs out of battery life?

Calling the Lord "some body" is blasphemy. And some cultures you could be beheaded for that transgression.

Undoubtedly Griffin is mocking religion. I'm all for making fun of religion (and anything else), but this is just scorn and contempt. Griffin is being the kind of mean girl that undoubtedly tormented her when she was in high school. While her act is ostensibly about lambasting the absurdities and pretentions of Hollywood and pop culture, a strong undercurrent of bitterness and resentment runs throughout her work. She's the kind of person who desperately wants to join a club but when gets denied, attacks it and says she never wanted to join in the first place.

Roughcoat म्हणाले...

Farmer, you're overthinking and over-explaining.

Kathy Griffin is a stupid obnoxious cunt. That's all.

Do you mean dead from kung flu or dead with Kung flu?

It's about 15m actually dead from covid. 200m+ dead from various causes but who have had a positive kung flu test. And that would be IF the PCR test was accurate. Lots and lots of false positives.

5 “And when you pray, do not be like the hypocrites, for they love to pray standing in the synagogues and on the street corners to be seen by others. Truly I tell you, they have received their reward in full.

6 But when you pray, go into your room, close the door and pray to your Father, who is unseen. Then your Father, who sees what is done in secret, will reward you.

7 And when you pray, do not keep on babbling like pagans, for they think they will be heard because of their many words.

8 Do not be like them, for your Father knows what you need before you ask him.


H/T Jesus (Matthew 6)

I am not a believer in public prayer or in asking for anything in prayer. IMHO, prayer should be thankful, not pleading.

OTOH, I seem to be in a small minority. Even in my family.

So I have no objection to these people doing this. We all need to praise God in our own way.

As someone else said, Griffin is a disgusting cvnt.

We are a long ways from 2021.

Go talk to your friends. Get connected to a group that supports freedom.

Trump got more votes than any person in the history of the country for president.

This is an awakening.

It is an opportunity.

Seize it.

Ah dear old Kathy Griffin---struggling to remain in the public eye. She's given up on struggling to remain relevant--that passed long ago.

I know someone who went to Oak Park-River Forest HS with her and was heavily involved in their Theater program. She was an annoying twit then, but a very ambitiously annoying twit desperate to call attention to herself. Theater was a very big deal at that school and she was not well liked by that crowd.

And she's not funny. I hear that's a problem if you're a comedian.

Please explain this to me! And stop with the propoganda - it just hurts Trump. Remember, I've lived in California for a long time and am still a conservative. I don't give up! But lies are lies - Trump did not get "...more votes...! Unless, you're counting Republicans only?

mockturtle म्हणाले...

Mock away! We'll have the last laugh.

Enlighten-NewJersey म्हणाले...

hstad, If you add the votes Trump received in 2020 with the votes he received in 2016, I think you'll find Trump received more votes for President than anyone in history.

Yawn. Religion is mocked because it won't line-up behind 56,000 gender identities.
Had I been smarter, I'd've ™ed the lot of 'em.

Evidence of the senses, Farmer: heed them. If it looks like a c*nt, acts like a c*nt, and quacks like a c*unt ... it's a c*nt!

Keep in mind that he has little first-hand experience with c*unt.

Take a look at one of those highest-earing comedians lists and see if you really believe that.

As for Griffin, I thought she did a pretty good job on Suddenly Susan and when she transitioned from comedic acting to stand up, she had some decent material from her perspective as a minor TV celebrity. That concept eventually got reworked into her D-List show. It was a good format for her because she's much more in the sketch/improv tradition than stand-up, and the first few seasons were hilarious. Unfortunately, that success won her a dedicated fanbase, and she no longer had to rely on the comedy club circuit. She could book theaters where fans would come to see her, a very different dynamic than the club circuit. She was also always way too dependent on the "woman who says outrageous things" schtick. Boy that gets tired fast.

Evidence of the senses, Farmer: heed them. If it looks like a c*nt, acts like a c*nt, and quacks like a c*unt ... it's a c*nt!

Whether she's a cunt, a prick, a boob, or an ass means fuck all to me. She's not my friend, my family, or my co-worker.

Keep in mind that he has little first-hand experience with c*unt.

Speaking of assumptions...

Obadiah म्हणाले...

Yes of course the left mocks religion. Is that news?

And I'm glad they are praying. Lots of us are praying for our country right now.

Ah. In that case, please allow me the opportunity to demonstrate my truthfulness. You got a sister?

😕😯😆🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Thanks faggot, I needed that. You're an annoying little bitch, but I can't deny, you're a funny little fucker when it suits you.

Yeah, go look up my sister, I give you leave. I make no guarantees about her husband though. (Don't say I sent you please, he might have me dropped out of a C-130, after he gets done with you.) I daresay you would find busting open Althouse's kid offers you a much better risk-to-reward ratio.

But sure, swing by, she's in NC, probably voted Biden, please let me never find out, sigh.

Oh, my, I needed that. Oh shit, that was prime. Honestly, thank you very much, with our Republic on life support (and I really don't require your dissenting Eeyore opinion here), the laugh did me a power of good.

Here's to the healing power of laughter.
