Ok, so it's Friday the 13th today and people talk about it. And every time you get one or two Christians who say they can't believe people believe in superstitions (hint: most people don't, it's just something to talk about) and refer to their Christianity in some way (e.g. "Christianity came to Poland 1000 years ago but people still believe in stuff like that").

What the hell? I mean, I would understand if you were an uber-rationalist/materialist and making fun of black cats, broken mirrors and Fridays the thirteenth, but with your idiot belief in water-walking zombie Jews on sticks you really have no room to criticise others (at least people who "believe" in Friday the 13th usually don't organize their lives around it).

Funny as balls.

I laugh at uber-rationalist/materialists for their silly belief that they can understand everything that happens in the universe.  :P

You know, I could have written up a whole thing, here but what's the point?  It just goes in one ear and out some other hole.
I've given it serious thought. I must scorn the ways of my family, and seek a Japanese woman to yield me my progeny. He shall live in the lands of the east, and be well tutored in his sacred trust to weave the best traditions of Japan and the Sacred South together, until such time as he (or, indeed his house, which will periodically require infusion of both Southern and Japanese bloodlines of note) can deliver to the South it's independence, either in this world or in space.  -Lettow April of 2011

well yeah you see. The Bible is different.

It is true. I know this, because the people who want me to let them tell me how to live because the Bible allows them so, told me that.

That's the second time you've used that.  Find another one that's less boring, kiddie cockslurper.

its funny that he is not using the manfeet-washer one

But he IS right you know. Polacks are crazy catholics. They are like the Catholic version of the various American sects. So they can STFU about superstitions.

Because superstitions are unchristian shit.

Nobody gives a rat fuck what sort of intolerance he suffers over there in Old Europe.  That's not Languish's problem.
He doesn't like Poland, he can suck strangers' toes in public restrooms elsewhere.  We don't need to hear his bitching here.

I was born on a Friday the 13th, so it's like a mini-birthday for me.  :cool:

He only really care about how his sexual predilections are received.  Considering how people like him are treated in other parts of Eastern Europe where it's not strongly Catholic (or even religious), I'd say religion is not the root cause.

Christians vs. superstitions may be funny, but Martinus vs. strawmen is an old chestnut.
The purpose of studying economics is not to acquire a set of ready-made answers to economic questions, but to learn how to avoid being deceived by economists.
