How to Be an Arrogant Dickhead
29 August 2008 by BobHas anyone seen this? (I just found it here)…
Check out the smugness and arrogance. Just gotta love it…
(Isn’t pride supposed to be bad or something?)…
But always remember folks: Xians aren’t perfect — just forgiven…

I don’t like watching xian videos, especially when I’m in a downer of a mood (I finalized my divorce today
). So could someone describe what I’m supposed to be seeing. Using generic terms is fine since I’m assuming if you’ve seen one smug, “I’m forgiven, and better than you” video you’ve seen them all.

Well, going by this idiot’s “reasoning”, Gawd has chosen Obama because he didn’t make it rain, and Gawd blessed his chosen candidate with fine weather and lots of loyal followers in attendance and a glorious acceptance speech. And Gawd must not be for the Rethuglicans this time around considering who he allowed McLame to choose for his running mate.

(I finalized my divorce today)…
Hey, AUM, just wanted to say that we’re all here for ya, and some of us have been there. (My wife and I were both previously divorced, so we know a little about what you’re going through.)
If I can be so bold (just tell me to shut-up if I’m outta line, and I’ll drop it), allow me to say that divorce can be a kind of rebirth, letting a person reposition herself and get on with the next chapter of life. I can’t even begin tell you how distraught I was after my divorce, how disheartened and cynical I was about myself. And yet, the rebound was necessary, since I was coming off a marriage that was wrong at the core.
And now, looking back, I can easily see that not ending that marriage would have been horrible, and would have stopped my development at a crucial point in my life.
My thoughts are with you, AUM, and I hope this sadness that you’re going through is followed by a recognition of what opportunities still lie ahead for you.

My thoughts are with you also, AUM, hang in there. Things will get better.

What a dipshit!
How about praying for rain to fall in places of the world that are stricken by drought and the lives of hundreds of thousands of people hang in the balance?

Tommy, Bob described him perfectly…Arrogant dickhead…add dipshit as you called him and that would make him an arrogant dipshit dickhead.

If this was a parody of James Dobson it would be really funny. But this guy seriously believes, and that makes it pathetic.
As a Catholic kid growing up on a dry land, Catholic sharecropper’s farm, I can confirm that praying to God does not cause Him to send rain. Morning prayers, bedtime prayers, prayers before the three meals, prayers after the three meals, and still we would watch the corn die from the drought.
But one of the things the Catholics taught me was to not pray for misfortune to happen to others. If that misfortune did occur, who would you give thanks to? I’d like to place some doubt in this jokers little mind; do you think that voice you hear inside of your head … could it be … do you think, maybe … it could be … SATAN?????

Hmmm…turns out this prayer was as effecacious as just about any other prayer.
“I’m not praying for his teeth to fall out, or his tongue to dry up or even nodules on his vocal chords. I’m not even asking Gawd for something of biblical proportions, such as his mouth disapearing from his face. I’m just praying that this smug bastard shut the fuck up. Maybe a simple case of temporary laryngitis. And if, in Gawd’s wisdom, He decides not to do this, then I will take this as proof He doesn’t exist, because, good lawd, how can anyone stand to listen to such a smug bastard, particularly when that “anyone” is an omnipetent being that could do something about it?”

Hmmm…
Would it be SO wrong for all of us Liberal, non-believing, Pro-choice, skeptical heathens to pray to the…
oh-I-dunno…Flying Spaghetti Monster…for this arrogant dickhead’s…ummm…
balls to fall off?
Would it be so wrong?
Wait!…Since he’s a dickhead…I guess, appropriately, we should include his head falling off too!
We wouldn’t want to break up a matched set, now, would we?

Thanks for the support guys. The day after she asked for the divorce, she moved in with some other guy. I was working overnights at that point so it probably started during that.
Anyway, back to this asshole: So this thing is about prayer? Well, I’m glad I didn’t waste my time.

And they’ve said that they will postpone their convention if Gustav gets any worse. Would that not be the very definition of irony???
30 August 2008, on 9:06 am
AUM, he was asking if it is so wrong to pray for rain during the Democratic National Convention…torrential rains so as no one would be able to come because of flooding on roads, etc. He kept asking over and over “is it so wrong to pray for rain”? (To stop baby killer Obama)
30 August 2008, on 11:52 am
Oh. So he wants it to rain hard enough to flood the roads to stop the DNC, but he doesn’t give a lick about the innocent bystanders who live and work in Denver and whose livelihoods could potentially be destroyed by such?
But then, that’s what they call collateral damage, right?
I’m really glad I didn’t watch that now.
30 August 2008, on 11:56 am
I hear ya, AUM, the descriptions were plenty good enough without hearing this idiot blather on justifying his delusions…
30 August 2008, on 12:12 pm
I was going to bring up the RNC and their possible delay because of Gustav, which is ironic in light of the rain prayer. But I wonder, are the rethugs concerned about the inhabitants of New Orleans this time around, or are they just worried the storm will take attention away from their convention?
AUM, my thoughts go out to you; my divorce court date is in November, to end a 30 year marriage. Not my choice, but I’m good with it now.
31 August 2008, on 10:53 am
What a dipshit.
31 August 2008, on 1:29 pm
So, considering that Hurricane Gustav is about to cause the cancellation of the RNC, we can only take away one message, right Mr. Shepard?
GOD HATES THE REPUBLICAN PARTY
I mean, really, considering your stupid little video, there’s no other explanation… your god actually hates you and thinks you’re wrong. Oh, you’ll try to duck it, but face it, by your own standards, GOD HATES THE REPUBLICAN PARTY.
(He also apparently hates people in general, since to make this point, he’s going to ruin lives with a big storm. Sure is a loving god, huh? Praying to these types can be dangerous Mr. Shepard. Why not join the rest of us who got on the clue bus and figured out this is fairy tale.)
ASSHAT
DailyKos had a good take on this: http://www.dailykos.com/storyonly/2008/8/31/122844/103/530/581188

I love the idea of GOD HATES the Republican Party . LMAO
2 September 2008, on 12:51 am
Actually, the prayer worked; it’s just that Gawd was a week late and outdid himself, once again. Deluge, Hurricane, the’re practically the same! Silly! You can’t expect perfection from Gawd…oh wait, nevermind.
2 September 2008, on 5:59 pm
Hang in there, AUM, and realize that you may be grieving for a while. karen, sorry to hear that but be strong.
I really wish one of these hurricanes would hit Georgia so that we can say that doG has granted their public, state-sponsored prayers for rain!
6 September 2008, on 11:23 am
Nice of the guy to recognize that its his gods choice.
After all, a little over eight years ago his god thought it would be a great idea if Bill Clinton was President for eight years. It was a little strange though, christians didn’t blame their god concept. They blame me and you. Funny? Ironic? Nope, just the usual hypocrisy.

Wow, did you not see the phone video of the dem senator that said “God was on the democrats side sending the hurricane to hit New Orleans again when the Rep convention was going on, then laughing like a wild man?? Do you know how many people died during Katrina and he is making light of the fact they were about to get hit again?? Wow you liberals are wonderful people.
