Men will be lovers of themselves? I think that goes without saying.

You do not delight in sacrifice, or I would bring it; you do not take pleasure in burnt offerings. The sacrifices of God are a broken spirit; a broken and contrite heart, O God, you will not despise.—Psalm 51.

God wants you broken-spirited and broken-hearted.  Nice guy, this God of theirs . . .

Lovers of money, unholy, unforgiving, unthankful, brutal, traitors ...

Sounds like the White House staff to me.

That whole laundry list of “men loving themselves” sounds like Bush and Cheney plundering the treasury for their buddies and setting up Haliburton as the national police force through authorizations for “private security firms” to manage foreclosed properties.

“Men will be lovers of themselves”

At least their sinuses will be clear.

Everyone please join me and find out what your Palin family name would be.

If you go read 2 Timothy 2 and 3, you’ll see that in context what the Apostle is warning against is allowing such people to become leaders of the Christian Church.  (Actually, this denunciation appears in context to be part of an apostolic smear campaign against a couple of Gnostic heretics named Hymenaeus and Philetus).

If you go by the back side of the sign, the end times have been happening since the beginning of recorded history…

These people seem a little crazier than the average Christian, but it’s really no different from what the religious right are saying in their churches every Sunday.  The signs do seem to apply to Bush/Cheney and the neo-con/Christian coalition that has kept them in power, but you’d never be able to explain that to them.

Barrel McRaven Palin

My son Crunk Petrol loves his new name.  My BIL is considering a name change to Bash Budwiser Palin, because it fits - sort of - his biker avatar personality (even though the guy is becoming more than a little bit of a paranoid wingnut with surround sound speakers).

Trowel Ogre Pallin.

Oh, and Pam, as a native Las Vegan, I am sorry you ran into a religious wacko-the conspiracy theorists are so much more fun.

Hook Tuneup Palin. Which is reasonably apt, as I am a guitar player who tunes up on stage all the time.

Hook, now…...is that like Captain Hook, or like Hooker?

I once stopped at a booth a guy had set up on Van Ness Ave in San Francisco, replete with photos and literature claiming the US government had murdered John Lennon.  Being a Beatle Maniac, I stopped and asked him what it was all about.  But he was in the middle of strumming a guitar and singing a song, and, although there was no one else within earshot, paused only long enough to tell me to wait until he had finished warbling.  I laughed and walked away.

“...Heaven and Hell are the only two places. You’re not gonna go to purgatory, and you’re not gonna come back. That sounds like a horrible thing to me.”

Way to admit that your life sucks, guy.

Oh, and I’m Drill Swollen Palin.

You know what Atheist?  That’s a really good way to start a conversation with the religious.  Thank you for showing me the way.

Which is reasonably apt, as I am a guitar player who tunes up on stage all the time.

So you’re EVERY GUITAR PLAYER ON THE PLANET, then. My guitar player tunes up between every song and gets snippy if we don’t give him enough time. I tell him, “Hey, it’s country music, you got a Telecaster through a Fender Bassman. It’s close e-damn-nough” but I’m a bass player, so what do I know.

It took me a few seconds to figure out what “smoneys” were.

Hmm bigger than the “god hates fags” people.  Maybe?

R2K

Ugh. Yet another reason why my hometown continually disappoints.

As a local, I offer my sincere condolences.

Hey, I’ve seen this guy before! Or, at least, his sign has been posted online because the first time I saw it, I couldn’t figure out what Smoneys were.

That’s a really good way to start a conversation with the religious.  Thank you for showing me the way.

You’re welcome

Man, this street preacher sounds like a pundit.  Or do pundits sound like street preachers?  I’m not even sure any more.

Isn’t the second sgn the Republican Presidential Campaign Platform?

Loin Falcon Palin

which is just… um… dumb

Fleck Rookie Palin.

Hehehehe.

He really needs to do some work on his presentation - definitely not enough hellfire.

I knew Ben Stein threw his hat in with the anti-evolution crowd, but preaching on a street corner?

I thought it was Shoneys, the restaurant chain, and I thought well if you love those restaurants maybe that’s a sign of gluttony one of the seven deadly sins, but then I zoomed in and saw it was Smoneys
which I thought might be a misprint for Smokeys, meaning state police lover, which isn’t necessarily a sin unless you and the state cop are married to other people, but then I thought it could be a typo for Simony, which is certainly a sin all these evangelists are trying to commit, but then it occurred to me that it was just a weird rebus for money with dollar signs before and aft.

I was so disappointed.
