I'm sorry falling man, but since Gnome has become the voice of reason, I want to know how America is proudly founded on Christian morality?

Because this is a refutation of Trish's ideas on Christian moralities and morality in general.

She believes a reprisal of values is in order.

So do I.

We can’t stick to a system of morality that no one conformed to now or even before, or a constitution that is not TRUE to those values.

For if it is not true to those values either those values or that constitution must be reconstituted.

PERIOD.

A DAY IN THE EXODUS
Parody of The Beatles' "A Day in the Life"
Lyrics by M. Spaff Sumsion

PERFORMED BY RICK CORMIER

I led the Jews today, oh boy
Up to this mount - I think it's "Cyanide"
And oh the Jews were rather bad
But I just raised my staff
And smashed their golden calf

It blew my mind, that hand of God
I never knew he wore a pinkie ring
The crowd was read his new Top Ten
They sure complained a lot
Nobody was really sure if they'd obey one Thou Shalt Not

I saw a plague today, oh boy
The Egypt army, smacked with bugs and frogs
The cows and people puked all day
But I just held my nose
Said: Yo Pha-ra-oh
Dude let my
Peo...
ple...
Go...

[An awesome sonic crescendo orchestrates the even awesomer parting of the Red Sea.]

[Then an alarm clock jars Moses into this flashback:]

Got born
Got near erased
Rode the Nile - a basket case
Found by Pharaoh's daughter, what a shock
I learned to walk
Like an Egyp-ti-an

I was Prince, but whacked a creep
Jumped my bail, moved in with sheep
Stayed for forty years there, holy smoke
A burning bush spoke
And I thought I'd gone insane:

"Sla-a-a-aves...
Free the SLA-a-a-aves..."
(etc.)

MEANWHILE, BACK AT CAMP...

I led the Jews today - oy vey -
Right through a hole; the Red Sea disappeared
The armies came and it refilled
We'll test their swimming skill
Best of all, the lot was caught on tape by Cecil B. DeMille

I'd love to
Reach...
Zi...
on...

[The parting of the Red Sea is such a crowd pleaser that the scene is repeated here. (No, it's not parted twice in the Bible, but this is Hollywood.) At the peak of the sea-parting crescendo, the water walls fall in on the Egyptian army to the sound of a final, sustained chord.]

[And there is much rejoicing.]

Aren't you afraid you'll seem like a hypocrite, celebrating CHRISTmas?

Nope!

Nothing hypocritical about enjoying people's happiness. Just because I don't believe in God doesn't mean I can't enjoy Santa Claus. My irreligion is not exclusive but inclusive. Some day I hope you see the non-light too!

Christmas is on the dark side. It is full of people enjoying themselves and not listening to cheerless begrudgers.

(We could start a debate about Christmas pre-dating Star Wars but you are already involved in an endless one about the American Constitution so I wouldn't want to tire you out! laugh )

America is not true to Christian morality, therefore I do not accept it as a Christian nation, founded before or after or between the ‘void’ as a Christian country.

Christ says turn the other cheek:

America gets hit by two planes and retaliated practically the next day with bombings and then declares war on Saddam.

When Islamics see Christ's teaching - they are in the Koran and so is he - the country claiming to be in Gods name and in the name of Christianity is a lie to them.

And it causes religious conflict and the feeling of their own justification and righteousness when really no religion is involved:

It was about oil before and it is afterwards still about oil.

Christianity and it's morality is decedent.

Christ himself is another story: and this was known by great minds more than a hundred years ago:

'There was one true Christian, and he died on the cross'.

"Christianity and it's morality is decedent."

Is the word 'decedent' or 'decadent'?

Yes the turmoil in the Middle East is about oil. Who are you backing? Who do you want to win?
Our lifestyles are all so tied up in petroleum that we all have a stake in this conflict.

Funny that this region seems to be such a center of global concern

Of course it's just a cosmic accident that all this oil that we have allowed ourselves to become so dependant upon is under the land of the Bible.

Or IS IT?

MICHAEL MOORE IS COMIN' TO TOWN
Parody of "Santa Claus Is Coming to Town"
Lyrics by M. Spaff Sumsion

PERFORMED BY ROBERT LUND

You better watch out
You better all flee
You better phone threats to UVSC
Michael Moore is comin' to town

He's gonna get booed
He's gonna get pissed
He's gonna say Bush is Satan's right fist
Michael Moore is comin' to town

He'll see lines of protestors
From campus to the mall
He'll probably face a firing squad
This is Utah after all

So -
You better store food
And drinks you don't like
We're 'bout to get hit by Hurricane Mike
Michael Moore is comin' to town

He knows he won't win converts
He knows it's hardly worth
The search for nonconformists here
In the reddest state on earth

Oh -
You better watch out
You better pray hard
You better renew your NRA card
Michael Moore is comin' to town!

SUNDAY I'M IN CHURCH
Parody of The Cure's "Friday I'm in Love"
Lyrics by M. Spaff Sumsion

I've got Cubs on Tuesday nights
Wednesday, Thursday, P.P.I.'s
Friday, packing camp supplies
And Sunday I'm in church

Wednesday it's the quilting bee
Tuesday night, H.F.P.E.
On Monday, genealogy
And Sunday I'm in church

Saturday - Scouts
Bust some service projects out
Store some food in case of drought

Tuesday's always temple day
Wednesday, Thursday, M.I.A.
Friday night, High Priest soiree
And Sunday I'm in church

Wednesday, work the welfare farm
Thursday, help the Elder's Qarm
On Friday night I'll wash the garm
-ents, Sunday I'm in church

Saturday's - when
Sunday's talks get planned again
And Conference for the brether-en

On Sunday I thrive
There's meetings till five
And then I wait - till home teachers arrive
I'm a Temple Square guide
I make refreshments with pride
I'm in the road show - and the fireside
My eternal reward
Is to never be bored
I teach the youth how to serve the ward
It's such uplifting work
That I'm going berserk
All Sunday I'm in church!

Thursday after basketball
Decorate the cultural hall
Friday night's the singles' ball
And Sunday I'm in church

Wednesday, Thursday, choose the right
Tuesday, mix some punch with Sprite
Monday's always fam'ly night
And Sunday I'm in Church!
