Perhaps she does. I’m lazy. Maybe you have a bad eye. We’re all open to these kinds of remarks.
My eyes are fine, thanks for asking.
Seems to me like a child trying to get attention by being shocking.
80% of today’s comics meet this criteria. But only 1% have a show of their own on a seasonal basis.
Her show is based almost completely on ‘access’ to those higher on Hollywood’s food chain than herself. As such, to gain new material, she has to be around them.
Give her caustic comments ‘about Hollywood’ she has to balance it out by making these ‘oh so trendy’ comments for the beasts consumption.
Just my opinion. Damn shame. She has her moments of hilarity, but I won’t watch her again now.
I suppose it would be easier to just say "That's just the way it is, just believe it". I think, though, that if God blessed us with a fantastic brain and intellect, it's our duty to use it. No one has yet explained to my satifsfaction the justice of unlimited punishment for a limited crime, i.e., a crime commited in a limited time and space. And I feel God, by definition, must be just.
A sincere, good Muslim, born in a land where one praises almighty God with the word Allah, or a Hindu who uses the word Vishnu, are they doomed merely for using the wrong sounds, though their aim and intent is identical to a Southern baptist, who, like them, uses the words, ideas and rituals that are customary to his friends and community? I can see correction from God for inadvertantly erring in one's method of worship, but eternal damnation? I don't think that every member of a non-Christian religion, every secular person, and every member of a questionable Christian sect is defiantly and proudly opposing and rejecting God. So why the ultimate punishment?
Not asking you to answer, just sharing my thoughts here :)
That really makes sense. She does always seem acutely conscious of how she's perceived by the elites.

Thanks. I’ve followed her career for the past few years now, since here ‘On the D List’ show came on. Many of them are hilariously funny....but she believes, with justification, her most fanatical fans are gays...and Rosie is their Queen, so her playing riffs off of Rosie O’s anti Christian insanity isn’t all that surprising.
Terrible business mistake however. Editing it out of the emmy’s ‘are we great’ show thats coming is ineffective due to ‘youtube’ and the alternative media.
If I may offer a slightly different method of expressing the Gospel..
The issue isn’t so much being damned for an infraction, as much as it is how anything that might have any semblance of unrighteousness in it to have a relationship with something that is Perfect Righteousness.
That mechanic has been provided by the one who is perfectly righteous and perfectly just Himself.
Now here is another interesting twist. When He finds something that is righteous in something else, His perfect justice allows Him the freedom to bless those whom He finds righteous in perfect justice with His grace.
He’s gone even further, than this. He has even promised that anybody who siply exercises a smidgeon of faith more than absolutely no faith whatsoever, will have a saving faith.
So the only real issue is discerning what type of faith is good enough for Him to recognize as righteous.
One very simple way of doing that is to exercise the very same faith which our Lord and Savior Christ Jesus exercised while on the Cross. He has already told us that that same faith unto and by Him is recognized for righteousness. In other words, simply consider who God the Father is through faith in Christ, and He is then free to handle all the rest.
Once that occurs, the believer receives many things from God, the Holy Spirit. One of those things is a seal from the Holy Spirit. No matter what happens, how one changes their mind or their thinking, if they had faith through Christ at anytime in their life prior to the first death, they have an advocate through Him.
The issue of sin was settled once and for all on the Cross by God the Father judging all mankinds sins imputed on the Son. The issue of sin, with respect to being able to have a relationship with God through faith in Christ has already been settled, once and for all eternity. The issues of good and evil have not yet been so decided. Neither is it possible for us to accept Him after postsalvation sin, until we turn back to Him and confess our sins to Him, thereby re-entering once again into a status where He is free to continue our sanctification in our hearts, minds, and soul, a type of epistemilogical rehabilitation of our soul and heart, if you will...
In regards to all other persons, they also have an opportunity in their lives to have a relationship with God on His terms,...not ours.
The type of culture we are raised within will never prevent us from having a relationship with Him. Only our volition, deciding to rebel or turn away from Him and what He provides, alienates us from Him. For the believer who turns away, God disciplines him. For the unbeliever, there will remain an opportunity for salvation until the first death, but not afterwards.
BTW, if you still find a problem in what God provides, it generally is because either we don’t quite understand from His perspective what has been provided or have attempted to counterfeit His plan in our thinking of how a perfect world may be built independent of Him.
Since we don’t yet have all the answers, there are a few indicators when we might be on the wrong track. When in fellowship with God, through faith in Christ, we respond to whatever situation arises, rather than react. Love is patient.
Whenever we catch ourselves thinking independently of faith in Christ, we are actually scarring our thinking processes. This will be hard to understand at first, but without remaining in fellowship with Him, He isn’t free to to grace us with sanctifying our thinking due to His perfect justice.
WRT to a good Muslim praising Allah,...quite truthfully, if that person is focusing on God through mechanisms God provides to have a relationship with Him, that person may be in more fellowship with God than a person who claims to be Christian, who cites a creed from an academic perspective, but never places any faith through Christ.
Likewise, do not confuse human good with divine good, nor morality with salvation. Our sins will bare us out. Thanks for the opportunity to write a little to you. Regardless of what I write, though, God has had a plan for you from eternity past and the important thing is to be in the right place at the right time to fulfill what He has in store for you. That happens first, by simply having just a smidgeon more faith, than absolutely no faith in Him, again through jesus Christ our Lord. Just let Him know what you think though faith in Christ, and He handles all the rest. (Lots of testing as you advance in your walk, but for every cursing there is a blessing, again through faith in Him.)
I caught a video clip of her actual remarks at the Emmy’s this morning on Fox & Friends. An interesting idea came to me when listening to her delivery of the blasphemous statements, which she intended, and generally received by the audience as comedic.
When I had read the quotes here, it appeared to me she was appealing to an agnostic/atheist/generally antiChristian audience to appeal to their antichristian nature. Her ‘joke’ in written form appears to emphasize a delivery where the ‘punch’ or emphasis phrase, used to spark laughter or the comic twitch, focused on the phrase, beginning with “Suc* it,....this is my g*d.”
On the contrary, when the punchline was delivered, it became obvious that she had the line pre-written, and attempted to deliver it as a comedian, but the crowd got ahead of her and foresaw her commentary about how many others refer to Jesus and she already well telegraphed her interpretation.
Now as a comedian, she grossly misread the audience, because she forced the line and even drug it out beyond any semblance of humor (even for the antichristian).
The idea I considered as interesting is that her presentation seemed to manifest the joke may not have been her original idea, that she is rather poor at its delivery, and thirdly was unable to read her audience, but apparently felt it important enough to continue to scream it out even after her ‘god’ of an audience approval was likely to show her disfavor in her continuing the delivery.
IMHO, she looked more like she was trying to earn another occultic merit badge for a different audience than the one she was addressing, and accomplished her perceived milestone for her handlers, but in doing so revealed a remarkably poor ability to read an audience, ad lib, and carry a joke to completion in a league beyond her own.
Very sobering possibility.
Sounds like you could well be quite right.
Thanks.
SHE LOOKS LIKE SATAN HIMSELF!!!
Be not deceived; God is not mocked:
for whatsoever a man soweth,
that shall he also reap.
Here are some men and women who mocked God :
John Lennon (Singer):
Some years before, during an interview with an American Magazine, he said:
“Christianity will end, it will disappear. I do not have to argue about that. I am certain. Jesus was ok, but his subjects were too simple. Today we are
more famous than Him” (1966).
Lennon, after saying that the Beatles were more famous than Jesus Christ, was shot six times.
Tancredo Neves (President of Brazil ):
During the Presidential campaign, he said if he got 500,000 votes from his party, not even God would remove him from Presidency.
Sure he got the votes, but he got sick a day before being made President, then he died.
Cazuza (Bi-sexual Brazilian composer, singer and poet):
During A show in Canecio (Rio de Janeiro), while smoking his cigarette, he puffed out some smoke into the air and said: “God, that’s for you.” He died at the age of 32 of AIDS in a horrible manner.
The man who built the Titanic:
After the construction of Titanic, a reporter asked him how safe the Titanic would be. With an ironic tone he said: “Not even God can sink it” The result: I think you all know what happened to the Titanic .
Marilyn Monroe (Actress):
She was visited by Billy Graham during a presentation of a show. He said the Spirit of God had sent him to preach to her. After hearing what the Preacher had to say, she said: “I don’t need your Jesus”. A week later, she was found dead in her apartment .
Bon Scott (Singer):
The ex-vocalist of the AC/DC. On one of his 1979 songs he sang: “Don’t stop me, I’m going down all the way, down the highway to hell”.
On the 19th of February 1980, Bon Scott was found dead, he had been choked by his own vomit.
Campinas (IN 2005)
In Campinas, Brazil a group of friends, drunk, went to pick up a friend.
The mother accompanied her to the car and was so worried about the drunkenness of her friends and she said to the daughter holding her hand, who was already seated in the car: “My Daughter, Go With God And May He Protect You.” She responded: “Only If He (God) Travels In The Trunk, Cause
Inside Here....It’s Already Full “
Hours later, news came by that they had been involved in a fatal accident, everyone had died, the car could not be recognized what type of car it had been, but surprisingly, the trunk was intact.
The police said there was no way the trunk could have remained intact. To their surprise, inside the trunk was a crate of eggs, none was broken.
Christine Hewitt (Jamaican Journalist and entertainer) said the Bible (Word of God) was the worst book ever written.
In June 2006 she was found burnt beyond recognition in her motor vehicle.
Many more important people have forgotten that there is no other name that was given so much authority as the name of Jesus.
Many have died, but only Jesus died and rose again, and he is still alive.
This last statement on your list is the only one I am sure about. The others may be true but there are some problems with logic if this is intended to prove anything. Everybody dies, Christians included. According to the Bible, some were tortured in horrible ways because they affirmed their belief in Christ.
