I like that “T-Shirt Buddhists”.
If I ever get another band together that will be among the names that I choose.
“The T-Shirt Buddhists”. It’s right up there with “Hathead” or “The Bloated Ticks”.
“it’s a cafeteria style spirituality” that’s funny. We have cafeteria Catholics, also three quarter Catholics, who are the congregants who make for the exits right after Eucharist, so as to get out of the parking lots first. We also have “C and E’s” which are members who attend services only at Christmas and Easter.
“A guy I know”
He’s a nice guy. A little full of himself.
I found the quote that I was originally looking for; I had to sig out my “olde MAC”. It was Patrick Henry.
“Pacifists are among the most immoral of men - they make no distinction between aggression and defense. Therefore, pacifism is one of the greatest allies an aggressor can have.”
If you dig the Flecktones and you have a half hour to kill you might really enjoy these shorts of a recent DVD that I saw on Youtube last night of their last CD.
This is the first installment, follow in successive order.
Very quirky and funny, I figure if you like Dennis Miller, you’ll probably get a kick out of the low key comedy.
Thank you very much. I just coined that. I'm afraid I wasn't being original with the "cafeteria spirituality" comment. I stole that directly from the infamous phrase "Cafeteria Catholics." Some people like to pick and choose within one tradition. Some want a slice of this and a spoonful of that from a variety of traditions. It's a great concept for a restaurant. lol
“Pacifists are among the most immoral of men - they make no distinction between aggression and defense. Therefore, pacifism is one of the greatest allies an aggressor can have.” - Patrick Henry.
That's it! That hits the nail on the head. My favorite Founder's quotes come from Patrick Henry and Thomas Paine. They had a way of bottom-lining things.
Thanks for the link. I'll check it out. Speaking of Dennis Miller; he did the best take on water boarding on BoR one night that I have ever heard. Something like; 'Why the controversy? To me water boarding is a golden gift. It does no physical harm and gets hardened terrorists to sell out their mothers in a few minutes.' That is exactly how I have thought about it since I first heard of it. I couldn't find a Youtube of it but maybe there is now. It was funny but absolutely true.
