And please shut the fuck up with the "not a real Christian" crap. Who the fuck do you think does this shit on a regular basis -- atheist rock and roll fans?

Were you never taught in, like the third grade that you need to read things before you know what they say? Here, from your own citation in the NYT
The man she had married professed to be deeply religious. But after more than seven years with Robert L. Dear Jr., Barbara Micheau had come to see life with him as a kind of hell on earth.
By January 1993, she had had enough. In a sworn affidavit as part of her divorce case, Ms. Micheau described Mr. Dear as a serial philanderer and a problem gambler, a man who kicked her, beat her head against the floor and fathered two children with other women while they were together. He found excuses for his transgressions, she said, in his idiosyncratic views on Christian eschatology and the nature of salvation.
“He claims to be a Christian and is extremely evangelistic, but does not follow the Bible in his actions,” Ms. Micheau said in the court document. “He says that as long as he believes he will be saved, he can do whatever he pleases. He is obsessed with the world coming to an end.”
I'll add, you guys claim to be a brain trust but you never read things that you pretend to know the contents of.
Update: I will say that reading the various stories purporting to tell what his ex-wives say, they aren't consistent. I wonder if the agenda of the person writing those stories doesn't have a lot to do with the discrepancies. I'm not going to believe anything, much, unless it's said under oath in a trial.
Update 2: I wish I could say that Simels is unique in embodying an unusual number of bad habits of thought among those whose educations are more dependent on TV than on using a library but there's a whole passel of them who are as bad and some who, if you can believe it, are probably stupider.
This from the asshole who said Bill Cosby was a victim of sexual McCarthyism.
ReplyDeleteAs with this, you seem to miss the point I made about the feeding frenzy over Bill Cosby last year, that was that he had never been successfully prosecuted for rape, which was what he had been accused of.
DeleteYou're the one who thought he was the kewlest thing c. 1965, when I never found him funny and never thought I Spy was kewl. I never liked his act or his acting. The only time I watched one of his shows was when Madelyn Kahn was on it because I liked her.
So Dear is nuts and possibly a sociopath.
ReplyDeleteIOW, an internet troll.
If, in all of the conflicting claims of all of his various ex-wives and the woman he was shacked up with in Colorado (the one who is going on about how she and he read the Bible constantly, apparently) and all of the things that various neighbors in three states said and the criminal records, about the only thing I have concluded is that he was nuts and quite evil.
DeleteAs I told someone here earlier this evening, it's not a lie that he read it at all, he seems to have read The Bible as so many internet trolls read things, giving it whatever meaning they want it to have. Which is ironic considering who and why I said that to.
Well, at least you're not denying you said it, which frankly surprises me.
ReplyDeleteWhat? That Cosby has never been successfully prosecuted for rape? I don't think he's ever been prosecuted for rape. That's a matter of fact. Only, oh, yeah, it violates the rule of your side, just make it up when it serves your purpose.
DeleteAnd, sorry, Sims, but a lame-assed, Amos an'Andy featuring spy program that elevated Federal agents into heroes the same years that the U.S. invaded the Dominican Republic, promoted various horrible fascist dictators around the world, fomented war in South-East Asia, etc. was not kewl except to those who only thought it was kewl to be kewl as seen on TV.
The foreign policy, of course, is why we watched it. What little fascist bastards we were.
ReplyDeleteGee, Sims, I guess I was just more of a leftist than you were back then, as now. You really weren't aware of the invasion of the Dominican Republic and the war in Vietnam? How old were you? 12?
DeleteSlate pointed out something else about Mr. Dear from that NYT profile:
ReplyDelete"Times Profile Depicts Accused Planned Parenthood Shooter as Violent Creep, Internet Commenter"
Nobody could have foreseen......
He's definitely a violet creep, I think he's got more in common with the Phelps tribe than he does your average Congregationalist or Presbyterian or Lutheran. etc.. I don't think I'd put much stock in decade old anonymous or pseudonymous online comments. as a Rosetta stone into his personality. What he's been doing is what's going to say something about who he realliy is.
