Mark Ward: The Butthurt is Strong with This One, Part the Whatever Part It Is Now

Attention Edward Snowden: INCOMING!
Well, this should end well.
Flounce Bingo, the national game of the Internet
There are some people the internet will miss, and me as well. And then there are some who…well…
So, I’m an admin in a hacker group on Facebook. This is challenging enough with people who are real, rather than made-up personas, and who speak English rather than some garbled patois known only to troll forums, intelligible only to RealGirls and other similarly mentally-challenged persons or entities. But not everyone who is there is real, sane, fluent in English, or respectful of boundaries.
Since I am identifiably and undeniably female on Facebook, those persons feel that I must be the most welcoming, friendly, helpful, and empathic admin.
This is a mistake.
Here is one of them. Let’s mock him, shall we?
Via completely, utterly unsolicited private message on Facebook:
Am sorry for asking dude, but Did this Edward have a security Guards? If he not, I thinks I & my sister will have a lots of fun with him
- Monday
How would I know?
- Tuesday
Sorry, just because my sister ask bout him, BECUZE we want to visited him and made him do what we want , remove some bad peo
People form Google and Facebook and take down all they dam games 2!what does that have to do with whether or not Edward Snowden has bodyguards?
Well, just talk to him, Not hit him or not made him fear
That all, trust me, Even if he have guards that may not problems to usBut thank a lots man,Am sorry for asking but,but what should with GirlyBoy, it almost done, all I have to do now is wait for 3 or 5 days that all,
1- Talk a good talking with him, %70 2- give him what he want , %0 3-Rape him , %12 4-take down my Facebook , %2 5-Kill him , %-10000
One of these can be done with him
That is not my problem.
…But since you ask, I advise taking down your Facebook
Ok, I will give the victories to all the 2600 , is that ok?
Ok, I understand , bye
Well, gee. Glad I could help.
Edward, you’re welcome.
Art for Christmas!
Copper Painting by artist Marilyn McKee
How’d you like to get a $1,200 work of art for ten measly bucks? You would, wouldn’t you (you cheap-ass art-lover, you!)? Well here’s your chance to really stun someone on Christmas morning with an extravagant present that says more and better things about you than, say, an Ed Hardy nightie and a bottle of Malibu.
Haida artist Marilyn McKee, the same woman featured in this article I wrote for the Daily Dot last year, has turned to Facebook once again, raffling off this impressive copper painting. A jeweler by trade, McKee is branching out and doing more painting this year. This is the largest, most complex piece she has done yet.
Tickets are $10 and you haven’t much time. The draw is in 11 hours, 9am Friday morning. To purchase tickets by electronic transfer, message the artist on Facebook directly or email or phone. Here is what she posted on Facebook a few days ago, and there are still tickets left (two fewer if I can get the transfer done in time!):
The piece is signed by Haida artist Marilyn McKee.
The piece comes with authenticity
and has been painted on a metal canvas 2 feet across.
EMT will be accepted and cost of shipping will be incurred by myself.
Again only 94 tickets are left @10 each. so if only 50 sell your odds increase.
Draw will be Friday morning, Dec 20th @9 am or sooner if sold out.
Thank you

Support a local artist and get yourself some swank wall swag at the same time! By tomorrow lunchtime it will be too late!
For this, O Lord, I am truly grateful
Yes, it’s a new flamewar on Facebook, this time over the question of whether the existence of a theistic god is central to Christianity or not! It happened on the wall of a friend who had nothing to do with subsequent events, so I’ll leave him out of this. The initial post was about an atheist’s ability to have a civilized conversation with an open-minded Christian minister. And my initial question wasn’t snarky, just curious.

Stephanie Louise Fisher I’m sure any honest person is specially equipped to get on famously with another honest person regardless of their view on life, the universe and everything. I don’t see how being an atheist makes any difference. I wouldn’t get on with the pope but then I think he’s a dishonest hypocrite, but I do have two friends who just happen to be priests but they’re both environmentalists and very left wing so we get on famously. Their religious ideas also are evolved and don’t include the supernatural. -
Lorraine Murphy How can religious ideas not include the supernatural? -
Stephanie Louise Fisher MOdern Christians of the enlightenment do not believe in supernatural beings or events but understand things from the perspective of history, allegory and metaphor. Not all modern Christians are biblical literalists or fundamentalists as seems to be predominant in American Christianity. Liberal Christians are often accused of ‘cherry picking’ – that is, they advocate gay marriage, abortion and other things, but if that’s modern religion that’s fine by me.
-
Lorraine Murphy But isn’t God a supernatural being? Isn’t Jesus? Angels?
-
Stephanie Louise Fisher Jesus isn’t a supernatural being. Not the historical person underneath the story telling projected by later Christians such as the ‘god man’ of Paul and the late gospel of John. Not all Christians believe in a ‘person’ god being. The name ‘god’ is a word that can be used in many ways, such as universal ‘Love’, ‘goodness’ and so on.
-
Lorraine Murphy So you’re saying there are Christian ministers who do not believe in God as a theistic being, but rather as a monistic concept? Are you sure about that?
-
Stephanie Louise Fisher Yes I am and of course I am.
-
Lorraine Murphy Which branch of Christianity is that?
-
Stephanie Louise Fisher Methodist, catholic and progressive Anglicanism.
-
Lorraine Murphy Really? That’s odd, because the Anglican and Catholic theologians I know believe in the literal existence of God as a theistic being.
-
Stephanie Louise Fisher actually most mainstream denominations are capable of evolving and not being stuck in the middle ages as are a lot of modern atheists’ views of religion are.
-
Stephanie Louise Fisher Lloyd Geering has published many books. He is a Presbyterian theologian who does not believe in ‘god’. google him.
-
Lorraine Murphy Yes, but that’s not the question here. The fundamental question is: whether or not a belief in the existence of God as a theistic being is central to Christian doctrine. You’re saying it’s not. I’m saying that as far as I am aware, it is.
-
Lorraine Murphy I only know one Presbyterian minister, but he does believe in God. Let us say, then, that it is at best not a settled question.
-
Stephanie Louise Fisher central to historical belief of course.
-
Lorraine Murphy I’m thinking this was at least three chapters in the Screwtape Letters. If only my copy weren’t packed away.
-
Stephanie Louise Fisher as a historian my specialist area is religion and I study ancient and modern beliefs and visit religious communities.
-
Stephanie Louise Fisher outdated cs lewis.
-
Stephanie Louise Fisher It is now 2013…
-
Lorraine Murphy And I have studied comparative folklore and religion at university, and lived with a pro-gay-marriage Anglican minister and a Catholic theologian whose specialty was feminism in the early church. Are we seriously comparing resumes here? If the issue was discussed in the Screwtape Letters (which apparently you haven’t read) then the issue was alive even then. And we are talking about a religion with a history going back two thousand years. Baby and bathwater and all of that. The fact that an issue was discussed in the 1940’s does not mean it is irrelevant in 2013.
-
Stephanie Louise Fisher I see, you are American. You don’t have the same exposure to evolved thinking where you are.
-
Lorraine Murphy I see you are not much of a researcher, but you are a bigot.
-
Stephanie Louise Fisher It is historically relevant. there is a difference.
-
Lorraine Murphy I see you are still not much of a researcher.
-
Stephanie Louise Fisher so how many phd theses have you written. silly insults.
-
Lorraine Murphy “I see, you are American. You don’t have the same exposure to evolved thinking where you are.” Where do you live, Mount Olympus?
-
Lorraine Murphy Did you put emojis in your thesis?
-
Lou Willie this is waht fb is made for
-
Stephanie Louise Fisher I’m going out now to hug a tree, swim in the sea and watch the sun set over the horizon. be happy Lorraine.
-
Lorraine Murphy I am happy. Now.
-
Stephanie Louise Fisher very apt, Lou.
-
Lou Willie oh and i’m from alabama. you’re both wrong cause jesus and muhrica!!!
-
Lorraine Murphy Word up.

While the Warden’s not looking
and there IS no key
Ah, GPOY right there. I often feel like the smartest person in the room, but some days I literally feel like the only smart person in any room or even outdoors, all the way to the sky and including any spelunkers or snorklers currently under the surface of the planet. And then I go to Facebook, where I receive confirmation of this.
Yesterday I went to a meeting of people interested in a particular do-gooder nonprofit where the project lead spent FIFTEEN MINUTES defining the words in the title of the talk. If he didn’t think we knew what those words meant, why did he think we were there?
