Hard-to-Counter Assertion in Religious Debate [Dan Collins]

One virtually unanswerable way to respond to others’ foul pronouncements with respect to your faith is to run them over with your cab, for nothing represents the goodness of God so well as a 4-barrel 455 V-8 careening toward a fare.  It may not win you style points, but it is very effective, and if you are a member of a minority, it’s very unlikely that it will be regarded as a hate crime.

On the other hand, attempts to kill clients may make your employer uncomfortable or even cost you your permit!  (That’s a matter for the licensing board, though.) So, you have to weigh the pros and the cons.

UNRELATED:  And there he kept her, BECAUSE OF THE PATRIARCHY!

CAIRO, Egypt — A mud brick tomb dating back more than 4,000 years has been discovered near Egypt’s most ancient pyramid in the Saqqara complex south of Cairo, an antiquities official announced Monday.

The tomb, which was found by an Egyptian-Australian mission, belonged to Ka-Hay , who kept divine records, and his wife, said Zahi Hawass, Egypt’s antiquities chief.

ALSO: Necrophilia can be cute.

OTOH: Is Britney Spears Traveling Down the Anna Nicole Smith Road?

I don’t know.  Is that in the Bahamas?  And just what is an Anna Nicole Smith flap?  Isn’t that kind of reductive?

    Perhaps it is time for a Religous Minority Taxi Driver’s Bill of Rights.

    Allah wants me to kill you!

    The price fo a fare for three miles: $4.50

    The price of a reference Koran for your cab: $20

    The look of infidel blood on your bumper and grill: priceless!

    For all you needs, Allahcard.

  4. Dan Collins says:

    Dale,

    I think that should be grille.  At least I dare to hope so.  I’m audacious that way.

  5. cirby says:

    The TV coverage today showed a big, clear shot of the side of the cab, with the company logo prominent on the door.

    Somewhere there’s a cab company owner sitting in a room, bouncing his head off a wall…

    Dan:  I always thought of you more as indefatigable–no, redoubtable–no, inflexible–no wait, indomitable–courageous, glorious–oh hell, DREADNOUGHT!!  grin

  7. Dan Collins says:

    That’s really flattering, TMTM, but in fact I dread aught: my better half and my daughter.

  8. CockLikeAHorse says:

    Re the skeletons:  Was I the only one (evidently not) who noticed when this story first came out that our friends at the AP were already asserting that the woman was mostly likely murdered by the patricarchy so she could be buried with the dude?  Seriously–these people just dig up a six thousand year old site about which they know literally absolutely nothing and immediately conclude that it is more evidence that all men are rapists and murderers.  After all, it couldn’t be like they both died of the plague or in a war or anything right?  I mean that kind of stuff never happened before Amerikkan imperialism reared its ugly head correct?

  9. TheManTheMyth says:

    Yes the British Empire was great at naming their warships, but sadly never did figure out how to translate absolute male rulership from a beautiful theory into an enduring legacy……  wink

  10. Dana says:

    Unfortunately, Mr Collins, you missed the fact that such would be a hate crime: anyone who still has, and drives, especially a lot (as in: a cabbie), ”a 4-barrel 455 V-8” is committing a hate crime against the environment!  Can uou imagine the ozone-depleting and noxious fumes emitted by such a machine?  Real President Al Gore will have this fiend arrested, and the offending machine destroyed.

  11. Dan Collins says:

    RPAL–he’s the guy in Avignon, right?

    As for the hate crime: as if!  The guy’s from Somalia.

  12. BJTexs says:

    Real President Al Gore will have this fiend arrested, and the offending machine destroyed.

    The legions of Gorons will insure that this madman gets life for driving the dispicable machine. He’ll also get community service for his very reasonable response to those insensitive passengers insulting his multiculturalism.

    Then everybody will fart in his general direction…

  13. BJTexs says:

    Yeesh, Dan! Did Fox finally come through with the royalty checks? grin

  14. grouch says:

    Time check.

    Hmmm, Caracas?

  15. Dan Collins says:

    BJ–

    I got caught in a links vortex.  They just happened to be bringing the goofiness better this morning than anyone else.

    But if I don’t get that check soon, I’m going to tell you all in lurid detail how bad the news comedy show is.

  16. Dan Collins says:

    By the way, does anybody know where I can get a dashboard Prophet (pbui)?

  17. BJTexs says:

    Dan:

    I thought that the Rush Limbaugh as President with Coulter as VP was funny but didn’t see any other bits.

    They’ll be knocking on Jeff’s door … any minute now … quite desperate I’m sure … <crickets>

    FYI you can’t buy snake oil from Glenn Greenwald……..I tried and he informed me that he does not, in fact, sell or market snake oil.

  19. furriskey says:

    The name of the ancient Egyptian mud-brick tomb is a Mastaba.

    Just thought you would like to know that.

    It has nothing to do with the fact that this guy was entombed together with his chick.

  20. Swen Swenson says:

    Don’t tell me, let me guess: Ka-Hay’s heavily made-up wife was Mary Ka-Hay, right?

  21. furriskey says:

    “Look ma, no hands!”

  22. Dale says:

    <By the way, does anybody know where I can get a dashboard Prophet (pbui)? >

    Does that come with a bobbing head, like the dogs? Or is that Islamophobic of me?

  23. Pablo says:

    Essence of slithering reptile he’s got buckets of. He’s funny like that.

    Dear Mullah Goldstein

    As A Christian, do you think its ok to run down people with my car for calling me a godbag ? Or if an artist submerges the symbol of my Savior and religon in a bottle of urine, is it ok to force the aforementioned artist to drink the entrie container of urine upon threat of death (after I’ve removed the symbol of my religion from the aforementioned urine). 

    Then after I’ve done so, I have an Christian PR organization issue a statement about how Christianity is the religion of peace and if you question our peaceful intentions, we’ll kill you without even thinking about it.

    I come here for the answers to life’s important questions.  Thanks in advance for your assistance.

    And you believed him?

    TRUST BUT VERIFY!!!
