What do you call a book club that's been reading same book for years still hasn't figured it out

[Duncanpup]

A Evangelical church

[PJMcK]

1. Okay, that one is very good (n/t)

[FoxNewsSucks]

2. That's my favorite one

It's so true!

[Diamond_Dog]

3. That one was funny!

[erronis]

4. I wouldn't limit to the evangelical persuasion or even the christian cults.....

[GoneOffShore]

8. Well yes, but in terms of American society it certainly works.

[tiptonic]

5. That was great!!

I have to show this to my wife.

[niyad]

6. I had a feeling it was something like that. Verrrrry good.

[GoneOffShore]

7. Stealing! Mine now!

[JPPaverage]

9. May I put this ony fb page?

I mean it's funny and it's true. Good stuff.

[Duncanpup]

12. You go for it

[KS Toronado]

10. Church going reQublicans won't like this, I'll have to tell them.

They can't see or handle the truth.

[paleotn]

11. They keep skipping over the good parts.

Should hook up with the Quaker book club. They do all the good parts and skip the crap.

[lark]

13. Most of them don't read or live it, just use certain quotes for effect..

It's nothing more than a prop for lots of them, they certainly don't care about following what Jesus said.

[LymphocyteLover]

14. As if any of them actually read books...

[Loki Liesmith]

15. Ooh ooh let's do Muslim jokes next

[mahina]

31. Right?

Dear DU

I agree completely that the hypocrisy of the far right is egregious, harmful and wrong.

Please understand that there are Christian churches that work hard to feed, house and comfort others, and build the beloved community. Those folks are mostly liberal Democrats and some of us are here.

The comments deriding Christians are unhelpful. We are doing the work. The church is a way to to do the work not alone but with our community.

Thanks for considering this. Aloha.

16. It is not that they have not figured the book out.

The problem is they keep changing the parts of the book that they want to obey.
Just for example purposes I will offer this American problem.

Christ did not ask us to help the poor.
He demanded we help the poor.
He said nothing about judging the poor.
He was real clear about who would do the judging.

So why is there so much hunger in America? If we are a Christian nation we should feed the hungry.
Me thinks the religion of Capitalism is in the way. That is a different book altogether.

21. When one's theology has to be twisted to match one's ideology, then it's not a religious position.

[The Jungle 1]

30. It is called cafeteria style Christianity.

I will pick this teaching and ignore that teaching cause I don't like the taste of it.

[Backseat Driver]

26. Oh yeah, we feed 'em alright - processed foods full of high fructose corn syrup,

glyphosated edibles, refined sugars, and excess salt, and an assortment of chemically synthesized preservatives, colors, flavors, and texture enhancements - transgenerational, DNA expression changing obesity is a global epidemic - perhaps a symptom of the embedded discriminations of the selfish, lopsided sharing inherent in the wealth gaps the world over? Even the precious 1% have to tempt (fundraise) to provide the means where economies fail "equality" rather that cough up their excesses in government taxes!

[The Jungle 1]

29. We aren't even feeding them that crap. Hungry children is way to common

In the book The Jungle the sausage was packed with saw dust and fat. Nothing has changed.

UNIONS need to be supported. I worked 35 years in union shops. I am in a very good position financially.

[Buckeye_Democrat]

17. I like it! I'll probably use it!

Such as asking my evangelical sister, "Are you going to your book club again?"

[Paladin]

18. Well said! (nt)

[Upthevibe]

19. I KNEW where you were goin' with that!

BAM!!

[Hugin]

20. Oh, I thought you were going to say...

The Republicans and "Atlas Shrugged".

[MLAA]

22. Damn, that is spot on! Thanks, Duncanpup.

[MyMission]

23. Actually I'd call it Torah study

We Jews read the Torah (the 5 books of Moses) in a scheduled order every year.

Last week we all read Shemini, which is Torah Portion: Leviticus 9:1-11:47.

During our reading and study we discuss different aspects from year to year.

One thing that has always informed and impressed me during this process is that WE change from year to year even though the text does not; how one understands or interprets the portion this year is different from prior or future years. That's the beauty of our "book club" because we're serious about it.

The Christians don't do this, and have a much larger selection of bible to get through.
So I wouldn't even call them a book club. A fan club, perhaps.

Your post did make me laugh and certainly has a large degree of truth, but I needed to give a serious answer too.

[BoringUsername]

24. Boring unless

there's alcohol or marijuana involved.

[Backseat Driver]

27. If you're partaking to relieve boredom, you're doing life wrong, LOL!

Not judging...there's always a duality of what's excessively good or excessively bad to consider. I'm just supposing you are a "responsible" user/owner of same that can afford the consequences if...oops! Life just got a little too exciting?

[Permanut]

25. Okay, I guess we know where you're going to end up..

it's in the book.

[KY_EnviroGuy]

28. The Republican Party reading one of those little pocket booklets containing the Constitution.

..............

That's a good one, Duncanpup and they have many versions to choose from that keeps them in mass confusion. They're focusing on the King Donald version at this time.


KY........

[7wo7rees]

32. Oh my gosh. Just read this and burst into laughter!

7wo7rees was astounded. He's not heard me laugh in such delight in a long while. I showed him and he said I had to let you know!

Follow you always, but boy, did you outdo yourself on this one!! Kudos!!
