So why do you call yourself "farter"?

"So why do you call yourself "farter"? "



Because I'm REALLY good at it.

Just what do you think is responsible for global warming?

This is something I was admittedly pleasently surprised to see.

I disagree. His argument on Slackware sites the fact that the Church of
the Subgenious is associated with Slackware in a few ways. I don't
think I need to quantify all the references to said "cult". He also
states that the CotSG is distinctly anti-religion. While I would not
personally say that (as I do not really know much about it) I do agree
that they are exhibit a sort of hostility towards all religions,
treating themselves as somewhat above anyone who believes differently.
This would not be unusual (after all, don't all religions basically
believe theirs is the only way to enlightenment/heaven/whatever?) but
for the fact that the CotSG seems to make fun of itself. In essence,
they come off sounding more like atheists than a real cult.

Agreed.

Indeed. For once, the silent level-headed majority of Christians has
pulled through here and spoken up. I myself am a Christian of the same
denomination as this parson, and I feel much the same way he does. The
difference I see is that the CotSG is not so much a cult as it is a
collection of (predominately) atheists; I don't put a lot of stock in
what they have to say. Some of their things are funny, and I enjoy
those (ddate being one of them), but in no way does their association
with Slackware give me any cause for concern. I use sendmail and *gasp*
it was written by some one who is openly homosexual. But qmail was
written by some one I find to be arrogant. I'm sure the developers of
exim and postfix have their own sins (as I myself do too). I'm not even
going to mention Exchange.

We live in a world where in you cannot (and I will argue should not)
restrict yourself entirely to people who believe exactly the same way
you do. In fact, I venture that if you ask a survey of every level-headed
person in the church I attend you will find they vary on their personal
beliefs, sometimes to a great deal.

I'm glad some one out there finally put into words what I've felt for a
long time concerning symbolic images like Beastie. I'm glad some one
has voiced concerns about the CotSG in a well-thought-out, logical, and
indeed, friendly way. And I'm glad it wasn't me, because I'd likely
have buggered the whole thing up.

Not toward the religions with $30.00 in
their hand.

The CoSG welcomes people from all faiths and religions as well as
athiests, homosexuals, chronic masturbators, Scientologists, Sufi
mystics, software programmers, skeptics, goatfuckers, Christ-killers,
Tantric Hindus, Zoroastrians, panthiests, pansexuals, panhandlers,
preachers and pizza delivery technicians -- as long as they send in
their $30.00 membership fee.

Fuck off, Hicks. You are a gutless little stooge and you are not
wanted.

Go away.

Somewhere I have a copy of some newsgroup articles from ages ago on the
subject Slackware is satanic. In the bad old days, Slackware used to
include three sample users, satan, gonzo and snake, as templates for new
linux administrators to use when setting up user accounts. This also
was the biggest security hole ever if you didn't remove the three users.
Anyway, satan, gonzo and snake started the rumors flying.

Has anyone in the whole wide world actually sent in their thirty dollars?

Nice, but I wish he wouldn't say daemon is Latin (it's Greek).
