My girlfriend thinks I'm a stalker. Well...she's not my girlfriend "yet".

I discovered a new vitamin that fights cancer. I call it ...B9

I also invented a diet pill. It works great but had to quit taking it because of the side effects. Turns out my penis is larger and my hair grew back. And whoa! If you think my hair is nice!

When does size truly matter? When it's TOO big!

I'm currently working on a new pill I call "Destenze". However...now my shoes don't fit.

Yup, that was pretty goofy.
I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!

You do have to wonder what kind of god writes a magic book in a language it, presumably, knows will be long dead before 99% of the people who will ever believe in it will live.....and that only a fraction of those will ever actually read it's masterwork.

I'd say he's a masochist, but he did get himself nailed to that board... so that may not be so surprising.

And Jesus like Samuel (name of God) was the word of God and his name and light in the world, if you hate what morality in essence is and in essence what is always it's path (a leader appointed by God), you are outside the door of light and are just using it to deceive yourself or others or a combination.

You can't hide from the vision of God and he is what defines you.

Love . . . (any variety?) . . . is the definition of evil?  
Almost everyone acts on love, good and evil people alike.
There are conditions to make love meaningful otherwise chaotic unguided and unbalanced love is what evil always come down to and source of oppression to the oppressed.
It is what blinds people to the truth and makes them take side of falsehood, where they can't distinguish the worse of all people from the best.
Confused in this state, they become apathetic and self-centered, and self-deceiving in that they are good.
