98 Curses from God. Order Early and Save.

The LORD will smite thee in the knees, and in the legs, with a sore boil, whereof thou canst not be healed, from the sole of thy foot unto the crown of thy head.

Everybody has a favourite part of the bible. My favourite part is when God issues a slate of horrible curses.

Deuteronomy Chapter 28:15 But it shall come to pass, if thou wilt not hearken unto the voice of the LORD thy God, to observe to do all His commandments and His statutes which I command thee this day; that all these curses shall come upon thee, and overtake thee.

Here comes some fun. Let us imbibe each curse and enjoy! Remember that this is a God concept that will harm you if you don’t do what It tells you to. I am not sure how that it fits in with modern motivational theory, but it sure is scary. When something is scary like this you either fall in line like an obedient slave or you run hard in the other direction. Another thing you might do is dismiss it all as pure nonsense.

God curses his people

They ate the wrong food so they were cursed.

69 These are the words of the covenant which the LORD commanded Moses to make with the children of Israel in the land of Moab, beside the covenant which He made with them in Horeb. Have a WONDERFUL DAY!

Rabbi Emmanuel Rabinovich at a seance

african negroidIt is dangerous to mention the Negroid racial category. It must be made clear that the breakup of a relationship was possibly rooted in a reckless but positive discussion of members of this race at an Ethiopian restaurant last Saturday night.

As has already been said, Negroid is a racial category – one of the three “great races” – divided again into subtypes by the Caucasoid and the Mongoloid races. Populations included in the category in the 19th century and early 20th century were the black people of sub-Saharan Africa, the Australian Aboriginals, the Melanesian and Negrito. During the 1950s, the Australian Aborigines, the Negritos, and the Melanesians, as well as the Papuans (the inhabitants of New Guinea) were referred to as the Australoid race.

The concept originated with the typological method of racial classification and is still used by many anthropologists, especially physical anthropologists working in the forensic field of craniofacial anthropometry.

Thanks for all the convoluted Wikipedia content on the Negroid but what about Caucasians? Can we talk about them at McDonald’s? Will talk of this race possibly break up a relationship?

Skin Stripped from this Caucassian in order to avoid offending those of a darker skin tone!

Blumenbach_beautiful_Georgian_skullIn scientific racism, the term Caucasian race (or Caucasoid, sometimes also Europid, or Europoid) has been used to denote the general physical type of some or all of the indigenous human populations of Europe, North Africa, the Horn of Africa, West Asia, Central Asia, and South Asia.

In common use in American English, the term “Caucasian” (rarely supplemented with “race”) is sometimes restricted to Europeans and other lighter-skinned populations within these areas, and may be considered equivalent to the varying definitions of white people. The term continues to be widely used in many scientific and general contexts, usually with its more restricted sense of “white”, specifically White American in a US context.

What does that have to do with Rabbi Rabinovich attending a seance?

seance circleRabbi Rabinovich is an authentic fictitious character created by anti-semites, Even so, it is very rare for a Rabbi to attend a seance.

The seance involved a meeting of people who gathered to listen to a spirit medium discourse with and relay messages from the spirit of a dead relationship. Rabbi Rabinovich is always interested in helping couple get together even when they don’t want to. A little known fact about relationships is that they often break up. Sometimes the break up is mutually decided upon. Other times the break up is initiated by one of the partners usually under false pretenses to supposedly cushion the blow to the other party. Often the person who initiates the break up will do so because they have no real interest in being in a long term relationship and find a “reason” to break up to assuage their conscience.

Mud happens. Rabbi Rabinovich is as fictional as this relationship was.

There are more members of the Negroid racial category in the National Basketball Association. That is verifiable. It is not fiction.

Just a little joke before I end: A young blind boy is being tucked into bed by his mother. The mom says “Now Billy, pray really hard tonight and tomorrow, your wish will come true!”. Billy says, “Ok mommy.” and goes to sleep. The next morning, Billy wakes up and screams “MOMMY! I’m still blind, my wish didn’t come true!“, the mom answered, “I know – April Fools!

Rose Rabbinovich had no comment.

I still haven’t found what I’m writing for

We have spoken of mud and in an upcoming post we shall be addressing racial categories. At this time the writing involves reporting on these things.

We will speak about the National Basketball Association and the secret white supremacists of Belleville. What a great time to be alive.

Sitting alone or with friends, one cannot deny that thirst to express. The expression of writing. That is what we are writing about. Mud.

Here is a link to Aish HaTorah and one to the Seventh Day Adventists. Check these sites out. They are fab!

By the way, a Seventh Day Adventist named Kelly told me about how cruel God was to those that do not follow his orders. She described Hell in graphic detail. I was 5 years old. It was cool because it happened according to God’s will. I am still freaked out about it 45 years later!

After a break up, what happens to mutual friends

muddy waterFirst you have to understand my view which is that almost everybody is only semiconscious and to a great degree selfish and mostly self interested.

Relationships are worth nothing without a mutual commitment to growth. But when friends try to deal with a breakup they usually make things worse. They don’t always know what to do so they generally take the easy way out.

More mud… Emotions and egoistic thinking muddy a break up and lead to unclear waters.

Why write when there is nothing to write about? Except mud…

A mild commitment to writing a post every week I guess.

Oh I do have something to write about but why should I drag a body through the mud?

Fun
We had
But now I am a racist
According to a fascist
Mud, mud, mud
