The Salvation Army says it refuses to distribute Harry Potter and Twilight toys collected for needy children because they're incompatible with the charity's Christian beliefs.
The policy has alarmed a Calgarian who volunteered to sift through a southeast warehouse full of unused, donated items and was alarmed when he was told by Salvation Army officials that the two kinds of toys are "disposed of" and not given to other charities.
"I asked if these toys went to another charitable organizations but was told no, that by passing these toys on to another agency for distribution would be supporting these toys," said the man, who wouldn't give his name due to his occupation.
Salvation Fucking Army.

Did I really need one more reason to believe that ever member of the salvation army should be tortured to death?

A book is a version of the world. If you do not like it, ignore it; or offer your own version in return.

You talk to God, you're religious. God talks to you, you're psychotic.

Who needs a meaning anyway, I'd settle anyday for a very fine view.

This is the wrong forum for bluffing

Yes, yes. But first I need to show you this venomous fish!

I think we should do whatever Pawiz wants.

I've seen more instances of grinchitude among xtians than any other group this year.
If I give money on the street, it's always to a homeless person.

2 things spring to mind: firstly I'M STILL NOT SORRY 
Secondly how much more trouble I would have been in if they had known both the dog and I pissed in that pail too .
Give me the wine , I don't need the bread

Same here. I once saw someone handing out socks to the homeless. It seemed to go over quite well.maiforpeace wrote:Ding fucking dong.

What I've found with a few discussions I've had lately is this self-satisfaction that people express with their proffessed open mindedness. In realty it ammounts to wilful ignorance and intellectual cowardice as they are choosing to not form any sort of opinion on a particular topic. Basically "I don't know and I'm not going to look at any evidence because I'm quite happy on this fence."

Re: Salvation Fucking Army.
This is fantastic news! I did not know they were quite so bigoted! I NEVER get the opportunity to be rude to religious people but I'm sure to get a bucket waggled under my nose by a Salvation Army collector sooner or later what with it being the season of giving and all that 
They have a church down the road.
