EDIT: Although, I suppose, when you get right down to it, I am an atheist for Jesus, so I probably shouldn't make fun.

"It's just like the story of the grasshopper and the octopus. All year long, the grasshopper kept burying acorns for the winter, while the octopus mooched off his girlfriend and watched TV. But then the winter came, and the grasshopper died, and the octopus ate all his acorns. And also he got a racecar. Is any of this getting through to you?"

Athiests for Jesus? I can buy that actually. Many do not believe in Christ, but those same people respect His message and what He taught.

The next good joy that Mary had,
It was the joy of six;
To see her own Son Jesus Christ
Upon the Crucifix.
Upon the Crucifix, Good Lord;
And happy may we be;
Praise Father, Son, and Holy Ghost
To all eternity. | IsaacYankem

| #7 Posted on 8.4.03 1207.45 | Very amusing Vile1. My point was that the pro war people are getting the war that they so desperately want, so why have a demonstration in favor of it. People hold anti-war rallies because they are against the imperialism that is transpiring.

My best friend's roommate went to Montreal for a bachelor party about 2 weeks ago. They're at a... gentlemen's club when they're invited to hang with some rich looking guys who've apparently paid 4 girls to get right in front of them and... do whatever it is they do there.
These guys say to our protagonists, "Where are you guys from?" "Boston."
"Oh, you're Americans. Do you like Bush?"
They took this to mean, uh, are you enjoying the show? Naturally, an affirmative response. These guys then announced their Palestinian origin, their hatred of W, and proceeded to bust a chair over the best man's nose.
Sounds too dumb to be true, but I trust my best friend's telling of the events.

Please tell me this is a joke and that you are not this ignorant. Nobody I know who supports the war wanted this.

Well, Canada's not taking part in the Iraq action, so there, the pro-war protest does make sense, in terms of opposing the government.
Same as the anti-war protests in the US. You don't generally have to demonstrate in favour of the government.
Silence = Approval, or is at least percieved to.

Well there were massive groups of people in practically every country who did expressed thier objection to this war in no uncertain terms, so someone must have wanted a war pretty badly. Like defense contractors, maybe..

Well, the people who have driven by our demonstrations and shouted "Nuke the bastards", "Yea War" and "Fuck Iraq" seem to enjoy the war.
Also, here in America, we've been having a lot of pro-troop rallys, which I support. People both for and against the war should still be able to support the troops. Of course, these rallys seem to turn into anti-peace activist, pro-war rallys, but that's another story.
