Exmormon Coven Meeting Notes

[_Mercury]

We gather here on this month of Litha and enjoy a celebration. The Goddesses are dancing the maypole and this God of discord is laughing and drinking Port with a few of the more Bacchus-esque Gods are enjoying a good harvest. The Gods in embryo are away, playing in the sandbox. A sunglass-clad Hephaestus (or is it Agni?) lights the fire and Dusk falls. The goddesses have dispersed from the maypole and we bring out the sticks to have a good Midsummer nights eve. The other Gods not wishing to enjoy life are off in their great and spacious building clad in temple garb and being silly.



Pass me another Port!

You missed Litha by a month Mercury. I've already jumped the fire and danced around the maypole. ;)

You poor, pathetic trapped Mormon (ex-Mormon). Enjoy your Bacchus, and when you finally grow up you'll realise it's the curse of a civil society. You are re-inventing the wheel.

As if you're telling us anything new. Sip your Port and wait for the drunks to assault you and your family.

What a pathetic creature you are.

Hey Ray, why do you have such a strong reaction to alcohol?

[_Ray A]

Hey Ray, why do you have such a strong reaction to alcohol?

Barrell, I don't. I have a strong reaction to people who think alcohol = Utopia. You see, alcohol is the replacement for exmos "Holy Ghost".
They can deny the Holy Ghost, but they cannot deny a Bourbon!! LOL.

I am just a dumb taxi driver who has to deal with drunks every night, and I know what over-indulgence does to the brain. It basically F**** it. 90% of the problems in our society can safely be blamed on alcohol and drugs.

Now do I object to alcohol, per se? No. I object to adverstising it the way exmos do - as if it's the panacea for society, because they have finally discovered it, about 3 million years after everyone else knows what harm drunkenness does to our society. It leads to numerous ills. And these nitwits are advertising it as if it's something to be happy about. It's their way of "expressing freedom" from "Mormon oppression".

Frying pan in the fire kind of stuff.

So when they say, "pass me a brewski", they are actually making a feeble attempt at saying grace?

that's funny Ray, being that alcohol WAS the original holy ghost. The Kirtland temple dedication wouldn't have been the same!

Actually, no. 90% of the problems in our society can safely be blamed on the over-use and abuse of alcohol and illegal drugs (legal drug use benefits society in immeasurable ways. Millions would not alive without the use of drugs, myself included). The benefits of a glass of red wine, for example, are well known.

The drunkenness you see nightly is a result of the over-use and abuse of alcohol, and cannot be defended, but there is nothing sinister about a drinking a single glass of wine or single beer.

[_Mercury]

Ray, would you consider yourself an abuser of alcohol?

What month are we in?
