Lift. FUCK! Well, thank God the song's lyrics are already atrocious. Not much to fuck up there.

The toxic Christians deserve our ridicule. Let's see how many people we can get to show up at this lame baptism ceremony to ruin it for the idiot gentiles.

L'shanah tovah! Don't forget Rosh Hashana II and Shabbat Shuva this weekend. Can anyone suggest interesting alternative Shabbat Shuva?

who cares - isn't this kinda obsessive?
zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

FYI, all churches are doing this ALL the time, everywhere.

Some of the guys do look really good in wet pants, religious fervor = hard ons ... Jesus is most likely staring a bit.

I have it on good authority that I'm on Mark Driscoll's personal prayer list. He's prayin' for my eternal salvation!!

@4 NO, NOT all churches are doing this all the time. Mass baptisms are not actually a common occurrence in the Northwest.

To the wacked out Jew above - how many foreskins in your jar so far?

That collection could go for big money at HUMP ... the rest of your jabber is silly ... early drunken stupor on Friday?

I am with Freddy - common place if you are paying attention at all.

Who cares ... and my taste if for the wet shirt and titties.

FYI circumcision is healthy and saves lives. Gentiles cannot have bris or brit milah the sacred ceremony given to Jewish males, but the goyium need to have their foreskin's cut.

It is anti-semitic to make fun of Jewish circumcision because it is a fundamental part of being a Jewish male.

@9 "Circumcision saves lives." Can I get a t-shirt that says this?

Wait, so Randy Bean worked with Bill Moyers...? Does that mean she's a Democrat?

If so, we have a modern day odd-couple on our hands.

I SMELL A SITCOM!

Goddammit. Wrong thread. Sorry.

Making fun of Christians is Tikkum Olam, our sacred duty in bringing tzedek to the world. Christian baptism is meaningless nonsense.

But Judaism is a sacred religion that should be respected. All Jewish rituals were brought to us by God. Even though I'm an atheist I respect the rituals of Judaism because I believe that God gave them to the Jewish people.

They won't be able to put one toe in the water at Alki without screaming "AAAAHHHHH, MOTHERFUCKER THAT'S COLD!!!!"

And Jesus will agree; Pneumonia is on the way.

These idiot Christians are going to freeze their balls off! I hope someone gets hypothermia and has to go to the hospital. It'd be great to read "Frozen Christian convert rescued from Alkai!".

Anyone know an alternative Rosh Hashanah
gathering on Capital Hill tonight? Happy Jewish New Year!

They choose days like today so the horrid cold rush blasts their heads. This has been proven to be effective in many cases of brainwashing. They will feel replenished with His eternal bliss. Though, in reality, they just dunked themselves in cold fucking water on a semi-somewhat cold fucking day - and they're morons.

Just remember that you have to hold the baptisee's head under water for at LEAST two minutes, otherwise their soul isn't saved completely.

2 Mins Minimum! Spread the WORD.

LOL! Yeah hold their idiot Christian heads under water like two minutes maybe it'll soak some sense into them.

Judaism has no ridiculous baptism ritual, we have the sacred mikvah. For more than 3,500 years, observant Jewish women have been making monthly trips to a ritual bath called the mikvah. But in recent years, the mikvah has been making something of a comeback, as even the most feminist Jews are reinventing the ritual for the 21st century.

Mikvah is a sacred religious ceremony of Judaism. Christian baptism is idiots spashing in water thinking it washes them for God.

Does anyone know of an alternative mikvah place in Seattle? I'd like to tell my girlfriend about it. Happy Jewish New Year!

@17

Let's make it five minutes. We really, really want to save these people. Don't we? Hmm?

Why is it ok to blast Christian rituals but completely wrong to blast any other religion?

It's complete hypocrisy.

Would you blast Islamic rituals? New Age rituals? Obviously, never Jewish rituals because so many of these comments are defending circumcision and mikvah.

I know its easy to hate Christians especially in such a liberal city as Seattle but is it PC to do so?

I don't think its right.

@20

I agree, a quick find>replace "Christian" with "Islamic" makes these people sound like a bunch of southern racist hicks.

The Stranger is anti-Christian. Get over it! There has to be one paper in town defending Judaism and many of The Strangers writers are Jews themselves. The Stranger was the only paper in town to demand a Menorah be placed in Sea-Tac last winter. Tikkum Olam.

It's not hypocritical to attack Christian rituals because they are fake and mean nothing. Christianity is a toxic cult for idiots.

Judaism is a treasure for the whole world, and its religion, philosophy and culture are the divine sparks of light that illuminate the dark lives of the goyium.

Circumcision and mikvah are completely different because God gave these rituals to Jews. Christian rituals are just made up nonsense.

I'll blast any religion. Any.

@20... I frequently "blast" New Age rituals. And Islamic rituals, for that matter. The ridiculous OUGHT to be "blasted".

I saw on the news that this was cancelled because there was a baby seal hangin' out on the beach.

Hooray for baby seals!

Posted by Explorer | September 14, 2007 5:17 PM

Actually it was not cancelled. The baby seal moved off the beach. At least a thousand people showed up (some say three thousand) and 222 people were baptized.

222 more idiots in the world who believe toxic Christianity. It makes me sick. Christian Baptism means nothing, it's a delusion.

Mikvah(Judaism's ritual bath) is deeply meaningful for Jews because it's based on the truth of Torah. Does anyone know of an alternative mikvah place in Seattle? I'd like to tell my girlfriend about it. Happy Rosh Hashanah! Jewish New Year is this week!
