Judges 10:4
He had thirty sons, who rode thirty donkeys.

Can’t Bring Yourself to Type the Word “Ass”?
Eager to share our brilliant political commentary and blunt media criticism, but too genteel to link to horsesass.org? Well, good news, ladies: we also answer to HASeattle.com, because, you know, whatever. You're welcome!
You could say they were bros before hee-hoes.
I can’t help but notice that ever since Goldy found a billionaire’s teat to suck on, all he does with HA anymore is try to generate reader ridicule of Christianity while permitting the batshit crazy loon to litter HA threads with hate speech and eliminationist rhetoric.
@2 Did Goldy do all that? My, my. And I suppose he’s forcing you to be here, too.
Force me to be here? What are you, a dunce? Oh, yeah, my bad.
If you believe I have to march lock-step with everything that goes on here, then you can go fuck yourself.
At least I know I’m stupid. That makes me a hell of a lot smarter than some people. And from my perspective, the people I see ridiculing Christianity are all the priests, pastors and preachers that are going to jail for raping children. And there’s plenty of them, too. I can’t even imagine the number of them we don’t know about. But there’s a saying, if you see one rat, there’s fifty you don’t see. One more thing. I don’t care what you do.
Look, I’m sorry I got upset with you. You seem a decent fellow.
There are plenty of Christians around who give Christianity a bad name, our loon being one of them. But there are many Christians who actually follow the teachings of Christ, reject Mosaic law, as did Christ (who will throw the first stone?) and are very good people.
I take exception to these posts because they encourage and elicit broad brush criticism and ridicule of all Christians, including those who are very progressive and liberal in their views.
We’re all independent thinkers here.
Well, lookee here, Charles Koch says Bill Clinton was better than Dubya, and all but endorsed Hillary over Trump. Then Hillary told him to shove it. Good for her!

Apology accepted. Think nothing of it. You are right. There are decent people of all faiths and no faiths at all.
Roger Rabbit’s computer died, so I won’t be here for a couple days. I’m using a library computer right now. Hope to be back inflicting justice on traitor trolls by midweek.
Hey those were thirty ass colts. A judge had to have a way to control thirty cities. Of course in a real crises he could always call in the man with no name. Must have done a pretty good job as he was the judge over Israel for 22 years. Of course we have county judges who are easily around that long or longer. Their sons probably drive something with a combustion engine that puts out more power than thirty ass colts. And nowadays we even have women judges. God we have come a long way.
@8 Don’t suppose he has a transcript of those speeches she made.
Unfortunately candidates don’t get to choose their supporters. The Koch’s are going to support candidates who are going to act in ways that advance them and their issues. The Koch’s do not always live up to folks expectations. There are areas that progressives can work with them.
Hillary you are looking hot to a couple of rich old studs, way to go girl!
@10 Thank you RR. At least we will know no one has picked you up and fed you an petted you and taken you home and named you George.
Thank goodness for the public library. A very progressive and liberal idea. HURRAH!
I bet Sarah Palin could ride thirty donkeys.
Steve is right but it is fun to call every Republican ignorant! Hahaha.
@ 14
I’ll bet she’s ridden more than that.
Deuteronomy 13:12-18
12 “When you begin living in the towns the Lord your God is giving you, you may hear
13 that scoundrels among you are leading their fellow citizens astray by saying, ‘Let us go worship other gods’-gods you have not known before.
14 In such cases, you must examine the facts carefully. If you find that the report is true and such a detestable act has been committed among you,
15 you must attack that town and completely destroy[a] all its inhabitants, as well as all the livestock.
16 Then you must pile all the plunder in the middle of the open square and burn it. Burn the entire town as a burnt offering to the Lord your God. That town must remain a ruin forever; it may never be rebuilt.
17 Keep none of the plunder that has been set apart for destruction. Then the Lord will turn from his fierce anger and be merciful to you. He will have compassion on you and make you a large nation, just as he swore to your ancestors.
18 “The Lord your God will be merciful only if you listen to his voice and keep all his commands that I am giving you today, doing what pleases him.
It isn’t Sharia Law if we just call it Mosaic Law instead.
Or is the real lesson here that killing people makes you fat?
@16 you are right. Don’t blame you for not taking my bet. Especially because I wouldn’t take your bet. You would win.
@14 If she has been to the Grand Canyon thirty times and has taken the rode down (highly recommended as opposed to walking) maybe she has ridden thirty donkeys.
@17 Obviously this rarely happened at all or never happened.
Though the Romans did demonstrate how to do this properly at Carthage and were much more honest about the why, and only attributed it to God a little bit.
People do some horrible things in the name of the Lord. Then god fearing people wonder why the savages wipe out Custer and all his men, and then amazingly there is Wounded Knee. At least some god fearing people got sick to their stomachs. Still gotta stop that ghost dance as it ain’t the proper religion. It’s likely not all the braves were taking it all that seriously, and more likely more interested in young women.
PUPLE RAIN! PURPLE RAIN!
@17 The dead probably don’t care anymore whether they were beheaded by Jihadists or stoned to death at the gates of the city by extremist right-wing Christians.
“it is fun to call every Republican ignorant!”
It certainly is!
@6
Um… Matthew 5:17-20: “Think not that I am come to destroy the law, or the prophets: I am not come to destroy, but to fulfill…”
“Um… Matthew 5:17-20: “Think not that I am come to destroy the law, or the prophets: I am not come to destroy, but to fulfill…””
Um… Goldy, with that, many Christians believe Jesus IS the law. Not that all Christian faiths buy into that, obviously. And there are various spins on it. Here’s one.
“He did not destroy the Old Testament. But that doesn’t mean that Christians have to keep circumcision and all the other old laws. Jesus’ ministry caused many changes in the law — changes so dramatic that laws were “set aside” or declared “obsolete” (Hebrews 7:18; 8:13). Some laws remained the same, some were changed, and others were “abolished” (Ephesians 2:15).”

Those Christians itching to throw the first stone obviously don’t buy into it, like those today who advocate for the execution of gays, presumably by stoning them to death at the gates of the city.
Glad to help you understand a little better the Christian religions which you hope to see ridiculed by your readers.
@22 It’s not that they don’t care it’s just they care so little. After all they are the Grateful Dead, and they have Jerry Garcia and are waiting for the rest of the group munching on ice cream from Ben and Jerry’s.
They even have groupies and web apps. They recommend the living try acid.
@24 What that revolutionary who upturned the tables in the temple. Went out on Sunday and picked fruit and corn. Made fun of the Pharisees, Good politician that he was rode an ass (wild colt, donkey) into Jerusalem. Predicting the temple (is it a prediction when written afterwards?) would be destroyed,
Could Matthew be some spin in here for his audience?
Did he live by all the Jewish laws or not. Seems not is the answer.
If he could have just been anti Roman but alas that was left to others and they did not fare too well those zealots were dealt with. Even though 1/3 of the empire was Jewish the Jewish religion was not popular, and didn’t get the run of luck Christians did.
Worse the official church of the empire could not be truthful and acknowledge the Roman’s killed Christ that was politically difficult so another group had to be blamed. Yep the Jews, and they became pariahs in lands they had inhabited for 500 to 1000 years.
I’m sure this has something to do with Christians celebrating Passover on a totally different day than what Jews celebrate Passover. You don’t suppose this whole crucifixion thing was an accident because of the fasting. If it had been after the fast maybe cooler heads may have prevailed.
So will the real Jesus please stand up.
Dancing like it’s 1999.
