just a thought
lets think of throwing every English word into a pot, shaking it around a pulling 2 words out of that pot.. randomly and say you pull out the word god and the word hardcore. and the second time you pull out one more un politically correct set of the word jesus and the word sick.
but in real life do you think this is the case? do we all either trained from childhood or due to world wide social patterns AVOID using the English language to its fullest to express whats really on our minds?
am I the only one who feels a slight backround pressure, is it all for the best of things? make sense to any one?

sorry for da flood but to clearify.
moses or whoever went up that hill for 2 weeks and saw a burning bush and god, cos was druged out of his mind on hallucinogens, dehidrated and starving, would upset some people but makes sence to me.
Communication works best when it is functional. Language is just a tool for that, and all we can do is use it as best we can. Nothing wrong, per say, with social conventions that constrain how you use that tool. But of course, it is always important to remain aware of whether these conventions help or hinder you.
In other words, when it comes to language, my adagium would be "If you have to break the rules to get your message across, by all means, break the rules, that's what they are there for"
Would be great party conversation if there are enough Christians literalists around, heheh.
Rule breakers! Just thinking about what language is, is an awaking.
Hi, it's me god, whata ya mean I ain't god, what ain't god, where'd ya get that idea? What, it's in the dictionary, "g-o-d", you say. Well fuck that dictionary in that regard. Let me see that dictionary. Look, god is glue, and that's not even in this book .... Seems the rest of them definitions are much better, so not a bad book. See?, I am glue, I meant god, .... oh boy, we need more words, or do we? ....
Atheism Books.
Well, the English language, iirc, has about 40000 words in its common idiom. Dutch only has 30000 and French has to make do with a mere 20000.
As a "near-native", semi-fluent speaker of the English language, I am supposed to be about as proficient with it as a 9-year old English schoolchild, and know about 4000 words...
So kindly wait with adding more until I have bridged that 36000 word gap, will you
Most kindly I will .... I am working a bit on it too .... if you can call it work !
