He did offer us a rope. I think it had a noose at the end.

A convicted dope dealer whose looking to expand his customer base talking about delusion and mental health. That's a good one! I think I'll be grinning in amusement the rest of the evening. :-)

Is it possible that Bob Ellis is a closet Muslim? He hates anyone that drinks. He hates anyone that uses drugs of any kind. He wants to control all women's minds and their bodies. And he would like to destroy every other religion that doesn’t believe the same way he does.

Sorry about that I just wasn’t thinking. Its fundamentalist Christianity not fundamentalist Muslim. Never Mind.

Ellis is a Calvinist Protestant, Bill, able to reconcile American capitalism with his misanthropic view of the human race as he 'prooftexts' just the gospels that suit his nefarious agenda to enable his self-loathing.

Although it's to tell sometimes, if you look a little closer you might discover SDWC running in a completel different direction.

Can you imagine anyone else taking the abuse he takes here and still sticking around? Only thing I can figure is he knows he's bad and we give the best beatings.

Or else they delete him when he shows up elsewhere.

The fact that Bob will be "grinning in amusement for the rest of the evening" proves the theory that small minds are easily amused.
