Why not sleep-in?

Let's face the fact that, after work and keep the house clean during the week, fixing what ever may need it on your weekend, mass can feel like just another chore some times. You spend all your time not sleeping well because there is so much that has to be done. Give up most of that thing known as fun for others. Loose weight due to skipping a 'couple' meals to run errants. Listen to how your spouse want to get this done, or make that happen. The kid(s) allows want help, or need you to do something. Your boss wants you to work longer and more random shifts because so-&-so is not here, what her name is having a kid, and whoever they were had to stay at home due to the flu. Every single person/item needs you to work on what has to be done. Then after all that struggle you have to get up early, maybe not even get to sleep, groom yourself in 'Sunday's best', and get to mass before working on everything everyone has planned for you. Then as you drive to church, it hits you, a thought which you never saw forming.

"Why the hell did I have to get up? Can't I get one break?"

That's right, you now turn the Sabbath into Monday morning. Is this your fault? No, you're tired and over worked. For most people it is hard to think on God when there is to many demands being made from them. They want to see God as a loving figure which cares about their well-being, not just another guy with a job for you to due. Then you think everyone would be ashamed of you for that, so you stay quiet. You keep on doing the same day-to-day and just tell your self it has to be done. Which makes it more of a chore as you try to fool your self into 'getting the job done'. Then after a while you stop pray and just stand there head bowed, wait to get the job finished. Stupid as this sounds, people are loosing faith, not even realizing they are. After a year, your on church is just a building with people you have to impress. Stop denying it, you're lost in a rut.

What do you due to stop this? Take a hit for your faith, sin and sleep-in. Get a little down time and thank God you have that chance. Don't stop going completely! Just take a Sunday every few months when it starts to feel not like a Mass and more like a bunch of people. Don't going trying to repent and plead for forgiveness either. You know you're not sorry. Just think of God when you do this, say a prayer about how much this time means to you and how great God is to give it to you. Keeping God in your heart and mind is worth the priest asking where you were last Sunday.

IR writes the rants?

IR has stated that he rights his own material. He states he is a ignorant, no charm, simple minded redneck. After reading IR's dribble, and viewing the comments of followers, I doubt this. Maybe he does write it all but, with such knowledge and word play, would you real by that? Does a person, with so much to due in the ways of manual labor, really have the time to edit, review, post, and comment to the IR fans sound real? I would say he has enough fools to aid with the burden of being IR. Sure, you could hope not but, you know it is true. Enough now he could be having a contact write up a new post. What else could a 'ignorant redneck' in the computer age be doing? How many due you think are following him in the shadows, not posting, just looking for key word to decode, or the once in a while E-mail to their cell phone? I think we should remember that most charismatic leaders with fanatic views can cause riots, assassinations, and mass genocide. I warn all non-Catholics to be warey.

What is IR planning?

If you keep up with the current info on IR, you notice a few odd things. Such as comments made in his post that are strange. Here are a few such comments from IR's posts:

"June 12-14"/"will be considering the 'final phase' "/"Will I still be ashamed of"/"leadership that I want"/"holed up in a small cottage in the forest"

What could this 'final phase' be? Who is he leading? Will they have punch? I say that those are the words of one soon to start a witchhunt, only instead of old women, IR will be burning something else.

Legal Weed: Why not, it could be the new tobacco, right?

People in the U.S. smoke to much of this stuff already. Which means that they will pay out the nose for it, even if they don't want to. Legalize only special licenced individuals to grow, harvest, and sell the drug. Making the product cheap, easy to get, and of less quality. Add in the tax on such a product and you have a new way to keep the state going in school, welfare, and tax break funds. Then we could ban tobacco, which IR loves so much, and see if cancer patients stop popping up.

Gay Priest Don't Have The Numbers To Be A Problem

IR thinks that because, "that the rate of sexual offenders for the priesthood was just about half that of the population at large.", no one should care children are being molested. Considering the difference in numbers, half the total population is that big a deal, though in the smaller numbers of the Church population, these numbers take on the faces of those closes to the victims. Should we really turn a blind eye to a organization that would hide such sexual predators from the law? We have watch them due so before, like with the flame ex-Cardinal of Chicago, Bernadine. If a Church is willing to allow this, then deny, and hide such events, what else would it do? Due you really won't Tiny Tim to learn the birds-and-the-bees from the same man who baptized him? IR thinks it won't happen because he says so. Are you OK because of sugar pills if you have cancer?! No! You are as sick as before.

IR is aloud to own a gun?!

What the hell is wrong with his family? Don't they see he is a mentally disturbed man, one soked in booze at that? No, not his dimwitted, faith loving, relatives. As long as he is a zealot, he can shoot the pagans, just like a good little witch-hunter. Of all the people to least likely deserve a gun, Channey should get one before that fool.

Abortion: Why not allow kids the choice?

Like the twelve to seventeen year old should have to give up life for one mistake. Not to mention rape victoms. Would it really be better to have no option, as IR would like it to be? Would that stop anything? No. Just save a bunch of unwanted cells from being removed. Father's little girl shouldn't have to give birth to her brother.

Welcome IR Haters

Since this is your first time here, I'll explain why, how, and not much. This is a blog to those which hate IR. First, I don't care what you think, IR is wrong. I know that many of you believe the rants of a old drunk of a zealot. For you, stop reading this, I will rarely post your comments, as they are dribble which is in support of IR. Next, this the place to talk about how IR is wrong. I will be checking his blog, view topics of debate, and posting topics asking what the REAL answer to IR's opinion is. Random outcries of hate at the persecution of IR may be placed here, along with discussion topics that will upset IR.
