A big thank you to all the redneck persons out there on flickr that keep providing me with good blog material. You guys never let me down :)
Check out this week's winner.
He goes by the flickr name of Proudly in Alabama and SAVED by the Lord's grace!
He comments on this photo of mine from 2007-08-02
I will post a screen shot of his comments below (click to embiggen)
So let me quote him:
First thing he says is:
After seeing that stinger, it's going to be about a week before I can sleep again.
You could hit bone with that thing!
Fair enough. I come back at him with:
Yeah well, They are very aggressive if handled. Looking back I really should have just left it alone. At the time though I didn't want to risk it getting in the house for my (then) 2 year old to pick it up so this thing had to go.
They have them down in your neck of the woods too so watch out for them. I live by a philosophy now that if they dont pose a threat to you -they should be just left alone. After reading about how rare these things are I regret killing it. They are rare. I have only seen 4 in a 15 year time span. Granted most of that time I was not living in the south.
He then replies:
Look son, I don't know what hippie kool-aid you've been drinking, but -- THE RARER THE BETTER, extinct would be preferable. Short of these things holding the cure for cancer (which they don't), keeping them around serves only as one more source of a horrific death for innocent and unsuspecting babies and children, the elderly, and the anaphylactically allergic.
Traditional American philosophy is: if it doesn't serve a clear and important purpose which benefits the human race, a benefit which only it can provide us -- and if, on top of that, it kills or creates damage or pain -- then TO HELL WITH IT, IT'S A BUG FOR PETE'S SAKE!
And I agree.
I LMAO and then type out:
@Proudly in Alabama and SAVED by the Lord's grace!
Firstly, you aren't my dad.
Hahaha you really make me laugh dude. How do you know for sure they don't hold the cure for cancer? Also I would like to dispel the rumor that these velvet ants kill, -they don't. They produce a very painful sting. But they do not kill. MAYBE someone who is allergic, but really its a rare thing. It seems (and I am totally making an assumption here) that you are they type of person who would kill something just to kill it. Do you like to hit deer in the road just to kill it and take its antlers as some sort of redneck trophy? Again I am making assumptions here and I do apologize if I am wrong but I have seen real rednecks here in Tennessee do such a thing.
I suspect that your feeling of importance of the human species above all other creatures stems from your heavy Christian faith and how in the bible it says its ok to kill and torture animals for our own means.
Lastly, what do you agree with?
Thanks for keeping the subject alive. Great to have your comments man.
I mean holy shit, look at his flickr profile and tell me if you think this guy and me would disagree on just a few things.
I believe in the OLD-FASHIONED, FIRE-AND-BRIMSTONE, SOUTHERN, KING JAMES BIBLE-BELIEVING, "OLD TIME RELIGION"!

Complete this sentence: "If I were to die tonight, my soul would be in H______ tomorrow morning".
"A Bible that's falling apart usually belongs to someone who isn't."
"There is an appointment that all men will keep" (with God upon death); what will be seen there with you that day?

I am a worthless sinner, undeserving of the crucifixion and bodily death of Jesus Christ, but by the GRACE of THE LORD GOD ALMIGHTY, it was done and I am SAVED and my sins are under the BLOOD at CALVARY and I am HEAVEN-BOUND! THANK YOU LORD for MAKING A WAY for me by sending your sole Son to die for my sins at Calvary! My sin-debt has been paid! It's only by YOUR WONDERFUL GRACE that I'm saved!
I am from a RURAL part of the Deep SOUTH, where there's still a trace of DECENCY left in most white people.

This is a LOST and DYING world FULL OF SIN -- murder, liberalism, rape, starvation, disease, sickness, death, love of darkness, hatred of light, selfishness, gluttony, anger, perversion, molestation, addiction, pain, shallowness, deceit, prostitution, ALCOHOL, drugs, poverty, greed, self-indulgence, dictators, humanism, hedonism, atheism, evolutionism, homosexuality, corruption, interracial marriage, etc. -- and it's not my home, I'm just A-PASSIN' THROUGH, HALLELUJAH! How tragic it would be if this Earth were all there was!
God SPECIFICALLY said not to be deceived by what the liberals are saying: homosexuals, alcohol drinkers, non-Christians, etc., will NOT be getting into Heaven the way liberals say they will - {1 CORINTHIANS 6:9-10}
There is only ONE way to HEAVEN, and that is through the shed BLOOD of JESUS CHRIST {JOHN 14:6}. You can be SAVED only through His GRACE, not your own works (what kind of 'loving' god would send his only son to die a horrific death if there was any other way?) - you're a sinner and thus you fall FAR short of the Grace and Glory of God {ROMANS 3:23}, and are UTTERLY incapable of paying the debt of sin you've racked up. You can't earn a ticket into Heaven by doing nice things for people or having your heart in the right place {EPHESIANS 2:9} - you NEED Jesus! You need to TURN from your SIN, REPENT, BELIEVE on His name, and ask GOD to SAVE YOU so that you can be BORN AGAIN into the SPIRIT and filled with the HOLY GHOST and go the HEAVEN instead of HELL! READ THE BIBLE!!! -- it's God's word, and this is EXACTLY WHAT IT SAYS!...and that's how it USED to be preached all over this land, the GOOD OLD-FASHIONED FIRE and BRIMSTONE way! {REVELATION 21:8}
*
There are NO CONTRADICTIONS in the Bible! It is the infallible, inerrant, all-sufficient, inspired WORD OF GOD - and it is to be taken LITERALLY, as PERFECT GOD WROTE IT, not as sinful man wishes it were! I believe the WHOLE BIBLE, exactly as written, with NO APOLOGIES TO "SCIENCE" -- and no, there are no problems with eating shellfish and also shunning homosexuality, ignorant liberals!
*
Jesus created an INDEPENDENT church, each local church UNAFFILIATED and UNASSOCIATED with any sort of man-made larger organizational body -- hence I am an INDEPENDENT FUNDAMENTAL BAPTIST. If your church is affiliated with ANY sort of organization or association -- be it the Southern Baptist Convention, the United Methodist Church, the Presbyterian Church in America, the Roman Catholic Church, the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America, whatever it may be -- you are in a BIBLE-DENYING, LIBERAL CHURCH. Churches: if an association has you on their rolls, Jesus doesn't have you on His!
Most people who self-identify as "Christian" aren't, no matter how loud they may insist -- "SAYIN' IT DON'T MAKE IT SO!" -- the BIBLE shows the standard of who's a Christian!
*
We the SAVED are on a MISSION to preach to the impenitent lost, to convert all the atheists and pagans and hippies and vegetarians and Moslems and Jews and Catholics and Mormons and other unsaved (why? Because we CARE about the fate of their eternal, everlasting souls and thus don't want to see them end up in HELL FOREVER because they died without Christ's blood covering their sins - the Jesus of the Bible said that through Him is the ONLY way to Heaven {JOHN 14:6}), to stamp out homosexuality {LEVITICUS 20:13} and feminism {1 TIMOTHY 2:11-12} and all other forms of Bible-denying liberalism, and to reclaim America for Christ and hold the people of this secular liberal land to God's STANDARDS and COMMANDMENTS. These God-hating liberals will get their due - JUDGMENT awaits, and it will be a TERRIBLE DAY when the TRUMPET OF THE LORD SHALL SOUND!!!
HELL is NEVER-ENDING TORTURE and suffering and death; it's a DEMONIC place -- and it's where YOU'LL SEND YOURSELF by and for your SIN if you refuse CHRIST before it's eternally TOO LATE! Do you want to PERISH IN AGONY...or not? Christ died for YOU!
TURN from your sins or BURN in hell for FOREVER, UNSAVED SINNER! YOUR CHOICE, so choose LIFE over DEATH!
My YouTube channel
I live in the Deep South, in the most deeply conservative, old-fashioned, fundamentalist Baptist state in the union - whose very name strikes fear in the hearts of liberals: ALABAMA ... where freedom still matters!
Endless material -these Christian fundamentalists provide.
