Every time I see some Internet moron confidently declare that a joke was “offensive” and “not funny”—and that the fact that it was just a joke does not matter—I want to punch a wall. Sometimes I even want to do something more destructive,

“As Ellena Mayer talked about how everyone had mistreated her and discriminated against her for being a woman and a talented genetic designer, I classed her as the type of woman who doesn’t understand everyone who is unusually brilliant is “discriminated against” for the simple fact of being different from the common herd, and therefore both resented, and suspicious.”

“The great success of our strategy can be seen in Daniel Southerland’s sincere conviction that members who object to a Performance Driven transition are just like Sanballat. They are enemies of the Enemy, and should be driven from the community. To our great advantage many of these are former leaders, or elderly servants of the Enemy who might never find another church to which they can belong and are thus effectively sidelined from the battle.”

“I constantly warn my assistants to guard against worship environments in which people can hear the voices of other audience members. That is why one of the most wonderful achievements of our time is the combination of sophisticated instrumentation and voice amplification. We have elevated accompaniment to an art form, added attractive worship teams, and created a worship atmosphere in which no one need hear her own voice or that of her neighbor. The entire audience—for now it has become an audience, not a congregation—can now lip synch their praise, with confidence that our Enemy will hear, and approve of the worship being offered onstage.”

“As you know, real musicians (and the performers must keep reminding themselves that they are indeed real musicians) don’t like to play familiar songs repeatedly. They intensely dislike overused arrangements for hymns and praise songs; they need a challenge, and this means new songs added each week, songs that have ever more sophisticated arrangement and accompaniment. Over time fewer and fewer audience members are able to give voice to the songs.”
