Time to reclaim our FREEDOM from the “Mullah in Chief” and his growing activist voter hoards of socialists, communists, anti-Semites, anti-Christians, atheists, radical gays and lesbians, feminists, illegal immigrants, Muslims, anti-Anglo whites and others.

Dear Friend,
Hallmark-driven holidays like Valentine's Day stir up cheap emotion and mawkish sentiment. I myself was drive to write the below in my pre-Saved® days, to my eternal regret...
Yours in Him,
bab
The Teeny-Bop's Lament
In all the depths of time and space
In all the varied human race
Never has there been a guy
As deep and tortured as am I.
The black I wear is but to show
That existential truths I know
I've read a play by Sartre, it's true
And one-one hundreth of Camus.
I had a love; she loved me not
I trapped her in a parking lot
I kidnapped her and took her home
And made her hear my epic poem.
"O love! O me! O my O my!
Why spit indifference in my eye?
Why crush my soul with apathy?
How could you unlove me me me?"
(This song I sung through forty page
By end I thought she'd think me sage
But somehow I impressed her not
With all the art that I had got.)
"Thou greasy spot!" she gave reproof
"Pocked of skin and bucked in tooth!"
Big of gut and small of heart!
Better sonnets could I fart!"
And so I sit in sorrow's sink
With carrot peel and sausage link
Among the waste to be disposed
My mighty mind, heroic posed.
(pre-Saved®) bab

Who is the "false god" that you're talking about?

it is named after a person that probably didn't even exist (false)...often using images of cupid or eros (a false god)
To you agents of false religions and atheists...
Proverbs 16:2
All the ways of a man are clean in his own eyes; but the Lord weigheth the spirits.

Is this what turned you against women? I am sorry but all teens have experiences like this. It's part of growing up, BAB.

The false god is the sexual perversion, sodomy, harlotry, fornication, indulgence and filth that alcoholic God-haters like you flaunt in all of our good Christian faces!

Valentine's Day started in the time of the Roman Empire. In ancient Rome, February 14th was a holiday to honour Juno. Juno was the Queen of the Roman Gods and Goddesses. The Romans also knew her as the Goddess of women and marriage. The following day, February 15th, began the Feast of Lupercalia.The lives of young boys and girls were strictly separate. However, one of the customs of the young people was name drawing. On the eve of the festival of Lupercalia the names of Roman girls were written on slips of paper and placed into jars. Each young man would draw a girl's name from the jar and would then be "partners" for the duration of the festival with the girl whom he chose. Sometimes the pairing of the children lasted an entire year, and often, they would fall in "love" and would later marry.
That my f®iend is one of the many reasons why we hate this "holiday" so much!

Further to that it is a Catholic saint feast day:
The Origin of St. Valentine
The origin of St. Valentine, and how many St. Valentines there were, remains a mystery. One opinion is that he was a Roman martyred for refusing to give up his Christian faith. Other historians hold that St. Valentine was a temple priest jailed for defiance during the reign of Claudius. Whoever he was, Valentine really existed because archaeologists have unearthed a Roman catacomb and an ancient church dedicated to Saint Valentine. In 496 AD Pope Gelasius marked February 14th as a celebration in honor of his martyrdom.
The first representation of Saint Valentine appeared in a The Nuremberg Chronicle, a great illustrated book printed in 1493. [Additional evidence that Valentine was a real person: archaeologists have unearthed a Roman catacomb and an ancient church dedicated to Saint Valentine.] Alongside a woodcut portrait of him, text states that Valentinus was a Roman priest martyred during the reign of Claudius the Goth [Claudius II]. Since he was caught marrying Christian couples and aiding any Christians who were being persecuted under Emperor Claudius in Rome [when helping them was considered a crime], Valentinus was arrested and imprisoned. Claudius took a liking to this prisoner -- until Valentinus made a strategic error: he tried to convert the Emperor -- whereupon this priest was condemned to death. He was beaten with clubs and stoned; when that didn't do it, he was beheaded outside the Flaminian Gate [circa 269].
Saints are not supposed to rest in peace; they're expected to keep busy: to perform miracles, to intercede. Being in jail or dead is no excuse for non-performance of the supernatural. One legend says, while awaiting his execution, Valentinus restored the sight of his jailer's blind daughter. Another legend says, on the eve of his death, he penned a farewell note to the jailer's daughter, signing it, "From your Valentine."
St. Valentine was a Priest, martyred in 269 at Rome and was buried on the Flaminian Way. He is the Patron Saint of affianced couples, bee keepers, engaged couples, epilepsy, fainting, greetings, happy marriages, love, lovers, plague, travellers, young people. He is represented in pictures with birds and roses.
