So who else feels tempted to sign on with a satanist username? Or an Islamic userame? Or any username that pertains to a non christian religion?

[Kyanbu The Legend]

Wow... nice to see the Christian is still... just wow it only took one page for me to hate that site greatly. I smelled to much racism.

It is not even remotely worth my troll'n time.

[Kim]

I am an atheist

@proudatheist: Deep down in your heart, I know you TRULY believe in the ALMIGHTY CHRIST and his love for your soul.

What am I even reading?

[krogothwolf]

Someone should create one and go on everyones "Just keep chirping, chirp chirp chirp"

oh god what is this (http://www.christianchirp.com/search/socialism)

Seems the rule about speaking of religion's getting slightly bent these days....

It's less about speaking and more about preaching. Ragging on people who just happen to be religious for being idiots is totally okay because you're not arguing over religious beliefs.

[Professor Smarmiarty]

It's the approach of the antichrist
E: Blues is the antichrist.

[bluestarultor]

Funny thing about the Antichrist, actually. If you actually look where they talk about it, it's no one person, just anyone who doesn't believe in Christ. So ignoring the mutation of the word and looking at the source, there are easily millions or billions of Antichrists in the world right now.

[Professor Smarmiarty]

That's sounds like exactly the kind of thing the Antichrist would say.

[Hatake Kakashi]

I'm afraid that, for once, I cannot agree with you, Blues. To be honest, I see very little difference between this and ragging on people who happen to be muslim because there are extremist idiots who blow themselves up at the drop of a hat to get anyone else nearby. You and I both know not all muslims are "bad," so lumping them all into one group is simply another imbecilic act of intolerance. See also: "all gay men r bad b/c of AIDS and teh gey, lol" "all demcruts r bad b/c of taxes lol" "all rebupcns r bad bc of oprzn n dey h8 blak ppl, lol" etc. ad nauseum.

Not everyone in any particular group are bad people, but each group will, count on it, will have bad representatives. Some more prominent than others, yes, but even so, I must object.

[Professor Smarmiarty]

I'm pretty sure we're equal opportunity in our hatred. I rags on the prechy atheist as much as the fundies.
And if you read the site it's full of dumb people saying dumb things. You don't get special protection because you are a delicate flower of christ.
And nowehre in this thread are people slanging Christains as a group, we were making fun of this site which is not representative of Christianity as a whole. And like I went to the site and looked at the front page, it was all ridiculous posts.

[Funka Genocide]

This is more horrible because of the blatant "sue my ass off" plagiarism than anything else. I mean yeah, tweeting for Christ, sure, but holy fuck are these guys going to lose their money!

[Krylo]

But who would sue Jesus, Funka?

Would you?

[Grimpond]

:raise:

[synkr0nized]

So where in this thread is anyone calling Christianity stupid or similarly ragging on those who believe it? What I am seeing is people making fun of the fact that a group doesn't understand how to make use of an existing service/is too afraid to use an existing service and has copied it to fill a, relatively speaking, tiny niche.

Torque is pretty over the top, though.

Shhhhh.

As I understand it, there are lower case 'a' antichrists, who are false preachers. Anyone who claims Christ, but teaches false doctrine and leads others asrtray would be an antrichrist.

But there's only one capital 'A' Antichrist, who, depending on your interpretation of Revelation and other relevant passages, actually claims to be Christ, and leads the whole world astray.

Not that the whole world was particularly on track to begin with.

[Professor Smarmiarty]

Pretty much all the stories about the antichrist were invented post reformation as a brush to tar their religious opponents with.
Biblical references are patchy but pretty much all of them are attributed as a single person. The "antichrist as those opposed to Christ" is the theme of early biblical commentators (St Augustine touches on ifI remember correctly). But nobody paid it much attention until the Reformation.

IIRC, Revelations makes a whole bunch of references to pretty much everything but an Antichrist as a singular person. You have multiheaded dragons and multiheaded beasts coming out of the sea and seals breaking and the four horsemen and tons of other stuff people like to mine for cheap apocryphal material, but I don't recall the Antichrist actually being in there.

It's been quite a while since I read it myself, though. I could be wrong and it could have just gotten lost in the shuffle.

[Professor Smarmiarty]

Yo, Antichrist is in John. Read your bible playa.

Sorry. I quoted you instead of Ryanderman. >>;


Edit: That said, this end of the discussion is kind of on thin ice, so I'mma try to step out before I cause trouble.

[Professor Smarmiarty]

I think we have a higher standard of religious debate here than most of the internet even with my gangsta stylings.

[Archbio]

The antichrist is the antiparticle of christ.

Or, if you prefer; its antihypostasis.

[Professor Smarmiarty]

The Greek form can also just mean "In place" of Christ so he's really more like a neutron than an anti-proton.

[TDK]

This probably has really trippy and srs religious connotations by implying they are made of the same basic thing (the equivalent of energy in this analogy), but I'm sitting here wondering what a christ-antichrist reaction would look like. :I

Or would that be the apocalypse?

A common interpretation holds that when John, in Revelation, refers to "The Beast" he's talking about the Antichrist.

[Professor Smarmiarty]

Surely underthis system they would just annihilate each other and produce energy

We've gone pretty much a whole page with a mature and reasoned discussion of theological mythology.

Atheist Barbie vs Reverend Barbie (http://www.blaghag.com/2010/04/atheist-barbie.html)

Alternatively, I could link Jen McCreight's post about HUMP where she talks about someone fucking a crucifix. Would that be offensive enough?

[Professor Smarmiarty]

Relevations is easily the most most obscure and unclear book of the bible though. We got no idea what the shit he's on about in that book.

[Arhra]

Wait, so they're destined to be together?

This (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D5I3Lt8PwyQ) is what it looks like.

Basically a trailer comes on and spoils all possible climactic sequences of a film?

[Ryanderman]

You speak the truth. The only really useful parts of the book are the letters to the churches at the beginning.

[Torque]

aww... It appears that SATANismyCOPILOT has been summarily axed from the boards...
Jeez, you'd think they'd at least give me the opportunity to bury myself first. Isn't it the christian thing to do to like.... live and let live? Or something like that? Is there any kind of christian rule for freedom of speech?

[Aerozord]

personally I'm more tempted to post about obscure christian referances, such as different sects word for god for example. Just to expose how little they know about the religion they are so fanatical over. I mean you have no right to chastise my religious beliefs when you cant even name one choir of angels

no christianity is, believe what I do, or I will hurt you... actually now that I think about it, thats most religions. Atleast in practice

It may be live and let live, but it isn't live and let troll our social networking site.

That's not really the type of religious conversation that ends up all raged out, usually, since it's generally just groups of people who believe differerent flavors of the same thing debate why their flavor is best.

[Torque]

Nothing ever really comes from religious debates though... My philosophy is this: Believe what you want, it's cool! Gotta believe somethin'. Don't worry about my soul, I got it covered. Don't kill nobody though... That's not so cool. But that goes for everyone.

I'm going to have to join this site, and then tell all my friends that I did so in lieu of listening to them and joining Twitter.

First post? Probably going to read "Right on Leviticus, fuck shrimp! Those little guys have no business being so tasty."

No... ooooooh no... this is not going into Leviticus... I've had enough of that dude what with trying to buying Canadians, and Martin Sheen. That dude hates everything. You name it, Leviticus has a law against it. Nuh uh... :mad:
