The Way of the Master

This was SA's awful link of the day. Thought I'd share it with all of you.

Be sure to say "no" first when he asks you if you're Christian. Then do it again and say yes.

Kirk! What have you gotten yourself into!

It's gotten to the point where stuff like this isn't even funny to me anymore, because Christian's are like the oldest damned joke in the book.

I'm disappointed that I didn't get anything special for breaking, by their standards, every one of the Ten Commandments.

The sites well designed though. Whoever made it (the flash section anyway) put some serious effort into it.

All this can be yours for the low, low price of $59!

I don't see the big deal, people have used semi-celebrity for much worse.

Christianity is way to death focused. And it makes you feel bad for being who you are.

My only real opinion on the subject is that once you exploit religious foundations and scare tactics to make a buck, you're a douchetard.

I realize that's business, but that doesn't mean I agree with it.

Eh that isn't really part of business. You can make money with out being unethical.

You know, the first commandment is a lot like the quills of an Echidna.



You're welcome frosty'

Is this why some Christians are annoying and won't shut up about wanting me to believe?

The site said I'm going to hell, and it didn't even let me down nicely.

Christians are mean, horrible people.

This is everything that is wrong with Evangelists. These people make me sick. Examples?

So it's important that you take advantage of the short time you have while you still have their ears.

On Baptism - It would also seem clear from scripture that those who were baptized, were fully immersed in water. Here's one reason why:

"And John was also baptizing in Aenon near to Salim, because there was much water there. . ."

(John 3:23).

If John was merely sprinkling believers, he would have only needed a cup full of water.

On Faith - When a young man once looked at me and said, "I find it hard to believe some of the things in the Bible," I smiled and asked, "What's your name?" When he said, "Paul," I casually answered, "I don't believe you." He looked at me questioningly. I repeated, "What's your name?" Again he said, "Paul," and again I answered, "I don't believe you." . . . You should have seen his reaction. He was angry. I said, "You look a little upset. Do you know why? You're upset because I didn't believe what you told me. If you tell me that your name is Paul, and I say, 'I don't believe you,' it means that I think you are a liar. You are trying to deceive me by telling me your name is Paul, when it's not." Then I told him that if he, a mere man, felt insulted by my lack of faith in his word, how much more does he insult Almighty God by refusing to believe His Word.

The world ain't black and white, kids. Someone needs to wake these people up before they start causing some major damage.

Oops, we're too late, they already did.

"Hitler's name wasn't even despised enough to use as a curse word!"

giggle. he said hitler.

shut the fuck up you HITLER!

I liked the part about how "my god" won't send people to hell because he doesn't exist.

Well "their" god sounds like a mean douche.

The things that this site advocates probably goes against at least half of the world's accepted forms of Christianity.

Like this here. This is poking fun at one form of Christianity.

I have no idea how people can have faith in someone that they think is a God of Technicality.

"Ok I'm dead now, lets get our heaven on"
"Sorry sir"
"@_@ what, but I was saved and baptized, I was a good Christen"
"Um, Yeah, you know what, uh uh"
"what are you talking about"
"Well you were a good christian, but when you were 7 you got water sprinkled, and not babtized"
"I thought that count T_T my mommy and daddy told me that would count"
"Well they were wrong, so bu-bye now"
"T_T"
"Oh and say high to our parents, and your entire church in hell"
" ;_; "

Kirk Cameron converted to hardcore Christianity during Growing Pains. Once he did, he demanded more "pure" and "spiritual" plotlines in the show. He took the whole fucking thing down, too, it was cancelled a year or so after he converted.

Gotta love E! True Hollywood Series.

does E! still have talk soup on it? I used to watch that back in the day.

They have a show like that. I think it's called The Dish.

talk soup was awesome.

IM A DOCTOR DAMN IT NOT A RAPPER

Because true Christianity is a religion with a social conscious; while Evangelism is a cult, with the sole purpose of maintaining it's survival and increasing it's fellowship. A technicality like that invalidates all other forms of Christianity which prevents crossover and aides in pulling members through fear.

You can determine the validity of a religion by the wealth of the leaders... inversely proportional.

Yeah I know that, I wasn't saying all christians are like that. I just don't see how some people can be so bitter and cold like that about God.

Even as a Christian I totally want to disown the religion when I read shit like the stuff on that site. I have to stop and remind myself that they are wrong.

If God is real I bet that sort of crap bothers him as much as sinning. In many of those examples it puts gods motives with in that of a human. It assumes he has the mental capacity of sinning human. The example with the guy being insulted and thus god must be insulted was one of them.

I heard an enlightening interview with an Evangelical Christian today on the radio. Turns out they're not a cult! And they're not supposed to be Republican zombies, either.
Apparently, they are defined by 3 core beliefs:
1) That you can establish a personal relationship with the presence of Jesus, and enrich your life thusly.
2) That you can always find good advice to live by and help you in the Bible. (Also stated as "The Bible is Infallible", but apparently this does not mean they take the bible literally.)
3) And I forget the last one. Damn.

An interesting point he made: Many evangelical Christians are adopting a new core set of values - Republican values - that are directly contradictory to the Evangelical values!
For example - Jesus teaches pacifism, yet many evangelical christians are now gung-ho about the War in Iraq. WTF is going on?!?!

I saw a lot of this at my old high school, which was all males and Catholic. I was surrounded by the sons of semi-wealthy Long Island parents, and seeing them simultaneously be "devout catholics", mean drunks, and uber conservatives was kind of scary.

Then again, Jesus wasn't always about letting his ass get kicked. He stated that sometimes you must defend your beliefs, but to compare that to going to war overseas is stretching it a bit.

But yeah, politics and religion will forever be intertwined. There's no avoiding it.
