Quote within article: If you wish to learn and understand what orthodox Christianity teaches, and are willing to follow the rules that are set in place for HHS members, including not promoting any other faith that does not adhere to the above-mentioned Doctrines, then you are welcome here.

They only want to hear what they want to hear echoed everywhere, if they really wanted to teach people about xianity they could’ve just made a site explaining stuff with a Q+A section/contact details for someone prepared to answer direct questions

Article: Then there’s GodTube.com.

They should’ve at least called it ChristianTube, anyway I’m not entirely sure why they’re making music videos, it doesn’t validify or explain what the bible’s trying to say, and doesn’t make trauling through the bible any more fun - they’re probably hoping to just culture wash, but then a lot of people rebel against their culture at some point to feel less restricted so they may be creating more people who grow up knowing nothing other than the faith but who leave it when they get a new idea. People who don’t feel obliged to fundie their religous culture who become dedicated xians through their own choice seem to find the religion for themselves as born-agains, so I think the best long-term stratergy for the xians would be to stop alienation through brainwashing and instead operate as sanctuary (in a protective sense against people’s fears of death and whatnot), then work from inside to use fear as fundie-ator.

But then - my perspective but people don’t seem to stick with views so long when they’re an extreemist (in general terms), they either die fighting for it or they throw themselves onto places like SEB as a ‘crusader’ where they can be directly challenged, and where for once those fears are being dispelled rather than promoted. Another way extreemists throw themselves onto the spikes is when they attempt to convert a more secular/alternative view society, but since views are localised the effectiveness varies per faction per area, and society is a little more reserved than anomanous uncensored blogging, and so not as effective

Eh, it’s ridiculously lame, but I take both as a sign that the fundies are crawling back under their rock for awhile, and good riddance.

Interesting, True Believers™ don’t want us to enjoy sex, and only have it to make children to serve the lord.  But yet they have no problem referring to sexual innuendos from a rap song about woman with big asses…

That song has got to be a parody. back in my catholic days I would have considered that blasphemous even though I was never more than the most liberal of catholics. i cant believe that fundies would not find it blasphemous

First Conservapedia, now this? All of this fundamentalist plagiarism of mainstream pop culture only adds credence to the common observation that fundies can’t and won’t think for themselves on anything.

Interesting, True Believers™ don’t want us to enjoy sex, and only have it to make children to serve the lord.  But yet they have no problem referring to sexual innuendos from a rap song about woman with big asses…

I think it’s in the same category as “lying for Jesus.”

THERE IS NO SUCH THING AS GAY CHRISTIANS!!!!! YOU CANT BELIEVE IN GOD AND LIVE A KNOWN LIFE OF SIN!!!! SAYING YOUR A CHRISTIAN WONT GET YOU INTO HEAVEN!!! IF IT DOESNT BURN YOUR HANDS TO TOUCH A BIBLE, TRY READING ROMANS 1:24-27. PAYING CLOSE ATTENTION TO VERSE 27, OR TRY LEVITICUS 18:22!! THE “FRIENDLY” ATHEIST!?!?!? LETS NOT DISCUSS ATHIESTS. THOSE WHO KNOWINGLY SEPARATE THEMSELVES FROM GOD, LIVING THEIR LIVES AS IF HE DOESNT EXIST, WHILE CALLING CHRISTIANS AND BELIEVERS ALIKE HYPOCRITES. WHOS THE REAL HYPOCRITE?

First off, pick an email address Mookie. This is the second one you’ve decided to use.

Secondly, a good many of us have read the Bible. It’s a piss-poor work of fiction at best.

Thirdly, you’re on an atheist website. Perhaps you didn’t realize what you had wandered into.

THERE IS NO SUCH THING AS GAY CHRISTIANS!!!!!

Au contraire, I know at least two.

Now that was a funny rant.

Typical christian fundamentals. Steal it and pretend the original never exsisted.

Mookie, who pissed in your Fruit Loops?

Man there aint no such thing as a gay cristian , Dats like sayin a Virgin slut!!! dat dont make sense god created adam and eve, not adam and steve, I think Gay people need to keep it real, if u gonna pick dick over god then do it but just get dat non sense idea dat ur going to heaven and be gay up there,homsexuals, liars, thiefs, witches, killers, drunks, whores,are not going to the kingdom of heave only the brave shall conquer the kingdom of heaven… but if u repent n change ur ways and live acordin to gods will then u can , but do it NOW dat ur alive.. when u got a chance

Wow, who let out the stupid, today?

I wonder why bigot asshole mother fuckers never learn how to use punctuation or capital letters?

That’s the most illiterate version of Pascal’s Wager I’ve yet encountered.

Virgin Slut- would that be the one who shagged an angel and told her poor husband to be it was a devine miracle.

WTF is “dat"- there is no such word (though there is an acronym). And Ur is a ruined city in the middle East.

Hey Mookie- in the unlikely event you read this- do you keep ALL Leviticus laws?

GOOD JOB yuyis!!! LES, you say this an athiest website, but youre the bunch thats discussing the bible. even though i didnt start the discussion, i have the right to interject whatever i want, its a free country. and to Last_Hussar,1.no one ever “shagged” an angel and that would be the reason she was still a virgin, and 2.whether or not i keep all the leviticus laws is not the subject at hand. but i can can assure that i understand all of them, and that i dont twist and manipulate them to mean what i want them to mean. after reading the entire 18th chapter of leviticus, one would notice that all these laws are intended for men (execept the one about beastiality), so i can honestly say yes, i do keep all the laws. do u????
plus i dont like fruit loops.
(and i can only assume that Last_Hussar and KPatrickGlover are english teachers...)

YoYo, if your god is as powerful as you think he is, he created Adam and Eve as well as Adam and Steve.
If you were half the xian you try to sell us you are you would love all of your imaginary friend’s creations.
And, you’re a lucky little fucker; with the advent of SMS talk you can convince yourself it’s not important to know anything about grammar or spelling.
Of course most of us here see you for what you are - a typically illiterate fundie who we tag under ‘Don’t be that guy’ and ‘True Believers™’ whilst young mothers point you out to their children saying: “if you don’t do your school work you’ll be destined to a mcjob like that mclown if you’re mc-fucking-lucky” … okay, she wouldn’t really say mclown. 

Nookie: i have the right to interject whatever i want, its a free country.

You only have one right here and that’s to entertain. When you cease doing that Les has every right to delete you.
So dance, little merkin, dance.

And just an unrelated, nevertheless amusing, titbit about the merkin:

Houghton Mifflin’s American Heritage Dictionary of the English Language, 4th edition describes the term’s etymology as stemming from an “alteration of obsolete malkin, lower-class woman, mop, from Middle English; from Malkin, diminutive of the personal name Matilda.”

I wonder if anyone’s told Michelle her surname is the equivalent to pretend box hair.

Ummm… theres WITCHES in the kingdom of HEAVE??? - fuck i’m scratching that place off my holiday list

mookie: bla bla bla i have the right to interject whatever i want, its a free country.

Wrong, you have no such right. It’s debatable whether “its” is a free country, but in either case, this is a private website. Everybody posts at the sufferance of the site owner. If you and your buddies make enough of a nuisance out of yourselves, he’ll find creative ways to change your user names, devowelize your posts, or delete them outright. Cry me a river if it comes to that.

bla bla bla
(and i can only assume that Last_Hussar and KPatrickGlover are english teachers...)

The point isn’t who is and who isn’t an English teacher, but that the overwhelming majority of True Believers™ who make their invariably short-lived appearances on this site share a number of common traits: Their grasp of spelling and grammar is tenuous at best, they don’t break their rants into paragraphs for readability and clear expression of ideas (get help here: English as 2nd Language: Paragraph Writing), and they’re not usually lucid enough to justify reading their “contributions” in the first place.

Hay, wate a minut, I taught da kindom of heaven was a reward dat u git fer beeing a gud christian?  Do you mean to say that you’re actually going to wage war against heaven or be some kind of insurgent in order to conquer it?  I am very confused.

Why do you need to be an english teacher to recognize poor spelling and grammar?  Do you need to be a theologian to recognize poor philosophical and religious arguments? 

so i can honestly say yes, i do keep all the laws.

Do you keep all the laws in the Old Testament, or just those you cherry pick and then say you keep?  Are you all set to marry your brother’s wife if he dies?  Will you stone your unruly children?  Eat any shellfish lately?

Mookie: i have the right to interject whatever i want

You have the right to remain silent (and we wish you fucking would), anything you say may be used against you (so we’ll continue to make fun of all the idiotic crap that you post).

You have the right to an attorny (although we only have one of those around here and he’s not overly sympathetic to illiterate morons, so you may be out of luck).

You also have the right to go fuck yourself.....

Another cash in on the popularity of a trend Christian site is http://www.blogpot.com, which has been around for at least three years.  Obviously they hoped to catch folks looking for Blogger.  But be warned, clicking on that link brings up a whole bunch of crap besides the badly formatted and reasoned attempt at evangelism.  Probably should be avoided if you suffer epileptic seizures from flashing things.

LJ, thanks for the merkin reference. That was fascinating reading and just goes to show that even the illiterate rants of a True Believer™ can lead to a new bit of knowledge, though not necessarily from the TB themselves.

Mookie: i have the right to interject whatever i want

Of course you do. But we then have the right to make fun of the stupidity of your interjections.

so i can honestly say yes, i do keep all the laws.

Sold your daughter into slavery recently? No? That’s what I thought. You just pick and choose which “laws” you happen to think apply. That you have apparently picked and chosen the “law” supposedly concerning homosexuality says far more about you than about the Bible itself.

and i can only assume that Last_Hussar and KPatrickGlover are english teachers…

I happen to be an English major, and I can tell you that your grammar, spelling, and capitalization are positively abysmal. You don’t happen to be fifteen years old, do you? The fact is that when someone consistently utilizes terrible grammar, that person is going to be taken less seriously as a result. Of course, the fact that you are also spouting fundamentalist nonsense damages your credibility even further.
