I thought this was a riot, the atheist one is my favorite, but this one is so blatantly stupid that I couldn't help but post it. Watch out, I have a habit of lashing out at children, RARRGH! ::)
Okay, I was going to post a caution about religion-bashing but that Atheist cartoon thing was funny as hell. Maybe you'd have to have grown up Christian to find it amusing, I dunno. Back to my caution: If you want to bash people/sites/whatever that are bashing other religions and promoting their own, that's cool but let's not make this a general anti- Christian/Muslim/Atheist/Apathist(my own religion) thread. Well, alright, if you want to bash the Church of Apathy, go ahead. We don't give a sh*t.
[edit: Actually, the most amusing bit was the note about the coloring book: ". . . all while imparting the valuable moral lesson that we should not color outside of God's lines."]
I don't mean to bash christianity, it's just that this site comes of as a "here's how to brainwash your kid" guide. Rather than a serious explanation of common christian views it gives simplistic bashing of other religions, like the above. I showed it to some of my christian friends and they thought it was absurd, so I didn't think anybody would get offended.
EDIT: all while imparting the valuable moral lesson that we should not color outside of God's lines.. I didn't think THAT was ridiculous, it implies that things such as cloning and such are wrong because that's not inside the boundaries of nature. My comic relief is in how they tell you to go straight to your parents or pastor if you have an atheist in your neighborhood. Reminds me of home. *sigh*
www.godhatesfags.com
I'm not doing any religion bashing, that's a genuine site and the people are dead serious. Frightening, though i've probably posted that numerous times already.
That much was amusing. I have great respect for a good many Christians that I know (my parents among them) but sites like this one do a better job of making a mockery of Christianity than Landover Baptist. Incidentally, they quote the constitution and claim that , this being the US's internet and the US being a Christian nation, the government should enforce its authority and remove this website. Lesson #1, if you browse the Landover Baptist site and come away from it with either Pro-Christian or Anti-Christian sentiments, you're an idiot. Sorry. Their anti-Triclavian campaign is laughable as well.
I found the coloring book additionally enjoyable because the page states that, "People enjoy having the Bible shared with them!" What a wonderful thing to send your kids out into the neighborhood thinking. Sorry, but I'm gonna treat someone like that exactly like I treat telemarketers and door-to-door salesmen. They'll find me polite for about 5 seconds and if they don't get the hint, they'll probably walk away offended or pissed off.
I think it would be rather difficult to bash this site, at least in a playful manner. This site is beyond parody...well maybe DG could make some witty Mr. T reference or say some "OMG!!!LOL!!!THIS SITE IS TEH..."-kinda line. But other than that, this site is funny all on its own. I mean I'm really not certain that it already isn't a satire.
My favourite line is from the reseach report on dinosaurs still living in Africa.
"...with only inconclusive results owning to the difficult conditions of the region, dinosaurian wiliness, and God's Will."
Dinosaurian wiliness...how can I can slip that into everyday speech?
The Giraffe scientist confounds, amuses, and frightens me, all at the same time.
"All humans are descendants of Adam and Eve--" ...okay... "--who had many sons and daughters--" ...yeah... "--so Cain MARRIED ONE OF HIS SISTERS!" ...oka-- Wait, isn't that incest?
"My friend Bomby... can shoot boiling-hot toxic chemicals out of his butt. Why?" That one made me laugh out loud hysterically.
And the one abot the Secular movie saying that T-Rex was a killer, when all he really ate were vegetables. Sure, that may be true, but then the Giraffe goes on to say that Noah's people were safe from the T-Rex, and that fossils are the remains of dinosaurs and bad, bad people who didn't survive the flood!
Yeah...okay...
Yeah, I'm not totally sure it's not satire either anymore, the more I browse it. It doesn't have the obvious outside links like landover, and maintains a lot of arguments I've actually heard. I've heard the triclavanist stuff in my old hometown before. People do actually buy that sort of thing. But then there are other things, like this:
http://www.cafeshops.com/objectivemin.3749749
And I just don't know anymore.
If you had read deeper, Terran, you would have learned that incest was not against God's laws until after the flood. It later became a sin due to the lower atmospheric pressure (a result of the flood) leading to depleted oxygen levels and increased solar radiation that would harm human genes and create the need for a larger gene pool. God then made incest a sin to protect humans from mutation and it only become culturally immoral as a result of this.
The Giraffe has answers man. I don't know about the lower atmospheric pressure business but being apathetic as I am I think I'll just accept it.
I actually found the article on the bombadier beetle quite interesting. It does seem like a rather precarious evolutionary feature. If evolution takes generations to perfect a trait, how does a trait develop that is potentially dangerous in an imperfect form to the animal carrying it?
Okay, I must admit, the Objective site had me fooled much longer than the Landover one ever did (a second or two). It's just that, ever since GodHatesFags, I've been having trouble rooting out the hoazes from the serious brainwashed psychotic poor souls. :P
I was iffy, until I found this part: http://objective.jesussave.us/creationsciencefair.html
One thing is for sure, its an American site.
"This is our Internet, and we should exercise our position as its owners and as the guardians of civilization to stop its misuse."
Now, im of to post evil properganda on this stolen internet, and there is nothing they can do

I remain dubious. The Creation Science Fair is in keeping with the beliefs/attitudes of some people I've known. The entire site is actually fairly mild compared to some of what I've seen & heard. The nagging thing that makes me skeptical of this as a genuine site is the story of Kyle. Kyle supposedly worked on the Landover Baptist Site but left the dark-side when he became a Christian. Now, he helps with the subject's site. He's also a jewish guy named Kyle (reminiscent of South Park).
i am a believer that it is fake
"Malls are filled with security cameras watched by agents of Secularism, who are in need of Salvation just as anyone else - if not more so! When in view of one of these cameras, hold up inspirational signs and put on pantomime plays for their benefit."
did it for me. and the science fair and the dinosaur article.

This is for real? When i saw cartoon in first post i thought it's freaking parody. Nothing against religion, but this site is even below brain-washing... it's laughable :)
As kid-art its sillyness is acceptable. I have known many Christian-types that believe in many of the things this site claims to. So far, I haven't seen anything there that far out of the ordinary. I'm open to the fact that it could be fake but the paranoid part of me keeps screaming that these goofballs actually believe this tripe.
how about this yakspit:

Oh yeah? Well speaking of parody and falsehood, I bet your real last name isn't Colossal. Your avatar's probably not even your real picture. ::)
Anyway.. you're slowly convincing me but I really don't think the Trinity long distance thing is that out of the ordinary. After all, these are real products: Testamints (Like velamints, only holy) (http://www.testamints.com).
I, personally, reckon they're the real deal.
Extreme, most certainly. But genuine. Sure, there's a whole load of stuff on their that's a bit strange, but, as a Christian, I don't believe there's anything UNUSALLY out of the ordinary. By that, I mean nothing that causes major arguments between Christians.... unless I've missed a couple of pages.
I think the "Jesus and Pirate" picture Colossal posted was a bit odd. The writing in the speech bubble doesn't match the quality of the drawing itself. Looks iffy to me, but still quite funny. As for the 'w.t.f ministries'........... I'm a christian who shouldn't find that funny, but OH MY GOSH!!! What a laugh!
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!
Sorry, I really had to get that off my chest. That's the funniest thing I've seen all week. They really must be living under a rock if they don't see the link. Or else they're doing it because it's a parody site. But I don't think so. There's just so much they COULD be doing if they were seriously doing a parody, and they've just stuck to minimal stuff, that doesn't really offend anyone (unless your Haabab(sp?) the elephant, in which case you'd be really pissed off....).
But thanks for posting anyway. It made my day..... :D
It's got to be a parody -- no one could be that fucking dumb!
Some of the questions and answers on the Professor Griaffe-thing were very wacked out.
And consider it when this, especialy the part about genetic problems: http://www.k4t.com/Questions/question12.htm

It was! And a double one... remeber Noah? Who were on his boat? He and his family. All others died in flood... So we're already doubledamned thousands of years ago. No heaven 4 us... Of course, if the sin wasn't made *before* the flood ended... But I really can't image a ship full of animals, birds, insects and pregnant women. :D

You obviously haven't met many fundamental/radical Christians.

I went to a Catholic school and met many fundamentals/radicals there.
Alright but you saw my mention of Testamints.. In addition, I was raised in a slightly-kooky fashion. I went to church 6 hours on Sundays, 2 hours on Wednesdays for 18 years. Any music other than gospel/hymnal/choir Christian music wasn't allowed. Dances were seen as evil as well as various odd things. I had neighbors at one point who stored canned goods and weapons for armageddon and went around the neighborhood preaching to kids about the evils of Pokemon & Disney. These same neighbors would purchase every Disney cartoon just so they could watch 'em with their kids & have the kids point out all the sins & lies in the movies. There are some truly nutty people out there who believe in the strangest things. I definately can't assume a site like this is parody just because it defies logic.
It can't be a true Christian nutjob site, cause it's too well-designed.
Here's a TRUE nutjob site:
http://www.capalert.com/
It also does analysis of many "sins & lies in the movies" you were talking about.
Plus, it looks fucking poor.
DG: Is that the site that said Pirates of the Carribean was sinful because it had "slappings?"
Back to the original site... I can't even think of how to describe this. I've learned SOOOO much! Did you know, for example, that if you go to one of those parking lot window-chip repair booths, you might be coerced into joining a cult? No more window chip repair booths for me! And the American flag... well!
QuoteThe current Flag of the United States of America (for the benefit of non-Americans and poorly educated Public School graduates). While beautiful, an ignorant foreigner might mistakenly suspect we were Astrologists or some sort of Stripe Fetishists instead of proper Christians.
Yes.. I'll be (snicker) on the look out for those... (tee hee!)stripe fetishists..(giggle)...
This can't POSSIBLY be serious. That would just be too weird.
Not only "slappings", but "excessive breast exposure, repeatedly" and "gunfire murder to the face" too.
It's people like you DragonRose that are destroying our Christian country! Stripe fetishists are real and they are a plague on this great Christian nation!!
(http://sylpher.com/kafka/junk/starsandstripes.jpg)
SEE!!!
It all makes sense though that you'd think that site was false Dragon Rose. A Dragon shoots flames like the ones you will be burning in also see Revelation 12:9. Don't forget Rose, which is red like the devil and though it may be beautiful it also has thorns that will harm you, like your thorned tongue!!
Eric
Spoiler
ps obviously skipping over the fact that Rose is another name for Mary Magdeline and all this deeply theological stuff that The Rose implies but whatever, heathen
*grovel*
"Gunfire murder to the face". Ahaha, somehow that made me laugh out loud.
Capalert has the best movie reviews..
That can't be real.
...
Seriously...Kanga-jew...
No-one's actually come up with any really 'controversial' stuff yet. Sure, there's whacked out stuff (like the flag, which might I add, looks loverrrly on those two girls), but some Christian radicals are like that. Most of the stuff being pointed out is common knowledge among christians (ie - incest with Cain etc) and because ordinary people don't know it, they think it's proof of a mentally unstable micro-society.
Not to say that I'm DEFENDING the site at all, but there are NO clear signals that it's a parody. Again, I'm not denying the possibility, but until someone actually says something DEFINITIVELY evil/anti-christian/just-plain-freakishly-non-normal, then I'm going to be a stick in the mud. :D
Plus, those girls 'wearing' the american flag told me to say all that....
*wishes he was American* Damn it! Why can't I live there?
trade ya spots peter
I disagree that there are no "clear" signs that it is a fake. This whole page is proof enough for me, because I haven't heard any of the radical christians I know talking about seeing and taking pictures of dinosaurs in africa..
http://objective.jesussave.us/dinoexpedition.html
Now don't get me wrong, I thought it was real until I browsed more. The creation education part is the clearly fake part.

Oooh, free goat blood sample! :P
I remain on the fence. That whole creationist-education exhibit thing isn't really that out of the ordinary (and not too different from stuff we did in my Christian school). Either way, debating this is pointless as there doesn't seem to be definative proof one way or the other. I suggest we put it to a practical exam. This community can e-mail various members of the website and post (summarizing, if necessary) the replies. I'll send one off when I get a minute.
[edit: by the way, if I've managed to get anyone else to try it, I'd suggest using different tactics and writing from different viewpoints]
edit again: I'll still e-mail but the satire-side wins, I guess. Either that or this is the goofiest bunch o'misfits I've seen. I just saw a "Christian-Klingon" banner/website. The only alternate theory I have is that one or more creators of the site is bright enough to pull the wool over their eyes in some areas.
