The Onion - God is Pissed

Mike Burston

What's funny about using God's word? Um... just about everything ??? our God doesn't say any bad words or expression Well, my god is John Simmons, and he's famous for his bad words and expressons. I'm also willing to bet my god's more fun that yours on the weekends. ...have respect to Almighty GOD Which god would that be ? Please be more specific when referring to deities - this is an international web site, after all. ----------------------------- "My name is Sven und I am from Sveden.

Lighten up, Samantha. Leaving alone for a moment the differences between Catholicism and Christianity, if you're not a 'very devoted' Catholic, then how can you get all self righteous because someone made a joke, especially one which makes a very valid point ? Christian After all, there's nothing wrong with an elite as long as I'm allowed to be part of it!! - Mike Burston Oct 23, 2001

some will even take it out of the lounge and send you personal hateful emails I should hope these people are instantly barred from the communuty. :mad: Personal insults aimed at John and his Goat/Latex fetishes are all very well, but written abuse sent like that is just not on.

Taking John's defence, I think that any links/story taken from "The Onion" is by definition either really funny, sarcastic, ironic, and not to be taken "literally" (sp?). I didn't found the article funny ( as in hillarious ) but as in fun to read with a great ending. Max. :rose:

He's getting old, so let's forgive him. Truely I think the post is based on some facts, though I don't buy the argument that religion is itself has anything to do with it. It's the fanatics and extremist who are to blame. // Fazlul

That was clearly based on religion, and was a fight between Christians and Jews. I thought fascists don't have any religion. // Fazlul

"To do otherwise can lead to a flame war that can get nasty (some will even take it out of the lounge and send you personal hateful emails). " Don't worry PJ, I'm not a war freak person... :rolleyes: just a simple girl on the block.. "learn to laugh at yourself" Why would I laugh at myself? I don't look funny... but I can say I'm cute... ;P "and see the humour in things. (Just some advice, do with it as you will )" I can see loud and clear... ;) :rolleyes: "But I also believe He is a loving and caring God, and as long as we follow His word to the best of our abilities, everything will turn out fine. " I second the motion!! :rose: Samantha :rose:

"if you're not a 'very devoted' Catholic, then how can you get all self righteous because someone made a joke, especially one which makes a very valid point ?" Which makes a very valid point? Hey Christian! it's a lounge and everyone has it's own opinion and I'm just sharing my opinion, what I believe... I know that when the topic comes to religion it's a never ending debate.....which is why John is smart enough to put that link to lounge... ;) :rose: Samantha:rose:

People are free to believe in whatever they want. If they have a need to justify something to themselves, then religion is the only way to go. Remember, that when it comes to god, no one can prove you wrong. That's the beauty of faith (and the one major flaw in the whole religion shenanigan).

I am not sure I answered your question with my prior reply, so I will try again: The fact that you can define either side as haviing faith for a particular religion, makes it beased on religion. It's wasn't racial genocide, but religous genocide (though admitidly the Jews are a race in their own right).

I meant the article makes a valid point about morons who think that God wants particular people to die and needs other people to help Him do it. You're welcome to share your opinion, I'm sharing mine. Christian After all, there's nothing wrong with an elite as long as I'm allowed to be part of it!! - Mike Burston Oct 23, 2001

Not necessarily. Who says what a religion allows? Does Christianity allow practicing homosexuals? Does Christianity allow you to fight in a war? Does Christianity allow you to lie with a beast as you would lie with a women? This is one of the points I always make: religion is open to interpretation by whoever finds the need for it. I could find evidence to condem and condone all of the examples I gave above, should I actually be bothered to.

It's wasn't racial genocide, but religous genocide (though admitidly the Jews are a race in their own right). Unfortunately, the Jews were in the recieving end of this genocide, but what about the Hitler and his fascist gang? Were they motivated by the any Christian doctrines? I don't think anybody would consider them as Christians. No? // Fazlul

"But I also believe He is a loving and caring God, and as long as we follow His word to the best of our abilities, everything will turn out fine. " Unless of course you worked in the top floors of the WTC (perhaps only heretics and sinners worked there?) Or unless you are a new born child with a fatal disease - then you can look forward to a few months (perhaps years) of pain, followed by death, without ever having the chance to follow his/her/its word. Such a loving and caring god. ----------------------------- "My name is Sven und I am from Sveden.

Come on Mike, you know full well they have all sorts of "free-will" and "God must be evil to be kind" excuses up their sleeves. They have get-out clauses to every possible question. David Wulff, Founder of The BLA dwulff@battleaxesoftware.com New's flash - Bob caught in kitchen incident.

Were they motivated by the any Christian doctrines? I don't think anybody would consider them as Christians. No? Tim McVeigh was a Christian, and under their 'rules' is now in heaven. But that's my point. No one can say what religion a person is, save the individual themselves. Nowhere is there a set of rules that you must adhere to in order to be considered religious. A prime example are the supposed motives driving the Taliban. And I don't know if you can say that - thoughout history people have believed that certian religions give them the right to butcher other religions' followers. Again that brings me back to the fact that anybody can interpret a religion in any way they like.
