The Onion - God is Pissed

Christian Graus

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.

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). 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.

They have get-out clauses to every possible question. Yes, and isn't amazing how god managed to create a system that seems so 'man-made'! ----------------------------- "I leave no turn un-stoned. " - John Simmons, Nov 6 2001 -----------------------------

Tim McVeigh was a Christian, and under their 'rules' is now in heaven. I don't know about this, but even if it's true, this shouldn't motivate someone like Hitler to do something that can only be characterized as crime agaist humanity. Again that brings me back to the fact that anybody can interpret a religion in any way they like. AFAIK, every religion has given some scope, within which you can interpret things differently. I don't think this is a problem, as long as it doesn't contradicts the major principals. I gotta go now. It's been a long day. Cheers. // Fazlul

> 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. Thank you my son. You will be remembered in the widely interpreted Word Of John (volumn 1), which will be deciphered from scrolls transcibed directly from these forums. Your name will dance on the tongue of mankind long after your flesh has been devoured by the wind of time. I've been working on The Word Of John, and there will be several sections, namely: I John - Born At An Early Age Book 1 - Mom And Dad Weren't Planning This Book 2 - Who Was My Father Anyway? Book 3 - Who You Callin' White Sucka! II John - That Wacky Pre-Schooler Book 1 - I Akst You Who You Was Callin' White! Book 2 - How I Drove Mom And Dad Apart Book 3 - Everything You wanted To Know About Girl Cooties III John - Realization Of His Ultimate Power And Glory Book 1 - Girl Cooties Revisited (Yumm) Book 2 - I Rule! Book 3 - I Still Rule! IV John - Outlaw Programmer Book 1 - VB Programmers? BWA HA HA HA! Book 2 - Who Is That Allah Guy? I Can Kick His Scrawny Ass! Book 3 - The Wonders Of Latex Book 4 - Bob, Bruce, And Other Farm Yard Antics Book 5 - I Still Rule! Most of the book so far is comprised of real-life experiences, factual conjectures, rumors, and vaguely described devine events which will permit future generations with plenty of room for wildly varying explanations of what I was really lying about. Advanced copies will be available in the 2nd quarter of 2002 at your local bookstore.

[rant] I've sat by as long as I can, but I can't stand it anymore. It was Himmler - not Hitler - who orchastrated the genocide of the Jews/Blacks/Gays/Gipsies/etc, Hitler never knew the full picture until we did, and then it didn't matter to him anyway, as he put a bullet in his brain. And Goering was not guilty of anything short of being a bad leader - Nuremburg was grosly unjust to him. [/rant] I don't think this is a problem, as long as it doesn't contradicts the major principals. Have you read the Bible recently? You wanted major contradictions? I believe William Shakespeare summed it it perfectly: "To do and not to do, that is what the Bible tells us".

I wasn't sure wehther I should reply to this, seeing as it may be conceived as an attempt to boost my post numbers, but as it's not it should be okay. I am going now. I was waiting for a phone call that never came, so I'm off to bed. Night All. David Wulff, Founder of The BLA dwulff@battleaxesoftware.com New's flash - Bob caught in kitchen incident.
