That was really funny.

It was really funny because I liked it.

If you didnt like it, you are wrong.

If you think I am wrong you are wrong.



hehe... I think its great...... sorry if any xians are offended.. but sometimes it's good to evaluate our beliefs through satire ( I am very willing to do so myself :- ) )

BTW....

Satire does not equal Strawman...

Oh, and by the way. you dont have to like what he posted, and you dont have to think it was funny...

But why make fun of him for not having seen it earlier? do you think that you have experienced everything that every other person has experienced in the past?

Grow up.

There are close-minded athiests who think this scenerio is comparable to Christianity. And there are even Christians out there who deep down think the same but would never admit it. Both are mistaken.

Love him or hate him, believe him or say he's full of sh1t, but do it after actually checking him out for yourself.

I wouldn't have said anything had it not been such a pathetically obvious troll. Apparently DrMoreau doesn't realize how played out and foolish the whole "Me atheist, you Christian. Me smart, you dumb." routine actually is. You don't seem to either.

The best part is this one:

Me:
"Scientists have pretty firmly established that the moon is made of rock..."
Mary:
"But they don't know if the rock came from the Earth, or from out of space, so it could just as easily be green cheese."
Me:
"I'm not really an expert, but I think the theory that the Moon was somehow 'captured' by the Earth has been discounted. Besides, not knowing where the rock came from doesn't make it cheese."
John:
"Ha! You just admitted that scientists make mistakes, but we know Hank is always right!"

It goes along with so many people today

You know, humor requires some basis in truth in order to be funny. I guess that this was supposed to parallel the Christian Faith, but really could only tell by the fact you mention Christians at the beginning. The guys who thought this was funny must have some odd ideas about the Faith.

I did read thru the "joke", and find it sad that such crude, misrepresentative garbage passes for humor.

The following is funny, but if you are not Southern Baptist you probably won't get it, because you won't understand the truth's that are behind it.

John



YOU MIGHT BE A SOUTHERN BAPTIST IF...

You think John the Baptist started the SBC.

You think God's presence is strongest on the back three pews.

You think "Amazing Grace" is the national anthem.

You judge the quality of the sermon by the amount of sweat worked up by the preacher.

Your definition of fellowship has something to do with food.

You ever wondered when Lottie Moon and Annie Armstrong would get paid off.

You honestly believe that the Apostle Paul spoke King James English.

You think worship music has to be loud.

You think Jesus actually used Welch's grape juice and saltine crackers.

You judge the quality of a service by its length.

You ever wake up in the middle of the night craving fried chicken and interpret that feeling as a call to preach.

You believe that you are supposed to take a covered dish to heaven.

You have never sung the third verse of any hymn.

You have never put an IOU in the offering plate.

You think someone who says "Amen" while the preacher is preaching might be a Charismatic.

You complain that the pastor only works one day and then he works too long.

You clapped in church and felt guilty about it all week.

You are old enough to get a senior discount at the pharmacy, but not old enough to promote to the Senior Adult Sunday School; you think the only promotion after that is the cemetery.

You are upset that Joshua brought down the wall of Jericho and think that the deacons should recommend that the church pay for it to prevent a general ruckus.

You are upset that the last hymn in the new hymnal is numbered "666."

You happen to know that Lottie Moon is not a member of the Unification Church.

You wonder when they are ever going to get that Cooperative Program thing paid for.
