I disagree. I think it's very telling, and typical. One does not need to cherry-pick xtian posts to find idiocy. And the idiocy on this video is typical of xtians.
Perhaps you know why you haven't dissolved yet from all of that DNA in your body? It's an ACID! And acids dissolve flesh! It has to be true because a xtian said it was so!
Unless, of course, you consider yourself to be one of those "true christians". Never mind the fact that the other idiots consider themselves to be "true christians" also. You might think you're smarter than they are, but they think that they are pretty smart too.
Hell, I thought I was a "true christian" too.
Therefore I was also an idiot. Although some will question the "was" part of it. Not that that bothers me.
"If ye will not give glory unto my name saith the LORD ... I will spread dung upon your faces.– Malachi 2.2,3. So you better give the nutty kike god some glory, goddammit!
Perhaps it is the zealotry that is the main point of contention. Have you noted that your own anti-Christian zealotry is in direct proportion to the zealotry you claim to despise in the Fundies?

Life would be good if everyone would just worship Turtle.

lol....it's a simple observation, not a strawman, and suggested only to help you see where you and your "nemisis" are alike. : )
Uh huh.
OK, for the sake of argument, let's say that you're telling the truth.
You're a woman, right?
Suppose you're at a bar. I see you and say to myself "Damn that is one smokin' hot lady. I think I'll go talk to her".
So I say "You will either love me, and obey me, or I will douse you in gasoline and set you on fire!" You know, like how the kike "god" demands, except that teh kike "god" will burn people forever. I'm more merciful than the kike "god".
How far would that line get me with you?
We're not "alike".
I think it's only natural for people to attack what they see as huge problems in society, because they are so fucking destructive. Some see the problem as some nameless NWO, I see it as going deeper than that. The same people that claim to be fighting the NWO are supporting it anyway, by their allegiance to a kike tribal "god" fraud.
The more that see through that fraud, the sooner teh NWO dies.

If this video represents the depth of thinking of Christians, then Christianity is doomed. To them, atheism is not merely the denial of a Supreme Being, but even the belief that the earth is more than 6000 years old. Even their athiest straw man is made with insufficient straw.
If this video represents the depth of thinking of Christians
Having been in the middle of it, it is the depth of their thinking. That is the power of the programming. It is blinding and insidious. You can point out their errors in black and white, and they will ignore it. ,

How will you change what you detest by acting in the same manner ways you claim to despise? What is destructive is the Fundie approach.....yours is equally destructive and, therefore, will only perpetuate the destruction rather than alleviate any of it.
Your appoach will not help others "see through that fraud" and that's my point. No, we are not "alike" nor do I think you should be like me. Maybe a better question would be: Do you really want to help others see through the "fraud" or is your intent simply to create strife/annimosity? If the former is what you want, change your approach. If the latter is your intent, admit it and accept that you are like the Fundies you claim to despise. : )

Cult of Turtle.......another Kook Aid drinking fiasco for sure. lol
The woman who have worshipped Turtle have permanent smiles on their faces.

That is a valid point. But that is not what I am doing.
The only way to see through it is to question it, and to keep questioning it. Religion, xtianity in particular, does not encourage questioning. It pisses them off. They demand blind faith and obedience, and lots of money. That's just other words for slavery.
All I do is provide some of the questions. If complacency keeps them there, and IMO it does exactly that, then anger and strife, provoked by legitimate questions, helps to remove that complacency.
They will either question what they are demanded by others to believe, or they will not. I'm not demanding that others see this as I do. Just to question it all.
Most won't do that. It's easier for them to let others do their thinking for them. They are the lost causes and are worthy of nothing but slavery. But some will.

It wasn't you that I referred to. When you said "and suggested only to help you see where you and your "nemisis" are alike. : ) " I took that as a reference to me being like the kike "god", not like you. I don't know you.

I don't. I go to a fairly conservative christian church, and people who say what these actors said would be laughed at there, just like they are laughed at everywhere else except among their nutty brethren.
That could very easily be 100% true. There are varying degrees of programmed stupidity/insanity involved here. Notice that I am not saying anything that I haven't already said about myself, since I was in the middle of that crap too.
But I bet that they themselves don't like being laughed at when they try and convince others, the "heathens", that their god of love demands to be loved, obeyed to the point of murdering entire populations, etc, or else they will get tortured for eternity.
Either that, or maybe they are the kinds of people, like Calvinists, that believe these people are born to burn, and don't trouble themselves with trying to spread the so-called "good news".
Or maybe they were like me and saw the errors regarding the translating of the words into "hell", "eternal", etc, and rightfully know that these things aren't scriptural. But there is plenty of other garbage out there that has been translated properly. Like my sigline, for example. You don't really think I had to search long and hard to come up with that, do you?

The fundie game is so insidious because actively opposing it makes you as they are. That's one of the lessons of Christ: opposing evil on the worldly plane makes one evil.
Note that I didn't say it's one of the lessons of Christianity. ; )
"If ye will not give glory unto my name saith the LORD ... I will spread dung upon your faces.– Malachi 2.2,3. So you better give the nutty kike god some glory, goddammit!
If you don't oppose evil, what are you doing here? What are you doing in real life?
I said "opposing evil on the worldly plane makes one evil."
Opposing evil on the spiritual side is done by believing and doing good (faith and works) in this world. Putting one's self into opposition to evil on the mere rational, material side merely makes one more inclined to error.
As humans, we live in two worlds simultaneously: the material and the spiritual. The bitch about modern religion is that people have been tricked into concentrating on the material world and ignoring the spiritual one.
That's one of the lessons of Christ: opposing evil on the worldly plane makes one evil.
Say what? That's pretty kooky, no wonder Flint calls it ChristyInsanity.
Godfrey Smith: Mike, I wouldn't worry. Prosperity is just around the corner. Mike Flaherty: Yeah, it's been there a long time. I wish I knew which corner. My Man Godfrey (1936)
That sounds good. In theory. But it's only churchianity 101.
We live in the material. This living in 2 worlds stuff is mystical nonsense that plays right into the kikes hands.
There is nothing spiritual about christianity. All you do is wait for death. That's it. There is no room for self-improvement, any kind of advancement, you're stuck in a kind of limbo, either hoping for the "rapture" or the "2nd coming" for life to really begin.
Don't try and convince me of anything different. I know better because I lived it too. I wasted too many fucking years on that crap.
If people would concentrate more on the material, then they would not have to wait for "jesus" to come back and fix things. We can improve things a lot here, by ourselves, but so long as people think jebus is going to make things all better, things continue downhill, much to the xtians delight since they think that is a "sign" of his return, as well as much to the delight of the kikes that are in charge of it all, since it keeps their opposition ineffective. Or WTF, there is no opposition. They are enabling the kikes by doing nothing to try and stop them.
"If ye will not give glory unto my name saith the LORD ... I will spread dung upon your faces.– Malachi 2.2,3. So you better give the nutty kike god some glory, goddammit!
I'm not "waiting" on Jesus or anyone else. The bullshit about future life, redemption of sins by blood, the trinity, etc. ad nauseum are all designed to keep us off track. Religion is no different from government in that it's imposed on us, from the top down, to keep us in line for the worldly ends of others that only believe in the material realm.
The simple fact is that spirit precedes the material and when we're dead, we're still what we were before we were in this body: spirit. What happens after death no one can know but we can know what we really are.
Many people have the cause and effect of the spirit/material interaction reversed. Spirit doesn't rise from the material. Rather, the material world is the clothing put on by spirit.

If you don't oppose evil, what are you doing here?
According to the New Testement, Sermon on the Mount in particular, the flock should be setting an example of Light in this world through compassion and loving of enemies.
I suppose if this were the case, you would not have such a negative view of Christians. : )

The contrary of course is:
"The only thing necessary for the triumph [of evil] is for good men to do nothing." ~ Edmund Burke
What lies behind us and what lies before us are tiny matters compared to what lies within us. ~ Ralph Waldo Emerson
Creation of a good and decent world requires only that each of us as individuals behave in a good and decent manner. There are times when evil requires direct opposition to protect others but by and large we create the world in which we live - each of us by our own actions.
Religion, regardless of the excesses of some, has ever been a motivating force toward good. Religion is the advance guard as it seeks to understand and explain the most fundamental questions central to existence.
Who am I?
What am I?
What is the meaning of life?
Is there a God? If so what is man's relationship to God?
All of these are basic and fundamental to understanding our existence and creating a world in which we wish to live. There are other questions that spin off of these but those are the basis upon which religious thought, and philosophy, is formed. Each religion has its own answers to these questions, and they may be right or wrong, but they are never irrelevant.
"“Believe nothing merely because you have been told it. Do not believe what your teacher tells you merely out of respect for the teacher. But whatsoever, after due examination and analysis, you find to be kind, conducive to the good, the benefit, the welfare of all beings - that doctrine believe and cling to, and take it as your guide.” ~ Gautama Siddhartha — The Buddha
"The only thing necessary for the triumph [of evil] is for good men to do nothing."
Resolving to live a life of good and then doing it is doing something. Many people never even get to the resolving part, hence they do nothing.
I see religion as a very large, very tall tree with many branches. Sometimes, the tree obscures the sunlight and sometimes it doesn't. It all depends on where one is standing in relation to the tree.
I would just note that nobody is so rabidly anti-alcohol as an ex-drunk. Most of us can consume it safely and responsibly, but try telling that to an AA member.
That is quite possibly a legitimate point. It's one that I have thought about. Would I be this way if I had never been exposed to xtianity? Maybe not. But I can't say for sure. I might have been even more vocal, seeing the damage it has done to this planet and the people on it, while I was on the outside and looking in.
I do have more empathy with those still in it though. I would not have that empathy if I had never been inside it for all that time.

Well put. If you want to find the light you have to look for it.

"The only thing necessary for the triumph [of evil] is for good men to do nothing."
I would say that no man has conquered any evil in this world without first conquering himself. That something right there is a quite a feat to accomplish.
Let's be honest, few people are aware enough to be effective at all in regards to attempts to triumph over evil.......and those who lack the necessary awareness to be effective end up making it worse.

That "advice" is suicidal and stupid beyond words. But it sounds so sweet. Until one scratches beneath the surface.
I suppose if this were the case, you would not have such a negative view of Christians. : )
My negative views are limited to the religions and their programming of innocent people, usually from birth. I do not hate the programmed because I was in the same boat that they are in now. I'd much rather see them being set free from that programming, because it is destroying them, and the planet.

So, the solution then would seem to be, raising first awareness.
