From GF's fundy mom:

Make sure that you scroll through to the end.

Easy vs. Hard



Why is it so hard to tell the truth but

Yet so easy to tell a lie?

Why are we so sleepy in church but


Right when the sermon is over we suddenly wake up?


Why is it so hard to talk about God but yet so


Easy to talk about nasty stuff?


Why is it so boring to look at a Christian magazine

But yet so easy to look at a nasty one?


Why is it so easy to delete a Godly e-mail but


Yet we forward all of the nasty ones?


Why are the churches getting smaller but yet

The bars and dance clubs are getting larger?


Do you give up? Think about it ..


COULD IT BE THAT SATAN IS AT WORK?
Personally, I am sure that's the case!



Are you going to forward this, or delete it?


Just remember- GOD is watching you.

Hey Satan, if you're out there . . . keep up the good work!

The ending of that email reminded me of the Church Lady.

Good question. Please quit spreading the lie that there's a God.

Quote:

Because church is boring as hell, and there's very little of any importance to learn there.

Quote:

Well, the nasty stuff probably exists. And why do fundies keep saying that it's hard to talk about God?

Quote:

But yet so easy to look at a nasty one?
Because the Christian editors make their Christian magazines boring. That's not our fault.

Quote:

Why don't you get a thesaurus and look up a synonym for the word "nasty"? Try "disgusting", "sickening", or "moronic", all of which are excellent descriptions of your e-mail.

Quote:

Because people enjoy going to bars and dance clubs. Why do you have such a problem with people finding something fun to do?

Quote:
Do you give up? Think about it ..
No, I don't give up. And I've seen rocks put more thought into things than you have in this e-mail.

Quote:
COULD IT BE THAT SATAN IS AT WORK?
No. He doesn't exist. And why don't you tell God to get to work? This world is pretty fucked up you know. If I were omnipotent, omniscient, omnibenevolent, and all the other omni-things, I could certainly fix these things. I'm not, unfortunately.

Quote:

I wouldn't put much stock in anything you're sure of.

Quote:

The latter.

Ignorance is Strength!
War is Peace!
Freedom is Slavery!
Christianity is Rational!

I usually find the opposite to be true. Trying to support a lie can be tricky.

Quote:

I was always sleepy before, during, and after the sermons. Now I can actually get some rest and not have to worry about staying awake during sermons.

Quote:

This is probably because of how I was raised, but I find it difficult to talk about "nasty stuff."

See Sleeping Dragon's response.

Quote:

I am supposed to forward the nasty ones? I delete them as easily as the Godly one.

Quote:

I do not know where you are, but obviously not where I am. There are huge churches here, and some of the dance clubs are barely getting by.

You personally know that it is Satan? Are you Satan's assistant and knows what it does? Dave Mathews up in EoG thinks that humans are evil and does not need any assistance from Satan.

This god must be extremely bored if it is watching me, since my life is probably one of the most boring on this planet.

Sleeping Dragon: I've got tears in my eyes from laughing so hard. Especially liked this one:

Satan, the poor sap's work is never done!

Someone should look into labor rights violations for the poor guy. Shouldn't old scratch at least get a day off now and then, dental and medical benefits, PTO, and what about overtime pay for all those Infinite shifts he's got to pull?

Talk about sympathy for the devil!

Of course, if such outrageous fairy tales as Christianity were true, perhaps we should really feel sorry for poor god.

The devil gets all the rebels, artists, free-thinkers, can-can dancers, and most if not all of the musicians (outside of Country and Gospel).

God gets a bunch of fat, white Southern Baptists, content to sing Hallelujahs and pat each other on the back for all eternity.

Scary. I think I could handle a little dry heat and brimstone over that any day...

Well bigjim, I for one am not going to fall into you're trap and start thinking about that message, but let me leave you with this:
Why is it that so many xians are not just BLIND but STUPID!! Why is it that through the " holy spirit", they believe 1+1=872?.

Oohh, me too...

Quote:

Because sometimes revealing the truth can bring painful consequences. Like when you tell your religious parents you're an atheist, and they abuse and disown you. Or when you stand up for the Constitution, and Christians send you death threats.

Quote:

Because the whole point of religion is to put the intellect to sleep. We're just doing as we're told.

Quote:

Well, I've always found it hard to talk about imaginary things. Call me non-creative. But nasty stuff is real. I can see it, touch it (oooohhh...)

Quote:

Because Christian magazines don't have nasty stuff in them. And people like nasty stuff. Duh.

Quote:

Why do you keep saying "nasty" ? This is getting repetitive.

Actually, I find it quite hard, or at least time-consuming, to forward nasty e-mails. Those JPEGs are so huge....

Quote:

What Sleeping Dragon said.

Quote:

Do people like you never give up? Start thinking, please.

Quote:

No, I'm at work. Or at least, I should be. Stop wasting my time with this crap.

Quote:

Ask God. He knows. And soon, my Trash folder will too.

Hi, God Sorry, didn't see You there.
Hey - don't You sometimes wished You'd laid in more stock of brain matter when You were creating Your followers? Just curious.

BibleBelted: *bows* Glad I gave you something to smile about. Judging by what I've heard, atheists in America don't have much to be happy about right at this moment.

Arrowman: ROFLMAO!
