tl;dr - i once wanted a church to keep it down

so yeah i can see how "funny" it is

Islamic terrorists only bombed the U.S. because of the sluts in the pop music videos though, so...you know it's a chicken and egg thing.

i worked with a guy who went to a "church" like this only they were into skateboarding instead. he was just a kid who happened to get a DWI but they convinced him he was some hardcore alcoholic and he had to repent or whatever. they really fucked him up in the head. he got so into it we fired him

lol wut?
Serious or not - I can't tell.

[vixnix]

just kidding.

[Trotskilicious]

everyone knows it's because they hate our freedom

[vixnix]

They hate the females' freedom to be sluts is right

And the males' freedom to enjoy other males

So many freedoms they hate. Haters be hatin' because haters be jealous yo. Those jealous religious people!!

[Trotskilicious]

they are not free and they wish they were, so they terrorize us. if anything it makes too much sense.

[vixnix]

These people sound alarmingly simple

I didn't see anyone getting killed. I might have had my head turned though.

[Trotskilicious]

deliberately missing the point or stupid, hard to tell with you

[pavementtune]

My memory is tricking me into thinking I recently saw a heated argument regarding "stupid"and "dumb". Must have been on some other board.

[Trotskilicious]

no it was this one you didn't seem to grasp what it was actually about though

[pavementtune]

You are right as always.

I have to learn the different standards for
"you say a lot of dumb things"
and
"or stupid, hard to tell with you."

But I might never grasp that either, so be patient with me.

[Trotskilicious]

it was actually about the methodology

either you're insulting for the sake of i dunno comedy, zingers, just being mean whatever. you can't be insulting for Great Justice.

I'm as anti-religion as you are, but when I make a light-hearted joke about it, there's no need to be like that, you're just preaching to the choir.

I'm surprised you didn't pat Luke on the back for knocking people-killer-enablers down a peg.

[Trotskilicious]

people who think pop music is a war crime piss me the fuck off

[Shallowed]

Lol dude what, I was just saying that the program was less annoying.

[Trotskilicious]

it's not, it's infinitely more annoying because pop music doesn't necessarily foster the kind of ideals that religion does, which ******* racism, bigotry, homophobia, war, terror, guilt, etc

it's not fuckin funny okay?

[Luke de Spa]

you have to acknowledge there's at least some risk of murdering dozens in your sleep if you listen to enough black eyed peas though, right

[Luke de Spa]

i mean think about it, mk ultra 2 / haarp anyone?

[slunken]

just to b e clear this is exactly what i was watching as a kid

[slunken]

this makes me pretty glad youtube didn't exist back then

[vixnix]

I would rather watch religious tv than pop music videos. Pretty sure they'd use pop music over religious programming as a torture device in a POW camp.

Oh, I agree that's not funny at all. There was a lot of love and happiness and shit, the funny bit was that these people needed a God to believe in to have a motive for fostering any sort of good ideals.

There were plenty of bits that were genuinely inspiring, when they weren't relating it to God or Jesus.
