So, If God Existed He’d Keep Dogs Quiet?
Submitted by: Lindsay
We all know Godwin’s Law, along the lines of “the longer an internet discussion continues, the more likely a Hitler comparison becomes.” It seems that there’s a similar law out there involving accusations of being a bad Christian. Let’s call it the Crazy Cross Rule: “the more petty the concern, the more likely an angry person will invoke your failures as a Christian.” Some other examples include this and the one after the jump:
Bryant writes, “Ok… So I dated my girlfriend, and we ended up breaking up. Probably two days later, I got this email. I have NEVER met this girl before. AND all of this is made up. I actually told my ex girlfriend about this, and she thought it was hilarious! OH and my father is not a pastor… He is an electrical engineer. ha… And I never ever talk about my relationships to people. So this was all VERY funny to me. I never cheated on my girlfriend or anything.”
I believe we have met in the book store before, either way, that’s not the point. You know out of all the shit people could do to another person, the shit that you did was fucking ridiculous. You cheated on Sarah during new years when she was FUCKING SICK IN BED, you hooked up with another girl when you two were complicated…and she made out with a guy when you two WEREN’T TOGETHER, and this is the shit you pull. How can you call yourself a pastor’s son and a christian after all you did, said and done??!?! You are so completely wrong man…so wrong. You need to stop telling people that it was her fucking fault because she forgave your ass a million times…more than what most women would have did. You are a pathetic excuse for a man…how can you look at yourself in the mirror everyday and knowing what you did??!!?! MAKING OUT WITH SOMEONE WHEN YOU BROKE UP WITH HER DOES NOT COUNT AS CHEATING MOTHERFUCKER…stop, stop, STOP LYING TO PEOPLE. You call yourself a christian…don’t you think God is going to hold you accountable for everything that you do?!?! I’m sorry if I’m swearing and shit to you, but you need to grow some fucking balls and get with it. If you really, really, really cared for her like you said, then you wouldn’t have did what you did to her. yes, you have every freaking right to be upset that she made out with another guy when you stilled cared about her, but don’t DON’T flip the fucking tables and pretend that she did all of this shit. She forgave your ass more than ANYONE WOULD HAVE…you are wrong…dead, fucking wrong man. May God have mercy on your soul…

Sarah and whoever the right guy the letter is supposed to be directed at both sound like a couple of relationship winners. Lindsey’s doing a smashing job of maintaining a dignified silence regarding a relationship she isn’t in, isn’t she? And the dog note – well, God posts on here, doesn’t he? What’s he got to say about it ;-D
I laughed, but I also should add that I always roll my eyes, whenever “god” posts…
It’s not My fault if you have extinction issues.
Awkward…
*like*
I say, sorry about the dog. It’s pretty hard to keep them all quite at once, there are some I always miss.
I guess it’s also hard to spell properly as God.
Spellcheck is My friend, but that God wasn’t Me. I always make sure to pimp My website link in My name.
GAH!! False Idol! FALSE IDOL!!!

And he wants ice cream?
I think she was trying to say that Timmy b**ch slapped her at the local swimming hole, so she let him fall in to the water. This all occurred five hours ago and she doesn’t care whether or not Timmy is okay anymore. She’s leaving the family and is going to find the bunny farm and live there instead.
Hmm, leave Timmy to me.
Great. Now there’s a God that’s American, and one that is, judging by the structure of the above sentence, either foppishly British, or Foghorn Leghorn.
No, dear boy, I am over here, and alas, I lack any sort of divine capabilities.

Sorry about the girl next door, she totally came on to me!
I call mistaken identity! Whoops.
I call mistaken identity on the second email! Whoops.
That’s what I assumed.
Oh good, my wolf and beagle can howl at the neighbors as much as they want since I’m not held accountable by Christianity. I feel freed from guilt now.
No no, you see, it’s not your Christianity that they’re saying “so much for Christianity” for — the dog has clearly ruined their own religious rituals. “Gosh, I WOULD go to church, but I’ve got to write a nasty note to my neighbor about the barking dogs! SO MUCH FOR CHRISTIANITY!”
Dogs are an atheist plot!
On letter #1, God made dogs, dogs bark, God saw that it was good… hee hee hee. (Times that I love being a Christian.
)
On letter #2, Bryant needs a new girl and NEEDS to stop referring to his ex as his girlfriend. The author of the letter needs to learn a lesson but good in meddling. But that’s okay, because she doesn’t say if she’s a Christian or not, and I’m sure she’s not because Christians aren’t supposed to encourage gossip… hee hee hee… (Times that I don’t love being a Christian. o.O )
Lol!
BUT, the meddling part? It is not meddling when you are bringing something to the attention of another who maybe doesn’t know what is going on when they are not at home. My neighbors talked to me about my dogs and their barking while I wasn’t at home and I felt REALLY bad. It’s been a few years now, but they still thank me for being so understanding and doing something to solve the problem.
Unfortunately none of us can do anything about my OTHER neighbor who is and remains clueless about their barking dog despite the complaints made for over 4 years.
All the times he refers to her as “his girlfriend” are when it refers to the time when they were actually in the relationship, so I give him a pass.
“Ok… So I dated my girlfriend”
Because dating your ex-girlfriend would be stupid
He could have said “I had a girlfriend” or “I dated this girl,” but whatever
“I actually told my ex girlfriend about this”
Because it happened after they broke up; she’s now the ex-gf
“I never cheated on my girlfriend or anything.”
Referring to the time he was in the relationship – it would be difficult to cheat on an ex-girlfriend.
Anyway, I wonder who the intended recipient of Bryant’s letter was, or what the story was, why she sent that at all..
I think I’m more used to using the phrase… “the man I was dating at the time” or my “then boyfriend”…For example (and this is true), in my sophomore year of college, my then boyfriend would constantly use the term “girlfriend” for both his first ex-girlfriend and me. Needless to say, after several months, I ceased dating him.

Indeed.
After reading the note my guess is the neighbor with the dog made the first remark about christianity and the frustrated person who has to listen to some asshats dog bark all day just threw it back at them. Stupid people should not own pets.

Look, throwing them down wells and such does _not_ count as responsible disposal of your pet! Especially if they are still alive! And complaining to where you got them of course just gets them trying to keep the pet alive, even if you are just trying to complain about the pet not being as advertised.
If you want to get rid of your pet, take it to the pound like any other pet. Or find someone who _does_ want it. Sheesh. I’m surprised you haven’t had animal control called on you.
would rather they own pets than have children…… >.>
Could not agree more.
My favorite bit: “I’m sorry if I’m swearing and shit to you…”
“Dear Neighbor: I am a Christian, but my dog isn’t. I apologize for the inconvenience.”
Hahaha! I love it.
“Dear Neighbor: I am not a Christian, but my dog is. Out of consideration for my lack of faith, in the spirit of religious tolerance, he only sings his praises to Jesus when I am out.”

Oh when the saints… come marching in.. Oh when the saints come marching in…..
Rich- yours was my favorite comment!
Like the dogs care……
reminds me of the movie: “The New Homeowner’s Guide to Happiness”, 1988, with Demi Moore and Judge Reinhold , hil-fucking-arious.
The finally valumed the neighbors barking dogs…..didn’t work, tho….
as to the 2nd…..
yep, she’s crazy
gets my vote
1) Why are all the S’s money $igns? Does the barking cost money?
Barking dogs are annoying… and do warrant some kind of note… But maybe a nice one. And god shouldn’t be a part of it, I don’t think god cares about noise.
2) I’m fairly certain the ex did talk trash of some sort to this Lindsey person, and she has denied it because of the embarrassment factor. Otherwise, even though Lindsey is clearly crazy, she wouldn’t have had any reason to write at all.
the S button on the imaginary typewriter in this person’s head broke a long time ago
I h@te it when th@t h@ppens.
I wonder why the neighbor makes the S in BARKS and NEIGHBORS almost like a $ with the addition of serifs but not when he uses an S in other words.
I notice that too. I think, maybe, they were trying to do something like “neighbor/s.” As in… it’s not really bothering anyone but him… but, he wants to make it seem like it’s a nuisance to everyone.
Heehee, I noticed that as well. Consistency is not a key part of your lifestyle, your handwriting tells on you!
My S’s aren’t consistent either…when writing lowercase S’s, I use 2 different styles depending on where in the word the s is: If there are multiple S’s together, or if it’s at the end of a word or syllable, I use a cursive s. If it is the first letter in a word, syllable, or if it comes after an apostrophe, I use a printed s.
It’s not a conscious choice – I’m actually looking at a sample of my writing right now, lol.
Maybe this person has the same thing going on – if you notice, it’s only S’s at the ends of words that get the little embellishment, whereas the ones sandwiched between other letters just blend in.
Still a little odd.
It’s because the person writing the note can never remember whether a plural noun requires an apostrophe. So just in case, (s)he puts an apostrophe on the S. And just in case there isn’t, (s)he puts another one at the bottom to pass it off as a $.
As pimp as the $ plurals are, I was immediately drawn to the tear stain. That’s God, crying over the death of Christianity.
I just can’t can’t can’t believe this shit! Fucking Nazi Christians swearing and shit at each other! Un-fucking-believable! Oh, yeah, and DOWN WITH Christian Nazi dogs!
HEY!! We know we’re not supposed to bark when our Fuhrer is out! This was obviously commited by a dirty Jew mongrel, not worthy of the title of Dog.
DIDN’T DAVID BERKOWITZ BLAME THE NEIGHBORS BARKING DOG FOR DRIVING HIM TO KILL PEOPLE?
I forgot the 11th Commandment given to Moses at Sinai, recorded in the oft neglected 2nd Book of Opinions.
“Thou shalt be a good neighbor and restrain thy canines from barking when thou art out and about.” -2 Opinions, 4:67.
This raises a good point. The note-writer is complaining that the dog barks when the owner IS NOT HOME. So… I admit I’m a cat person and don’t really understand the nuances of dog ownership (they lost me at the part where you have to stand in the rain with a plastic bag over your hand while you wait for the dog to poop), but how is the dog owner supposed to tell the dog to be quiet when he and the dog are not in the same place? Does the notewriter expect the dog answer the phone or something?

Lassie says he and his own communicate telepathically, thereby, the owner not being home is not a problem.
Actually, Carl Sandberg says the 11th commandment is “Thou shalt not commit nincompoopery.” Similar, but much more broad, I can only assume in order to cover everything else Moses didn’t have time to write down.
Dear Letter-Writers:
Stop trying to associate with us. We really don’t want you and you’re starting to embarrass us.
~A sane Christian
Wait, you believe in an all-seeing, all-knowing, Loving, Fierce, God-Son-Holy-Ghost mothered by a virgin….
And you want us to believe you’re SANE?
Some things may have been lost in translation, but the gist is supposed to be “love thy neighbor, don’t be preachy and be not a pain in the ass unto others”. Besides, there’s stranger beliefs. I love it when a Scientologist comes to My gates.
St. Peter: “Guess what.” Scientologist: “Oh, crap.”
… not that I’d begrudge St. Pete a chuckle at some scientologist’s expense. He prolly needs it to break up the monotony of always having to go get the Chinese interpreter on staff so he can give the lost zen buddhists directions to nothingness.
“Oh, you want Nirvana? That’s the next exit.”
This definition of Christianity always makes me laugh – The belief that a cosmic Jewish Zombie who was his own father can make you live forever if you symbolically eat his flesh and telepathically tell him you accept him as your master, so he can remove an evil force from your soul that is present in humanity because a rib-woman was convinced by a talking snake to eat from a magical tree.
Well when you put it like that. I might join it afterall. It seems like a cool religion now. Can you be my Priest??
We’re on a beam here, Tom.
This description is an Epic win. I shall now steal it as my own. You, sir, are my new hero.
The humanist point of view is also funny: We’re nothing more than talking apes, we have no moral compass (do apes?)- so we should be able to do whatever we want, be entitled to whatever we want, and everyone else can do what they want. It’s ok to insult Christians, but not ok to insult Muslims. Love is relative, not universal. Sex is just two people letting off some steam- doesn’t matter who it’s with. All that’s left at the end of this life is a hole in the ground and perhaps a stone with your name on it. True progress would be disallowing certain genetic material to get through the ages (eugenics) and for everyone to believe the same way as us. We’d have an awesome, peace-filled, happy world if no one believed in God. There’d be nothing to argue about anymore! The world would be filled with unity in a common goal: survive as a species. That is until the universe collapses back in upon itsself and the cycle starts over again. LIVE IT UP!
I will take my peaceful, loving, Zombie any day. I don’t mind one bit having the ‘delusion’ or whatever that being good and kind to others has an Ultimate Reward, or that loving others is the highest form of beauty. That love is universal and everlasting. That the bad things in this world boil down to not trusting in the Zombie to take care of us. That disobedience sets us on a course of destruction just like the child that sticks it’s finger in an electrical outlet in spite of repeated warnings. I am quite happy in this life, doing my best to avoid getting my finger stuck in one, and looking forward to the day I can run to my daddy-Zombie’s arms and live in his palace forever. It’s much nicer than ‘humanist reality’ and less likely to drive me mad.
Wow. Your faith must be really weak if you get that upset over a post on a funny website. You should get somebody to pray for you about that.
You’re forgetting the Internet is serious business, we need some butthurt balm for this guy STAT. There is no humor on the Internet, lulz or GTFO.
Yeah, seriously. Why is it whenever I post something humorous, so many people get so upset? Stop taking yourselves so seriously. If a simple humorous post makes you so angry, you’ve got some massive faith issues. That or you’re ju$t irritable becau$e your neighbor’$ dog ha$ been keeping you awake all night. Lighten up and laugh a little.
Who ever said I was mad? *giggles madly*
The alternative to believing in god is… not believing in god. It is not a set of beliefs. You seem to think of atheism as some sort of religion. These (supposedly) ‘funny’ assumed beliefs you have cobbled together to ascribe to anyone who thinks that a collection of often (though not, I’ll concede, universally) awful, hate-filled, gay-hating misogynist stories made up by people who lived in a vastly different world and time to our own (or quite obviously stolen from earlier belief systems and myth-cycles) is a wonderful source of morality and guidance evidence a very unsophisticated understanding of what it is to be an atheist.
Your argument also seems to suggest ‘believing in a loving christian god is better than not doing so because a godless universe seems cold and depressing.’ This is a very strange and, arguably, dangerous position. Do you really let what you _want_ to believe affect what you believe? It seems the original post is begging for a nazi comments, so here’s another: The holocaust is a horrible thing to believe in. The universe seems much nicer without it, so let’s all believe that it didn’t happen.
Oh honey, you really ought to look up the definition of Religion. You are quite clearly religious.
You are devoted and proselytizing. It’s quite cute.
Wow, HushPuppie. I have a lot of religious faith, myself, but if I control for the ad hominem attacks you built into it, the first scenario you outlined sounds better to me. I was actually going to reply to Tom by saying that anything can sound like a ridiculous set of beliefs if you alter the language enough, but you ruined it when the most pejorative summary you could come up with still sounded reasonably positive.
Why is it I am supposed to be tolerant of gays, muslims, and people of different color yet its ok for people to bash those of us who are Christian. I have no problem with any of the above mentioned groups or anyone else except those who preach hatred and intolerance, which is in this case you sir(ma’am).
If I got on here and posted something racial or anti-gay my post would be moderated and I would probably be banned yet its ok to bash Christians or those who have faith in a higher power.
If you choose not to believe in God, fine thats your business. I’m not going to try to disuade you. But I will also show you respect and not mock your beliefs. I ask you for the same curteousy.
I really didn’t think “love thy neighbor” and “thou shalt not kill” were that difficult to understand. Of course, the more time goes on the more I think “thou shalt not proselytize” and “thou shalt not be total cuntflaps” probably should have made the final cut, but it is what it is. Sure, lots of people are jerks, but I’d just recommend doing to said jerks what Jon Stewart does to said jerks. I’m totally cool with that.
Eh, maybe you’ll get it right next time.
Epic fail! Homosexuality and the color of one’s skin are not choices. Those people can’t be anything but who they are, so discrimination against them is narrow minded and senseless. But making fun of Muslims is fair game as far as I’m concerned.
Oh shit, you just said homosexuality wasn’t a choice. I can sense christian fundamentalist heads exploding right now. Just like Michael Ironside’s head in Scanners. Seriously. Or perhaps that is just wishful thinking on my part.
Neither is my dislike of homosexuality a choice – people are born that way too.
Interesting concept — people are born ignorant?
What, were you born knowing how to read?
Nope, I was taught to read, just like you were likely taught to dislike gays.
Trust me, I like men.
Sorry, I read that as “guys”…anyway, I respect all the friends that I have that happen to be gay. Whenever they ask me if I think they are right on a certain aspect of their lifestyle choice, I tell them that I wouldn’t be a good support for them in that area. However, I am very happy that my friends are happy with their lifestyles.
So tell me, T-Rex — at what age did you “decide” to become heterosexual?
I think you are missing the point…dislike of a certain kind of extra-personal physical relations, is the opposite of a like of a certain kind of extra-personal physical relations. If you are going to say that you are born with your preferences supporting a specific kind, then you must also be born with your preferences against another kind. To be born into one preference and say that any other that dislikes or is naturally abhorred by the alternate options must choose to not be that way is very hypocritical. Either you are born in support or you are not or you choose to support or you do not.
>
That said, I choose not disclose further personal information on the subject.
Well, it appears I may have misconstrued your statement about disliking homosexuality. I’m not sure I followed your argument, but it looks like you are saying that you personally do not like homosexuality — that is, you personally do not want to have sex with a member of the same sex. Beyond that, you’re cool with it? Seems like a thin backstep, at best. Why do you assume that If you are born with your preferences supporting a specific kind, then you must also be born with your preferences against another kind? Life as I know it is not black and white and, in my personal experience, the shades of gray are infinite. As much as I would like to impose my own rules of black and white on things, things just never seem to work out that way. Your assumption that an attraction to one thing must logically encompass having an equal and opposite loathing for the opposite of that thing is flawed — this isn’t physics and I don’t think there is any support for your argument.
I would say this…I personally do not prefer any facet of the homosexual lifestyle, however those involved in those lifestyles are still people and should be treated with respect as deserving as any person.
>
I am fascinated by the spectrum concept of gender preference, draw a line on a piece of paper, on the left end is a straight person as straight as can be… on the right end of it is the exact opposite. Most people fall somewhere on that line, some in the middle, some on the right. Where the person is placed on that line is exactly what they prefer, and nothing different. So, but scope of reasoning, you would exclude all else except the preference in finding exactly what you prefer; any degree of gay, straight, bi, transsexual.
I don’t ever understand why people get so upset about homosexuality. It’s a complete non-issue with me; it just plain doesn’t come up in my thought process. I meet a person, and they’re just that – a person. Hating someone because of their sexuality is just as stupid as hating someone because of the country they came from or the color of their skin. It is beyond me to come even close to comprehending how people can be so ignorant to do this. Just leave other people alone. Go about your life existing, and I can guarantee you that these people will go about theirs the same.
The fact that people can muster up enough energy to go about forming groups to hate others just floors me. I can’t muster up enough energy to get eggs when I run out, but these people will meet once a week to talk about how much they hate other people, stand around in big groups with signs letting everyone else know that they hate these people, and join websites to talk with others about how much they hate this other group. It’s pathetic. I just don’t get it. It seems to me they use so much effort to hate, how can they enjoy their own life? When do they even find the time to be happy?
@Tom — I couldn’t agree more. Well said.
@Tom I agree with you as well. I am shocked at this point in history with our pride in “equality” and “freedom” that this kind of thing is even up for debate. It really does not effect anyone else, unlike the favored argument of anti-gays that it is some kind of contageous disease. I also agree with the statement about how rediculous it is that they waste all this energy hating. Imagine if all these people took all that energy and used it to do something helpful in their communities or the world? Maybe volunteer to help people in need? Or any other number of things. They may think what they are doing is helping their communities but all they are doing is breeding intolerance and hatred. I wonder if this is really the sort of message they want their kids to gain from them. ‘We only love or like people who fit into our excepted norm, even if they are otherwise morally acceptable people just going about their lives, their sexual preferences are so offensive that I must stand outside and insult and deprave them for all to see so they wont “scar” future generations.’ I can’t fathom this kind of loathing for another person based on their life choices. It’s one thing to want to get rid of a killer or the like, but homosexuals? Really? With all the stuff going on in the world today, THAT is a problem? That is an issue worth devoting your time to? I just don’t get it.
@Galad2003: “Why is it I am supposed to be tolerant of gays, muslims, and people of different color …”
… because your religion tells you to be tolerant and “love thy neighbor as thyself.” Sorry, but those are your own religion’s rules.
“…yet its ok for people to bash those of us who are Christian. ”
Again – because your religion tells you to “turn the other cheek.”
If you have a problem with this, I suggest you take it up with the Pope. The current one might even be more sympathetic than the last one.
It’s OK to bash any group you nominally belong to. It’s when you start to bash things you have no experience or understanding of that you get in trouble. Personally I think all organized religion is generally bad, the different groups tend to turn on each other and make a huge mess of things, but personal religion is generally good. It tends to make us strive to improve ourselves or feel at peace with who we are. I am personally not religious, though I would like to find something I could believe in, it would probably make me a happier person. Sadly I find I can’t reconcile religion and reality and reality is too pervasive ignore.
Wait, wait…”This” definition? Which definition would that be? The one you put down? The one you’re assuming the author of the dog note holds? Or the crazy e-mailer? Or both? Or did someone previously say something about Zombie deities in the comments? And why do EFCP comments so frequently mix zombies and religion? We really tend to congregate around those two topics…
The zombie reference makes perfect sense, and I’m a bit pissed at myself for not thinking of it before. A zombie is a dead person resurrected from the dead. Jesus was a dead person resurrected from the dead. Thus, Jesus was a zombie. As simple as that!
Looooooooove thy neighbooooooooor’s braaaaaaaaaaaaaaaains…
I almost shot my drink out through my nose. Thanks.
I am not worthy to receive you, but only say the word and I shall be… brainz?!
*_* *gigglesnort*
hahaha I love Zombie Jesus jokes!
Yup, everyone in the office officially knows that i am not doing a licl of work now that I am giggling at Our-Father-Who-Art-A-Zombie.
A zombie, good sir, can be all kinds of things, and may in fact be living but unable to function normally because of a disabling virus (or an ancient Sumerian demon), or dead and re-animated by something (like the aforementioned viruses). None of the gospel writers (apocryphal or canonical) suggest that Jesus was re-animated by a virus or a demon, but rather brought miraculously back to life my supernatural powers that allowed him to function, as before, like a conscious and sentient being. That’s all I’m saying. While the zombie references to Jesus are funny, they’re not accurate and don’t really “make total sense.” Because there’s resurrection from the dead…and then there’s the undead. Not the same.
Both are fictional characters, so what are we arguing about???
“Jesus” is not fictional. He’s got more correlative evidence for his existence than Plato does. The Resurrection, now that is up for debate, as it’s a matter of faith.
Frankenstein’s Monster= Fictional
However, just because Marie Antoinette didn’t ever actually say “Let them eat cake”, she still existed. Marie Antoinette =/= Fictional
Has anyone looked for correlative evidence of Plato’s existence? More of a rhetorical question, I guess. Anyway, I honestly have not looked into the research of whether a person named Jesus existed, and I don’t really care — my point is that the character in the bible named Jesus is pure fiction. The bible is a fine work of fiction, but it is just that: fiction.
Yes, of course people have looked into Plato’s existence. Also, try doing a little research before you spout off. There’s plenty of evidence for the people surrounding the stories in the new testament. It’s recorded from secular and pagan sources that Jesus was a ‘wonder worker’ etc. In fact, there’s nothing in writings at the time to disprove anything written in the New Testament, down to the sky darkening during his crucifixion. The new testament was written far too soon after Jesus’ death (for heaven’s sake, people who actually spoke to him wrote it!) and the level of accuracy between modern versions and the oldest manuscripts we’ve found is simply astounding. Worlds better than other historical works. So your conclusion is based upon an accusation that the folks who wrote it were purely embellishing and lying from the moment of his death. Quite an accusation considering so many folks thought to mention an nobody carpenter from a backwoods town who for some reason incurred the wrath of Jewish leaders and Rome.
Why would I do a little research on the alleged existence of Jesus? Whether or not a flesh and blood guy named “Jesus” existed back then remains completely irrlevant to my point. Regardless, you are right that I’m not well versed on the collective psychosis that led to such a fantastical story. I still believe that the book is a work of fiction and you obviously want to believe otherwise, so have at it.
*
I guess the point here is that I do know enough about christianity to make a rational decision that I will not be subscribing to that faith. Absent a full frontal lobotomy, I’m simply not gonna be following that herd.
@HushPuppie: “(for heaven’s sake, people who actually spoke to him wrote it!) ” People speak to him *today* so I don’t know that that proves anything. If you mean people who spoke WITH him wrote it, that’s different. I’m no Bible scholar, and I’m definitely not a believer, to be certain – there are just too many premises I find insurmountable – but I’ve read that the first books of the New Testament were written around AD 45, which would be 10-15 years after Christ’s death.
I may have existed, but between all the ouzo and tantric sex with Socrates it’s mostly a blur.
I used to love it in philosophy classes when people would try to rationalize the belief in Christ as a psychosis. Some people have to be able to “grasp” or physically rely on their surroundings or trust what “facts” are presented as truths as overall excepted truths. The fact is for all you don’t know, we may be just some brain in a vat being prodded with electrical signals that tell us “what” to perceive. You can’t disprove whether you are a brain in a vat but, you can’t prove it either. You can grasp for what you wish and call the Bible a fiction. However, you can’t really prove the Bible is fiction because you weren’t there when the books were being written and we know little about the authors.
@firefly
And people didn’t live longer than 10-15 years past Jesus’ death? 0_o
I spoke to my grandpa, and he died 10-15 years ago. I can most definitely record facts about his life with others who spoke to him, since… well… we aren’t dead. Logic Fail!
@ UGH:
“Absent a full frontal lobotomy, I’m simply not gonna be following that herd.”
Hahahahahahhaha… And you are not following a herd. How cute! I guess you like your current herd much better than mine because… well… ? and ?
Just hope for your sake I’m not right
Please don’t confuse yourself with a ‘free-thinker’ or ‘open-minded’ because you are most certainly neither of those. You are spitting out what you’ve been taught and told, following the Modern Herd. I like my Herd much better.
I love you. That’s what my herd is about. Loving YOU.
@HushPuppie: Alright, lemme put it another way. Life expectancies in Roman times were something like 35-40 years. (I don’t accept it as fact that people in the bible lived to be 900 – that strikes me more as an attempt at marketing their faith, and it would work very well indeed on even the modestly gullible of that period.) So if someone without a college education of utterly rustic upbringing in a scientifically backward time period witnesses something and writes about it fifteen years later, I am HIGHLY inclined to doubt it’s going to be a 100% accurate account.
Take, for example, the darkening of the sky you mention. Today we know the sky can be darkened by something called “clouds.” Even eclipses, if you want to be dramatic. So Jesus gets put up on a cross, and a cloud passes in front of the sun, throwing the onlookers into shadow. Yes, if I were sufficiently naive and had no other information with which to construct a more rational explanation, I might say “ZOMG, an invisible man in the sky is unhappy with what just happened!!” Furthermore, the notoriety I’d get for retelling that story over the years might make me embellish it before I finally got around to recording it a decade and a half later. But I think it’s logically fallacious to take the word of someone that uneducated from two millennia ago as proof of Christ’s divinity, or to take every word in the Bible as absolute truth because the Bible says it is. The logic fail is yours.
One other thing about the purported accuracy of the bible: last I heard, men are, by definition, fallible. Men wrote the bible. Are you telling me the bible cannot contain mistakes? These men were, in fact, infallible when they wrote it? I call bullshit on that concept (and many other thing, but I’ll stick to this one for now). Oh yeah, and all the translators were infallible, too? Bullshit.
@HushPuppie — the fact that you say you love me creeps me out beyond description. I most certaionly do not love you (never met you, don’t plan on meeting you), and my gut instinct on all people is that, until I have specific reason to believe otherwise, they suck ass.
@ firefly Wow. This is tedious. You really just believe everything you hear, don’t you.
AVERAGE lifespan in those days was 30-40. Remember that plenty more people died as children, or in childbirth- skewing the average. The poor were most likely to live short lives, again skewing the average. Plenty of people lived longer lives- http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paul_the_Apostle even when their lives were CUT SHORT- as in, this fellow lived 72 years before he was KILLED. You also forget that most of history is oral tradition that is later written down. The timeframe we are talking about here is MUCH shorter than other historical records.
That said, I am not discussing anything on this thread any further (Queue the “Hallelujahs”).
Just… I don’t know- think for yourself some time and be open minded. You can’t believe everything that people tell you.
@ UGH.
It says much more about you than me that you are incapable of loving someone you have never met. There are so many different definitions of Love. In Christianity there are roughly four different definitions for it, all in Greek words: Agape- the whole hog deep and abiding love that is selfless and sacrificial. That’s the love God has for us.
Phileo- it is a sort of joyful, brotherly love
Eros- that is the sexual love, passion
Storge- Parent/Child relationship love.
The love I feel for you is Phileo- the sort of joyful love that would cause me to be sad if you were experiencing hardship. The gladness that you were born and have lived and a hope for your future to be bright.
Feel free to feel nothing for me, for my feeling for the people around me has nothing to do with reciprocated Phileo-love. My heart is certainly big enough to love everyone on this earth to some degree.
That said, Have a good life y’all and peace-out.
Am I the only one here who sees the irony in a person who believes in God due to two-thousand-year-old accounts which were, by her own admission, based on oral tradtion, telling me “Just… I don’t know- think for yourself some time and be open minded. You can’t believe everything that people tell you.” ‘cuz that just made milk shoot out of my nose, and I haven’t had any milk in over eight years.
If you’re going to claim that Jesus was real, I’m going to claim that zombies are real.
http://science.howstuffworks.com/zombie1.htm
You’re wrong about the New Testament being written by people who spoke with Jesus. The earliest Gospel was written no less than ninety years after his death. There are other, hypothetical documents like Q and proto-Mark upon which they are supposed to have been based, which can be used to push back the dates of authorship of the actual content of the Gospels, but the fact remains that the Gospels themselves were far-removed from the life of Jesus.
That said, I’d also point out to UGH that no rational person who cares about whether what he’s saying is true or false would assert that Yeshua of Nazareth never existed in the first place.
Holy jesus fuck me christ, you are dense. Just to clarify (once again): I don’t give a flying superfuck if “Yeshua of Nazareth” was a flesh and blood real-life person way back when. What I do care about is the fact that fantastical stories about Jesus (such stories being absolute fantasy bullshit) are believed as true by such an astonishing number of people. It’s kinda like all of the Scientologists taking the writings of a crappy science fiction author as gospel.
Okay, coupla points:
1) This is the first I’ve commented on this topic, so your judgment of my density based on a sample space of one is pretty impressive.
2) My reply was not to you, and I did not mention you by name, so I don’t quite understand why you made my comments, which were primarily against HushPuppie, about you. I am only now mentioning you when I tell you to go fuck yourself.
3) Now, if you do want to make this about you, you first said “both are fictional characters, so what are we arguing about???” Then reiterated “the character in the bible named Jesus is pure fiction.” Later, you implied that you might be a confused about the topic, by pointing out that you “honestly have not looked into the research of whether a person named Jesus existed,” but still referred to “the alleged existence of Jesus.” Now, I’m ever so sorry if I mistook your meaning, but even when you’re hedging your bets, it seems like you’re denying the existence of the actual human being. Somebody else mentioned Socrates and Plato, so I’ll stick with that. Was Socrates “pure fiction” or an actual guy? Because about half of what Plato wrote about him was pure horseshit. Still, I would assert that the fact that fiction was written about him doesn’t mean he forfeits his claim to having once been alive. See, I think you’re just trying to make it seem as though you never uttered a false word. If you’d said “the Bible is fiction,” that would be one thing, but you didn’t; you said “Jesus is a fictional character.” There’s a difference, just as there is a difference between saying “the Iliad is fiction” and “Troy was a make-believe place.”
4) Lastly, a question, and really the most important point. Do you always, even in real life, fly off the handle this easily, you spectacular douchebag?
Um… Edward? Your item #2 pretty clearly shows that you are either a troll or a total retard. Lemme quote your original post: “That said, I’d also point out to UGH…. ” Hmmm. I vote retard, but troll is the more likely candidate. Thanks for playing though!
I forgot that I inserted that comment. Everyone makes mistakes. Your commentary around here has not exactly demonstrated flawlessness, either. I have never in my life encountered a more complete asshole than you.
@Edward
That’s not a very Christian thing to say now, is it? WWZBJT? What would zombie baby Jesus think?
UGH, I really really wish you (not that you’re the only one…just picking on you tonight) would use your right to free speech more productively. You don’t have to assert over and over and over that the Bible is fiction and Jesus’s life was a work of fiction, especially in insulting and profane terms. You can say it once – you don’t believe it, you think it’s fictional – and let it go. It’s totally needless to keep rebutting the rebuttals with the same statements. If other people believe it, let them. Let them say it without feeling the need to tell them they’re wrong. Unless you are House, M.D., the “all religious people are stupid, irrational fanatics” bit gets old. And it’s only interesting on the show because it’s always in dialogue.
Could you do me a favor and explain what you mean by more productively? Do you mean that free speech is much better when people you disagree with shut up? If my comments make you uncomfortable (which they appear to do), then good. Thanks for the lecture, though! Your opinion matters. And by your opinion matters, I mean piss off.
See – that. Why do you get so defensive? Why do you have to be rude? Why can’t you calmly and KINDLY discuss things with people? Your comments don’t make me uncomfortable, they make me think that you’re an ignorant jerk. When you start talking about religion, you start ranting and you get less and less coherent as you get madder. When I say “productive” I mean try disagreeing with people but trying to understand their viewpoint and trying to explain to them why you disagree without swearing, insulting, and generally being unpleasant. It’s not that hard to do. You give the impression that Christianity makes you angry because deep down you’re really scared that maybe you’re wrong about religion and if you are, you think you’re screwed. If that’s not true of you, then maybe you should try a different approach to the discussions, because you sound insecure.
Jesus wasn’t a Zombie, he was a vampire. They’re undead too. He resurrected Lazarus long before he himself was resurrected, probably by a bite to the neck! I bet he didn’t sparkle though…
ROFL
Quick Harry, Kill Him Before He Starts to Sparkle!!!!!!
I read a story centered around the idea that Laz was a vampire. I also watched a horrible movie that the first vampire was really Judas… (Dracula 2000…spare yourself)
But you might actually have an argument there… some people have agreed with you! ^_^
Holy F! This movie! I was having a hard time taking it seriously but I lost it completely when he spewed out that cliche` one liner…”I do not drink……coffee.” Down with bad vampire films…which is most of them I’m afraid.
The vampire angle is interesting. Coupled with the zombie aspect, I think it’s interesting that Catholics even today are expected to eat his flesh and drink his blood.
I totally just FB-quoted you.
Well, in that case…my savior is cooler than your savior! Oh wait! You don’t have a savior!
Wow, it didn’t take very long to bring out the Christian-haters, did it? I love when people criticize Christianity for faults that can be attributed to just about any religion or belief system. I am not a Christian, but to suggest that Christianity makes any less sense than any other rleigion, or atheism, is unsupportable.
Christians are the only group left that it is societally OK to abuse for fun. Had you made similar comments about Jews, blacks, Muslims, Latinos, you’d lose your job, wife, and have to register as a “hate crime offender.”
Nah, I’m pretty sure we can still make fun of fat people.
Next up is smokers…
I’m a fat former smoker, and you can make fun of me! That’s ’cause my skin is thicker than tissue paper, so I don’t mind.
When you get a chance, make fun of a Muslim. Especially make fun of The Prophet (PBUH). *snork* Watch the fun ensue. Then talk to me about thin skin.
If you think that’s chaotic, wait ’til the suicide bombers check the fine print on the virgins clause. Ever notice that the gender and appearance of the virgins gets kinda glossed over in discussion…?
*snork* Well, there’s something about virgins and YOUTHS. Youths being boys. And Muslims say homosexuality is sentence-able by death… Or maybe the Youths are for the lady mujadeen..? Who knows.
Now the question is, how old are these virgins? Are they young and fresh like Aisha was for Old Fart Muhammad? 9 years old is a great match for 50-something. Maybe all the guys get young Aishas when they participate in Jihad.
They are all 68-year-old men from Papua New Guinea.
Gee, psycho bashing, on EMAILS FROM CRAZY PEOPLE… I never thought THAT could happen.
Golly…..I’m going to have to rethink my whole position of tolerance and respect again!
Once again, your critical thinking skills need some work. “Christians are the only group left that it is societally OK to abuse for fun. Had you made similar comments about Jews, blacks, Muslims, Latinos, you’d lose your job, wife, and have to register as a “hate crime offender.”
*
You are wrong on all points. Scientologists, anything to do with Kabbalah, buddhists, anything to do with Hari Krishna, Pagans — all of these are still societally ok to abuse for fun. The thing that distinguishes these groups (and jews and muslims) is that they are all in the minority in the U.S. Christians are the largest religious denomination in this country and, as far as I am concerned, it makes them a completely legitimate target. Furthermore, I would argue that jews and muslims are in fact legitimate targets for criticism, too, but the PC police is much more active with minorities than with majority groups. Blacks and latinos do not belong in this debate as race is a far different matter than religion.
*
I would not have a problem with christians if they would keep it to themselves. But no, many christians feel obligated to do everything in their power to shove their belief system down my throat and, for that, I will always despise them and lash out. Period. You want to flagellate yourself in public about prayers in public schools, the 10 commandments being posted in public buildings, and participate in other religious zealotry and douchebaggery, then you and your kind will remain a permanent target for me.
I think you would have a hard time backing up your claim that the majority of Christians are pushing their religion in your face. You could go your whole life and not even meet the majority of Christians in your home state. Yes, there are Christians who proselytize in an obnoxious and disrespectful way, but that’s no different than the minority of people in every group who are asshats. Trashing Christianity just makes you look like the asshat.
I did forget about fat people and smokers though.
Please note that my reference to “many christians” does not equal “a majority of christians”. Anyway, this goes way beyond proselytizing in an obnoxious manner — I’m also talking about the religious right (who claim to represent the majority, although they are in fact just a vocal minority). I don’t care how you want to frame the issue, but pushing bans on same sex marriage is simply a matter of christian fanatics attempting to shove their hatred of gays down America’s throat. If your church wants to shun gays, then so be it, but such prohibitions have no place in the laws of a country that purports to have a separation of church and state. As long as such fanatics and obnoxious proselytizers exist, I’m going to try to make a point of getting in their face about it.
I think you would have a hard time backing up your claim that the majority of Christians are pushing their religion in your face.

And please ignore my last three sentences — I was gonna quote stuff but didn’t, and then I just forgot to delete it. Argh.
yes… Christian proselytizing is much more annoying than “Convert or DIE, INFIDEL.”
Bah. I don’t really proselytize myself. I know I don’t do well on the internets with my words, but in real life I try my best to just be the best sort of friend (to anyone, whether or not I agree with their lifestyle) and just make it clear what I am. I don’t tell my friends “Come to Jesus or burn in hell”
I just try to live my life in a way that Jesus would want me to. Again, I fail at that when posting on the internet. Really though, what Jesus taught was not so much telling people “accept Jesus or burn in hell” it was “Go out and love people. Live your life as I do. I love you, so love others. (And don’t be a dick)”
You should know that for a Christian friend who comes and pleads for you to be a Christian, it is out of love. It’s because they want to hang with you in heaven, and are scared you won’t be able to.
Far cry from “Sura (9:123) – O you who believe! Fight those of the unbelievers who are near to you and let them find in you hardness”
Jus’ sayin’.
@HushPuppie: If that’s how you live your life, then I’m glad to hear it. I personally would probably not find you odious to be around. The minute you try to “convert” me, though, there would be issues.
Re: yes… Christian proselytizing is much more annoying than “Convert or DIE, INFIDEL.”
There is historical basis for Christians behaving in such a fashion; for reference, look up “Crusades, The” in your encyclopedia. Also “Inquisition, Spanish.”
As for “Sura (9:123) – O you who believe! Fight those of the unbelievers who are near to you and let them find in you hardness” – sorry, my hardness only goes into people I LIKE.
Is “Let them find in you hardness” really so much worse than, for example, Leviticus, chapter 20, verses 11 through 14?
“The man who lies with his father’s wife has uncovered his father’s nakedness; both of them shall be put to death; their blood is upon them. If a man lies with his daughter-in-law, both of them shall be put to death; they have committed perversion, their blood is upon them. If a man lies with a male as with a woman, both of them have committed an abomination; they shall be put to death; their blood is upon them. If a man takes a wife and her mother also, it is depravity; they shall be burned to death, both he and they, that there may be no depravity among you.”
I’m just sayin’.
And do you even know or care about the context that verse was in?
It’s not hard to back up that Christians push their religion in your face. It’s called ‘Saving Souls’, last I heard.
And there’s more than a few branches of that religion (and the great One God they follow in different forms) that practice that procedure.
Some of whom knock on my door and ask if I believe in God on Sunday morning at 8 A.M. Let me tell you, that is a time I believe in cursing at God, and about God. But I still wouldn’t say I -believe- in God, or anything other than coffee at that hour.
I think it’s perfectly legitimate that you dislike Christians who shove it down your throat, it’s annoying, disrespectful, and totally un-christian. That being said, hating all Christians is kinda narrow-minded and baseless. That being said I only know one religion, the hearty love of man and God. I have no problem with your beliefs, or anyone’s for that matter, but I do find it a bit unsettling that some people are so violently against or for their beliefs.
That’s because Christians ruled the world for 50 billion years and participated in ritual slaughter of everyone who argued with them. Now it’s their turn to be verbally abused.
Don’t be silly. The Christians can’t have ruled the world for even one billion years, because they believe the world is only 7-10 thousand years old.
Haha! Good come back!

Apologies for being pedantic but I’d like to point out that Lindsey swore 12 times (not counting ‘ass’) and then said ‘freaking’ once. Way to try and balance out the swearing.
Bryant, “Lindsey ***” totally sounds like a dude. Do chicks really say “grow some fucking balls” and “dead, fucking wrong man?” I can see a girl saying this every once in awhile, but the letter reads like a dude wrote it, maybe Bryant.
Yes, chicks really do say “grow some fucking balls”. Some have also been known to say “You’re breaking my balls”, “that’s a kick in the nuts” and “dead fucking wrong man”. Colloquialism doesn’t really tend to be gender specific these days.

*sigh* Great, where’s Timmy stuck this week?
Ok, first letter, crazy, sure.
But the second one just sounds like she got the person she sent it to mixed up with someone else. (“I believe we have met in the book store before, either way, that’s not the point.” Turns out that was the point.) If the person she intended to send it to acts like Mr. Family Values and then cheats on his girlfriend, then I think calling him a hypocrite is justified.
“I’m sorry if I’m swearing and shit” is the most half assed apology I’ve ever seen. Since she obviously typed this, she had the opportunity to change all the swears before hitting print or send. Ergo she really isn’t sorry.
personally i would really like to respond to an email like the above with corrections and suggestions for better insults
some days, I really have comments for the crazies, but to this all I have to say is: oooookaaaaay then.
I think Lindsey wrote the dog barking note. If you notice, the ink is smudged between the “a” and “n” in constantly then right under that, the “a” in “are” is smudged as well. My guess is tears. She was just that distraught over Brian’s and Sarah’s break up and she needed to blow off some more steam.
The two hand writings on the letter are clearly different. “So much for Christianity” was written by a different person. Not saying the person who received the note wrote it him/herself, but it wasn’t the original author.
So you’re suggesting it’s graffiti. Hmm, a possibility. But no – the handwriting IS identical. But it raises the issue of insanity due to sabotage. (Our eBay friend might fit this diagnosis.) Do they have medications for that?
How can you say the hand writing is identical?The first part of the letter was written by someone who make some of the letters in two strokes of the,marker,in this case.The second part of the letter was written by someone who makes all of their letters in one continuous stroke.It’s pretty douchebaggy to correct someone who is so obviously dead right.It might be possible that the author might not always make his/her letters the same way every time so it could be one author,though I doubt it.You struck a nerve with me,I just hate carelessness when it comes to wasting other peoples time.So there!
My favorite part: ” I believe we have met in the book store before, either way, that’s not the point.” Probably while browsing the self-help section.
Bob Barker says “Have your pet spayed or neutered and baptized in the name of the Lord.”

I swear…you are barking mad…
If that first one was directed towards me I would post in reply ” I am a terrible Christian but an excellent satanist”
Which team jersey are we wearing today, Sybil?
=)
I let my dog bark all day. I put her in the back porch and, when she stops barking for a while, I go check if everything is okay. She sees me and back on barking.
By the way, all dogs will go to haven with no questions asked.
“May God have mercy on your soul”.
Why do I immediately imagine Zool? I mean, cue the lightning and the scary white eyes, this chick is out to get you, man! xD

Yes?
You owe Me $50 for the World Series, Zuul. Told you I could get the Phillies to throw it more convincingly than the Yanks.

Lindsey probably needs to be checked out for schizophrenia. It sounds like she mixed up a random couple she vaguely knew of with something she saw in a soap opera. Of course for literacy she seems to have a one-up on the idiot who randomly uses dollar signs for S’s.
The SOUND of Lindsey’s letter is of ghost-writing for Jack Daniels or Jim Beam. But the lack of gross typos refutes that. Therefore, verdict suggested is that she’s a nutcase taking a vacation from her meds.
In answer to the title, come to think of it, yeah! I just remembered this: Exodus 11:7, New International Version:
“But among the Israelites not a dog will bark at any man or animal.’ Then you will know that the LORD makes a distinction between Egypt and Israel.”
(The Hebrew is more like “a dog shall not whet its tongue” I think)
So maybe that’s what this guy is thinking?
Nah, I don’t think so either.

Timmy was going to be the next Mussolini anyway. Ever seen fascist Canadians? It can happen.
And good riddance to him. We all got sick of saving his ass. You’d think the little prick would have learned to stop getting himself caught underneath and inside of things eventually. Natural selection has served its purpose.
You know what’ll cheer you up, Lassie? A nice crunchy bone. I was just out by the well, and…. well, don’t ask where I got it.
MMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM WUFFF
(Dogs may be smart animals, but clearly they have no capacity for irony. Oh well… she’ll figure it out soon enough that she’s chomping on Timmy’s femur.)
WUFF mmmmmmmmmmmm
What’s with making the “S” look like “$” ???
I like we see what they really worship
I think the first letter-writer is just dyslexic and thinks Christians worship Dog.
WUFF !
Anyone notice the inconsistencies in the handwriting in the dog post. This is not, as best I can tell, the handwriting of one individual.
This reminds me of the age old question “If a dog barks in the woods, and no one is around to hear it, is it God’s fault?” wait….that doesn’t sound right.
Thous shall not bark. I’m sure it’s in the Bizzaro Bible some where….

That’s right, girl. Not to mention the squirrels.
This is the internet. Remember, kids: SERIOUS FUCKING BUSINESS.
Ok, I have laughed until my sides hurt, feel sorry for a few, and truly wonder how some bloggers survived puberty. But, I had to comment on Christians “believe the world is only 7-10 thousand years old”
Actually, If you read Genesis, “…The Earth was void and without form…”It doesn’t say how long it was before God moved across the face of the earth. Now, taking into account T-Rex, etc, natural distruction of life on earth billions of years ago is completely plausible. And further more, it doesn’t say how long Adam & Eve were in the Garden of Eden before they screwed up. 1 year, 1000 years who knows. I am a christian, but really frown upon those Bible-thumpers that think its their opinion and no other.
UGH.. I repect your choice not to believe what I believe, but I am curious, why so much hatred? Did someone hurt you and blame it on their “Christian beliefs”? Regardless, there are a few of us out there that aren’t out to condemn you.
