Came for Church Lady, leaving satisfied.

That is a metric ass load of derptitude right there.

/satire?

Well the GOP is full of obstructionists, and Satan is the obstructor. So, he should be proud.

Lost Thought 00: /satire?

ChristianWire? Yeah. It'll take a few posts for the majority OTT to realize that though.

Still, Poe's law and all that.

reading that hurt my brain

Bucky Katt: The moonbats are out in full force today. Is there a full moon tonight?

Checks lunar calender. Holy crap on a cracker, full moon was last night.

Snapper Carr: Lost Thought 00: /satire?

Actually,. scratch that. This is ChristianNewsWire. I get those two mixed up.

This one's strangely serious.

Weaver95: this is what happens when you let cultists into your political party....

Isn't it arguable that the modern GOP is the cult, and that they are using other Western religions (no Muslims, Buddhists, or Hindus need apply) as the co-opt for the greater god, political power? Kind of taking the energy and fervor and re-channeling it into a new belief structure loosely aligned with the former religions' ideas?

Bucky Katt: The moonbats are out in full force today. Is there a full moon tonight?

*checks lunar calendar* Yup, full moon yesterday when that article was written o.0

Satan also stands on a platform for a soul-based economy.

/yes I know its like '99 old but too bad.

As per the rules, this can only be settled in a Rommey, Satan Rockoff.

Is ChristianWire the same as ChristWire? Hadn't heard of it before today

Lol, I heard it in the Church Ladies voice as well.

A vote for Romney is a vote for Satan
Make a nice bumper sticker right there.

Christians saying mormons aren't christian is like non-christians saying christians are pagans.

It's all a bunch of crap anyway. Aw screw it.

Waiting for the Mormon's to start screaming

HELP, WE'RE BEING OPPRESSED

Until then, STFU you stupid christian cult-leading cocksucker

my religion is NOT a cult. the other religions are all cults. MY GOD SAYS SO, AND MY GOD'S IS NOT SATAN

But isn't God always the one who tells them to run in the first place?

DROxINxTHExWIND: Diogenes: Rev. Skarekroe: I'm conflicted.
On one hand, I dislike bigotry. On the other hand, if bigotry splits the Republican vote (or causes many of them to not vote at all) and keeps the right wing out of the White House for four more years I'm not going to complain.

Yeah, it's regrettable that bigotry could significantly affect anyone's chances at office. But just like encouraging democracy abroad, we can't say it doesn't count when "our people" don't win.

So, boo on Keller.


*Sigh* I agree. Bigotry is bigotry and it should never be tolerated. Even when the person being discriminated against is reprehensible.

While generally I agree with this, I also think that being a Mormon should be a disqualifier for the position of POTUS. If you believe that Joseph Smith BS then you're too much of an idiot to have even marginal control over the reins of power.

/of course this is also true of all other religions, but especially Mormons.

maxwellton: But isn't God always the one who tells them to run in the first place?

he does love to fark with them. He and Jees are ROTFLTAO right now.

And it begins.

The great thing about politics in general is that there is little medium-to-long-term memory. Remember when Mitt's dad, George, gave it a good run back in '68? No? Well, he pretty much short-circuited his own chances fairly early on by being an idiot, but had he continued to be a front-runner, he would have been smothered in an anti-Mormon avalanche, maybe even worse than Mitt will, considering the LDS church's track record back then (not like it's all that much better now, but you get my drift).

Mitt's going to continue to get eviscerated by fundie Righties, especially when they start getting organized, and it's going to be a mess. A glorious glorious mess. Frothy even. I'll have a lot of fun watching this year play out.

I kinda think they waited too long to fully obtain their objective; if they do end up subverting Mitt's run, there will be no one to replace him. Gee, what a shame.

I love the fact that Bill Keller, who wrote this... article? press release? work of fiction? extensively quotes Bill Keller in the piece. Totally legit.

Doesn't it just seem more whacko due to it being within living memory in its creation? Is there really anything more sane than believing in a zombie that was taken intact up to heaven to be with his father god, of whom he actually is at the same time? I think familiarity with the "old religions" leads to some funny judgements and acceptance. I don't find Mormonism any more absurd than any other branch of magical thinking, personally.

Satan: his wife did it!

To be honest, Satan probably would be a good republican candidate, given that he has run a tight ship now for how many years now and has never taken or needed government funding, and doesn't need to buy into any kind of socialized medicine schemes or pay into the ponzi scheme that is social security, and gets most of the employees to work for cheap.

However, he probably doesn't allow concealed carry at work, so he'd be treated as a left-wing whacko by most of the GOP.

Alphakronik: That is a metric ass load of derptitude right there.

An Ass-Load in metric is referred to as a "Poo-Ton".


The more you know.

I like Old Testament Satan where Satan and God were always making these wild bets and playing the humans off of one another because they were bored.

"Hey God what do you say we ruin this guy's life to prove a point"

"Well, Luci, old pal, I do have a golf game at 3, but what the hey?! I can always push it back, and I really never tire of the magnifying glass on ants game. What's a magnifying glass? Don't worry about it, you'll find out in a few centuries. Let's get to the torture!"

The best thing about the internet is that it's a truly democratizing medium, in which every person can have a voice.

I knew this because I play Team Fortress 2.

/one can wear the special Halloween items on the full moon (and the day before and after), and there is a special full moon background on the menu screen

Apparently the author, who I hear is the leading evangelical preacher or something, doesn't know the difference between a non-Christian and a heretic.

DROxINxTHExWIND: *Sigh* I agree. Bigotry is bigotry and it should never be tolerated. Even when the person being discriminated against is reprehensible.

On the other hand, I find it really hard to think of the sola scriptura sects thinking that Mormonism doesn't count as Christianity as "bigotry". They don't even think that Catholicism is real Christianity because it has reverence ceremonies and catechism, disqualifying the guys that added an entire testament seems pretty legit.

I can't really say that I have a problem with people not voting for someone because of an incompatible belief system. Honestly, that should almost be the only determining factor in where your vote goes, expanded beyond religious context.

Well, I can almost understand where people 2000 years ago could believe in zombie Jesus. They were ignorant rubes who didn't understand science. But people these days should be smarter than that. It's depressing that we aren't.

If a baptist or evangelical church endorse Romney on Jebus grounds, there will be running gun battles down south.
