"In one case, a person logged in as Satan, entered the pulpit and started to blaspheme."

Non-Christian translation:

In one case, a person logged in posing as another non-exitent entity, entered the pulpit and started to make sense.

I wonder if they online priests still can molest the online alter boys?
 
2004-05-20 01:03:23 PM
Because you probably did something stupid like trying to claim the short version of "I am posting something which, when I do, shall be declared as first."

Wow a lot of boobies in a thread about a cyber church

axlmed God smites thee for not reading the FArQ
 
2004-05-20 01:08:28 PM
Bah...they fark this story twice, but won't post the one on Andy Kaufman being alive (maybe).
 
2004-05-20 01:11:40 PM
Wasn't there an online game called Smite thee?
 
2004-05-20 01:11:48 PM
Darn it, Henchman, you beat me to it.

Because God hates you.

Damn, and there goes my plan to have my little cyberman run up to the altar and say, "Boys have a penis, girls have a vagina."
 
2004-05-20 01:13:16 PM
Its the end times.....

/internet churches....somebody smite me for real
 
2004-05-20 01:13:22 PM
Hey, whaddayaknow - church is turning into IRC!

I can't wait until the choir starts kickbotting for ops!
 
2004-05-20 01:14:29 PM
stvdallas, There's been several hundred links to that story in the past few days. None of them have proven remotely credible. We do our homework on TF.
 
2004-05-20 01:15:38 PM
And why is this silly that an organization is taking action to prevent people being complete asses in the forum which that organization hosts? It's not free speech when you're using something someone else, in this case Ship of Fools, provides.

I damn sure couldn't walk into a local AARP meeting and make crass comments about elderly people - and if someone did and it wound up here, I'm sure people on Fark would condemn them for it. But if it's about religion, everyone on Fark needs to be "cool" and "free thinking" and condemn the religious people, and you have the nerve to call the religious people sheep.

Morons.

Of course Church of Fools is silly. It's run by Ship of Fools. It's their job not to be serious. Of course, it's cosponsored by Methodists, which I don't get.

P.S. Why always the trolls with the anti-Christian rhetoric? And it's the Catholics whose priests diddle altar boys and then try to act like nothing happened, blame the victim, etc. No Catholics were involved in this venture. I don't think. So fark off. :)

2004-05-20 01:23:49 PM
axlmed because you touch yourself.

That makes baby Jesus cry.
 
2004-05-20 01:25:04 PM
Oh, and since you're now 12 hours in the future, can you let me know if it's going to rain?
 
2004-05-20 01:27:34 PM

They really should use a thunderbolt...
 
2004-05-20 01:31:23 PM
Man. When they started this, did they really think nothing could possibly go wrong?

Do you come to this site often? If you do, you should realize that the majority of farkers are atheists/agnostic who like to make fun of the wacky jeebus freaks that so impressively dominate this country (US. If any other religous group was in power, I'm sure those sheeple would also come under fire.

SlowTimedRapid: It wasn't easy. Lots of Gary Larson's stuff has been baleeted from the internet.
 
2004-05-20 01:42:04 PM
This isn't Silly, it's Cool.

Church = social organization. Forget about the God stuff for a minute.

Abusive persons = asshats that the social organization doesn't want around.

Smite = a pretty droll way to get rid of asshats.

My kudos to the church for handling this in a nifty way.
 
2004-05-20 01:43:13 PM
I'm sooo sorry for asking, but how did axlmed post on 5/21? Axlmed, do you have the time machine?
 
2004-05-20 01:44:44 PM
Heavenly boobies.
 
2004-05-20 01:46:34 PM
"Ma'am, would it make you feel any better if you knew what we were asking Matt to do was a holy thing?"

"You see, we're on a mission from God."

"Don't you blaspheme in here! Now, you two are gonna walk out that front door. Without your dry white toast, without your four fried chickens, and WITHOUT Matt "Guitar" Murphy."
 
2004-05-20 01:49:17 PM
axlmed was caught by one of the automatic smiting mechanisms on Fark.

As a sysadmin in real life, I've always wanted to find a way to make people's computers administer mild electric shocks when they do dumb things... it semms to work on cattle.
 
2004-05-20 01:49:17 PM
They have a funny sense of humor.
 
2004-05-20 01:49:25 PM
Are the mods making fun of axlmed because he did something ill-advised? I realize he has the Boobies which was twelve hours before the last post.

How does this church get converts?
Oh yeah, that's right SPAM
Just what we need...spam sent under the presumed authority of a deity....

"Noah,can your spam blocker tread water....?"

ATMIZZOU -

Drew put a think in the Fark filter to make anyone that types irst-fe, ost-pe (in pig latin to avoid filter), have that be the very last item shown in the thread - he puts the time ahead some hours so it always shows last instead of irst-fe
 
2004-05-20 02:13:13 PM
Errr....without RTFA, how was the 411 in this link different than the other link posted just a few hours previously?

And, is it me, but are the mods making most of my forum posts to be gripes about reposts of links?

/vowing to cease ever to submit new links here, since its not worth the time (can't get myself to post a repeat link, even if it is the best way to get the mods to accept one)
 
2004-05-20 02:25:23 PM
Is it just me, or is axlmed's posts also weirdly timed (way out of synch)?

/finally not finding wrong to blame on lazy mods
 
2004-05-20 02:37:46 PM
It is because i touch myself at night.

Ah, you're getting it! Welcome to the club.
 
2004-05-20 02:53:50 PM
A friend uses it. You get to pick an avatar. I laughed out loud at all the "Smithers" avatars in there. However, I don't get how someone who wants a transcendent religious experience is going to get anything out of a virtual representation that looks like a lego set.

As for "smiting", I'm for it. Ever since AOL came aboard, netnews has been like Freshman week 24/7/365

What the hell are you on about, son?

Nice boobies you got there, axl & atmizz.

To stay on topic: I'm just glad they don't have a 'confess' button. That could get ugly.

If the Weenersor really feels the need to point out that they are indeed the first, they get a time stamp 12 hours later. It's a fun game to play when you get a group who does it in quick succession, because all of them get altered.
