God hates homosexuals....and veterans

[Redleg]

And then Superman, The Green Lantern, and Aquaman will put the smack-down on Santa Claus and the Easter Bunny and chain them in the Burning Lake of Fire forever too...

You got it backwards - those are all good guys - you need Mr Freeze, the green goblin, and Pinky and the Brain will put the smack-down on them.

For the record, those quotes are all taken out of context and pieced together. All they are doing is distorting scripture. This is actually a hallmark of dangerous cults - focusing in on a few texts (removed from their textual, historical, and cultural contexts) and ignoring the rest that doesn't suit their agenda and arguments.

I know that. But it surprises me how the so called "Word of God" can be split and separated. In the end the man decides what's the word of God, ironically isn't it?
If I called myself a christian, and I truly had faith about the word of God, I'll be doing the same as this people. I think you can call them too faithful, but stupids?

If I painted myself blue, wore some funky white pants, with funky white pointed shoes and a goofy looking cap on my head - and called myself a smerf - would I be one?

Yes they are faithful, but they interpreted God's word wrongly. They are not too faithful, they are too fanatical. And if you read their hanout (one of the links in the first post) you see that they have some obsession with explosives. Certainly those explosives are not for firecrackers for the 4th of July.

Depends, how tall are you? They are hiring by the way. Something about a comeback tour, just as soon as Papa Smurf gets out of rehab.

If that doesn't work due to the height thing, check out that Blue Man group.

Its a good thing that we allow free speech in this country - I am tempted to revoke their right to express themselves in such a way.

As long as they don't strap dynamite around them selves and start visiting gay parlors and veteran hospitals.....

They might find a few surprises at the vetern hospitals - especially in the part of the country they are in.

they don't interpret wrong, they interpret in whatever way they wish, in effect they are making god say what they want him to say, or tell you that you do. the popes during the crusades knew full well that it was in there religion not to kill and to be tolerant of other religions, and yet they would happily forget that fact so as to obtain there holy war. now people like bin ladin do the same,leave out things, erase things, alter them to there will. and so it is being done here today.

...religion is such crap innit?

If you belive that you're one, yes. But not being an smurf isn't menaced with eternal damnation you know.

Oh yes the eternal matter of interpretation . Those quotes have only one way for interpretation... the amoral one. Of course if you say other thing then you're just putting words that are not there, that's of course what really happened (ie the bible being writed by simple humans). If it's the word of God then there's no cause in avoiding it.

However they are menaced with eternally being in the cook pot of a certain cat and his master.

hmm i wonder what smurfs taste like, blueberry? blue rasberry? ...orange? (any other blue flavors i forgot)

I believe with the amount of rehab Papa Smurf has been under that the flavor might consist of a high toxic level of achocal and other substances.

Trent reflects the attitude back on his particular brand of annoying "Christians:"

He sewed his eyes shut because he is afraid to see
He tries to tell me what I put inside of me
He’s got the answers to ease my curiosity
He dreamed up a God and called it christianity

Your God is dead and no one cares
If there is a hell I will see you there

He flexed his muscles to keep his flock of sheep in line
He made a virus that would kill off all the swine
His perfect kingdom of killing, suffering and pain
Demands devotion atrocities done in his name

Your God is dead and no one cares
Drowning in his own hypocrisy
And if there is a hell I will see you there
Burning with your God in humility
Will you die for this?

Heresy, from The Downward Spiral, by Trent Reznor, NiN

Without the music, these lyrics lose much of their impact, but the message is clear. There was a time when this song was a bit of an anthem for me. For some reason I felt like going hunting when I listened to it.

That's not true...If I remember it right from those times, they achived to escape right.
Also in the world of the smurfs that cat and that master were real, in this world however...

I am not in rehab! I taste nothing smurfy! Leave us alone, won't you?



Louis the Smurf,

ok, I may have a slight salsepareille addiction (salsaparella for you non smurf speaker?)

...and maybe a chocolate addiction too...

[Adrian II]

How's Smurfette these days? Any chance you could post some of those suppressed Playboy pics?

[Adrian II]

Actually, the Devil and the demons are not in Hell yet. They do go there sometimes but most of the time they are in our World because the Devil feels that this world belongs to him and that this is his kingdom when rightfully it belongs to God because God was the one who built our World. Hell is too hot for them to be there all the time.

When God send the Devil to Hell, it means that God will send him to what it is called The Eternal Lake of Fire where the Devil will be chained down forever. Goes the same for all those demons.

Man, that sure is a hot story you are onto. You must have a deep throat within the system, a source who is not afraid of being burned to the third degree...

[Prodigal]

Someone should take a damn 2x4 to there face

That just about sums it up. I'm one of those that has a really intolerant attitude toward the more extreme forms of intolerance.

It beggars belief that these people really cannot see that they're acting like bloody facists.

What this world needs is some Buddhist brainwashing camps, or failing that a global uprising of the apathetic majority to go & slap around all far right, far left freak shows until they shut up & realise that actually just because THEY know they're right, pretty much everyone else on the planet doesn't, & doesn't want to hear about them stirring up trouble, stockpiling weapons, or inciting idiots to give them all their money.

For every 1 persons that agree's with people like this there'll be several thousands that don't, & not because they've the opposite view, its simply because they realise they're nutters.

[Byzantine Mercenary]

this sort of thing happens in all groups be it political movements, enviromentalist groups or even football clubs, you get guys who just want to attack someone or something, it is sad that all christians are thought to agree with them, but it is not limited to christians, Its just sad that its the nutters that get all the attention...

[master of the puppets]

...nutters...lol...nutters...man thats such a funny word...nutters. and its true, there freaks, oh yeah i've been meaning to ask this question to someone, plus since we god a god buff and comic book buff you can answer this. if jesus, the flash, abraham, and superman were in a footrace who could go around the world 20 times first?

and also pinky and the brain could take over the world, its only a matter of time...

Well Jesus of course - the world would just revolve around him.

and also pinky and the brain could take over the world, its only a matter of time...

Pinky would take over the world quickly if it wasn't for the Brain.

Like this one...

[littlelostboy]

huh?

[Tribesman]

huh?
Who is running hell while the devil and the demons are not there ? who is tormenting the damned while they are absent ? how can there be a place for people to be tormented for all eternity if the beings that are supposed to be tormenting them won't go there because it is a little to warm for their liking ?
Can you get on the hotline and find a few answers?

[Adrian II]

huh?

LittleLostBoy, what I am saying is you must have a source from Hell. Not only did you tell me that the Devil exists, but you even tell me his whereabouts: he is in and out of Hell because it is too hot for him in there. Man, you must have a source who is in the heat thick of it.

Have you forgotten during Genesis, the Devil eyed the World. He was jealous that we were God' chosen people and so he wanted the World for his. So he came here. He has too cause he is not omnipotent and he cannot be everywhere at once like God. He's just some very very very powerful ex-angel. So to come here, he has to leave Hell, no? And to go back to Hell, he has to leave here, no? And furthermore, the Devil need help since he cannot be everywhere around the world at once so there are demons in this world. Yes, there are also demons in hell but what they do, I do not know because I've not been there yet. Granted, no everything bad are caused by the Devil, it is caused by us since we by nature are sinners. All the Devil has to do is to plant temptations and whisper in our head, and then trust that our sinful nature will take over.

[Adrian II]

Fair enough, LittleLostBoy. I could have reconstructed most of that from the Bible myself. I can hear half the board snigger about this thread and I must admit I find some of the things you say very hard to believe. But I am interested because you seem to have a very lively sense of the Devil's presence.

The part I can not reconstruct is that Hell is so hot that the Devil himself can not stay there for any length of time. Could you enlighten me some more?
