Christianists, please explain your idiotic cult.

The more they pull this shit, the more they alienate younger generations. So in the long run, this is a win for us.

I’m so kind! So loving! Now worship me or else you’ll burn in Hell for all eternity!

I have a question: since Jesus had no desire for women, was He a sexual minority?

The article points out that Terry has run in the past to be the Democratic nominee for president. He may be trying to gain support for another run by denigrating the competition for the Christian vote.

Such superstitious nonsense. How do otherwise intelligent people actually believe any of that bullshit?

Well, R4, his playing Satan in a driveway improv is a great start.

At least he wasn’t a pedophile like in another religion.

Is that Mel whipping our Mayor Pete? (In OP’s pic)

Donald Trump commits a dozen sins before breakfast!

And that's before he gets to the crimes!!!

Hold up this is gonna be a good one lemme grab a snack🏃

We’re supposed to love each. That’s it. Practically everything else is non sense.

What's truly astounding is how these Xtianist Kunts think they can threaten a war veteran. Pussies like Randall Terry should just be clocked in the throat.

Discussion of religion in any light is terribly boring and drawn out at this point.

Well, it's determined several elections which effect your "bored" life, R13. Perhaps you should take up knitting.

Almost an in-kind contribution to Pete's campaign. The theatrics just bring more attention.

Most of the posters above are generalizing. In addition, the expression of hatred by the posters above is despicable.

Don’t mimic the people you hate.

Please do share which expressions of “hatred” you find most “despicable”, r16.

R16, normally I would agree with you — but I also think that pointing out the dripping, oozing, pussing hypocrisy of these people is....fair?

R18, it’s like judging all Gay people based on the hate-filled posts here. Judgmental, mean, indiscriminate, simplistic. If there are individuals you hate because of their actions, that’s at least understandable, but “Christians” are over 2 billion people in very diverse denominations. Many of the churches in my neighborhood fly rainbow flags out front. And the Catholic Church has an official position on Gays which is ignored by many of their religious orders, including their largest.

Don’t mimic the people you hate.

In general, human beings have a vast appetite for delusion. Add in a common fear of death and the unknown, an ingrained culture of credulous authoritarianism, superstition and ignorance, and you have the biggest con of all mankind.

You've got it all wrong. carrying crosses /being whipped was the preferred aerobic exercise in that era

A zombie and an anthropomorphized rabbit; colored eggs and chocolates! What's not to love?

R21 is right. It's actually where the term Crossfit originated.

Whipping has been the in thing for at least 3,000 years

Bitch, please! If you had met Pete at a bar and tried to hit on him but got turned down you'd be the first one yelling "crucify him!".

I was explaining Easter to a co-worker from India who came over to the U.S. for a few weeks. I also included the part about the Easter Bunny and Easter Eggs. He thought I was making it all up. I asked him to go online and look it up. Another co-worker told me that everyone who lived before Jesus was in hell. Also in hell are all the popes, Jews, Buddhists, etc. because they were not Baptist. One of my cousins firmly believes that God created everything around 6,000 years ago. Amazing!

You can't lump all Christians together any more than you can lump all of Christianity together.

There will always be reasonable, harmless Christians who mind their own business, and, unfortunately, there will always be the sort of assholes referred to in OP's post.

Don't confuse one group for the other.

quote[I also included the part about the Easter Bunny and Easter Eggs.]

That's a secular custom. I don't know why you'd try to lump that in with religion.

This is why Catholicism is the only acceptable form of Christianity bar in the Orthodoxs. We'd never do this shit!

Which shit in particular are you claiming exemption from? Because there's a lot of different denominations causing a lot of different shit.

And, of course, you never hear from the quiet, non-toxic churches.

Kill the nonbeliever wherever you find him.

Ooops! Wrong thread!

The problem is [italic] people, [/italic] not Christians. I wish you’d think for five minutes about that. It’s PEOPLE.

People are awful. They should be banned.

Yeah, this makes a lot of sense.

Christianity bar in the Orthodoxs < where exactly is this bar?

"harmless Christians "

Oxymoron

This is why Christianity is dumbed-down for the masses.

Anyplace where christianity is the mainstream culture inevitably becomes homophobic.

If you're not actively decrying the deranged antigay "leaders" and loudmouths of your faith, you're not "harmless." You're complicit.

R36 indeed!

OMG, he was so hot in that. Thanks, R40.

Hahahahaha R40 it's been years and I still just die at Tony Vincent 4:39 into 'Heaven'. He just did not want any of that French bitch Jerome Pradon stealing his THUNDAH and bumping him down to supporting cast.

The term “Christian” is used to lump over 2 billion people into one group; however, there are hundreds, maybe thousands of varieties of Christians. For hundreds of years, they were busy trying to kill each other, so I have no idea what you’re getting at. Pat Robertson is the “leader” of a group that is so irrelevant in New England that I don’t even know what group that is.

An American walks into a Belfast pub. Before the bartender will serve him, he asks the American what religion he is. The American senses a trap, so he says “I’m an atheist.” The bartender replies, “Aye, but are you a Catholic atheist, or a Protestant atheist?”

As a child, we were told to be very quiet at 3:00 pm on Good Friday as it is when our Lord passed away. My Mom went to Church often, almost every day. When no one was looking, she dusted the Votive candle holder, which of course, otherwise went decades without dusting. I wish I asked her what else she did to occupy her time, she has since passed.

I think the “quiet” admonishment was just an excuse to get some quiet for once, haha.

She was a young Church lady before she became an old Church lady. She went to Church twice on VJ Day, otherwise not knowing what to do.

Well, may the world, and DataLoungers, be a bit better tomorrow.

This Pagan bitch would like some amends made and some justifications given. Hop to it, now!

"... be very quiet at 3:00 pm on Good Friday as it is when our Lord passed away. "

This is a charming example of complete Xtian idiocy. Even if he had existed, Jeebus would have died at 3pm on the other side of the planet, 12 or so hours ahead/behind wherever such an inane naive mother and R45 would have been sleeping.

R47, you realize that European royalty today often celebrate their birthdays in the Spring, Summer, or Fall, since that’s the best time for their people to celebrate, and the literal date of their birth is completely immaterial? Do you celebrate your own birthday at the very second listed on your birth certificate?

Likewise, the exact time, or day, of the crucifixion is not what’s important. It’s the respectful recognition of the event. Something that would have been completely wasted if observed at 3 am NYC time. Don’t be so literal. It’s small minded,

If you are incapable of understanding that, it’s you are are hopelessly beyond idiocy.

Lovely, R48. Dismiss any shred of historical accuracy to accommodate "royalty," them denigrate any non-believers in your Christ-fetish lunacy.

"It doesn't matter when he was born or died," meaning, it also doesn't matter that the Druid and Pagan holidays and shrines Catholics and early Christians slapped on top of earlier holidays and beliefs was not a genocidal culture rape.

" the exact time, or day, of the crucifixion is not what’s important."

Nor is its existence to deluded Jesus-fetishers.

Calling someone who doesn't believe made-up fables about zombies in caves as "hopelessly beyond idiocy" is inconsistent at best.

But what can one expect from smug conceited fools like R48, who defend fairy tales as fact?

R47/R49, you are a dishonest debater. It’s something people do when they can’t win on the merits. In R47, you refer to “complete Xtian idiocy”, but then you complain in R49 when you are responded to in kind, as if you’re an innocent victim instead of an instigator. You maintain a childlike understanding of Christianity, and I think you have to, to support a simpleton’s interpretation that makes it easy for your to deride.

The Catholic Church, for one, is well aware that the dates that we celebrate the holiest religious dates are not the literal dates that the events originally occurred. Especially given the inaccuracies in the Julian Calendar and the corrections required to switch to the JuIan Calendar. What matters is that we set aside time to recognize the days for what they are, be they on the Roman calendar, Orthodox calendar, or other.

Keep gnashing your teeth over the lies upon lies of your "faith." A bunch of buttfucking monks took over the calendar in 1205 or whenever, which is unfortunate.

The point from above, which got you all bent out of shape, was showing how your (or someone else's) Mommy told a full-on lie using religion to shut up her kids.

The average church-goer isn't aware of the truth of made-up religious timetables, and most dumbass Xtians think the earth is 6000 years old. You're not smart people.

You're still bubbling with hypocrisy, and THIS (see link) is exemplary of your fellow believers in Zombie Jesus:

R51, you’re generalizing again. Some Christians are idiots, ergo, all Christians are idiots. That is your argument. And it’s the stupidest argument simpletons can make. Except perhaps the next one...

Your example is just one man who stands to represent nobody. There are idiots everywhere, you’ve found one. Congratulations. The world is full of them. Look in the mirror for another.

You seem to be getting stupider, or the smarter trolls have stopped posted, but you are uneducable. In parting, you do not know how illogical, nonsensical, and wrongheaded you are.

You keep trying to insult people who refuse to believe the total bullshit of the Virgin Birth, Resurrection and all the other lies as "simpletons" and "idiots."

You are the defensive simpleton. Jesus did not exist. His story was stolen from half a dozen deities who actually existed centuries before Constantine made him up like a sloppy buffet/God to placate the crazies bent on destroying Rome.

" illogical, nonsensical, and wrongheaded " = Christians defined, inadvertently, by a Christian.

Also, YOU are the troll, dear R52 etc. This is my thread, and you are the one droning on with G-rated insult attempts, while deliberately avoiding my Original Post: "Defend your stupid religion."

You clearly can't and won't, so you troll me. You have nothing but a zombie fairy tale.

Go back to the bitcoin crapfest you commented on. You seem a bit more informed about that equally bullshit topic.
