Title: Spamming for Christ
Post by: Squid on May 28, 2007, 09:46:24 PM
So it seems that someone took it upon themselves to spam the board with antiatheist posts - repeated posts.  I find this funny.  Was it not Yeshua who preached tolerance and humility?  To even love those who you see as an enemy?  Hmm...

What we have is not any following of religious teachings but a simple human characteristic.  What is displayed overtly is outgroup bias. This is a psychological phenomena that occurs frequently in human groups.  We have someone who has two categories in mind Christians and Atheists.  Anyone Christian is part of the ingroup and seen as similar and a non-threat.  Atheists are the outgroup and seen as some sort of threat, something which elicits types of aggressive beahavior - manifesting itself in this way through hate filled spam posts.

Maybe this person should actually take the time to evaluate what they have done.  Will this be successful in "saving" anyone in the Christian sense? When was the last time you punched someone in the face and they thanked you for it?

This is not Christian "love", this is not even understanding it is plain old human intolerance, hate and aggression to kill, maim, destroy and disparage that which we see and different or strange.

So to the spammer, if they even would take the time to read this - what is it you hope to accomplish?  To strike fear into us? Sorry, you failed.  To somehow destroy our self esteem or any pride we feel? Nope, you failed there as well.  The only thing you've successfully produced in your acts is a disdain for you and others like you - you intolerant assholes are what drag our species down - you are truly the festering rot of the Earth.

There's a difference between preaching the word of God and beating someone over the head with it while demeaning them.  If you wish to discuss your views, fine - many have come here and done so in a calm and inviting manner.  There is no opposition to that.  Your tactics are not conducive to having someone consider your position.

LOL! You're a funny, funny guy!

Stupid, but funny.  :lol:

By the way, how does Satin commit sodomy? And does it have a harder time doing it than say, wool, cotton, or nylon? I'm guessing it would have an easier time, being all slippery and stuff. What do you think, Ingodwetrust?

Oh, also, when you mention God, you're supposed to capitalize the "G", not the "D", dufus.

I could actually care less if they are evangelical Christians, rambunctious atheists, or pernicious Jews - whatever their actual beliefs such postings are annoying and only waste space on this board.

I don't think God likes assholes...or maybe he does, that does seem to be his personality.

Anyway, it will stop because all I have to do is hit delete.

Funny thing about that, I saw that "Way of the Master" show on a cable station last night as I was flipping channels, so for grins I decided to watch it.  I don't know if every episode is the same (and I'm not going to sit and watch them, I'm not a masochist), but they sure come across hard on the whole "he have a duty to preach god's word", "we must try to reach the lost", blah blah blah.  Is this the same attitude that provokes the religious spammers on the internet?  Probably not in this case, I think the guy who has attacked here is just trying to stir things up - I think he's having everybody on.  But most of them seem more "sincere".

Anyway - just another reason I don't like this evangelical attitude.  It's really obnoxious.

I must say, Squid, as an avid Christian, you are absolutely right!  Christ message is love and forgiveness.  God does not hate anyone, but loves all!  Some people tend to go about this in the wrong way.  I juat want everyone to know that there are true Christians out there that love you and care about your souls.  I dont hate you and neither does God.  He desires to have a relationship with you!

Remember when Jesus found a demon (unclean spirit) in a man while he was walking in Mark?

"And he asked him, What is thy name? And he answered, saying, My name is Legion: for we are many." (Mark 5:9, KJV)

I respect some Christians, but not only are you an idiot, but you're probably a Satanist. Atheists think of satanists just about what we think of Christians; what are you people thinking? I have to wonder why you're trying to represent Christians when you yourself clearly are a worshiper of satan. It's confusing. Does worshiping satan and representing yourself as a christian make you laugh? Do you think it's funny to worship the character who tried to kill god, the deity real christians worship?

I've witnessed Christians bothering atheists in real life, saying it's their duty to try and convert others.  I think spamming online is just a lazy man's version of standing and screaming at the heathens at a liberal arts college.  They think they are actually making a difference in the world, but they're just wasting their own time when they could be out in the real world looking for a prep-cook job or having ugly children.

Now that's funny.

Also, Ann Coulter's face freaks me out.
