I think we need to put the term "religionist" into mainstream use.

Because this cartoon nearly makes me wish I was atheist.

That cartoon depicts someone being converted to Christianity through what could be the most shallow and religion-ist way possible, I swear. I mean, even the guys at my church have more sense than that Bob feller. They're more open-minded.

But oh no, Bob has to put down evolution and stuff as a "religion of scientists who laugh at God." Hello? I'm a Christian and I can follow both Creationism and Darwinism at the same time, so why can't you? Religionist fucker.

And then he goes on to spew bullshit about finding footprints of humans with dinosaurs. That, like I just said, is FUCKING BULLSHIT.

It pisses me off just how easily his covertees give in. The average convertee takes nearly a year to decide she or he wants to join the church (I should know). It makes Bob look like a Gary Stu with Jesus-like Powahs of Convershun. NO ONE OTHER THAN JESUS CAN DO THAT.

Don't get me started on his bull about "your teacher's been brainwashed". MRS. F WAS NOT BRAINWASHED.

So yes, Bob, EPIC FAIL. You got a Christian wishing you death. Someone send him out an airlock (preferably down to Hell).

I needed that off of my chest.

Don't be embarrassed by Chick tracts. Everybody knows they're patently ridiculous and represent the opinions of only 0.00004% of all Christians. But it can be very relaxing to spend an hour or two reading and laughing at them. :P

Good point. :] Laughing at the bullshit and the religionists...

Now see, that's an example of true circular logic. God is real and created the Earth in six days because the bible says so. So if you believe in God, you believe in the bible which means you believe in God. I know you're a Christian, Lily, so I won't say anything too bad about the religion as a whole, but that's gotta be the dumbest way to convert and atheist ever. One of the key points about not being Christian? You don't believe the bible.

... Even my teachers at my Lutheran primary school bothered trying to sell us the "six days" stuff. They all went on about how it was metaphorical and that each day could have lasted a million years.

But yeah, chick tracts is not something to take seriously. Don't worry. :p

At least your teachers tried to be rational. :]

If it annoys you that much, you could always just not look on the man's website. He's clearly a nutter; you've better things to do with your time.

It didn't twig immediately that a Chick tract is a tract from someone called Chick. My mind immediately jumped to Monty Python and the "tracts of land" that make some women so appealing.

It was mentioned on marysues.

LOL.

Agreeing with the other comments here. Besides, you're smart enough to not take it seriously.

Though I definitely agree with you. Pure idiocy.

[lily-winterwood.livejournal.com]

I know. It still gets me pissed off at my own religion. :P

Of course I wouldn't take it seriously. Too much bullshit. It'll destroy my mind and I need my mind for fanfic.

oh, religion is always so controversial and each person sees it in a different way...

[lily-winterwood.livejournal.com]

Just because one person sees religion in a different light doesn't mean he/she can go around denouncing all the other religions.

[laurandbillever.livejournal.com]

I know, I know... but most deeply religious people ( and I mean deeply ) are like that- narow minded... I have a few of them to deal with in RL and it is not fun but still... what can we do, really? don't take it too personaly ;)

*twitches*
Not the best tract. I wouldn't wish the person death, but a nice smack on the head would be good.

Preferably with a nice, slimy, cold fish.
