I have found Religion!Follow

Well, my life just took a turn for the worse.

I live in a **************** little house on about an acre right off a major highway. I liked the place and rented it for two reasons.

First, it's close to work. I'm pretty **** about not havign to drive far to get to work. If I'm driving more than 10 minutes each way, I feel like something is wrong.

Second, it's fairly secluded. I have nothing but scrub woods on the west and north sides. The east side faces highway. The south side has a tiny little cinder block building that has been painted and fixed up as a church. 'the holy shield of evangelical light' or some crap like that.

I never minded the little 'church.' Damn thing doesn't look big enough to hold 20 people standing up. They're down close to the road and I'm set back away from the road. I never bothered them, they never bothered me.

Until this week. These people set up a tent and have been holding some sort of a revival or some **** every night this week. The **** has gone on every night this week til after midnight. Whooping, hollering, clapping. No music, but plenty of singing (if you want to call THAT singing). Pretty loud, considering that I can hear it inside my house 60 yards away, over the TV and the normal 'house noises' (AC, water heater, fridge, electric hums, etc.).

I wouldn't mind all that so much if I didn't have to get up around 4:30 every morning to go to work. You can be an idiot all you like, so long as you don't disturb me.

Well, tonight it all came to an end. After 5 nights of me calling doom upon the heads of all snake-handling, holy-rolling, inbred, hick-***, tongue-speaking, loud-*** religious nuts....

their church caught on fire.



About 15 minutes ago, I heard all the cacaphony change tones. And my dogs started raising hell. When I went outside to look, smoke was just rolling out of the place. I called 911 for them and afterwards I came back inside because I could feel the grin starting to break through. God hates noisy ******* too.

Otherwise, he wouldn't be posting for a couple days until he made bail. Just a guess.

Proves my personal philosophy --

It's not Christianity thats the problem. It's Christians.







*************************************
"I found Jesus. He was behind the couch the whole time."

There was a branch of Russian Orthodoxy in which its believed that "since Christ died for his worshipper's sins," to not sin is to make Christ's sacrifice worthless.

Translation: It's one's duty to sin as much as possible.

Its gonna be a riot when TS realizes that these nutjobs wont let the lack of a building keep them down. I bet they start singing even louder, just to prove to themselves that thier faith can't be shaken.

We can only hope, eh?

It's sad that so many people have such fervent hatred for christians. I'm a non-denom christian, more of a john the baptist type, you know the wandering in the wilderness type. Christ believes in you whether or not you believe in him. You all will be remembered in my prayers.

Did you find a screwdriver, too?

Whay?!?! WTF is a Cristian? I know you couldn't possibly mean Christian, since by definition you have to embrace Christ as God. Thats like saying your a vegetarian while eating a big ole steak.

Or are you one of the Christians "Just in Case"? The whole well I don't really believe any of it, unless its true, in which case scratch that whole nonbelief thing. Can I still get in to heaven God ole buddy ole pal?

Anyone who is happy about a church burning, well I can't say what I want to and keep this post civil. Just be sure that you have managed to insite a level of disgust in me that not even Clinton ever managed.
Sure Christians have earned a lot of hate over the millenia. I mean there was the crusades and all, then there was the inquzition and later the witch burnings. (Witch we did to ourselves.) So yeah there ought to be some bad feelings.
But what bothers me is that in the present we have a bunch of crackpot terorists trying to to turn our country into a pile of rubel. (Not sayin they could, just that they would.) All in the name of Islam, and where not supposed to be a little bit miffed? But everything has to be politically correct these days. I hate those words.
But what was said earlier was true Christianity in itself is not bad it is the people that iterpet the bible to suit themselfs that cause a problem. Just like the terrorist's today interpet the corran (Is that how its spelled?) to best fit there goals.
Oh, and I'm a baptist.
Thank you for your time.

Goddamnit, not ANOTHER God thread! Learn to take a joke.

Yeah I geuss two in the morning is a little bit excessive. But when I see people speaking or posting in a anti christian way it irritates me. And the way this thread weant I felt like doing something violent.
I know to anyone who doesn't take religion seriously (Not saying anyone here is like that. I don't know you that well.) it seems like a joke. But to the people who go to church every sunday it is as bad as any racial slur you could think of. And makes me think why isn't God making with the heathen smiting allready. C'mon you can fry the powerlines with those thunderbolts so why don't you just make with the bug zapper on these dissbeleivers! (The last part was a joke. I'd rather he use a flood much more humane. =) Aggain I'm kidding.)
And I know not all Muslims are fanatics, I was making a point that Christians are judged by the most vocal few but the same is not applied to Muslims. I don't like either to be judged that way but that's the way it is.

Are you trying to pick a fight. Or are you just one of those heathens that need smiting.
