So, honey, which came first, Jesus or Osiris?

Oh, you've found the Cutting Edge Ministries! They're an endless source of hilarity.

Someone on a mailing list dredged them up.

I'm not sure whether they're intentionally that bad, or whether they're serious...

[juuro.livejournal.com]

The scary part is that they are serious.

I like the bit about ancient Egyptians using the letter "T", myself.

(There's a perfectly good story of a T-shaped symbol morphing into a cross that actually happened: Thor's Hammer. I have no idea why they felt the need to invent one, and a boring one at that.)

If those people are for real, they scare me.

I can increasingly no longer tell satire from reality. I'm not sure whether this is a failure in me or a failure in the world. I suspect both.

*nods*

I'm slowly beginning to recognize it.

Therefore, I'm seeing it all over, in places where it probably isn't.

For example, Starship Troopers the movie was a brilliant satire of war.

this part, at the bottom..!

i thought i was going to die i laughed so hard:

If you would like to become Born Again, and come to know this wonderful heart peace, turn to our Salvation Page now.


Bwhahahahahahaaaaaaaaa!

The Salvation Now page does have some good points about the Catholic guilt thing. (My nice ex-fiancee was Catholic. Emphasis on "was". She's Quaker now.)

i'm always amused by "click this for salvation" type lines..

if you've never seen it, this site is good for that sort of laugh. in a scary way.

fyi.. turn your sound off, first.

Sheesh. I've seen that one before. No need for me to click...

Evidently, from my hatred of the song, I've got demons resident...

No, honey, you don't. This webpage annoys me in more ways than one, not the least of which is that I do, in fact, answer yes to the following questions that it asks:

Have you ever looked right in the eyes of a demon and told the demon to take a hike? I have! Have you ever been growled at by a demon when you walk by them in a restaurant and church? I have!

And then it goes on to say:

Would you like help from being Depressed? Abused? Afraid? Tormented? Suicidal? Sick? Alcoholic? Addict? Obese? Homosexual (gay, lesbian)? Witch? Satanist? Brotherhood? Want out of the occult or a cult? Hooked on porno? Dying? OCD? MPD? DID? Molester? Self-Abuse? Bi-polar? Etc.? Just get Saved and cast out these demons!

A few of those can be caused by demons. Let me rephrase. Demons can do some of these things. But most of the time it's just the person themselves; our brains are extremely complicated and amazing machines. Most of the time, a demon in someone results in either them being suicidal, homicidal, or insane. Or some combination. :)

Of course, I don't classify every other-planar entity as 'demon', as I rather think the makers of this site would. If in fact they've ever encountered any. Sounds like they go around 'casting out' bad attitudes and self-doubt, mostly. *grin*

Re: *wipes tears from eyes* oh..! this is..! hah!!!

The site annoys me because it's the "I know I'm right because I'm right" sort of thing, assuming their tastes are universal and good.

As far as I know, I've never thought myself to have demons resident. (My ex thought I did, but then his definition of "demon" could probably have been written by that website.)

Ya know, while *I* was reading that, I kept hitting on their repeated statements about virgin mothers of messiah figures who died for the welfare of the masses in many different religions throughout history.

And I kept thinking...if I'd had very little exposure to Xtianity and saw that page, I'd conclude that a lot of the basic Xtian message is pretty much the *same* as all those other religions. So (*shrug*) it must not be anything particularly special or unique....

Just thought I'd mention it. *eg*

[azurelunatic]

*giggle*

I do feel for Ferrett and Pixie and Blondie and James in that their faith has got such notable public loonies.
