Jesus-ifying Zero Punctuation

[Ridonculous_Ninja]

Well good you've made me laugh. Honestly, a bit hard to tell joke from seriousness on the internet. I'm so very used to seeing ignorant assertions people make to make themselves feel good, which is ironic if you're an atheist since that's an argument used against religion that it is a tool of self indulgence. But again, good joke.

Well, I'd try to joke about atheism, but there's nothing really funny about it - it doesn't have any rules or anything. It's not like a club, it's just a fancy way of saying "I don't believe in god."

I make religious jokes for the same reason I make sex jokes - I don't have sex (or religion,) but that's not a reason not to be silly about it.

If someone gets offended for a good reason, I'll apologize. If not, I won't.

And yes, it is difficult to tell sometimes.

And you don't have to worry - I never feel good.
I am...Depression Man!

HIDING IN VALLYS AND DITCHES!

...

That was bad...

I'm sorry, I just couldn't resist that.

They like to think designing a t-shirt around something popular will draw in kids to religion. I saw one with the 1UP mushroom from Mario, talking about how it gave you infinite life, or some shit.

Christians are pretty good at adopting popular practices and symbols as their own. Just ask about why Christmas falls on the 25th! (Hint: It ain't Jesus' birthday)

oh oh pick me pick me! *jumping up and down with arm up* its because the gits stole the winter solstice now excuse me while i hide from the Christians.

Actually, no. But don't feel too bad, you're in good company with people who believed this; Isaac Newton made the same mistake.
Christmas' date relates to a Roman holiday called "Sol Invictus" which means "The unconquered sun" (which, in my opinion, is about 1000x more bad-ass than "Christmas" which means "Christ's Mass"). Sol Invictus celebrated a number of popular Roman sun deities, including the Emperor, and the god Mithras, who was a god that was tremendously popular with the Roman Legions. Since early Christians were essentially the Romans' go to for Lion-on-Man action, they tried not to piss off Romans anymore than they could help, resulting in them claiming Sol Invictus as the day of Christ's birth.

So, I guess what I'm trying to say here is that Yahtzee is like Gaming's Mithras. And the Christians are like, well, they're still the Christians.

Because they try to ride current trends. ZP is a popular trend so it makes sense that they'd try to cash in on it to appeal to us youth.

On that subject though, I think anyone owning one of those bumper stickers showing Calvin from C&H prostrate before a cross deserves to have their windows smashed.

I've never seen one but, agreed, that's the same as making C&H porn for me. x_x

O_O

Thank you for putting officially the most distubing images ever into my head. I will now go and cleanse my mind with acid.

Sorry but you know the saying:

"It's all one big shit sandwich, and we all gotta take a bite"

Damn Rule 34... nearly ruined Pokemon for me...

 

[Shycte]

Because they thought it would be a fun idea that they could make money of?

Why are you being offended by this? Seriously, like what the fuck?

I honestly didn't know that phrase, but I will now try to work it into everyday conversation at least once a day.

Pics or it didn't happen

...Because taking photo's of random people isn't at all creepy and stalker-esque?

 

[Blackadder51]

Oh god this is just starting to get out of hand....

 

[evan573]

*GASP* CHRISTIANS?! BEING UNORIGINAL?! scandalous! god must be turning in its grave!

 

[RanD00M]

If there is a God,it's got to be a she.

Nope.Me and a friend of mine found out that if there is a god,It has to be a MALE.No woman can fuck up so badly.

It's completely normal.Just ask the girl who took some photos of me yesterday as we were talking.

 

[Xyphon]

That's what religions do. Assimilate other stuff in hopes to attract suckers new people.

"hey look at that, that pagan celebration on the 25th of December that so many places celebrate already would make a dandy date for the birth of Christ!"... "That highly recognizable style that's very popular with the kids sure would give us some nice credit with the youth if we somehow managed to associate it with our cult!"


..etc.

Spoiler: Don't take this the wrong way, people!

 

[ben---neb]

if God wanted me dead, she'd do it herself.

And where did you learn that little nugget?

Presumly he/she is trying to be edgy and/or provocative and/or offensive. I have to say that as a Christian in doesn't bother me in the slightest. God is a supernatural being outside of any gender.

 

[AkJay]

Because.. It's... Making.. Money...???

True, Churches need money, and they aren't above stealing ideas, not because they are a church, but because they are people, and that's what we do best.

That...does not fall under my classification of normal.

Perhaps it's just me.

You just made my day thanks! Anyways it falls under parody because of two reasons;
It just uses the lettering, and two unless it clearly uses some form of character i.e. Yahtzee, the Imps, or any character done in Yahtzee style then it's just parody and not blatant stealing.

Besides even if it was blatant stealing, no one would sue a church because 95% of Americans are religious and would instantly shit all over the person that sued the church no matter how big of a crime they committed. Which I think is out right bat-shit insane considering Churches when put in that scenario sound like they're above the fucking law >.>

Oh, shit. Really?

Sorry. Couldn't really make out if it was sarcasm or not. Thanks for clearing that up. =)
