Um... did you not watch the Big Picture with Movie Bob today?Kopikatsu said:Those FIENDS. Someone call PETA. They're those kitten's only hope!
I didn't watch Movie Bob's thing, but I already knew about PETA's issue with house pets, yes.Bara_no_Hime said:Um... did you not watch the Big Picture with Movie Bob today?Kopikatsu said:Those FIENDS. Someone call PETA. They're those kitten's only hope!
PETA wants to kill all pet cats. No, I'm not kidding. See the video for details.

Thank you for having brains.ShadowStar42 said:I would argue that it's the other way around, very few of the Christian Right's stances have anything to do with the teaching of the Christian church or the bible.Kopikatsu said:http://christwire.org/2011/11/mexican-government-warns-of-water-that-turns-people-gay/
Goddamn Christians! Making conservatives look like crazy assholes.
The Onion and The Sun are obviously satire, though. Once religion enters the picture, you never know.lacktheknack said:People get laughed at for believing the Onion, you know.
Still, I'll give you some grace, considering that WBC is still crazier than these people.
what is jack chick?theheroofaction said:Well, yes, Poes law was made for religion, but it really extends to just about every type of parody.Kopikatsu said:Not so obvious. Religious nutjobs are always the craziest kind. Just look at some of Jack Chick's work. Seriously.theheroofaction said:*Yawn* Obvious trolls are obvious.
Seriously, you've got to take Poes Law into account.
It's kinda like how my old english teacher thought " a modest proposal" was serious,
Edit: Oh. I looked up Poe's Law and it refers exclusively to religion. Nevermind me, then.
Unfortunately, no matter how hard you parody something, there really will be people that act like that, Jack chick to use your example, is actually worse than most parodys of nutjobism, even to the point that those who partially agree with him know he's insane.
You sure that it's obvious? I personally have an easier time spotting a religious satire than a political one, and then we have this site...Kopikatsu said:The Onion and The Sun are obviously satire, though.

Eh. Political satire is pretty obvious to me, but religious satire? I can't distinguish between it and actual religious beliefs at all. Scientology may as well be a perfectly valid religion as far as I'm concerned. Makes more sense than Mormonism in any case.lacktheknack said:You sure that it's obvious?

Parents, don?t fear, you can rely once again on Christwire to provide you with accurate information and analsis.
Today we will be informing you on a newly released PC console game called The Elder Scroll Skyrim. Bethesda games bombarded your children with this filth on 11/11/11, which is just like homosexual to pick that sort of date because it is clean and orderly and uniform just like their narcissistic selfs.
Skyrim?s Severe Affronts to your Christian child:
Man on man homogay marrying
Drug toking Skooma
Women in politics (jarls)
Worshipping false Gods
Bestiality relationships between Imperials and Argonian lusty lizard women
?Leveling up? satan?s magic. Worse than in Harry Potter.
I broke out laughing at 'Homogay', but completely lost it at 'Beastiality relationships between Imperials and Argonian lusty lizard women'.Octogunspunk said:I like their Skyrim review....

How could I been so foolish?! By playing Skyrim, I've been supporting the Chinese all along!Before your execution however a Dragon attacks. I was NOT prepared for this. I did NOT know there would be dragons in this game and certainly not dragons so soon after I started playing! If I had known this then I would recommend that your children NOT play this game. Dragons are a symbol of Chinese power and strength over America and I cannot even believe that they are now invading our entertainment time, this is America not china! This dragon was fierce, like the orientalls stealing our economy, swooping down and flapping it?s wings wishing to oppress the entire world. I had to pause this game and calm myself down and raise my family?s American flagpole to its highest point before beginning again.
I had my doubts as well... But then I saw this article linked below the article you referenced in OP.Kopikatsu said:I see. My mistake.5-0 said:Christwire is satire, like The Onion. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Christwire
Sometimes it's hard to differentiate satire from religious beliefs. (This isn't really a jab at religion, but you do have to admit that the religious crazies are REALLY crazy)
Edit: Like Jack Chick. Jack Chick has some serious issues that he needs to work out.

Study: Sex Turns Straight People Gay and Turns Gays into Mexicans [http://christwire.org/2011/01/study-sex-turns-straight-people-gay-and-turns-gays-into-mexicans/]
Not hard to tell it's satire after reading that tagline.
I need to read the Bible again. It sounds even more badass than I remember it being.The Bible has warned us many times of this dangerous phenomenon, in passages such as ?Yea, and the straight men went into their wives, and were suddenly repulsed by the sight of their baby caves, as they craved now for hot man rods. But alas, the owners of the hot man rods had all turned into Mexicans! Behold!?
