Christian Bullshit: Underhanded Propaganda

[ShaggyShagz13]

I read this bs story on my fb too. The glory of goD just isn't enough by itself so stupid shite like this has to be used to supplement hiS ineptitude.

[MrRepzion]

I hate those "repost" this if you're truly a Christian crap. It is bullshi* Annoys the hell out of me.

There's a touch of this "without a god you're screwed" attitude in the recent movie, "Soul Surfer". The main character is a surfer who decides not to attend a religious charity event. A shark bites off her left arm.

dalejr88 is right, it's standard chain letter fodder. Only the incredibly gullible would believe it.

I'll be honest TA I don't care for this stuff myself. I agree it's emotive without grounding.

However , you guys come off like such Anti- Christian not Anti - Religious haters with vids like this.

I watch stuff like this and can't help but think if the title was Islamic BS propaganda instead, not only would the YT Atheist flash mob not mindlessly salivate, but you'd be knee-deep in another " didn't tow the PC atheist line" scandal.

Cheers

@TheAtheistAntidote Well just so happens that Im both Anti-christian AND anti-religious, so Im quite ok with both those labels. If the title were Islamic BS, I know exactly what Id be dealing with: A lot more views, a couple of benign death threats, and a bit more "blind defense of the brethren" attitude. You know how I know this? Because Ive done it. The vid is called "Islam Sucks Too". The reason I dont have a series for it is because muslims far more frequently keep their BS to themselves.

@ThoughtfulAtheist

"muslims far more frequently keep their BS to themselves."

This might be the craziest thing i've ever heard!

Are you living on this planet?

[ThoughtfulAtheist]

@TheAtheistAntidote Amazingly enough, despite the numerous Muslim friends I have on Facebook, its EXTREMELY rare that they make any mention of Allah, let alone on a daily basis...and when they do, its not proselytizing: Its personal thanks, its talking to one another, and that sort of thing. Even here on youtube, its rare that a Muslim tries to convert me--although I will admit more than any other commentary from Muslims, I get the "allah will ensure you burn in hell" BS.

[GiantSandles]

@TheAtheistAntidote Take a look at your own fucking country. Despite Christian fundies bitching about an impending 'Muslim takeover', it's fundamentalist Christians who are by far the loudest - not to mention way more influential and dangerous.

@TheAtheistAntidote

Christianity, as you like to point out ourself is the largest religion in America by a 4-1 margin, so people who live in America are 4x as likely to hear Christian bs, and 4x as many responses will beabout or against Christianity.

it's a fact of numbers, not a fact of "having it out for Christians" above any other religion.

[dalejr88]

Sounds like a chain-letter to me.

Haha....this story is as old as I am...it's an urban legend that refuses to die. Really, I heard this in 1962.*God is Moving*??? Really? The underacheiver in the sky still ignores millions of starving infants in 3rd world....when he magically keeps all of them fed and comes out of retirement, I might consider their *evidence*. Whoops! That's right, there is none.

I'll bet 97% of christians believe because they are afraid to go to hell if they don't.

[gothatfunk]

glad no one on my FB ever posts stuff like that. perhaps your friend reposted it w/o reading it all, merely cos the opening said 93% wouldn't,

[chaoszieg]

hey if that other girl got raped, means she dint pray to god to be protected, so she deserved it right?

good moral lesson here

[chaoszieg]

only 10 dollars? I'd bet 1,000,000 it's bullshit.

but yay, girls walk alone down all the dar alleys you want alone at nigt past men that make you uneasy, as long as you pray before you do!

that way someone else will be raped not you

It has all the hallmarks of a piece of right-wing evangelical inerrantist propaganda - sadly this form of Christianity has infected both Judaism and Islam. It is a Deus-ex-machina story which smacks of the phoniness of the story - it is like the deathbed conversion stories that are beloved of evangelicals - they are then comforted to know that someone who the real world considers great but in their theology is demonised - but were finally saved so they were alright really etc.
