If you read that stupid fucking bible, jesus is made to say a lot of silly shit.


Best to pay it no mind.

To expand on this: it could be said, and most probably has been, that one gun can 'only' be used to kill a limited number people depending on field of fire, available ammo etc. One bible-type book can be used to kill millions.
At the age of five, Skagra decided emphatically that God did not exist.  This revelation tends to make most people in the universe who have it react in one of two ways - with relief or with despair.  Only Skagra responded to it by thinking, 'Wait a second.  That means there's a situation vacant.'

On a quick perusal of that site I noticed that they positively encourage the use of the word "imagine", and others like it. For instance: Here's some world event that we can loosely align with [insert apocalyptic bible chapter/verse] - now, imagine that godditit - rapture.

Take a look at the forum rules, its a laugh. Anyway:

Just don't read it too much, because if you still have functional IQ points you will lose them by the second reading that. I read a bit of it this morning and I'm feeling dumber already. DERP

Holy fuck! How the hell are they even able to discuss the rapture, when the site's rules practically forbid any discussion of the rapture? That forum is "Fight Club" for fundies.

What's really creepy are their rules about pacifism.

Crazy Ass Death Cult Member Wrote:[33] No posts supporting issues on pacifism: Continuous wars will exist on this planet until the Prince of Peace establishes His Kingdom on earth, and only after a great and bloody war that Jesus Himself will wage against His enemies. Laws and governments (with armies) are established to restrain evil, if left unrestrained, evil will overtake peaceful countries, including "pacifists". "Pacifist Christians" would be persecuted, oppressed, slaughtered... Romans 13:4 For he is the minister of God to thee for good. But if thou do that which is evil, be afraid; for he bears not the sword in vain: for he is a minister of God, an avenger to execute wrath upon him that practices evil. With this issue settled, pacifist ideals and liberal positions, which are weakening this country, are not necessary nor allowed on this board.
Even if the open windows of science at first make us shiver after the cozy indoor warmth of traditional humanizing myths, in the end the fresh air brings vigor, and the great spaces have a splendor of their own - Bertrand Russell

LOL, bunch of bloodthirsty motherfuckers. I like em, aside from the whole Jesus bit.
I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!
