@Iam4MY Grant's take on it:

On the other hand Patti did cheat:

She appears to have found redemption though, as she was inducted in the Gospel Music Hall of Fame less than a decade after the affair.

Of course the problem isn't that she had an affair so much as that she represents people who judge such things harshly (or used to, anyway, witness: Trump, Roy Moore, etc). As often happens, when a fundamentalist Christian has a personal fall from grace or something else that violates dogma like a child coming out as gay, they suddenly see the light and become more liberal theologically in order to live with themselves. Both Patti and, especially, Grant also turned to secular crossover work to eliminate the issue entirely.

Or in the case of politics, if they have to overlook some major peccadillos in order to obtain power, they will do that too. Even though fundamentalism is about being right rather than doing right, it's amazing how negotiable their "principles" are under the right circumstances.

Now that you mention it, I have heard that as well. A gal that used to babysit me was asked by a priest why she had a necklace. She said it was a peace symbol. Preist said it was an inverted cross. Got confiscated. Is the Mercedes symbol also an inverted cross? Plus wasn't st peter crucified inverted?

@TheGreatShadow I don't understand why the cross is worshipped. Why worship the thing used to torture and kill your god? You don't see me walking around with a guillotine necklace. It's like if FDR came back and everyone was worshipping the bullet

@LadyAlyxandrea It's symbolism that jeebus died for our sins? However we are "born with original sin"?

Duality.

I remember someone told me that! Omg, I was like, "are you kidding me?!"

Oh dear, I never realized how evil peace signs were until just now. I need to say a prayer of protection against the wicked influence of peace! "Dear Lord, peace sucks. Please make it go away. Amen."

@LadyAlyxandrea I want to go to a Halloween party with a small ice-pick around my neck. I will be going as a Trotskyist

The Xtian crazies can't tell fact from fiction. They think what's in Harry Potter is real.

@memorylikeasieve well considering their base believes we can't really find that surprising can we LOL

@Drsmash253 very true! ?

Now they're saying that it is talking about the birth and resurrection of Jesus Christ. It's like wow, they were so adamant about it being about witchcraft to now they think it is a book discussing their faith. Make up your mind!

Now that you mention Smurfs, I wasn't allowed to watch it when I was young. I was told it was satanic. Don't remember why tho.

@TheGreatShadow
One of JWs "urban legends "is that a smurf doll brought in by a kid got up and walked in the kingdom hall. It's a crock like all of their superstitious nonsense.

This is just what I was told. I did say bogous. My mom told me that and IIRC a preist told her that. This was before we had the internet, so it wasn't an email. Nor was it one of those stupid FB type things where "type amen and you will..."

It's loads of fun to go to sites like Focus on the Family and see what they're boycotting this week. ?

First time I saw that. This has nothing to do with selling a product, but equally ridiculous

There was a lady that claimed the metal horns was satanic. It was on one of the Decline of Western Civilization. Claimed it denied the trinity, and spelled out 666. 666 Spells out Nero Ceazar. Couldn't find the exact video, ,but this is what it means.

Cats are gods! lol

@TheGreatShadow Gods of being assholes! haha, but seriously, they are good pets. My older brother has a cat, and sometimes I go to his house just to hang out with his cat

@joeymf86 I love those little bastards!

Lol ... that reminds me, an elder in a church my first wife and I briefly attended, had the notion that any image of an owl in your house was an invitation to evil spirits and recommended your have a "cleansing ceremony" after tossing such things out. We had these little coasters that sat on an owl-shaped cradle that he thought was problematic. That was the same guy who recommended exorcism for my wife's mental health issues. Needless to say we didn't last long there, it was an Assembly of God megachurch that my wife was enamored with but I just couldn't handle that level of crazy.

This was probably in the mid 90's. I was still fairly young. My mom told me about it, and I think she heard about it from a preist here in Nebraska. One of the comments on this post was from someone who worked at P&G at the time claiming that they worked there at the time, and they would always joke about it at work.

Watching Harry potter right now. Lol

Might be fun to learn witchcraft. I guess Rowling had a crash course because I can’t see any other way that such plagiarised, stereotypical and cliched nonsense can appeal to so many!

Ironically ID (the company that made doom) gave the source code to Wisdom Tree. COuld have been Wolfenstine tho... anywho same company. They got mad that they toned down the violence. The "new" game was Noaha's Arc 3D (or something). Rather than killing something, you are Noah shooting a slingshot to make animals fall to sleep by feeding them food.

don't like them anyways. Was told something they donated money to the wrong political party the guy never said which one.

They actually have bible scriptures on the side of their hats. I know I'm a hypocrite on this, but I'd gladly buy another burger. In my defense they are an actual non-profit organization. Their starting wage is something like $15/hr. I have not heard anything about donating to any party. Maybe I should never go there again. Last time I had a burger was previous to knowing they were faith-baised. I have an In-N-Out cap and t-shirt. The closest In-In-Out is probably 1,000 miles from here. When I wear it, people think it is a dirty joke. Only people that know what it is lived in Cali.

It is pathetic. Look through other comments, and they have verified it as well. Makes me sad that we all breath the same air!

@TheGreatShadow I do not doubt this at all. Given the level of ridiculous bullshit all religions spew, the only thing I'm surprised about is that I hadn't heard it before now.

I think that is far-fetched. There are very few Luciferians in the world. An FBI report noted that in an investigation. They usually use symbols that aren't common.

Might have been Jhonson and Jhonson. Not sure.

I think it was whoever makes Pantene because it was rumoured to have placenta in it.

I test my products on humans!

@TheGreatShadow As it should be!

Religious zombies are so Pavlovian. Show them anything that contains any element of what they consider evil and they respond like they're seeing Satan himself. The context doesn't matter.
