Asimov Posted October 20, 2005 Share Posted October 20, 2005 Hehehe...I have an evil idea... I think kinda like Fight Club...we should have homework assignments. First Homework assignment: Infiltrate a church. Become a leading member. Get really outspoken against all the hot-button topics such as abortion and gay marriage and....both of those. And then once you've received televised popularity and a group following, deconvert. Oh man that would kick so much ass....hahahaha Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also...well, can you imagine ME pretending to be a Christian now? "Bless me Father...you rotten, betraying fucker...." "What was that, Sister Becca?" "Er, nothing. Praise Be, Brothers and Sisters in Gilead!" "Huh?" "NOTHING. Hey, have you beaten your kids to keep them out of Hell today?" ...yyyyeah. Wouldn't work.

Asimov Posted October 20, 2005 Author Share Posted October 20, 2005 Anthony Flew is a deist. He does not claim to follow the Christian God.

Godless Wonder Posted October 21, 2005 Share Posted October 21, 2005 There's no need to fake stuff like this. There's plenty of things like this that are the real deal. E.g. Lanakila, on this board was a moderator over on ChristianForums.com for a long time. Not because she was faking it, but because she was a Christian. Some Christians may tout Antony Flew, (I know I got spam from co-workers linking to that Washington Times article about how the "foundations of atheism are failing" or whatever the hell nonsense it was when A. Flew was in the news) but he's not even Christian, at most, he's a hellbound Deist. I mean, they've got one guy, and he's not even a Christian. Then they've got the flakes like C. S. Lewis and Lee Strubel, the supposedly former atheists who don't appear to have much of a grasp of the arguments even the brand new atheists have a good handle on. To do what is suggested in the OP is to make oneself into the atheist/non-Christian version of Lee Strobel, and lt reinforces the idea that "well, you never were a REAL Christian." I think it's a bad idea. If you're going to go in, spend some time preparing some good comedy, and go in with guns blazing and heckle the shit out of them. AT least it's honest.

Fweethawt Posted October 21, 2005 Share Posted October 21, 2005 Repeat after me, "fuck god, jesus, and the holy-spirit, amen". Then we'll think about it. And he has to use the letter 'O' when typing out "God". Either that, or he has to use ExC's patented Booby-O*. *ExC's patented Booby-O* = (@) We knew you were joking, MG.

scitsofreaky Posted October 21, 2005 Share Posted October 21, 2005 I know, but they still use him...apparently he's ceded what he said and isn't a deist anymore...I heard that on IG. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Do they have any evidence of this? I'd actually be surprised if they do, it'd be a first. Even so, some were already saying he was a xian right after he said he wasn't an atheist, and they would actually quote the same interview where he said he was not a christian.

All Gods Fail Posted October 21, 2005 Share Posted October 21, 2005 As to the OP, it's a wonderful fantasy. I thought something similar would work against the Republican party. But I'd be in if we could figure out a way to make a buck off the xtians. They just throw it away to fatcats like Robertson anyway. He's got enough diamond mines, dammit! I want in on that xtian gravy train myself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vigile Posted October 21, 2005 Share Posted October 21, 2005 It's just an idea, because Christians always tout about Anthony Flew, not to mention Josh McDowell and Lee Strobel. Charles Templeton, Billy Graham's sidekick did it for the atheists: http://exchristian.net/exchristian/2003/02...s-templeton.php And I seriously doubt McDowell was ever anything close to an atheist. A Pat Boone wannabe maybe. Him and Strobel both are capitalizing on this idea and if anything are both just cynical xtians out to make a buck and become famous.
