Ravenstar Posted February 14, 2014 Share Posted February 14, 2014 When we have Rush, April Wine, Leonard Cohen and Billy Talent… I have to say no to Nickelback Michael Buble? idk.. he annoys me, no one that young should be like that. (except maybe Harry Connick Jr. - but he can carry it 'cause he's also funny, and can act). I like Gordon Lightfoot - but he's ALL Canadian, there's no crossover appeal - Like Stompin' Tom Connors Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

★ Citsonga ★ Posted February 16, 2014 Share Posted February 16, 2014 Everyone has their own taste in music, and Nickelback clearly have appeal to large audiences. Sure, I'd take Rush over Nickelback too, but they both have their place. Trashing a band just because they don't fit your particular musical taste and mocking anyone who likes them is a bit childish.

ContraBardus Posted February 16, 2014 Share Posted February 16, 2014 Yup. That's Ironsides. A man who thought himself cleverer than the "unbeliever" in much the same way a colonial white man thought himself smarter than the "savages" who's land he helped himself too. He was quite fond of telling moral oral type stories that involved an idiot strawman who was an Atheist that could never contradict his "flawless logic". His writings are never any deeper than self righteous spiritual masturbation. I've read a bit of his work, but never found him particularly pleasant or witty. Christians seem to think he was one of the cleverest people ever for some strange reason. Mostly because he strokes their beliefs and has an imaginary idiot represent those who don't share those beliefs. I didn't read anything he wrote until after I stopped believing, but I do know that his stories wouldn't have impressed me even when I did believe. He was too simplistic and his Atheist character was always too much of a cartoon to be real. It was amusing for me, but not for any reason he would have liked. I'd have torn him to shreds in any sort of debate, though I doubt he'd have realized it if I had. Mmmmm. Meatloaf. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CelticBorealis Posted February 21, 2014 Share Posted February 21, 2014 Thought I would join in... My Facebook is stunning (I'm a missionary, sort of...): "Alcohol is not in my vodkabulary. However, I looked it up on Whiskypedia and learned that if you drink it it is likely tequilya. God calls the Christian to live dry. If you are a Christian who drinks then set an example and stop for the sake of our world of alcoholics." This was a post two weeks ago: "The Weight of Glory essay... Laptop, coffee, candles, big speakers, good music... Let's do this..." The next day: "Hi guys. Please pray - we baptized my laptop two days ago with a large jug of coffee, and rather than being sanctified or anything else, it seemed to go on strike (who knew?). It's still rather wet, and we are unsure as to how open to salvation it currently is. Please pray that it's heart be cleansed of all tea[coffee?], and that it enters beautiful service for the kingdom once more. Thanks a lot. It means a lot to me..." The saga concluded last night: "My laptop's working! It decided to repent and open it's heart, and now it is back in full service in the kingdom! Praise God! Thank you all for your prayer and support! God bless you...to all my non-Christian friends: open up your hearts and YOU WILL BE HEALED!!!" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jds22 Posted February 22, 2014 Share Posted February 22, 2014 My sister said she wants to get "Closer to God in 2014". To my knowledge, there's only one way to get closer to god and personally I don't want that to happen to me for another 30-40 years. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
antix Posted February 22, 2014 Share Posted February 22, 2014 Anymore its people posting Christian phrases who have lost their jobs or have gone through some personal crisis and for whatever reason, half the people have to post something by Joel Osteen. UGH! Someone posted a pic of Osteen's palatial estate and and I shared it: no responses from the people who think he is great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
owen652 Posted March 2, 2014 Share Posted March 2, 2014 BUMP. This today from an old school friend. I'm tempted to tear him a new one, but he's one of the few Christian people I know who I actually like. Not sure what to do about it, cos this really pissed me off to be honest.

It would be fine if nobody had heard of this Jesus fellow. But when my friends post Jesus stuff over and over and over....it's more than 'sharing' . It has now become a case of an OCD nut foisting his/her beliefs upon me. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lilith666 Posted March 7, 2014 Share Posted March 7, 2014 "I am so excited, I was invited to go with a family to either Cleveland or Pittsburgh in April to see a baseball game.. whohooo Hubby said yes I can go & he'll pay for my ticket Yes God is good." 1) This hardly needs repeating, as other people here and elsewhere have said it so many times, but is a baseball game so important that a god would be concerned with it? This lady's catchphrase is "God is good." I didn't think she considered Gawd's blessings to be that cheap. 2) She actually needs her husband's permission to go to a sports event. That's pathetic.

xliar Posted March 7, 2014 Share Posted March 7, 2014 In my smallish FB community I am terribly out-numbered by the hardcore anti Obama fundies. I swear it seems some spend their entire day posting stupid shit from the "super hard right, everything jesus". Why must they fabricate all the pursecution? Those poor. pitiful victims. Can't we just let them worship peacefully? We're fucking monsters, I nearly hate us! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reply with a similar anti-christian post. Hihi! Tell them you're concerned about his sanity. Kidding, please don't. What frustrates me about people posting about God on Facebook is the impersonal nature of it. If someone really cares about me and my soul, then I expect them to write to me personally, and engage with me directly. Otherwise, their Facebook posts come across not as concern for the souls of non-Christians, but just another way of getting a 'hit', a spiritual high, shooting up on the good God vibes, to make themselves feel better - but not me. I have Christian friends who post stuff on facebook who haven't got the time of day for me now that I've told them I'm an atheist. In the words of Jerry DeWitt: "I’m not surprised that virtually everyone that I know and love, and have helped - spent my life helping – now believes I’m going to Hell. I’m not surprised by that. I expected that, I really did. What is hurting me is that they’re all taking it so well. I’m telling you, I literally sat around at night and cry about it like, why aren’t these people banging my door down?" 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deva Posted March 7, 2014 Share Posted March 7, 2014 Ugh.. its disgusting. I know I couldn't look at stuff like that on any regular basis so I would have to block this kind of thing. Its so smug, self-righteous and stupid. They aren't doing it because they really care, either, its their "responsibility." And you are right, its also incredibly easy to post. You could delete and ignore it, or you could say something like "Now I know all about it, so you need not post religion to me again." I doubt that would help, though.

ExCBooster Posted March 7, 2014 Share Posted March 7, 2014 The best part: "Your Christian Friend" even signed with their very own fake handwriting font. That's what shows how tremendously "sincere" they are. *headdesk* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thereisnoperfect Posted March 7, 2014 Share Posted March 7, 2014 Along with all of that, it's based in a kind of magical thinking, that all you need is to be "exposed" to the Christianity virus and you will catch it (or re-catch it, in our case). So FB posts become another easy way to fulfill their obligation to "witness" without the commitment of forming a relationship and finding a rhetorically effective way to talk to someone. Another similar option, as someone recently pointed out, is coming to ex-c and going into the Lion's Den and not-really-arguing with us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
centauri Posted March 7, 2014 Share Posted March 7, 2014 I would amend that Christian friend memo to read: "It's now my responsibility to do the same to you". They love you the same way a telemarketer does when they cold call you at dinner time. Then when you tell Christians you're not interested, they'll play the persecution card. On top of that they'll use the Nuremberg defense and claim they're just following orders. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
