kclark Posted March 16, 2012 Share Posted March 16, 2012 This video is just....I don't know. It's still unbelievable to me. I can't decide if these guys have nuts of steel or heads full of hot air to perform this with straight faces and off-key harmonies. I can't.... just watch this mess and have a good laugh (or cry--whatever your pleasure). http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G5TTFvVuiq4&feature=player_embedded Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Super Moderator florduh Posted March 16, 2012 Super Moderator Share Posted March 16, 2012 Well, that was awful. Thank you! It does, however, support my feeling that many rabid fundies take great pleasure in the thought that any who don't believe exactly as they do will be punished in agonizing torture forever. Sweet Fucking Jesus!!! Glory!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Positivist Posted March 16, 2012 Share Posted March 16, 2012 LOL!!! Wow. Yay, planes are crashing! And yay, look at the confused faces of :"liberal clergy" going "WTF?"! That was FUNNY! (Well, sad too.) Did you notice the minister in the background at the first bit, mouthing along with the words? And that was quite the apocalyptic cacophony at the end. Maybe that is their attempt at "text painting" in the music? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But it's not just music--I think I even remember hearing about a video game a while back where you could a play as a post-Rapture Christian killing demons or whatever. And every time you shot one your character would shout "Halleujah!" True story. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Akheia Posted March 16, 2012 Share Posted March 16, 2012 Totally hear you, kclark. I agree entirely that there's definitely an element of compensation-fantasy and revengelust going on. One of the hardest things I had to let go of when I de-converted was this idea I had that the world was just or fair, that people would get what they deserved. It took years, many years, to come to grips with the idea that ultimately, if someone doesn't make his or her own karma, there isn't any imposed otherwise. I was very fortunate to grow up in a fairly protective environment in which a dreamy-eyed young girl could actually believe the world was fair, but it's still hard for me to accept sometimes. But it still shocks me to hear Christians blithely condemn others to eternities of torment and make fun of people who will be hurt that way--even the worst criminals don't deserve that. I really don't want to think about how much I yearned for a Heaven that would allow people like that into it. It literally has left a very bad taste in my mouth to consider the idea of making a catchy, kitschy barbershop quartet song out of people's pain.

Especially when I hear about a crime involving a child (i.e. Casey Anthony) or people being jacked for their money (I guess that includes all of us at this point). It's really hard to accept that some people will actually get away with doing horrible things. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think this is the game you're talking about. http://nymag.com/news/intelligencer/22335/ All in all I find Rapture Theology to be one of the most despicable aspects of Xtianity. I'm sure I'm not the only one who's heard something like this, "No need to protect the environment, the Rapture will happen before we destroy it. Only God can end the world."

mymistake Posted March 16, 2012 Share Posted March 16, 2012 Okay I'm just weirded out by "Praise God he is cuming for me" The King is cuming!

owen652 Posted March 16, 2012 Share Posted March 16, 2012 holy crap, what just happened? If the Rapture does occur and I witness an Airbus crashing into a freeway, I'm sure the sound of it won't be as bad as that last note. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ToonForever Posted March 16, 2012 Share Posted March 16, 2012 Oh, wow... So is now a good time to admit that I was one of those that read every Left Behind Book (all 14 of 'em) and, while I found them poorly written, was fascinated by this depiction of the end times? Ah, those were the days... But that song - who *wrote* that shit? There's someone who needs a good slap upside the head. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's really hard to accept that some people will actually get away with doing horrible things. You're psychic or something. I was literally thinking of Casey Anthony when I wrote that--about how people were just gloating about how she'd "get hers" after death. Ugh! I can't stomach that kind of bloodlust masquerading as morality. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LivingLife Posted March 17, 2012 Share Posted March 17, 2012 What the fucktards probably don't know, 97% of flight is on auto pilot. That is better than a christbot flying folk around. All we heathen have to do is ensure the stewardess flashes her pussy to the captain before take-off and he is fucked with immoral thoughts and won't make the rapture. Actually there is no intelligent way to respond to this drivel..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh, I saw it, and it was - the like bar was full red and the comments were pretty bad. Even when I was at the height of my delusion, I'm pretty sure this song would still have repulsed me - both for its content and its lack of quality.

Will02 Posted March 18, 2012 Share Posted March 18, 2012 Okay I'm just weirded out by "Praise God he is cuming for me" The King is cuming! That reminds of of the south park episode where Cartman started a christian band. I couldn't watch that ep. as a fundie, but now that I've deconverted it's hilarious.

Guest Xtech Posted March 19, 2012 Share Posted March 19, 2012 I know a couple pilots that are exactly in line with this weirdness. I have my homebrewed psychological theory as to why: post 9/11 these guys feel, and with some justification, as if they are on the front lines of a war - terrorism and the advance of Muslim enemies on the Christian homeland. Add to that a very macho, and homogenous white/Christian culture, that feeds a common egoism and arrogance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Xtech Posted April 10, 2012 Share Posted April 10, 2012 This Christian pilot was scheduled to fly one of the planes that crashed on 9/11, but did not - narrowly missing death. He has taken that turn of events as some sort of .... well, destiny? And certainly a new career direction, as he is now in the ministry. http://www.marketplaceconnection.org/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=6:steve-scheibner-commercial-airline-pilot-pastor-radio-host-a-motivatioal-speaker-for-the-us-navy-oct-08&catid=2:past-programs&Itemid=3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
owen652 Posted April 11, 2012 Share Posted April 11, 2012 I really wish they hadn't taken that video down, it was freaking hilarious. barber shop stylings mixed with crashing planes and extremely poor harmonising (the last note made my cat run out of the room). That's all they're good for - laughing at. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
