I love the hypocrisy in the OP.
I don't think he's quite up to speed about what brainwashing is.

He's a Mormon, right? Might be that. Or something else entirely, I haven't been on RR for years. Being a Mormon is part of the reason there is a shift in RR's opinion about Beck. The other is that he wants to be inclusive of all faiths. Beck has the idea that all denominations of Christians, and other faiths, should come together. For some reason the members of RR feel that this is a bad an idea. Beck is trying to get the xtian denominations together for political reasons. It's worked for the Mormons, Catholics, and Evangelicals before on certain issues, namely, abortion and gay rights. Judging from the prevailing attitude of these RR nuts I can see why they would get bees in their bonnets over this. They are an extreme cult. Yes, the Mormons, Evangelical right-wingers, Moonies, etc. are also cults. but not to the extreme that they can't associate with other cults to collaborate on issues based on shared beliefs. RR is a cult that depends on isolation of their members in order to keep the doctrine strong. I demonstrates how fragile their rapture belief is.

Reviving this for this gem I found: HAHAHAHAHAHA! To be fair, the character was "possessed", in a manner of speaking. The hotel is kind of haunted. In the book he's basically explicitly possessed.

rr-bb.com/showthread.php?153608-tracts-for-chinese-peopleIf I'm reading this right, they changed this guy's name to "I need to grow up" because he told them they shouldn't push their religion on people & threatened him with a ban if he changed it back. Stay classy, RR. Then why are they still so bad at debate? I very much doubt that anyone expected "common sense" to be unique. Just desperately needed.

Damn, I think this person (woman, allegedly) went to one of my community colleges...there was this one bathroom that tracts kept miraculously appearing in. I never got the guts to leave atheist 'tracts', though; now I wish I had.
Oh, wow, a voice of reason! Interesting, that really is-
...uh?
And from the OP herself:
*facepalm* If it was hate speech, I sincerely doubt it would've been left up there long enough for you to see it, sweetcheeks.

And from the OP herself: *facepalm* If it was hate speech, I sincerely doubt it would've been left up there long enough for you to see it, sweetcheeks. A couple of semesters ago, I had a work-study job helping instruct and lecture a basic computer-literacy class (and an A+ technical-certification class, but that's kinda off-topic) at one of my university's smaller magnet campuses. Since all of the users in the computer-literacy classes shared the same Windows account with a roaming profile that had minimal restrictions (what a wonderful idea), students would constantly download malware, browser toolbars, and generally break things. (At least it gave the A+ students some real-world experience, I suppose.) In particular, the basic-computer literacy class was taught by another group during the evening classes for adult-ed/GED students, but I wound up having to clean up after them because they didn't properly supervise their students and generally just didn't care. Anyway, one lovely individual from this group constantly changed the wallpaper to narmtastic fundie Christian glurge and littered the IE bookmarks with proselytizing garbage, as well as installing some kind of "Living Bible" software chock full of adware and other malware. Thing is, since a roaming profile was shared by the entire class, what they did carried over for everyone. This jackass was apparently well aware of this after being explained how the roaming profile works, and that's probably why they did it. We'd clean up after them, and they'd go and do it again, even after we told the evening instructor about it. Probably unbeknownst to them, however, the Bible software (and associated malware) was the only thing not carried over to all of the computers (although the shortcuts to it were) due to how these things work, so it was a partial proselytism FAIL for them. So, this fundie trashing computers for Jesus was part of the reason that setup was changed to individual accounts with greater restrictions. Somehow, though, the original setup actually worked quite fine for me and my instructor/boss because we were very watchful of students and kept an eye on them to prevent them from doing stuff like that.

Fundie: I fail to see the problem with this. Why are you atheists so sensitive? At least it wasn't Harry Potter, or whatever.

I've wondered about that for a while. What would an Atheist track say? I am half tempted to go somewhere with a bunch of plain white paper folded in thirds like a brochure and hand them out to people.
