What I love about fundies...

[rageaholic]

Is how many of the people quoted here end up making a better arguement against their position than for it. For example, many of the quotes defending beating your kids make liberals out to be "sissies" who are too "soft". They try to make things like equal rights and gay marriage out to be a bad thing and always want to go back to how it was in the "good ol days". They end up spewing so much hatred and venom that no matter what insane claims they make about their opponents, it's hard not to instantly want to thake their opponents side, realizing they can't possibly be as batshit insane as the raving bible thumping lunitic.

In a way, reading some of the shit fundies believe has made me a better person. I am so repulsed by some of them that I will go out of my way not to be like them. It's like a quote I heard one time "Nobody is useless, you can always set a bad example". It definately applies to fundies.

I find it extremely hard to find anything to love about misogynistic, homophobic, unscientific people that actively seek to force their beliefs on you with laws and politics. But, if I didn't care about the people they abuse and disrespect and if I didn't live on the same planet with them and they didn't threaten everyone else with extinction because of their warmongering I would find their level of ignorance extremely amusing.

I've read so many quotes that I have a very thick skin when it comes to insults from people who are IRL fundies.

It's like getting a vaccine against obnoxiousness.

I've read so many horrible quotes I once had to stop reading the mainpaige for a couple of months.

So, the cure for raging against stupidity is to expose myself to more stupidity?

Hmm.

I find that I've actually grown smarter through fundies. Not because I believe their arguments, but because it inspired me to find information used to debunk those claims.

I have to say that educationally, FSTDT is probably the greatest thing that has ever happened to me.

LOL me too. I'm normally pretty lazy, but seeing stupidity in action made me want to learn more about the world so I wouldn't be ignorant like that. I got my best grades in my social science classes when I was watching religious debates on youtube and on other message boards.

Plus when you hear so many piss poor arguements and logical fallacies, it helps identify poor arguements. Many of these quotes would go great in logic textbooks as examples of fallacies and how NOT to win an arguement.

What helps is that the Fundies take issues that the school system talks very little about. Evolution, gay rights, abortion, etc.

What I love about Fundies is the sick high I get from reading their insane drivel.

One thing I love about fundies is that they drink the living water of Jesus.

How can we receive this living water so that we will never be thirsty again? If we are not drinking the living water of Jesus every day surely the first step is to admit that we need this living water that Jesus is offering us. Nothing will ever change if we continue to deny we need the living water of Jesus. Then we can turn to Jesus for his living water.

The Necessity of Swallowing - The Sin of Spilling Seed
Most of us are familiar with the Biblical story of Onan, whose sin against God was that of spilling his seed on the ground:

And Onan knew that the seed should not be his; and it came to pass, when he went in unto his brother's wife, that he spilled it on the ground, lest that he should give seed to his brother. 10 And the thing which he did displeased the LORD: wherefore he slew him also. (Genesis 38:9)

This scriptural passage has traditionally been used as an injunction against masturbation. However, upon closer reading, it becomes apparent that this scenario has nothing to do with masturbation at all. Onan was not masturbating; he was copulating with his brother’s wife (and there was a good reason for that, in God’s plan). His sin was pulling out (coitus interruptus) and ejaculating on the ground rather than into the woman. He did so in order to avoid impregnating her. However, he could have easily avoided God’s wrath (and the penalty of death), by simply having the woman fellate him and then swallow his semen. This would have kept him from impregnating her, as well as completely prevented the spilling of seed that was an offense in God’s eyes.

The extreme case of Onan aside, how bad is it in general to spill semen? The Old Testament ranks it with other acts of uncleanliness that meet with God’s disapproval: And if any man's seed of copulation go out from him, then he shall wash all his flesh in water, and be unclean until the even. 17 And every garment, and every skin, whereon is the seed of copulation, shall be washed with water, and be unclean until the even. (Leviticus 15:16-17) Getting ejaculate on oneself or one’s clothing results in uncleanness that requires extensive reparations and atonement. Obviously one simple way to prevent the spillage of semen is to have your partner perform fellatio and swallow the emission. In fact, in light of these scriptures, performing fellatio to completion and then spitting out the resulting emission seems almost unthinkable.

The Benefits of Swallowing - Drink of the Living Water
Aside from swallowing semen as a measure to prevent the waste and spillage of seed, ingesting ejaculate can have spiritual benefits, as we will see. Although the Old Testament makes reference to the bitterness of semen (And he shall cause the woman to drink the bitter water. [Numbers 5:24]), the New Testament casts the act of consuming ejaculate in a much more affirming light, as in the following passage, where Jesus speaks to the woman of Samaria about the gift of “living water”:

Jesus answered her, "If you knew the gift of God, and who it is that is saying to you, "Give me a drink,' you would have asked him, and he would have given you living water." 11 The woman said to him, "Sir, you have no bucket, and the well is deep. Where do you get that living water?...15 The woman said to him, "Sir, give me this water, so that I may never be thirsty or have to keep coming here to draw water." 16 Jesus said to her, "Go, call your husband, and come back." (John 4:10-16)

“Living water” in this context refers to semen, which literally is the liquid of life. As Christ indicates, drinking of the “living water” provides a spiritual replenishment for the soul. When the woman asks Jesus where she can get this “water”, he tells her to fetch her husband, clearly with the intention of instructing her on how to fellate him and swallow his semen.

I'll take a raincheck on fellating Jesus every day, kthnxbai.

Oh hell yes, I came here after Propeller.com/Netscape Forums went belly up so I could get my debate news/keep up with what's going on in the world. This helped push me to research even more, and managed to show me arguments I hadn't observed yet.

What I love about Fundies is the sick high I get from reading their insane drivel.

The other reason I like coming here, I need to get my "rage fix" - I get so pissed off I can work myself into rare form, and that helps me study and focus on my work.

[DeadpanDoubter]

This website convinced me to listen to my doubts about what my parents and pastors had taught me. I read the Bible a hell of a lot more than before, I paid closer attention to the things my parents said, and I realized how very...not for me it all was.

[Admiral Lithp]

Odd, I find that when I get too emotionally invested in shit I read on the internet, whatever else I'm doing suffers.

[itachirumon]

There's a limit of course, that fine line between "OH FUCK YEAH BRYAN FISCHER CAN EAT AN ARSENIC LACED DICK oohhhh what a rush I can do my homework now" and "RAGFAFJDJAAJSPGFPJFPCWPRAAAGE AGAINST ALL THE THINGS!"

[Mlle Antéchrist]

I always find it amusing when YECs start up with the, "If evolution is true, why do our bodies have *insert seemingly counter intuitive trait here*!?" crap, completely failing to realize that these kinds of statements are better used as arguments against creationism/"intelligent design".
