Those people really need to get a spell-checker. Spell-checkers are from the Devil!

I keep seeing the term "poe site". Am I missing something obvious here as to its meaning? Poe's Law states that it's impossible to create a parody of a belief without someone thinking that you're completely serious. Hence, a "poe" is an argument that seems real, but is actually a parody that people are taking seriously. The real hilarity comes when a fundie comes across a site mocking their beliefs and says "Yeah, that guy tells it like it is."

Well that's because fundies are unintentionally funny. Hey, they do say some pretty batshit crazy stuff.

"The oldest idol of worship are the sexual organs."
It is from this that we get the term "bone idle"

Rosaries are also a problem because they are rooted in the Hindu concept of the mantra, and the mala. Mantra is the continued repetition of certain "sacred" names or prayers. The Lord forbids it Matthew 6:7 Later the Muslims adopted this form of prayer. Roseries are prayed to Mary, where you are actually praying to a dead woman, which is actually a demon. So not only was Jesus' mother a demon, but repeating yourself is evil. After all, you're borrowing from a non-European religion, regardess of the fact that Christianity borrows from Judaism, which borrows from several other beliefs such as Egyptian and Babylonian mythologies.Cabbage Patch Dolls- Many children have been oppressed by these dolls. Troll dolls and Cabbage Patch dolls, from the Orient, have a connection with the occult . "Xavier Roberts (born October 31, 1955, Cleveland, Georgia), the inventor and manufacturer of Cabbage Patch Kids, is an American artist and businessman. During the American Folk art movement of the late 1970s, Mr. Roberts observed several techniques involving the making of dolls from various materials. Influenced by the quilts that his mother, Eula, made, he began experimenting with a quilted doll. After much experimentation, Roberts created a type of doll he called "Little People". Roberts and a small group of friends began to travel from state to state in the Southeastern U.S. attending folk art exhibitions. At these exhibitions, Roberts began selling these handcrafted dolls he called "babies." Going into business as Original Appalachian Artworks, Inc, Roberts started producing Little People in his hometown of Cleveland, at a converted medical clinic, which he rechristened "Babyland General Hospital". The Little People evolved by 1982 into Cabbage Patch Kids, which quickly became a major toy fad. In 1984 alone, 20 million dolls were bought, and by 1999 95 million had been sold worldwide. Each doll is either hand signed by Mr Roberts[citation needed] or has his signature stamped on its left buttock." Lying for Jesus again?“Smurf” means “little devil.” en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Smurf"The original term "schtroumpf" and the accompanying language came during a meal Peyo was having with his colleague and friend André Franquin in which, having momentarily forgotten the word "salt" Peyo asked him (in French) to "pass the schtroumpf". Franquin replied: "Here's the Schtroumpf — when you are done schtroumpfing, schtroumpf it back" and the two spent the rest of the week-end speaking in schtroumpf language.[2] The name was later translated as "smurf" into English." And again.
So basically, you're supposed to sit in a whie room with nothing but 'Your' version of the Bible.
The people who made that site belong in a white room, only with padding instead of their 'good book!'

The Smurfs cartoons also portray characters who are constantly using occult symbols. In one episode, Gargamel, the evil wizard, drew a pentagram on the floor and lit candles at each point. He then danced within the pentagram while chanting a spell. The pentagram is a five pointed star used in the practice of witchcraft. As Gargamel finished chanting the spell, a magical book opened across the room. A spirit left the book and entered Gargamel's body, giving him power to battle the Smurfs. What Gargamel did in that episode is what witches have done through the centuries. This is an actual witchcraft practice which millions of children watched. So, if witchcraft appears anywhere in a story, even if used by the villains, it's occult and should be avoided. By their own admission their disqualify the Bible.Acts 8:9-24. Simon Magus practiced magic, therefore the Bible should be avoided. It contains witchcraft.

My favorite part: "The materials themselves, in many cases, contain authentic magical rituals. The Game authors, actually made sure a lot of their material and magic rituals were verified by hardcore satinists where the material was taken from magic grimoires or workbooks. Their intent is to have the game seem as real as possible. www.chick.com/articles/dnd.asp"Not only can he not spell Satanists (Or is he referring to people who worship soft, shiny fabric?), he uses Chick as a reference. It amazes me (not really) that these folks are still spouting off the "It teaches you to cast evil spells--FOR REAL!" line. Never mind that none of these idjits have ever even opened a copy of the PHB lest they be led astray. Q. What's the best way to prove a crazy assertion? A. Be too chicken shit to verify it for yourself.

I keep seeing the term "poe site". Am I missing something obvious here as to its meaning? Because people are misusing the term Poe If it was fake, it would be a satire site, like Landover Baptist A true Poe is along the lines of trying to be sarcastic, and being taken seriously by either side. Example. Me: So you talk to Jesus do you? Well I had coffee with God last week! Fundie: Really? What did he say? Reactionist: Your so full of shit, how dare you make shit up like that. Here's the Urban Dictionary for it www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=Poe%27s+Law

Yes, but Nathan Poe's Law (as opposed to E. A. Poe's Law, which is about poetry) is generally interpreted to include satire, as satire is literary sarcasm.
