5. If everyone stopped believing in god (and not just any god, but the Abrahamic god), we'd all turn into baby-raping cannibals. There's parts of Glasgow where that's considered normal. ;D

Mike Warnke -- He was exposed by a Christian magazine, Cornerstone: www.cornerstonemag.com/features/iss098/sellingsatan.htmI had never heard of Warnke until I started researching the satanic scare of the 80s. Naturally it would have been a Christian publication that exposed him. Outside of that sub-culture Warnke was an unknown. I know from those who were raised in a fundie home Warnke was well-known and most members of that group believed his satanic adventure story. For those outside of that culture there is no question. No investigation is necessary. It's obviously fiction and simply not believable. After Cornerstone exposed Warke many fundies were pissed (Brits: angry, not drunk) not at Warnke for lying to them but at the authors of the Cornerstone article for telling people that Warnke was lying. They think that because Warnke "brought people to Christ" he is a hero even if he was a liar. They have their priorities. Yeah, I was exposed to Warnke in 1994--AFTER that happened. Imagine, if you will, a 9-year-old girl being told that there is a secret organization of Satanists who routinely break all 10 commandments, mutilate peoples' pets, and eat babies. Imagine that this girl is also told that every single symbol that is not explicitly Christian is therefore Satanic. I had nightmares for weeks. So they were still hanging on to the Warnke crap for some time after he was exposed. This doesn't surprise me. I know that some of those fundie pockets are so isolated that they are completely ignorant about anything that happens in the real world -- and even their own little world if it is something that they would rather not believe.

My favorite scare tactic is sneaking up behind someone and shouting "BOO!"

My first thought was dentistry. Deorthodontical? Removal of braces?

6/. Chick Tracts... 7/. Atheists hate God so much they want to burn in hell. 8/. Teh gay is contagious and gays all have AIDS. 9/. The Rapture. 10/. If you look at a guy, you'll get pregnant. 11/. Deuteronomy 28. (They don't use that one any more, but fuck it'd be funny if they did. I'd go back to church with popcorn...) 12/. Nu Atheists are oppressing us with their mocking and scoffing, stop taking away our freedom to bash queers and chain women to the sink you fascists!

That slippery slope arguement that if gays get married then people will soon be marrying children and pets. And toasters. Can't forget toasters. And, if we let somebody marry a toaster what's to say that he can't marry two toasters? Three toasters? Then we would have people married to as many as 500 toasters! Hmmmm.... I just thought of something. Donald Trump, I am writing to inform you that I am now married to all of your money. I'll be taking my wife home now. While traditional marriage formalised women as property, I don't think you can afford the bride price...

13) Using tax dollars to actually help the people instead of just funding war, anti-crime measures and things that benefit me personally automatically leads to forced abortions, no civil rights, death panels and the end of democracy. Just ignore those bible passages about charity and the golden rule. 14) If you read books about a school full of witches or sparkly vampires, or you play a role-playing game involving pretend magic you will instantly become possessed with demons who have nothing better to do than try to taunt you into doing evil things. Also, if your character in that role-playing game dies, you'll commit suicide. 15) If someone tries to witness to you about Christ, and you reply with something along the lines of "I'm young! I have plenty of time to make up my mind!", you will be killed in a car accident or robbery ten minutes later.
Ack, no TRUE Scotsman would rape and eat babies.
