How to Trick a Christian
Strangest Tribe
Posts: 2,502
No harm or ill will meant by this thread, but I have done this on more than one occasion and it usually happens this time of year with curious outcomes.
Last week myself and an elderly friend (Frank) were traveling and pulled into a service station for gas and supplies. As we entered the parking lot, a transient young man and his dog had one of those cardboard signs proclaiming
"holiday traveler... needing food and money for holiday trip home."
As we pulled in to the pumps my friend says "looks like a healthy young man to me...he should have a job...cut his beard and hair...guess he thinks the world owes him"
I'm Thinking Chris McCandless so I go over and give the guy a few $$ and pet his dog, make small talk, (he's headed to Charleston, SC) and I'm located in the Midwest. So I wish him luck and head inside to pay.
When I get inside my friend says "you give him money?"
"Yeah, worried about his dog"
he says ..."yeah, you know he has to feed his dog"
I thought about it for a minute and said..."Frank...aren't you Baptist?"
"Yeah"
Well, I said ..."That young man could be Jesus and I think it's funny that I have no religious connections and here I go offering him a few bucks and you have already passed judgement on him...just sayin..."
Frank kinda grumbled and made that "matter-of -fact" facial expression and paid for his coke and hot dog.
I was two people behind Frank in line with my Coke and hotdog and had to also settle up on the gas.
When I was finished paying, I'm walking out to the truck and happen to notice Frank was over laughing and cutting up with the our transient young man.
So I wait for him to get back to the truck and I asked him.."did you give him any money?"
Frank said "Yeah $5...seemed like a good kid"

"But --you say that Dreams have no power here? Tell me, Lucifer Morningstar...Ask yourselves, all of you...What power would hell have if those here imprisoned were not able to Dream of Heaven?" Dream speaking to Lucifer as written by Neil Gaiman.
"What a stupid lamb."

I'm just amused at how these things work... you know...
the power of suggestion vs. a person's belief system
... and the kicker is this is all coming from a complete agnostic.

Yes they are...
"What a stupid lamb."
"What a sick, masochistic lion."
It's pretty hypocritical of you to judge him for allegedly judging.
...or maybe Frank is Jesus...

Good for him. You're still a hypocrite.

If he isn't religious how is he a hypocrite? It's the bible stating to not pass judgement, he might be perfectly fine with doing it!

Non-Christians, on the other hand, they never judge someone like that and are always open and chartible to everyone.

Why is it that Christianity always get made fun of the most?
It's ones choice to believe in something and have faith in something that is beyond the human life. Whether or not one believes this to be contrary shouldn't provoke jokes or any harmful ill will towards that individual.
I know that it wasn't the posters intent to ridicule or even came up with the joke but it seems that's i'm reading more and more crap spewed out Christianity and I just wonder why? What makes it so laughable? Judaism, Muslim (i forget the name for it) and a whole plethora of religions don't get the same slack as Christianity does.
I don't fully believe in it but I'm not going to sit here and make fun of it just because I don't. Truth is I could see myself believing in it. I just don't get all the hostility towards this religion
I doubt that would work though.
We don't really care.
I'm no dude! Dudette!
yeah, but the baptists are figuring he'll be back any down now to kick some homo/heathen ass.
becos this is america and people deal more with the amusing foibles of christianity than any other religion. if i lived in iran i'd probly be making mohamed jokes all the time too. then i'd get my head chopped off.
herein lies the problem with fervently devout christians... no sense of humor or irony :(
Dammit, I guess I will have to send you a check!! lol
"What a stupid lamb."
"What a sick, masochistic lion."
Because at lot of vocal Christians act like their shit doesn't stink and try to push their beliefs down everyone's throat by getting legislation passed and telling everyone how to live.
nowadays hits you when you're young
I will admit I make fun of Christianity and I am Christian. Not really a good Christian, but ya know....
I just like to make fun of everything though. I just don't get when I make fun of other religions people crucify me. SEE SEE!!! I have sense of humor!
Anyway... it seems when I make fun of other peoples religion people have the same reaction...HOW DARE YOU!??!!?! Give me an effn break.
All legislation that is passed tells people how to live. It doesn't have to be based in Christianity.
Pick your next lame justification for bashing....

I know it's easy to attack but come on, there are plenty of religions that are in America (although I know this country was founded by Christians thus a majority are Christians) and if one makes fun of them it's like killing the president.
I'm not advocating for us to make fun of any religion just so we're clear
i advocate making fun of all religions. minorities are just more sensitive and can sue you if you get the wrong person. it's the plight of the WASP.
