That probably says more about you than it does the republican...

and yeah this site isnt a satire at all

YOU ARE IRRELEVANT!

Now, will you please stop telling me about "the rapture" and how an omnipotent, omniscient god -- who, by definition, knows everything I have done and will do -- is going to condemn me to hell because I don't believe in a 2,000-year-old book?

Please, for the luvva...shut the eff up. All of you.

I think it's a valid response, if someone else brings up a "by television knowledge only" subject, that seems like a good time to remind them that the omnipotence of television in modern life has the connotations of a pretty embarrassing association.

I guess if you even knew what The Message was, you'd get the joke - it's more of an insider site.

So what if I don't own a tv? I'm a poor college student who's too busy to care. And just because I like compassion in my religion doesn't mean I'm a nutjob.

It's said (in a bragging way) by people who want to sound somehow superior to 'the masses.'

p.s. this is a direct rip off from a really popular secular site.

the second post I wrote said this:

I took the wildly popular site "stuff white people like" and tweaked it just a little to make it about people that worship God. But "creatively borrowing" ideas from the world is only one of the things we Christians like to do.

I am completely cool with people not thinking it's funny. I don't like 2 and a Half Men,but for some reaons millions of people do. But it's not cool when people skim the site and then say, "no where." Stuff white people started first, I have said that from the beginning. (I just back dated my posts so that I could have a neat, one post per day format but never indicated I was first.)

It's a matter of priority, not finance.

Nearly every shack and shanty in the slums of São Paulo has a TV in it.

These are people who have to steal electricity, who don't have a phone, who might not have running water and who probably haven't every owned a set of new clothes. Some of them collect cans for a living.

In the two years I was there it never ceased to amaze me that a family with 6 people living in a single scrapwood room would still have a TV.

Btw, as a Christian who owns a TV, I think the key is to use it appropriately. Some shows can bring families together, stimulate discussion, etc.

I’d like to think that adherents of a religion have a right to lampoon it from time to time."

Oh I have no problem with it. My point was however, I am not sure the author is an equal opportunity jokester.

I'm Christian and find it hilarious... and true.

I am wondering what the author of said site would think about putting up a similar link to a site belittling black people, or gays, or atheists?

Why not poke fun at Christians? Lord knows there's plenty of material. Maybe this is "insider humor", but as a pastor, I found the site hilarious.

I'd like to think that adherents of a religion have a right to lampoon it from time to time.

Whereas the stuff white people like is more "Here are things that are signs of white privilege" like "recycling" and "graduate school."

alison as most christian "humor" does. I don't know what is worse. Evangelical Christians that simply wont shut up about people going to hell, or the secular humanists that put stuff up like that to convince their own brand of faith.

Cause you know, white Christians are the only people that it's ok to poke fun at now..

weird.
