The Things They Say

(Or: These people live amongst us. They are Christians. Gawd* help us!)

Even in the 21st century the christian traditions of self-delusion, contradiction, hate, ignorance and absurdity are being upheld with a monumentally enthusiastic vigour. Here are a few quotes that I have trawled from various sources, they are all from Christians who (one supposes) believe themselves to be sane and rational. And they certainly believe themselves to be good Jesus lovin', God fearin' Christians. Asterisks may sometimes be used to vaguely disguise language of a more adult nature. Again, I stress that the quotes below (which are all quoted verbatim - inkluding the speeling and the gramatical errors errors) are all by Christians. Contributions are welcome - just email me.

"I don't spread my legs and allow a man to put his penis in my vagina, ejaculate, and then kill an innocent human being.  I will not support female stupidity.  If a woman does not want to have a baby.. abstinence is 100% effective.  Stop killing people because you can't keep your drawers on." - Paula in a newsgroup posting - submitted by FluxWildly.

 

A big thank you for the following (anonymous) contributions from Miranda Writes - they all originate from alt.recovery.catholicism :

"Take away God, take away civil law & order, take away the penalty for doing wrong (even if just a quick hanging), and all we will do as mankind is rape, murder, steal, and pillage." 

"A woman's actual function is to produce an egg and to have the fertilized egg attach itself for protection and nourishment for the 1st 9 months of it's life.  Function by design."

"The RCC really wants us to use the aspirin method - have the woman put an aspirin behind the left knee and hold it there with the right knee. That way, one is in no way messing around with that which God created other than abstention, which is the way he wants."

 

Thanks are also due to 'Halah' and the other enlightened souls of alt.flame.jesus.christ.

 

The following two examples have been submitted by Don Kresch. Thanks Don, I am still giggling!
