[OriginalGeek]

1. the upside down cross is the cross of St.Peter

who refused to be crucified in the same manner as Jesus. so technically you were just honoring a saint instead of the big guy. Most Christians don't know this though so they probably got all butthurt about satanists terrorizing them.

2. Shhhhh!

yer gonna ruin some metal bands reputations with talk like that...lol



kinda the same thing with Xmas - modern christians think it's evil atheists taking christ out of christmas but the x was a secret mark early christians used to identify each other without persecution. no idea when anyone started using it in xmas but it wasn't our fault.

11. Xmas isn't our fault for sure.

I remember when I was a kid (think 50+ years ago), it was common to abbreviate it that way, and no one screamed bloody murder over it.

3. No, that makes you fun.

You're a bad person for completely different reasons.

[OriginalGeek]

4. lol!

it's funny cuz it's true.

5. This reminds me of something that happened, camping a couple weeks ago.

We were tootling around down by the river, turning over rocks, and other things. My 5 year old found a hand-carved cross. Someone was whittling it out of two separate pieces of wood. He asked me what it was.

I just wasn't feeling having the first 'people believe in boogeymen' conversation, so I flipped it over and told him it was a sword. He spent the evening hacking away at just about everything around the campsite.

Perfect.

6. I hope he kept his sword

he may need it some day if zombie jesus comes back!



I never had that much fun camping but then my mother and stepfather were were far right fundies.

8. Hell no, being an atheist is what makes you a bad person

Turning the beloved execution icon upside makes you evil. You better hurry and repent, NFL games start in a few hours, and Jebus and gawd will be too busy helping dudes score touchdowns to give you any forgiveness.

9. True story:

When I was a young teen and being raised in a fundie home, I literally thought that when the Cowboys lost it was because god was punishing me for masturbating.


You're welcome, 70s Pisttsburgh Steelers.

10. LOL, I was told my Niners lost last year's Super Bowl

Because of all the "gay" in San Fran (it was actually said exactly like that by a coworker). Cuz gawd cares so much about football.

As a Mormon teen I was told the punishment for masturbation was death, and that the only thing worse than murder was homosexuality. It's hard to take any church seriously after that.

[Curmudgeoness]

12. Wow.

Amazing that masturbation and homosexuality are not in the Ten Commandments if they are that bad.

So tell us, did you test that rule? (I can tell you for a fact, you don't die. Nor do you go blind.)

[EvolveOrConvolve]

13. Oh, I tested the rule

I definitely tested the rule... And I'm still alive and kickin'.

[Curmudgeoness]

15. The first question any kid should ask.....

How many other things have they lied to me about?

[onager]

14. Reminds me of a famous wisecrack...

...from Bette Davis.

The outspoken, free-living Davis was always knocking heads with Hollywood's self-appointed morality cop - the very Catholic and very hypocritical* Loretta Young.

At a show biz party one night, Davis glanced at a chair and said: "Oh look! Loretta Young's been sitting here. I can still see the sign of the cross in the seat!"

*For one thing, Young treated her daughter like crap. The girl was the result of a fling between Young and Clark Gable, very married at the time and not to Young. Full story here:
