The Jesus people were on campus today
 
They were on every corner. Big yellow signs, huge signs like 8 feet across and 5 feet high. They were talking and yelling but they wouldn't look you in the eye. I told one of them in passing, "I love Satan." A girl passing the other way overheard and burst out laughing.

Why are Jesus people so obnoxious?

TheDom 09.07.2006 04:00 PM

haha

at my school every morning kids form a "prayer circle" around the flag pole.

last week some kid pushed his way in the middle and started screaming "SATAN WILL EAT YOUR BABIES" and shit like that.

porkmarras 09.07.2006 04:01 PM

And what sort of jesus were they banging on about?

krastian 09.07.2006 04:01 PM

A Personal Jesus?

k-krack 09.07.2006 04:03 PM

i hate those bastards. some came to our high school with the treat of free miniature bibles. i asked (paraphrase) "why are you here? this is not a religious school, and if we wanted to look into this, we would."

gmku 09.07.2006 04:03 PM

They were out-of-towners, to be sure. Hillbilly freaks. Bible thumpers, fire and brimstone, yelling about how we were just wasting our lives if we didn't sign on with the Jesus team.

Rob Instigator 09.07.2006 04:05 PM

tell them jesus loved whores and lepers and addicts and diseased people and the lowest of the low, and that Jeebus said that they, his "foloowers" should do the same.

I want to burn down lakewood church

porkmarras 09.07.2006 04:05 PM

Can i ask (and this out of complete ignorance on my part) how influential are these people in certain parts of the USA?I mean,you read and hear this and that but i'd like to read about more specific episodes of bigotry and such things.

There's a great book that explains why those twats are horribly wrong. I like to call it the Bible. I think they all have copies of it, but rarely do they actually read the fucking thing.

gmku 09.07.2006 04:06 PM

[Edit: to Rob Instigator]

Nah, it's a waste of energy. They don't really hear you or see you. I think their leader makes them drink weird Kool Aid before they descend on us.

GAYEST. POST. EVER.

!@#$%! 09.07.2006 04:07 PM

someone posted a link to this picture once. not only is it very memorable, but i also love it:

 


it's in an MIT website, no less. gotta love those geeks.

and why are jesus people obnoxious, you ask? for the same reason we love those geeks, but they are found in the opposite pole of the spectrum: they are a bunch of fucking morons. and so they arouse our contempt.

porkmarras 09.07.2006 04:13 PM

But Jesus is such a horribly obvious target too!Who enjoys battering someone who simply hasn't even existed but whose unproven,invisible presence has sometimes saved reformed alcoholics,bono and the likes?

atari 2600 09.07.2006 04:17 PM


 

don't mess wit de Jesus

Cantankerous 09.07.2006 04:17 PM

oh, but i am not a reformed alcoholic or bono.

eh, jesus may be one of the most powerful ghosts in history. coming from a catholic country, i know what it can do. and looking at the american ayatollahs, well, it's worse here even....

porkmarras 09.07.2006 04:19 PM

Thanks thy Lord for that.

Porkie comes from a more Catholic country, let's not forget that.

I always think, regardless of empirical evidence, it's what 'Jesus' represents that is more important than anything else.

I'm doing really well for gay posts this evening.

AND Second Baptist, too!!!!!!!!!



I was actually eating lunch at the Racquet Club with some friends after a long night of partying. We were all cracked out looking and the people at the Racquet Club didnt want to serve us because they didnt believe we were members. Anyways, once we established that we were members, we sat down at our table.
We're all talkin really loud about last night, right? About all the coke(not me, but the others), liquor, and what not that was done.
Motherfuckin' ED YOUNG, the pastor or whatever at Second Baptist (the creepiest church ever) comes to our table and closes his eyes and prays for us.
One of my friends grabbed his ass as he walked away from our table.

this is ed:
 

Cantankerous 09.07.2006 04:25 PM

Savage Clone 09.07.2006 04:25 PM

He's hot. I would have totally grabbed his ass.

i dont know if italy is more catholic than some regions of latin america. we have the infiltration of the opus dei, and while they are sick and tired of the fucking pope, whenever he comes visit us people flock the streets and have fits of hysteria.

my whole point was that in spite of the badness of catholicism, born-agains are even worse, much much worse-- they have control of the greatest nuclear arsenal on the planet, for starters...

cryptowonderdruginvogue 09.07.2006 04:28 PM

he was all like
"Lord, please guide these teenagers in your path so that they may see the light!!!"

Around here we refer to them as the God Squad

Oh yeah. As the reverend Mark Edward Smith once sang, "And What about the meek?/ I said they've got a bloody cheek"

Cantankerous 09.07.2006 04:29 PM

that is so fucked up.

Savage Clone 09.07.2006 04:32 PM

Do the pins look like devils?

!@#$%! 09.07.2006 04:33 PM

^^ hey i like how your ikea shows in yellow over blue. it looks like you stole a sign & glued it to the screen. never mind, i am sleep deprived.

Cantankerous 09.07.2006 04:34 PM

i hate ikea.

for some reason i momentarily read the title of this thread as "the black people were on campus today."
when i first saw it i thought it said "jesus was on campus today"

Is that not some sort of Hegelian parody then? Ah, God bless nursery rhymes and their malevolent parodies. Spiffing.

Of course latin America is more Catholic.Look at the size of it compared to Italy.Jeovah Witnesses are the second religion(i think some of the italian posters would confirm this)and bizarrely enough the last two guys i went out with were both from that background but in Britain.I find people a little more obsessed with religion in other countries sometimes.I mean,i've never really talked about it much with anyone while growing up because noone was really arsed about it.

HaydenAsche 09.07.2006 04:36 PM

"Jesus people"?

What the hell is that supposed to mean?

Cantankerous 09.07.2006 04:38 PM

do you not know what they are, hayden?

HaydenAsche 09.07.2006 04:39 PM

I'm assuming dumbass means Christians. That's such a 2nd grade pseudo-athiest way to say it, though.

(maybe you assumed im a gringo. but anyway...)
