and yes I'm aware this has been online for years, but for some reason it never gets any less amusing

I've never seen it before but I have heard all that crap for about four decades now. It never ceases to amaze me that grown people who are rational about almost every thing else in their lives actually believe that nonsense and teach it to their children. It's tragic. And it's sad. People who believe that stuff have been victimized and mentally abused by their own family members and they go on to be abusers themselves. It's a legitimate mental disease in my estimation whether self induced or from programming.

LOL @ the clap your hands one.

and grassharrpr i agree with you 100%. Delusions are bred, people arent born with that type of disorder. Christianity, or really any type of organized religion, is a self-hating vicious circle, always pressuring the believer that they need to better themselves in some way to live up to the standards of their chosen deity. it's really pretty sickening.

You ain't kidding. In respect to religious belief in others, I span the spectrum of laughing at it, to confused by it, to angry at it, to saddened by it, to ambivalent to it, and finally just creeped out by it. Life on earth with the "faithful" is like being in a Twilight Zone episode or a really bad science fiction movie.

May seem counterintuitive, but that's how shit went down.
