"Play sports, go to Hell. (But only if you're a girl.)"
Posted by Estee on 03-10-05 at 11:07 AM
I'm now convinced that somewhere on the Internet, someone has saved a lot of time by deciding breathing=sin.No, not heavy breathing. Normal breathing.
No, not the heaving kind, either.

First ST (isn't that missing a letter?) I don't know why you keep sending us to this stuff. I suspect you are actually a radical Christian tricking us into reading this stuff, hoping to gain a few converts.Second, my favorite part is this: "A telltale sign of paganism is nudity." So do good Christians have those babies birthed already wearing clothes? Do they dress to shower? Or avoid showering?
Third, though -- Duh. No exercise. Bad heart. Early death. Second wife for the old guy. It's simple.

First ST (isn't that missing a letter?) Now that you mention it, I am short a few pieces of mail...
Are you feeling well today? Normally, I'd expect you to say it was missing two letters. Consecutive. Between 'g' and 'j'.
> I don't know why you keep sending us to this stuff. I suspect

Ummm... no?
>Second, my favorite part is this: "A telltale sign of paganism

> already wearing clothes?
Yes, but they have to get dressed in the womb with the doctor's assistance.
You wouldn't believe the shape of the forceps.
> Do they dress to shower? Or avoid showering?
Hairshirts are traditionally wash-and-wear, so...
>Third, though -- Duh. No exercise. Bad heart.
>Early death. Second wife for the old guy.
>It's simple.
I was thinking more along the lines of 'She didn't exercise and fine-tune her motor skills, so if we get into a fight, I know I can take her.'

According to the webmaster of this one, it's also about -- well -- I just found the main Women's Page and there's an article entitled 'Just Do It', which is all about why you're supposed to obey your husband no matter what. It probably goes nicely with the one labeled 'Divorce is a sin', which I haven't looked at yet. I don't even want to get near the one titled 'Mutual Submission.'

Posted by Lisapooh on 03-10-05 at 11:24 AM
so, I started to get all indignant and prepared to look up the statistics that show that girls that participate in sports are less likely to experiment with drugs, alcohol and sex, but then the whole article struck me as kind of funny. And I happen to like my immodest attire. It accentuates the junk in my trunk.

nailbone, i don't think anyone here thinks this is representative of mainstream Christianity and I don't think anyone believes you are a crackpot. As a Christian, I find it very hard to take offense, because this article is ridiculous and I can't imagine anyone thinking it has anything to do with me or my faith. And if someone did think I was a grade A wingnut simply because I am a Christian - why in the world would I care about that person's opinion anyway?

I guess I just figure people are entitled to their own opinions. And sometimes, yes, it makes me wince a little - but honestly I don't care. I don't care if people think I'm naive or stupid or deluded. I don't care if people generalize or condescend or purposefully antagonize me. That falls squarely in the "their problem not mine" category. The truth is a lot of Christians have given people ammunition. This article is a perfect example of that. A lot of people have had encounters with pushy holy-rollers that have left an extremely negative impression on them. That's the experience and exposure they have had. I don't think me saying "BUT I'M NOT LIKE THAT NOT ALL CHRISTIANS ARE LIKE THAT" loudly and repeatedly is a very effective way to change their mind. I think that when you and me and Jims, etc exhibit the traits and principles of Christiainity in our daily lives without defensiveness it's a better counterpoint to the stereotype.

An Internet essay is just about as bite-free as it gets, so -- ta-da. I don't even remotely believe all Christians back this. I mean, I'm almost entirely certain the real percentage can't be any higher than ninety-eight. And as far as crackpots go, of course you're not all crackpots. Just all of the ones on this board!

"FTR"
Posted by FesterFan1 on 03-10-05 at 11:40 AM
I do not believe for a second that this is an opinion shared by the majority of the Christian community. It's clearly (if it's real, that is, and I still have my doubts in that regard) some lunatic fringe group.

I mean, think of the consequences for Church League Softball alone if this idea had any kind of real backing.

I'm sorry, Boner. I guess I've just had my fill of the Christian extremists lately. And it truly does make me question what faith I have.FTR, most of my impatience with this type of carp is due to the fact that I have a staff assistant who would just eat this junk up and is constantly harping on and on about how I am "not saved" (don't know what she thinks baptism and confirmation are) and that Catholics (which I am admittedly quickly backing away from, but still identify with) are not "real" Christians (whatever that means), and that I am a deep, dark sinner because she doesn't approve of my lifestyle. This, despite the fact that I have saved her from being reprimanded by the University administration or worse many times due to her continual insistence on accosting students regarding religion/lifestyle and wanting to prominently display her religious "decorations" in our public area. She irritates me on a daily basis with pronouncements like what is found in the article. Granted, I am predisposed to dislike self-righteous "Christians" in any case, but sometimes my irritation cannot stay within the boundaries. And, having read the article, my irritation escaped.
I would not, for all the world, want one of my favorite RTVW people mad at me. Forgiven?
I'm such a slut for the blues.

I am sorry that you have to listen to that crap from a co-worker. I don't understand why some "Christians" would act that way. The only thing your co-worker is accomplishing is putting a bad taste in your mouth about Christianity (sp?) and pushing you away from it. What a shame, I promise we are not all like that

Wow. Even as a Christian, I am completely baffled by this article. Completely and utterly baffled.I particularly liked the argument that women shouldn't play sports because it can eat up a family's time and resounces. Whereas, if the family had a son on the football team, that wouldn't use any resources? Yeah, sure.
I think the writer is some crybaby, who got pinned once too many times by his sisters when he were little.

LAST EDITED ON 03-10-05 AT 12:06 PM (EST)Wow, this is the type of church I grew up in. I looked at the directory and found I knew many of these churches well. However, my favorite part of the site was this quote (which I actually believe is quite relevant and true):
"If you vote Democrat or Republican, you are part of the problem. We need a new government or America WILL face certain financial, economic and moral doom.
If you're a Christian who is loyal to the Republicans, you had better get down on your knees and beg God to open your eyes to the blatant wickedness that exists within BOTH parties."

I especially enjoyed the part where the author implied that in teaching, the ancient Hebrew ways are best because they were based on the Bible. Since the Bible came first and all.

I, am, a, comma, freak.I can't help it. I think it stems back to my year abroad in Germany. German uses commas just about every other word, because everything is passive (quite the definition of passive/agressive, no?)
Plus, I like commas. They're cute.
