“Are you serious?”

stupidity.gif

We have been asked so many times lately “Are you serious?” so I decided to do a page dedicated to just how serious we are.

There are many blogs out there that are as serious as you take them. We are one of them. If you take Slice of Laodicea or CRN or Ken Silva’s personal website in all it’s glorious missivness, serious, then yes, you better take us even more serious. If you do not take these people serious I doubt you will take us serious so you should just hope you are regenerate and repent.

I hope that clears the rumors up about what we are all about.

    What arrogance and what hatred of the Church of Jesus Christ you display so proudly as pagans of the most deceitful sort–as those who would disguise themselves as actually being of the faith. You boast and laugh at your own apostacy when you ought to be repenting of it. In this, and if you ever were truly saved, you reveal that you are among those to whom the book of Hebrews describes as being “impossible” to ever return back to Christ after rejecting Him and attacking his church. However, my guess is that you–like so many emergents–grew up in the church and yet were never saved in the first place…as evidenced by what has become manifest here on your silly little cess pool of a site. You learned just enough about the faith, the scriptures, church history, doctrines, and even the language of Christendom to make yourselves better-disguised wolves in your attacks upon everything and everyone you have never liked about Christianity. You believe that because you now have the internet and a collective group of other apostate renegades, who find company in misery, that somehow you now have the power you always wanted. This ‘need for power” or “need for a voice” may date back to your teen years perhaps, at the church your parents made you attend and listen to things in church you simply rejected about a God you never accepted? Well, that very real God of creation sees right through your paper bag, knows who you are, and knows precisely when you will stand before Him in judgement in the future. I have this feeling there won’t be any blog-laughs, crude jokes, nor cutting criticism of those who care deeply about reaching the lost with the Truth (like Dr. MacArthur does) on that day. Is it because you yourself have yet to be reached by Truth that you find those who declare it your enemies? It appears so. Nonetheless, I will pray for you.

    Is there anyone doing serious talk out there? I read the Bible other day and Jesus looked very serious to me. Then i tuned in christians today, and they are all MOCKING of all kinda stuff!!! HAHA, disapointing. xit.

    Hey BW,

    On the serious side here for an answer…There are some good blogs out there and of course some bad ones, yet a blog is not the best place to learn about God, Jesus or Christianity. Blogs are about opinions… and rarely facts. I do have a personal blog where I talk of God, Jesus, religion in general and keeping faith in the post-modern world.
    You can read it here:

    I also have a variety of other blogs that do teach, some are liberal and some conservative… but all express faith in Jesus in some way that you may find of interest if you are truly searching.

    I do agree that we Christians should not be mocking unbelievers… and this site does not do that… if fact it mocks the believers that mock everyone. = )

    Truth is not relative, nor subjective. Those who read this thread and throw rocks, truly do not understand the tactics taken here to promote truth and smash those who try to pervert it. Emergent, New Age, Ecumenical, and those who fall into this category, truly do not understand the deception taking place into the ‘Church’ today. We have been invaded by very crafty wolves in very real looking sheep’s clothing. People better start reading their Bibles themselves and stop depending on Sunday morning pastor’s to interpret it for them. Matt. 24:4

    Truthseeker1961,

    I really doubt that is you TRUTHFUL name. But here we go. We back everything you stated here on this site… so THANK YOU! We hold to truth reject; justice as that is to “emergent” and reject any type of ecumenical action that brings together different denominations (unless we all agree to hate those we choose to collectively hate!)

    We also agree that everyone should read the bible but never meditate on its words, contemplate the meanings or seek what God is saying in those verses… Like you we promote only mindless reading and instead of listening to your pastor’s sermons we suggest only listening to sermons by Spurgeon, Calvin or Luther.

    One must never think outside the box… I mean that was already done for us by Calvin and Luther!

    Peace to you and hell to those who oppose us!
    Unity in hate!

    I don’t have a problem with being spiritual as we all have this side to us in some shape or form.

    Vicars seem to be reasonable down to earth people living a relatively normal life. But where do these religious obsessors come from, how are they developed, where do they breed from? I just think they are mad and fail to see life for what it really is! Absolute nut jobs, hiding their insanity behind religion.

    Hi, You do realize one of your whipping boys is a ghost? Sliceoflaodicea is a dead site. It doesn’t forward anywhere, hasn’t for about a year, so maybe they smartened up? Anyway, your dead links and references to a non-existent site aren’t helping your website.

    BTW – I appreciate the humor and attempt to marginalize the “discernment’ foolishness, but to be honest, it took me a while to figure out what your blog is really about. I’m still not sure I know yet, maybe that’s what you want, but if your are believers, (and this is my opinion — I could be wrong) I am not sure this satire accomplishes anything worthwhile except a few laughs and some satisfied egos. I think it goes in the category of Christian in-fighting even if it is dressed up in satire… its the same thing that the ones you mock do, just a different approach. The non-believers that comment on here see that too and find more reasons to reject Christ.. and that can’t be good.

    Is it wise? Is it fruitful? Is it Christ-like? I don’t think so, but maybe that’s just me.

    — If I got it wrong, and you are actually some agnosto-athiest Christian haters… well then ..have fun with it while you still have time left.

    …”agnosto-athiest Christian haters”ā€¦

    Don’t you think it is possible for people to find Christianity silly WITHOUT hating Christians? Do you NEED to have that “hate” element in there to make you really feel like you are in some kind of battle?
    …Well, of course you do. Without believing that people hate you where would you be? Nothing quite as humiliating as being irrelevant is there?
    Listen. Everybody isn’t terrified by death. Everybody doesn’t need a scheme to deny the fact that we are animals. Everybody doesn’t want to surrender their intellect for a silly promise of pie in the sky. They don’t hate you. They don’t even consider you relevant.
    But I guess that is even worse for you, isn’t it?

    Some of us do know what satire is. I see it so so strongly on this site that it almost jumps off my screen and slaps me in the face. But the truth is, Christians should not be mocking other believers, and anyone who is one would feel in their heart that it would be wrong to do so. I don’t know if you claim to be Christian or not. If yes, you would then say that you only mock those who you feel are phony. Then I suggest you take this whole thing a little more seriously, because while I ado see some phonies being made fun of, I also see genuine Christians being made fun of.

    In order for satire to work correctly, the person doing it has to take themselves and the subject matter seriously, and then turn it into a joke in order to make a point. Otherwise it’s just someone making fun of things… and this is basically what I see here.

  38. Oh gosh… I’m glad I decided to check out the rest of your blog and found this… Especially after reading some of your blog and responses… Point well taken though I’m not sure this is the best way because of how many people read this and get worked up because they do not realize the sarcasm/ satire. Also, maybe I didn’t read your site clear enough, BUT are you believers and followers of Christ? Because I’m guessing that since the majority of people who read won’t realize it is supposed to be a satire- it’s going to further portray Christians in a negative light… Ironically, in a sense, you are becoming like the people (truth discerners) you mock. You think they are stupid for thinking they know it- thus you are smarter them- and you display this superiority by mocking those you consider to be wrong! At least that how this blog comes across after realizing this was only supposed to be a satire- a mockery…
    Either way, cheers! Take care guys!

      I have to laugh out loud when the “sober serious believer” spews out venom daily, breaking many commandments and many of Jesus’ teachings in the process, and then they are SHOCKED when they get some sarcastic teasing in response.
