If you’ve paid even passing attention to their career, them coming out as Christians was about as shocking as Rosie O’Donnell coming out as a lesbian. And of course most of what they say is a joke. Their attitudes are a joke. Their image is a joke. Don’t be ridiculous. > > ICP snobbery is so funny. 😉 > > I get ICP just fine, which is why I considered the possibility they were joking in the first place. It’s not snobbery. I don’t really consider myself a fan (although their first few albums have some songs that are fucking hilarious and I still enjoy to this day), but it’s like . . . really? These guys dress up like clowns and talk about having sex with naked dead bitches and people are wondering if it’s a joke or not. _Really?_ ---

That’s the pain of Poe’s Law, man. ---

Is this month’s Straight Dope hosting brought to you by Poe or something? Poe’s Law refers to godders, not evil clowns threatening to “chop your back off” while guzzling strawberry soda. ---

Evil clowns threatening to “chop your back off” while guzzling strawberry soda _and_ claiming they’re secretly instructing Juggalos in God’s love… Yeah, I can still see it being serious. It’s not _likely_, but probable enough that it gave me pause. ---

I think that it is probably some high level trolling going on, as you suggested way back on page one of this thread. But I still burn with curiosity. 1. Are the fans generally in on the joke 2. When they say “fuck a scientist” in the miracles song, is that a joke? I honestly can’t tell. Harder to tell these things when you are pushing 40 and rapidly losing your cool, I guess. ---

> [@Nzinga\_Seated](#): > > 1. Are the fans generally in on the joke The fans generally _are_ the jokes. The ICP is not actually advocating “chopping off” someone’s back, no. But they really do consider themselves a Christian band from what I’ve heard. ---

I hardly ever read the thread anymore, other than speed reading and skimming. But although the crux of that fairly new article is their supposed “Godlieness”, well that shit is old news and played out- That’s albums ago, and shit. That article gave a bit more candid view, and should be the focus… they believe in God, So what?
