Furthermore, Dex was describing an episode of “South Park,” which happened exactly as he said. Satan returned to Earth to challenge Jesus to a pay-per-view wrestling event. Jesus was woefully unprepared, and just when it seemed it was all over, Satan took a dive. Seems everyone in town bet on Satan because he was so much bigger, so Satan put a ton of money on Jesus and took the outrageous odds.

I kind of assumed Lib knew that. I mean, I have never watched South Park in my life, and I knew that, so I figured it was part of popular cultural knowledge at this point. Maybe I was wrong…
I thought it was a South Park reference (I knew they had some stuff with Jesus and Satan in a couple of episodes), but I was not sure.
Thanks for clearing it up Phil.

Oh, I’m so ashamed! I’ve seen the error of my ways! I’ll repent, I swear I will! Father, forgive me, for I had a sense of humour, that I mistakingly thought Thou hadst given me… but now, thanks to Libertarian’s sister (or was it David’s sister?), I’ve seen THE LIGHT!
I’ll convert immediately to the Puritan faith of the 1600s, dress entirely in black, and never smile again, ever, at anything. [/sarcasm]
Except… I just wonder if one of these Exemplary Christians would help me out…
Like, wasn’t there something about not pointing out the mite in another person’s eye while ignoring the timber in your own?
… and I think I remember something about who was supposed to cast the first stone?
… and who was supposed to turn the other cheek?
But then, after all, people who BELIEVE are SAVED, and they don’t have to do any of that stuff Jesus talked about, do they? [/sarcastic sermon]
Now, to complete your conversion, CKDex, you can’t just never laugh; you have to get righteously offended at any joke/possibly offensive remark too. (You’ve been amazingly patient w/ RobRoy in the “Weird Bible stories” thread–this must stop!)

Okay, so I’m not up on South Park and atheism, stuff like that. I guess what I need to do is enlist some help from some well known and respected atheists.
I can take them right off the list of America’s Fifty Most Admired. Let’s see, there’s um … [number ten … fourteen … fifty-two …] Okay, forget that. I’ll just ask Harry Binswanger, assuming I can pry his head out of Ayn Rand’s dead ass.

All right, already, I stand corrected. No need to crucify me, for heaven’s sake.

Finally! We’ve been waiting for you to ask. What took you so long?!
Yeah. We wouldn’t want to start another religion! < smirk >
Oh, don’t worry. Natural selection and the nature gods will take care of that. That’s why theists are already nearly extinct.

Dex - and here I assumed that your religion was based on a movie starring Cary Grant, Katharine Hepburn, and James Stewart. Since The Philadelphia Story is one of the all-time coolest movies, I was planning on joining your church!
But since you brought up South Park…

Hey, howcum Godly Guy just carpet-bombs with his little biblical quotes, then runs like a bunny, never lookinmg back?
At least ARG and Snark had the decency to stick around and get into those fun religious mud-wrestling matches with us doomed heathens!
What is religious mud, and how is it different from regular mud?
Is it dirt mixed with holy water?
Yes, RT, you win a point for recognizing my handle… but that ain’t the foundation of my religion, it’s the foundation of my manners… and I wish it was the foundation of my economic status.
And I presume that your politics are based on the movie whence your screen name is taken? … which would coincide pretty well with my politics, too. Land of the Spree, Home of the Knave… and tricks with mirrors.
Well, I think its like atheist mud, except you don’t sling it in people’s faces. [obligatory smiley to indicate joke :)]

I came to preach because it seemed you needed it and you don’t and therefore Iwill not give up my pearls because it is written in Matthew 7:6-Give not which is Holy unto the dogs, neither cast ye your pearls before swine, lest they trample them under their feet, and turn again and rend you. Also Jesus will win and remorse is all that will be left from you in the end. As for when…signs point to the Rapture accouring this year and the Christians dissapearing so God can punish people like you!
