Actually, there are those who are a small group calling themselves Reformed Ogians. And Og itself comes from what beleivers say when they see the light ā€œOh, geeā€ā€¦ ---

\ I hate to extend a dead thread ā€“ especially here in the Pit ā€“ but I just walked in on this one, referred here by a thread on Og, the mighty. Or at least the mighty big. In the middle of all the hilarity, I was struck by this post: > [@](#): > > Perhaps there arenā€™t many here, but ther is a whole lot of them out there, especially in USA. Everything from Southern Baptists , Mormons to Assembles of God. > > These types have often a very facistisc attitude towards non-believers and moderate christians. They are more or less programed by their ā€œgodā€ and their leaders. > > They often try to cleanc out the more philisophic aspects in the bible, something I think is dangerous - not only for them selves but also for us. I owe a debt of gratitude to SH. I am a Southern Baptist ā€“ a deacon, no less! ā€“ and I had never realized I was a facist. Me, a facist my whole life. Now I truly realize what evil I have done. I renounce my facism immediately! (ā€œFacismā€ is prejudice base on someoneā€™s face, right? I first thought SH meant ā€œfascism,ā€ but that was no closer to what he was saying than ā€œfacismā€ seems to be.) In any event, I hereby vow to do my utmost to never judge someone by his/her face alone, on pain of an Og-smiting. Although I might have to draw the line at Jennifer Aniston. I judge that she is a babe. Rowr! RR \ ---
