  • psker, on 12/12/2008, -5/+969I say, we can dance if we want to
    We can leave your friends behind
    Because your friends don't dance
    And if they don't dance
    Well they're no friends of mine
  • inactive, on 12/12/2008, -19/+611Not that I haven't heard of people being more retarded than this, but this is satire.

    I actually went to that church a few times to see what all the hype was about. I also volunteered in the mailroom stuffing envelops with Thank You receipts. It amazed me how much people sent in from all over the country. $1,000, $7,500, $12,000, $35,000.... There were actually very few less than $1,000. I guess that's why he had his own personal airport...Falwell Aviation.

  • STBAT25, on 12/13/2008, -3/+343My Grandma sent this asshat probably $100,000 over the years. My Dad told me Grandpa would be waiting at the pearly gates to slap the ***** out of her for sending his hard earned money to this jerk.
  • inactive, on 12/12/2008, -3/+306Please be satire, my faith in humanity is already quite low, it can't take much more of this.
  • hnazareth16, on 12/12/2008, -7/+198Smiling, fun and dancing aren't allowed in the Thomas Road Baptist Church. You're only allowed to donate money to the church for the "building" fund, nothing more.
  • TMTurtle, on 12/13/2008, -2/+180I'm gonna have to invoke Poe's Law here.

    On the internet, it's impossible to tell the difference between genuine Fundamentalism and a parody.
  • handheldchimp, on 12/13/2008, -1/+172One time I danced. What happens the next day? BBBAAAAMMMM! Cancer...

    Never danced again...
  • Akairenn, on 12/13/2008, -3/+148I don't dance.

    I think I need to learn how. Dancing my way to hell just sounds too awesome to pass up.
  • ImmortalAzrael, on 12/13/2008, -4/+145Please tell me this is a joke.
  • ben3308, on 12/13/2008, -0/+117There's no The Onion or The Chive watermark, but I'm still guessing satire.
  • roastedbagel, on 12/12/2008, -1/+116My Nana is going to Hell :*(
  • 120decibel, on 12/13/2008, -23/+130How does that explain that it is satire?

    This "church" is a money making machine that basically prints dollar bills out of the fear, hopes and most of all stupidity of poor fellows like you! Yet I don't see them taking the money to any better use but to create these kind of pamphlets and distributed them as far as they can to gain a even bigger follow ship.
  • shoblime, on 12/13/2008, -3/+108Is it bad that I can no longer tell the difference between this ***** up reality and The Onion?

    ... O RLY?
  • DubiousDrewski, on 12/13/2008, -4/+86Alright superwinner, being an atheist does not give you a license to be an *****. You make us look bad.

    Safe, dance!
  • greenleave5, on 12/13/2008, -0/+75This is a joke.
  • Nerobellum, on 12/13/2008, -2/+78Believe it or not, there was satire previous to The Onion
  • wyrdness, on 12/13/2008, -2/+77I've often wondered - how do such stupid people get such large amounts of money?
  • SniperZero, on 12/13/2008, -0/+72dugg for the dancing leads to driving foreign cars.

  • arnarag, on 12/13/2008, -0/+58Y'know that dance wasn't as safe as they said it was
  • inactive, on 12/13/2008, -0/+53Since she's going to hell anyway, might as well spend the rest of her life enjoying the depravation and sins. What are they going to do, tell her she's going to hell? She knows.
  • Mokshaguy390, on 12/13/2008, -0/+51Why do I feel that no matter what I say, Mark Twain has said it better?
  • JaysonthePirate, on 12/13/2008, -3/+54i don't like your attitude.
  • Balath, on 12/13/2008, -2/+52I go to college in Lynchburg, but not to Liberty University. I've got friends that consistently go to Thomas Road Baptist Church. I've even been an "enabler" as the person with a car that could drive them on occasion. Even if this is satire, I doubt it's far from the true Falwellian views.

    A couple of years ago, R. Dawkins spoke at one of the real schools here - Randolph Macon Women's College (back when it was still girls-only) - and a lot of Liberty kids showed up to ask retarded questions like, "What if you're wrong." I kid you not, look it up on youtube, there's video.

    God damn Falwell's influence, it is an embarrassment to religion and education. They really do have dinosaur fossils at LU labeled as being six thousand years old. I'm so glad he's dead.
  • Smuikas, on 12/13/2008, -1/+44Meanwhile:

    "Praise the Lord! Sing to The Lord a new song, His praise in the assembly of the faithful! Let Israel be glad in his Maker, let the sons of Zion rejoice in their King! Let them praise His Name with dancing, making melody to Him with timbrel and lyre! For The Lord takes pleasure in His people; He adorns the humble with victory." (Psalm 149:1-4 RSV)

    "And it was told King David, "The Lord has blessed the household of Obed-edom and all that belongs to him, because of the Ark of God." So David went and brought up the Ark of God from the house of Obed-edom to the city of David with rejoicing; and when those who bore the Ark of The Lord had gone six paces, he sacrificed an ox and a fatling. And David danced before The Lord with all his might" (2 Samuel 6:12-14 RSV)

  • inactive, on 12/13/2008, -1/+38Hahaha thats a gem, sir, thanks for sharing.
  • Mujokan, on 12/13/2008, -1/+36That's satire, but e.g. this isn't. It's hard to tell the difference. http://www.chick.com/reading/tracts/1038/1038_01.a ...
  • linagee, on 12/13/2008, -3/+38Wow. I thought this was like an anti-lesbian thing. It turns out being a thing where they guy is just jealous because she can dance and he can't. He's coveting her dancing ability! That's a sin!
  • col381, on 12/13/2008, -1/+34Surely the same applies to real life, not just on the interweb.
  • BenBenMan, on 12/13/2008, -1/+33"...and we dress real neat from our hats to our feet"

    ... but they call themselves Men Without Hats?
  • ProfessorRiffs, on 12/13/2008, -2/+32We can dance
    We can dance
    Everybody look at your pants
  • darlingt, on 12/13/2008, -0/+30Doesn't matter. You're ***** anyway.

  • Zyphron, on 12/13/2008, -4/+31@sanman
    Even if you don't believe, the majority of people who do run churches DO believe. So you cant really blame them for asking for money to support a cause that they truly believe to be good.

    You accusation would hold more water if the majority of church leaders knew their claim to be false, but still proliferated it in order to get money.

    Also, you have to realize that the catholic church, and the mega churches in the south are the exception, not the rule. The majority of churches are relatively small and often struggling just to pay the bills.
  • inactive, on 12/13/2008, -1/+28Tradeskills. They pay well, but dont require vast sums of intelligence to master. These people work their ***** asses off but quite frankly have no idea what to do with the rewards.
  • papalauthority, on 12/13/2008, -1/+28I actually grew in a baptist church... and it's pretty close to the general feeling I got about dancing... I actually did hear the 'leading to premarital sex' thing once or twice...

    though, that place was a nut house and the pastor actually told everybody fox news was the only news that we should be watching... movie theaters were as forbidden as dancing as well....

    looking back, I'm really thinking atheist was the right choice for me, now if only I could convince the parents...

  • jtinz, on 12/13/2008, -0/+27As a German, what car would I need to drive not to go to hell?
  • EasyE888, on 12/13/2008, -1/+27But Jesus was a phenomenal dancer.
  • xireddawnix, on 12/13/2008, -1/+27@SuperWinner and @bitterbug:

    I'm an atheist too but seriously, shut the hell up.

    Just be happy that cockbag Falwell is dead.
