You'd think that when you're at the point where you're saying "Hey maybe those Nazis are okay after all!" that you'd stop and ask what the gently caress is wrong with you, but Freep just embraces it wholeheartedly.

Guavanaut posted:You mean the people who chose to deny the divinity of Christ the Lord? Paul says in Romans that salvation through Jesus is "first to the Jew, then the Gentile," mostly because the Jews are still God's chosen people. Some Christians (though not many I'd wager) even believe that as long as Jews keep the Law, that they can still be saved. Still even the ones who think that Jews are going to Hell because of their rejection of Jesus still point to Old Testament verses that say that God is with Israel and any nation that's against Israel is against God, and that God still loves them and they are his chosen people even if they're damned to suffer for eternity and so he just really hopes they all come to Jesus.

twistedmentat posted:I remember ages ago in the big chick tracks thread looking up a bible verse that in the track said "And Jesus spoke "He who pracitices homosexuality may lay waste to the land and will be destroyed by my father" but when I looked up the actual passage it was something like "and Jesus look down and saw his sandal was undone and did it and continued to the market" or something else really blanal. My favorite one of those was in the rock music tract where he had a guy say "God wants you to burn everything you have associated with rock music!" and there was a verse attached to it. I knew there was no way that the Bible literally said that, so I looked up the verse and it turned out to say something like "Some people collected a bunch of scrolls and burned them and they were worth a bunch of gold."

I was surprised to see a couple of (relatively) accurate posts in that soccer thread.quote:Soccer flourishes because it is inexpensive to play. This is actually fairly true I've heard, since soccer doesn't really require more than a ball it's easily played almost anywhere. This I think is part of the reason why there was an outcry against instant replay being implemented in soccer. I mean I realize his point was "Soccer is only popular because those poor countries can't afford better sports" but still. quote:However, the low scoring we hear about in soccer - a 3 to 2 soccer match is not much different than a 21 to 14 football game. Still just 5 scores in the game. This is also slightly accurate, though there's more ways to score in football than just a touchdown, and even a touchdown has two parts to the score, but if touchdowns weren't worth six points then you'd have 3-2 football games as well. And then there's baseball which depending on how the fielders play can also have really low-scoring games, but I don't hear Freepers complaining about that. However... quote:Football is, if anything, more popular now that it was back then and Soccer's popularity (or lack thereof) is virtually unchanged. Well, I guess he's partially right, soccer's popularity as the world's most popular sport is virtually unchanged.

RagnarokAngel posted:Resigning yourself to only drink Pepsi is punishment enough I guess. Except that as someone even pointed out over there, Pepsi supports the gay agenda so they were already boycotting Pepsi. The one Freeper who said that their daughter would only drink Pepsi from now on dropped that quick when it was pointed out and said they'd be switching to RC Cola. I guess there's the generic brands too. Though I'm not surprised that not every Freeper is up on what they're supposed to boycott. It's come up before with things like search engines and computers.

VirtualStranger posted:According to Wikipedia: Yeah, because God said he'd never destroy the world with a flood again, fears that the ice caps will melt and flood the world are obviously ridiculous. Actually for many fundamentalists the belief is that the world cannot be destroyed through any means, because humanity obviously has to be around for the second coming. Therefore we can do whatever we want to the planet since making ourselves extinct is an impossibility.

Little Blackfly posted:Even if a flood that literally wipes out all life on earth won't happen, do they think that no floods will happen? I remember Conservapedia pulling some bullshit that "MSM won't refer to them as floods, just flooding, because calling them floods would be admitting that the Great Flood was fact." They obviously can't believe that no floods will happen, but the logic seems to be that God will never again send a global flood. Since global warming implies a global flood, then clearly the Bible says this is impossible and so any claims that it will happen are atheist lies. They obviously think even if another global flood did happen, that it wouldn't wipe out all life or humanity (because they're present at the apocalypse), but they think a global flood at all, even one that only wiped out 20% of the human population, is still impossible because God promised no more global floods. So their position is even IF global warming is real, it doesn't matter because global flooding is impossible. They'll also probably use an analogy of an ice cube floating in your drink doesn't make the drink overflow when it melts, so ice caps melting won't cause a rise in sea level. quote:Even if it wouldn't render humanity literally extinct, does the possibility of untold destruction and inconceivable amounts of human suffering not bother them at all, or is it all moot in the grand end-season match between god and satan? Who cares how much pain we cause now, Jesus is coming eventually, so everything will be fine? "Well when the tribulation happens everyone left on earth will suffer and die anyway so global warming doesn't even matter. Heck, maybe the people who die in it got off lucky because they won't live to suffer even worse!" Or they could be like my mom, who when she hears about horrible tragedies happening in the world, says "Well the Bible says that the world will get worse until Jesus comes back and we can't do anything to stop it, so oh well."  E-Tank posted:There actually are, but that means it's a *good* thing because once the tribulation hits all the good little christians go to heaven. So if anything they want it to come even faster. While I don't think that most fundamentalists believe it, there may be an element of "If we gently caress up the world enough then God will be forced to do the second coming before the world gets destroyed." Maybe only the extremest of the extremists believe that. But most fundies believe Revelation is more or less an accurate telling of the future, and that the temple needs to be reconstructed in Jerusalem before the second coming will happen. Since the world can't end before the temple is rebuilt, then logically nothing we do to the planet can damage it or threaten humanity in any way before then. Usually the ones that want the tribulation to come faster are the ones trying to get the temple rebuilt since it's a big requirement for the end times.

made of bees posted:That's a disturbing implication of that comparison that I don't think a lot of people even notice. It's bad enough to vilify gay people like that, but it also sounds like they don't really have any idea pedophilia is harmful, they just think it's 'gross' the same as they do homosexuality. I think it was Slacktivist that explained why fundamentalists and the like are always comparing bestiality and pedophilia to homosexuality, it's because they understand sex differently than we do. Whereas we base it on the ability to consent, they base it on the idea of sin. I think he used some sort of box analogy. So to us, we can say it's obvious an animal or child can't consent, and thus is wrong, but an adult male can consent to another adult male, so there's no problem there. To them, "man and woman" is right, whereas everything else is sin. To them, bestiality, pedophilia, and homosexuality are all sins and therefore all the same, which is why they constantly compare them. Because to their point of view, one's the same as another, and why they firmly believe that allowing gays to be accepted will lead to marrying toasters and sheep, because to them we're just legalizing sin, which means we will of course legalize all sin eventually. They can't wrap their heads around the fact that others base it on consent.

It's actually that Jesus is God as part of the Trinity (one God, three persons) and therefore if Old Testament God said it then by definition Jesus and the Holy Spirit also said it. That's how they can claim that Jesus said being gay is wrong.

Jesus responded that it is written that the two shall become one flesh and to let no one separate what God joined together. Their response was "But Moses said you could divorce your wife!" and Jesus responded "It was because you guys were stubborn idiots so Moses let you do it, but I'm telling you if you divorce your wife for any reason but unfaithfulness and marry someone else then you're an adulterer."

quote:The minimum wage is totally contrary to God’s Revealed Word and is a direct assault on liberty. Hmm, I wonder if this Freeper feels the same way about weekly/biweekly paychecks, since Deuteronomy 24 explicitly states: 14 You shall not withhold the wages of poor and needy laborers, whether other Israelites or aliens who reside in your land in one of your towns. 15 You shall pay them their wages daily before sunset, because they are poor and their livelihood depends on them; otherwise they might cry to the Lord against you, and you would incur guilt. The answer is of course they don't feel the same way about that because they haven't actually read the bible and don't give a poo poo about what it says.

I'm pretty sure that I've seen Freepers say that the concept of racism didn't exist until Leninism or something, and therefore racism was invented by leftists.OAquinas posted:Basically, as long as you don't say the n-word you're not racist or a bad person. Freep has a simplified understanding of racism that basically boils down to you can only be racist if you say "I hate blacks because their skin color is black." To them even if you say the n-word it's not necessarily racist, and they'll reference that Chris Rock bit to try and support it (a bit that Chris Rock has said he'll never do again because of racists using it to justify their racism). Though of course they'll steer clear of actually saying the word and delete posts that have it because despite this they're still aware they'll look bad if they say it outright. But yeah their understanding of it means that as far as they're concerned saying the things they do is just "telling it like it is" and not actually racist.

As was mentioned earlier while Freep and Stormfront are completely opposite on the position of Israel, there's quite a bit of antisemitism on Freep. It comes from the fact that they don't so much like Jews as Israel is a necessary thing to bring about the Second Coming in their minds, so they have to support Israel so that the tribulation/rapture/end of the world can happen.

Ghost of Reagan Past posted:"Obamaphones" are a product of a Reagan-era program to provide the impoverished with phones. I think a reason why it might have suddenly become objectionable is because phones have gotten more advanced (and cheaper) since Bush was President. Freepers and their kind might have been somewhat okay with a bare-bones flip phone for the poor (though they would still complain) but now that smartphones are cheap (and in some cases free) it's a sign that the poor is "living in luxury" on their tax dollars since why should THEY get a free phone that can surf the internet and check email and play music? It should just be able to make phone calls and that's it! It's the same reason why they say food stamps should only be able to buy bags of beans and rice.
