The Holy Hush of Ancient Sacrifice
Interpretive Dance Theocrats by holyoffice. Excerpts:
In their best-selling series of books about the song, “Left Behind (Parallel Lines),” Jerry Jenkins and Tim LaHaye defend the rap verse’s hip references to Grandmaster Flash and Fab Five Freddy, and maintain that when Jesus returns, all believers will be united in accepting that Blondie’s cover of “The Tide Is High” is better than the original.
…
When professional athletes thank Jesus for helping them win a game, this [Touchdown Jesus] is the Jesus they’re referring to.
…
Not all Christians accept this [the Trinity]: Unitarians, Jehovah’s Witnesses, and some Pentecostals reject trinitarianism, as do Muslims. Interestingly, while this does not mean Pentecostals are Muslim, it does mean that Muslims are Jehovah’s Witnesses.

To paraphrase Scarlett Johannsen, the world’s hottest atheist: ”You want to know why the world’s so fucked up? It’s because God is apparently spending all his time on sports events and talent contests”.

Sorry… I read the post and comments, and it struck me as a bunch of people going ”la la la la, I can’t hear you talking about Dominionists.”
If they want to remain willfully ignorant of what a bunch of radicals are doing to their religion, then they shouldn’t be surprised when non-believers cringe.

The Jehovah’s Witnesses say (their core dogma) that Jesus had his second coming (invisibly) in the year 1914.It’s the ’emperors new clothes’ all over again.–Danny Haszard
