I can't. I just can't.

This is... I have no words for how disgusting this girl is. Serious, or troll, it is COMPLETELY UNCALLED FOR.

Just paused it for a second because I knew it couldn't go anywhere good after she said "we prayed for atheists everywhere."

I can't believe I'm about to watch the rest of this...

Paused again...so wait her argument is that God loves us so much he sent a HUGE earthquake to wake us up. Uhm...there are several flaws in that argument darling...and I'm pretty sure that while Japan has a small Christian community it is not ENTIRELY filled with atheists...so why did he pick THEM to shake?

Sigh, unpause.

"I'm going to be praying even harder" OH GOD SHE'S GOING TO CAUSE MORE DEVASTATION AND LOSS OF LIFE! QUICK SOMEONE STOP HER!

HER ARGUMENT MAKES NO SENSE WTH! *bashes head against table*

You know what I'm going to get on my knees and pray for? For the families and friends of those affected by the earthquake. Isn't THAT what we are supposed to be praying for?

I seriously can't watch this without pausing every five seconds. There is just WAY TOO MUCH WRONG WITH THIS!

Guess God is about to start his world tour of waking up atheists?

Well see the difference is you'd be praying to help those in need, or what we call the Right Reason to Pray.

She's praying for the reason of it rationalizes a completely unjustified and sanctimonious sense of superiority built off the suffering of others. Otherwise known as the EXACT KIND OF PRAYING JESUS SAID DON'T DO IN THE BIBLE HE MADE THIS VERY CLEAR MY PRIEST READ US THE PASSAGE ALL THE TIME HOW DO YOU FUCK THAT UP? way of praying.

Roman Catholics giving religious people a bad name all day every day

I hope this chick just... gets a heavenly punch in the face.

[kiaxet]

As a Roman Catholic - and someone who is absolutely disgusted by this video - I'm offended by your comment. I know my denomination has its issues, but please don't tar us all with the same brush the idiot in the video is using.

[sosurrealrawr.livejournal.com]

I can understand not wanting to be lumped in with the few loud ones who give religons a bad name, and I want to say that I'm really, truly sorry. I have my own problems with Roman Catholic individuals, but I get that they don't represent a whole group and I shouldn't have said that. I apologize for being a bitch. :(

[kiaxet]

It's easy for one person to turn you off an entire group with their behavior - been there, done that, unfortunately. Still, thank you for the apology, and don't worry about it - we're good. :)

She seemed to be holding back laughter in a few places, but I call Poe's Law. She knows the fundie language really well ("encourage(d)," etc). If she's a troll, she's a good one. Totally poor taste, though, I agree. If I were betting on it, though, I'd say she's for real.

[fairytaledreams.livejournal.com]

Second time I've seen this and I still can't articulate my rage well enough. As a Christian, this makes me so angry.

Seriously, and people wonder why we HAVE such a bad name x.x;

/seethes again silently

...I have nothing.

I absolutely have nothing. I just. I cannot believe people believe this.

I'm not going to watch this because I just know this is going to make me immensely angry. But in what I'm sure is related, what really pisses me the hell off is this prevalent idea of "God sent this natural disaster to punish people!"

NO, NO, NO HE DID NOT. "But it's in the Bible!" NO, ACTUALLY, IT IS NOT. In all of the stories where God causes Natural Disaster A to destroy City B, the following happens:
- God is unhappy with City B.
- God tells someone (a prophet, judge, chosen person, etc.) that he is going to destroy City B at this time for this reason, unless City B repents of what it has done wrong.
- Prophet or judge goes to the town and tells them all this. He tells them that city will be destroyed in a certain way, at a certain time, for a certain reason, unless people of the town change their ways.
- If they do not change their ways (Sodom & Gomorrah), disaster happens. If they DO change their ways (Ninevah), disaster is averted, happy times all around.

The point is, there is NO BIBLICAL BASIS for God just causing natural disasters at some random point because he doesn't like a particular city. Now, if some person were to go to a city today and say "God is going to mess up this town on this day/time unless you change this," and then it happened exactly that way, THEN I would be inclined to believe it was something more. But it hasn't, and I don't think it ever will, so any claims that God causes this stuff is buuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuullshiiiiiiiit.

Sorry for being long-winded, it just really really pisses me off when people do this. 8|

[bouncy-erbear.livejournal.com]

You know...even I forgot that aspect of the stories. :o Nice point.

[artoni.livejournal.com]

I WAS JUST THINKING THIS THE OTHER DAY. 99% of the stories have actual Warning with it at some point, right? I leave the 1 there because knowing my memory... :[

That said, I'm sure Japan has crazy people like we do, re; REPENT and all that stuff. So...:/

[lynxgriffin.livejournal.com]

Yeah, I believe that was usually the point of them. There may have been one without a warning, Bible is full of small stories that I can't remember, but as far as I can remember (Noah and the Ark, Sodom and Gomorrah, Ninevah and the like) there was always a warning and prophet involved.

[dontbepanic.livejournal.com]

Didn't God also say that he wouldn't make those kind of disasters again? I seem to recall a story in which God personally creates a huge disaster and then afterward ends up saying "Hm, maybe I should seek anger management..." and promises never to personally cause them again.

Of course, there's a lot of loopholes later, with devastating blessed items and cataclysmic irony to those who don't listen to the prophets. I'm pretty sure he never really started the whole 'angry god' business ever again though.

[lynxgriffin.livejournal.com]

Yes, that was in the Noah story back in Genesis...specifically, "I won't destroy the world this way again. I made this double rainbow all across the sky to prove it!"

And yes, most of the following 'angry god' stuff in the Old Testament is not so much God having beef with humanity in general, as it is God having beef specifically with Israel, since He made a pact with them early on in their history (hence the whole Ark of the Covenant.) If you look at most of the stories there, it is really not God going "I find you all unworthy and smite you all!" to humanity, as it is "Hey, you promised me you'd do this for me and you're not holding up your end of the deal!" to Israel.

I'm just going to sit back and lol.

[universejuice.livejournal.com]

I resisted watching this, and I'm glad, because I know it would have made me mad. Thankfully, it's gotten taken down, and I heard that /b/ got ahold of her personal information and trolled her out of her mind until she came out as a troll herself.

That doesn't change the fact that this is in the absolute poorest taste. I don't care if it's a joke, I don't see how these kinds of things can be construed as funny. It blows my mind.

[thebatcopter.livejournal.com]

She gave them the wrong information.

[vorkon.livejournal.com]

Oh man, you'd better watch out Shaela! LJ just warned me that your journal may contain *gasp* ADULT CONTENT! When did you become a pornographer? And why didn't you tell me! :op

(Note: I wasn't logged in at the time. I was amused. ^.^ )

But yeah. I had this one pegged as a troll from the get-go. However, even if I suppose I can't help but compliment her acting skills, it's a particularly despicable one. Worse, it isn't even funny. Mean-spirited and FUNNY I can forgive. Just plain mean-spirited sucks. -_-
