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?
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.
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|
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.
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. -_-
