"A Sabbatical?" or "My Anti-Testimony"
I first posted this "testimony" to the web on July 27, 2001. If you too have found Christianity specifically, or religion generally, to be less than satisfying for any reason, please consider posting your own "testimony" to this site by clicking here , or message me by clicking here. I t is invariably a shock to Evangelical Christians to come across someone who has turned his or her back on the “faith was once delivered unto the saints.” Most believers will quickly dismiss an ex-Christian by piously pointing out that anyone who turns away from Christ was never a real believer. Or, as an insider might say it, “They were never born again.” There is Biblical support for the assertion. 1 John 2:19, which addressed the problem of First Century apostates, states that: “They went out from us, but they were not of us; for if they had been of us, they would no doubt have continued with us: but they went out, that they might be made manifest that they were not all of us....
Poor Mr. Bozo! My favorite was the monkey.
ReplyDeleteGee... Nobody asked me to swear on the monkey when I became an atheist...
ReplyDeleteI must not have gotten one of those pamphlets.
(this clip was rather hilarious, btw)
The 21st century audience is more sophisticated, but the mega church people understand that. The same caricatures of atheism are still there. They call it "culturally relevant ministry." Whatever. In 80 years I'm confident their BS will look as stupid.
ReplyDelete'From the makers of Reefer Madness and Der Ewige Jude...'
ReplyDeleteTwo things.
ReplyDelete1. Someone should start up a Godless Society meeting group.
2. The chick leading the GS is hot. I'd hit that. I'm just sayin'.
It never hurts to have teh hawt girlz in your corner! But I guess not having xmas off was a deal breaker...
ReplyDeleteI bet I know what happens next; Mr. Bozo rats the atheists out to the principal, who puts the kibosh on the whole atheist thing. Then, the evilution-believing atheists somehow end up running back to teh lard with their tails between their legs.
The End
Give up Christmas! No way! I'll stay an ignorant superstitious fool because I want to keep my yearly gift giving ritual!
ReplyDeleteThe hot flapper chick was Lina Basquette. The other girl was cute too!
ReplyDeleteI LMAO.
ReplyDeleteSilly Christians. Atheists don't swear oaths; that's the kind of thing we were trying to get away from.
And the dude's name was actually "Bozo"? Well, it matches his clothes!
And I'll second the other posters: yeah, xmas (big party ONE day a year) is worth putting up with church and church people harassing you and sucking up your time, money and energy the rest of the year and trying to run your life. Not.
Atheists don't need an excuse for a party! [g]
They should have spanked that monkey!
