Sigh. The bible covers up "nation" in "one nation under god", which fits his logic perfectly.--Sir Modusoperandi ^Boinc! 00:35, 14 September 2006 (UTC)

Wait...this is a joke about a person? Wow, then in that case I didn't get the main joke either. --The Zombiebaron 01:21, 14 September 2006 (UTC)

I fear I've greatly overestimated my abilities...he's a fundie on the cover of a mag for fundies...the headers are for stories for fundies in the mag for fundies. I'll go sit in the corner now.--Sir Modusoperandi ^Boinc! 01:30, 14 September 2006 (UTC)

Okay, but I'm not sure why you would name a magazine after a bay with really awesome tides...wait, if you're not talking about the bay...what the fuck is a fundie? --The Zombiebaron 02:17, 14 September 2006 (UTC)

The Bay of Fundy? WTF? Fundie: Christian Fundamentalist. Typically takes all of the Bible literally (especially the bad shit). Generally Protestant or Southern Baptist, predominantly American (with the occasional yahoo popping up in Canada). Seriously unpleasant people who think that the rules in a book writ (mostly) by a desert tribe that was constantly at war with it's neighbours is still a good way to govern your life. Quasi-controls the most powerful nation in the world (Bush's only veto - stem cell research, gay marriage - no way, evolution - only if it took place in six days with a dude named Jehovah at the helm, etc).--Sir Modusoperandi ^Boinc! 02:27, 14 September 2006 (UTC)

Yay! You got the refrence to Canada's greatest bay (and have earned that Canadian User template :D). Oh and on the topic of fundies: Hey buddy, can you really expect a Jewish guy from Toronto to have indepth knowlage of the Bible belt? --The Zombiebaron 02:30, 14 September 2006 (UTC)

I'm an atheist from agnostic parents who moved far west to get the fuck away from red neck relatives. I caught a glimpse of fundie-ism after 9/11 (when the nuts started to come out of the woodwork to say shit like "God let this happen because America has - turned from righteousness/turned homo/turned commie/etc". Of course, as an atheist I'm probably more sensitive to their "vibe", as I'm higher up on their list of "things God hates", you're a lower priority as (depending on whichever nutjob fundie sect is talking) Jews are just Christians that haven't found Christ yet (get the line on the pick about "talking down to kikes" now?).

I made the pic (and later the page) mostly to clear my head. It's cathartic. I'm just glad that some people "get it". You should feel lucky with the whole not understanding thing, it took weeks after I was done research for the page before I felt clean again. If you don't find it funny, c'est la vie. I wasn't expecting all that many people to understand (indeed, the response has been greater than I expected, VFP notwithstanding).--Sir Modusoperandi ^Boinc! 02:44, 14 September 2006 (UTC)

You write long stuff, and then leave messages on my talk page so I'll read it? That should be a crime. Anywho...religion is kinda a touchy topic for somepeople (not me, or you apparantly). I try to stay away from it (Church of Scatology not included) as a general rule, just cause I don't want to have to deal with the hastle of arguing against peoples deep-seeded belifes about gods/God/Barney. Anyway, as Jesus said: "Each to his own, eh?". --The Zombiebaron 03:01, 14 September 2006 (UTC)

Some might kvetch, but if religion (in particular, the misuse thereof) is off the table...then freedom of speech really isn't free, eh? I might feel differently if I was in Texas, but I'm not. So fuck "dinosaurland", fuck "no stem cell research" and fuck "answersingenesis.org".--Sir Modusoperandi ^Boinc! 03:10, 14 September 2006 (UTC)

You misunderstand me. It is not as much off the table, as that I am suggesting that it may be a topic that will cause hostility. I'm not say "DON'T FUCK WITH RELIGION", cause I fuck with religion all the time, and its fun. But I am merely giving advise. Take it or leave it. Or go on a spree of vandalizing pages with anti-God-ular slogans! (But don't say I told you to, eh?) --The Zombiebaron 03:20, 14 September 2006 (UTC)

I just keep my own meagre opinion to pages I make. It's not that I fuck with religion, I just jab those that misuse religion. Fundies misuse it, militant islamists misuse it, even atheists can misuse their lack of it. Religion I don't mind, it's when it's used to enforce the status quo, to push time back, or to oppress or hurt people that I speak up. That shit pisses me off. After I'm done writing, I'm not so mad. Then I spend time making Suburban homeboy or Das Love Boot, and I'm happy again.--Sir Modusoperandi ^Boinc! 03:37, 14 September 2006 (UTC)
