This is a pretty good rant. It comes from a Christian fundamentalist
who doesn't like the fact that this occultism is so easily debunked on
the International HolySmoke forum. He's so
embarrassed by his fellow lunatic fundies that he wants them to shut up
and flee the forum least they continue to be exposed as buffoons who do
more to damage their own cult than any ten thousand atheists could do.
Pay special attention to the outrageous claims and the accusations about
how his intellectual and moral superiors are "close minded."
In actual fact fundamentalists of all religions (not just
the Christian cult) are repeatedly asked for evidence -- something
which hardly smacks of being "close minded." If participants
were close minded to outrageous fundamentalist occult claims, we wouldn't
be asking them for evidence!
The Leonard Bernier individual mentioned is none other
than John Jeanneault himself who routinely spammed the
forum with occult babble and refuses to respond to questions. (So much for
"close mindedness.")
The Jesse Jones individual mentioned is a one-time long-time
participant -- a fundy lawyer who thinks that emotions come from his
Christian deity constructs and who demands that the old Soviet Union
was "evil" whereas the United States was not; only he couldn't
enumerate just how, exactly, the Soviet Union was "evil" in
ways the United States isn't.
This is what I propose. Let us put an end to the HolySmokers fun by no
longer posting here. [1] There is nothing of fairness, objectivity, or
tolerance within this message area. [2] The goal of the message base is
only to ridicule and malign Christ and His followers. [3] The only reason
the enemies of Christ post here, is to participate in the roasting and
ridicule, not because they are interested in any sort of dialogue or
debate with Christians. [4] They are rude, close-minded and arrogant for
the most part. To continue posting and "debating" with them is tantamount
to exposing the gospel to ridicule and destruction. [5] To continue to
post is to exemplify the text which exhorts us not to "cast your pearls
before swine". [6]
Jesse Jones, I know you mean well and think that somehow by your
presence here, that you will somehow touch their hearts, but no, this
will not happen as long as you give them the opportunity to ridicule
your faith as a hobby. Absent yourself from them, be "set apart" from
them, and devote the time you used to spend composing messages to them,
to praying for them. You have been one of the most tolerant and
"persistent" Christians in here, but you are not given the least bit
of credence by HolySmokers. [7]
ALL CHRISTIANS UNITE....no longer post here...let the word be spread
through all the echoes...to all brothers and sisters...that henceforth
Christians will no longer post to HOLYSMOKE....and by doing so we will
bring about the demise of the beast that is devoted to bringing about
the downfall of the followers of Jesus...if such a thing were
possible :-). [8] After weeks or months of complaining to each other,
without any individuals to ridicule, they will eventually go the way
of the DoDo. What say all, can we do it....I think we can if we spread
the word through whatever means is available. What a challenge! Can
we topple the "Great Holysmoke" by this time next year. Really think
about it. [9]
WE CAN DO IT! Let the only messages we post here promote this message,
and no longer debate or argue about Jesus or his teachings....their
hearts have been hardened, and their eyes have been blinded. To continue
to post "Jesus" is to "cast your pearls before the swine"...."shake the
dust off your sandals and move on!"
There are many other message areas where one can spread the word, where
one is at least tolerated without such ridicule and contempt as is
displayed here. [10] The only reason non-believers post here is to take
part in the "stoning" of believers. Let us all...of all denominations and
none...from the Catholics...to the Pentecostals...the Baptists...the
Anglicans..the Steve Winters...the Latter Day Saints...the Mormons...all
who I have failed to mention...let us all cease and desist from posting
here, except to spread the same message....Christians...of all stripes...
people of all denominations and religions....get out! Do not post here
any longer...do not become a whipping boy/girl for these anti-god people!
[11]
After years of reading and posting here....I have come to the conclusion
that there is nothing resembling open-minded, fairness or tolerance
here, from those who regularly attack religion. They are unbending,
unyielding and unobjective, with no real interest in the concept of God,
and are only concerned with baiting believers and doing their best to
make fools of them all. [12]
LET US UNITE....LET US REFUSE TO POST HERE ANY LONGER...EXCEPT TO SPREAD
THIS MESSAGE. LET US NO LONGER SPREAD OUR PEARLS BEFORE SWINE...LET US
SPEND OUR TIME POSTING TO OTHER MESSAGE AREAS WHERE THERE IS TOLERANCE,
AND EVEN AN AUDIENCE WHICH MAY BE OPEN ENOUGH TO HEAR THE MESSAGE OF
CHRIST! LET US SPEND OUR TIME CONSTRUCTIVELY, LET US PROCLAIM HIS MESSAGE
WHERE THERE ARE EARS TO HEAR, AND HEARTS TO FEEL! [13]
Leonard Bernier has the right idea!....He no longer argues with them..he
only posts the word of God....and ignores the baited hook! Let us all
do the same....let us either get out of here altogether...or let us all
barrage them with scripture....with no response to the slap on the cheek,
except that of quoting more scripture....What say all brothers and
sisters? [14]
Speaking of Christians showing the educated what religious beliefs have
done to them, here's something every Christian should learn:
JOB 13
[4] But ye are forgers of lies, ye are all physicians of no value. [5] O
that ye would altogether hold your peace! and it should be your wisdom. [6]
Hear now my reasoning, and hearken to the pleadings of my lips. [7] Will
ye speak wickedly for God? and talk deceitfully for him? [8] Will ye accept
his person? will ye contend for God? [9] Is it good that he should search
you out? or as one man mocketh another, do ye so mock him? [10] He will
surely reprove you, if ye do secretly accept persons. [11] Shall not his
excellency make you afraid? and his dread fall upon you? [12] Your
remembrances are like unto ashes, your bodies to bodies of clay.
