"we've walked with one lady who was diagnosed with 32 distinct personalities as a result of horrific occultic abuse, and she eventually was one whole, complete individual, healed by Jesus"
I wouldn't make jokes about *your* depression...I don't know you¹. I'll make whatever jokes I want about my depression, anxiety, post-concussive, etc....i paid the price for the Right to do so in a desert half a world away.
(¹ Nor do I want to, you seem quite the enema nozzle. Have a day.🙂)
And yet, despite his expertise, he worked (past tense) as a web page advertising admin instead of a licensed professional health worker. Who'd a thunk it?
The Christians are so concerned about demons everywhere else in the world, except the most OBVIOUS demon lord IN the White House (if demons actually existed).
Guessing we’ll be seeing a wrongful termination lawsuit from Billy Butthurt claiming discrimination over not being allowed to freely exercise his religion at work. Keep in mind these are usually the same people who throw screaming fits if a Muslim woman wears a headscarf on the job.
And honestly, if BGG continues with their line of "the ads would've not been allowed anyway", he could easily win that lawsuit. Because basically they've admitted he made the right decision and they fired him for being religious about making it.
They really screwed the pooch here. They needed to say it was the wrong decision made by an individual based on that person's bigotries, not company guidelines.
Ha. That reminds me. At one customer I used to support, in the cube next to him was a Muslim woman who always wore a very beautiful hijab. Further neat fact: she was an engineer!
So how long til davyboy gets here and tells us that they should change the game name so not to upset Christian sensibilities. Davyboy had suggested in the pass that the Satanic Temple should change its name so not to “upset” people (in a word Christians).
Christians always seem to think that their Christian sensibilities should be respected and accommodated by everyone else, but are never willing to accommodate anyone else sensibilities!
My answer to that hasn't changed. The people deserve respect only as far as they respect me. Their beliefs are irrational and have no basis in fact, and thus deserve NO RESPECT.
Chilled axes ("Chillaxes") are definitely real, though, though such a situation makes it a bit more difficult to chop wood. Good that you mentioned them, as their existence contrasts with the non-existence of both Satan and Jesus./s
No doubt the advertising manager will play the victim and sue for "religious discrimination" because he wasn't allowed to religiously discriminate against others.
I have a question that I haven’t seen posed yet. Where would this advertising manager be working with folks that are Satanically oppressed in the manner he describes? In what capacity is he working with them? What qualifications does he hold to even be a part of the woman with 34 personalities care team?
I do not believe he has seen what he says he has seen, religious testimonies tend to be wild exaggerations at best, but bald faced lies normally. And if he has actually seen these people, he doesn’t need to be feeding into their delusions like that. The only thing that would make his claims the tiniest believable is if he was institutionalized along with the folks he describes, but definitely not treating them.
What a Christian lying for jeezywhore, say it ain’t so! /S That seems to be Christianity go to way of doing things, even when they have a COMMANDMENT (which Christians never seem to follow) against lying!
If you can’t see Facebook posts, this is a response to Candace Cameron-Burre (Kirk Cameron’s fundy sister) saying she doesn’t want anyone to watch scary movies in her house because it’s a portal for demons. The response explains that the religious people are taught from early childhood that their regular human emotions are not regular human emotions but rather religious fights with the devil.
I think it fits this story perfectly. The advertising manager assumes all these people managing mental health issues, or even just average mental wellness, are dealing with satanic possession or, as he says, oppression. To tout that you saved a woman from 34 personalities AND taking medication is just twisted. It’s giving RFK Jr. eugenics rhetoric. Stop, just stop. If people need medication to feel well and have medical supervision and support, then leave them alone. You wouldn’t work to make type 1 diabetes patients stop taking insulin. Don’t make people with mental health diseases stop taking theirs. Fuck!
Great video. This is why I can’t be bothered to talk to these type of religious people. Waste of my time and energy. Also, as a horror movie LOVING, childless (but happily married) cat lady, I think I might just be their worst nightmare. Most horror movies are HILARIOUS and I find them comforting.
Too bad that xtians waste so much time on things like this instead of real issues their savior spoke of like feeding, clothing and housing the needy. Did they forget what the penalty was for ignoring these needs?
As for the topic, it is part of a long list of phenomena that supposedly causes demonic behaviour. Before this game it was Dungeon & Dragons, before that it was Rock and Roll music, before that it was comic books, etc; Christians are always looking for a scapegoat to blame all the world problems, rather than actual going to the root of those problems such as poverty, racism, injustice, etc.
Mine you, some Christians seem to think unless it promotes goddybitch and jeezywhore 24/7, 365 days a year it must be satanic. They need to go see a mental health specialist because irrational fears are going to adversely affected their lives!
Either you are closing your eyes to a situation you do not wish to acknowledge ... or you are unaware of the caliber of disaster, indicated by the presence of A CONMAN IN THE WHITE HOUSE!
You can sell or buy games where you murder your opponents, which I suppose is good christian fun since the bible advocates for it but heaven forbid (pardon the pun) that you present a game about god's own creation: Satan. Clearly, pitiful christians and their 'god' are powerless to stop imaginary enemies.
I do occasionally enjoy a suffering from demonic oppression. Typically tequila summons the devil for me.
Christ on a gaming joy stick. I’m going to have to deal with this with only one cuppa?
‘First this: I don't begrudge you personally, as many people just plain don't understand the reality of it, but I'd strongly urge you to consider these things.” A man who more or less sells video games thinking that other people don’t understand reality? THE ONLY PEOPLE THAT DEMONS EVER BOTHER TO POSSESS ARE PEOPLE WHO BELIEVE THAT DEMONS ACTUALLY EXIST. maybe that’s the problem, right there. I mean, everyone knows that immortal, immensely powerful cosmic beings have nothing better to do with eternity then fuck with us.
So amusing. HOW WOULD ANY OF THEM EVEN KNOW? What experience do they have with demons and what motivates them? Maybe it has nothing to do with the chris God at all. Maybe it’s just Loki or Coyote or Maui or Hanuman having some fun. Even Netflix pales in comparison to eternity
But now the company has made it worse. They fired him. Now he’s a victim of religious persecution and you can bet the grifters will encourage him to sue the company so that they can erode civil rights protections or religious people— ironically enough— even further.
PS what are “generational curses”? How does that work exactly with an all powerful God? And again…how would he know?
I think these jackanapes are misusing “generational curses” to promote their magical woo woo Christian nonsense. Black people use the term to mean the damage hundreds of years of chattel slavery caused their population, including physical changes to their bodies that were passed down, mental health issues, to even the continued systemic and individual racism that affects their abilities to survive in our society. Those are generational curses. Other groups of people have them as well, Jewish people for example.
But the generational curses he is talking about is just an attempt to discredit the real generational curses and promote his own magical thinking in the imaginary policeman in the sky.
As I said: ATHEISTS NEVER SEEM TO GET POSSESSED BY DEMON, ONLY CHRISTIAN GET POSSESSED BY DEMONS! Perhaps, that is an indication that religions cause people to be unable to determine fantasy from reality. I sure a psychological study could be put together to examine that phenomena.
How can the Bible say anything about AI, considering that it can’t explain where the sun goes at night, the existence of Americas, or the existence of galaxies, etc. That is really stretching what is in the Bible badly written verses to idiotic dimensions!
Remember Dungeons and Dragons? Back before I saw the light of reason, I attended a small Baptist Church back in the days at the height of the Satanic Panic - mid - late 1980's. The pastor issued strict warnings against messing with it. It would, not could, but WOULD lead to demonic possession. I have yet to meet a single person that played D&D that was demon possessed. Single people, sure, I mean it's D&D after all. This is what happens when you take something, like the Bible literally.
I was too young to see the Exorcist when it first came out, and since I LOVED scary movies, I was frustrated at having to miss this blockbuster everybody was talking about.
Fast forward to the 20th anniversary re-release. I wasn't as scared as I thought I would be, and I was a bit disappointed. It didn't quite match my expectations, built up over such a long time, but I liked it enough that I have rewatched it several times over the years.
The Christer will undoubtedly sue for religious discrimination and persecution. It's the only card the followers of the almighty fictional deity have when reality collides with their carefully constructed mass delusion.
"we've walked with one lady who was diagnosed with 32 distinct personalities as a result of horrific occultic abuse, and she eventually was one whole, complete individual, healed by Jesus"
Sure, Jan.
Roses are red
Violets are blue
I'm schizophrenic
And so am I!
Really, you do not understand the purposes of poetry. I have to explain everything to everybody! No one has any pity for me.
Roses are red
Violets are blue
I’m schizophrenic
And I am too.
Sure, if one wants rhyming poetry. ;-)
Making a joke of a mental illness? Not cool.
Living with mental illness makes it okay.....kinda like when I tell I woman I'm crazy for her, then produce documentation. ;-)
Only if you are the schizophrenic. But you still can’t make jokes about my depression.
I wouldn't make jokes about *your* depression...I don't know you¹. I'll make whatever jokes I want about my depression, anxiety, post-concussive, etc....i paid the price for the Right to do so in a desert half a world away.
(¹ Nor do I want to, you seem quite the enema nozzle. Have a day.🙂)
Another xtian claim not backed by evidence. Dismissed without evidence.
Even worse. The person apparently told her to stop taking her meds.
So if that person has a psychotic episode, that person who told the woman not to take her medication should be held liable!
And yet, despite his expertise, he worked (past tense) as a web page advertising admin instead of a licensed professional health worker. Who'd a thunk it?
Was her name George Glass, by any chance?
The Satanic Panic never really went away, it just went underground until religious bigotry gained power again.
It’s almost like we never moved on from the Satanic Panic or Ronald Reagan…unbelievable and embarrassing as a nation.
And it's been OUT a lot more lately, owing to a certain occupant of the White House.
Absolutely. He’s weaponized these looney tunes. He has to. Now the J6 rioters, criminals, and pedos will get a payout to do it all over again.
That's why I say that executed traitors don't get pardons or payouts.
The Christians are so concerned about demons everywhere else in the world, except the most OBVIOUS demon lord IN the White House (if demons actually existed).
Pre-CISE-ly! 🎯

You’re not being fair here. Satan is every bit is real as Jesus. So there!

It's probably members of his church.
It's ironic, when you think about it. He and his Christian friends play out make-believe scenes about demons...but this game? Too far!
I saw this reel the other day and saved it for just this type of article.

There's trouble in River City. That starts with T that rhymes with P that stands for Pool....
I am sorry, but I don’t get the reference!
It's from "The Music Man."
My friends:
Either you are closing your eyes to a situation you do not wish to acknowledge ... or you are unaware of the caliber of disaster, indicated by the presence of A CONMAN IN THE WHITE HOUSE!
Well, my friend, you got Trouble.
We got Trumple
Oh we got Trumple
With a capital T and that rhymes with T and that stands for tool.
Oh, I didn’t know that! Thank you, NOGODZ20
Here you go!

Only every 4th year, at Feb. 29th, they might not harass us? Right?

OT headline at Christian Post: “The AI data center boom is coming to your town. Here’s what the Bible says about it.”
My gasts are flabbered.
How can the Bible say anything about AI, considering that it can’t explain where the sun goes at night, the existence of Americas, or the existence of galaxies, etc. That is really stretching what is in the Bible badly written verses to idiotic dimensions!
I thought AI was the new god of everything, and now you tell me I am worshipping fake deity.
Simple rule of thumb: if you worship a deity, you worship a false deity.
"That is really stretching what is in the Bible badly written verses to idiotic dimensions!"
That is their specialty.
So true!
“So far as I can remember, there is not one word in the Gospels in praise of intelligence.”
—Bertrand Russell, English mathematician, philosopher, and peace activist
The bible probably said THE EXACT SAME THING about that nuclear power plant that went in near the county line, right?
I commented something to the effect that data centers surely weren’t as bad as iron chariots.
Are those next to the "Biblical principles for investing your money" articles?
"Keep in mind it's not over religion, but reality."
Well, at least he's admitting his religion isn't part of reality.
"In Christianity neither morality nor religion come into contact with reality at any point."
-Friedrich Nietzsche
Yeah, that sentence leapt out at me too.

Single people, sure, I mean it's D&D after all. This is what happens when you take something, like the Bible literally.
I said exactly the same thing, and it goes back to dancing! It is always something else at fault, never their own actions!
They ALWAYS have to have something or someone to blame, to point a finger at and castigate. Positively phenomenal ... and despicable.
And the blame is never theirs. The fingers never point at a mirror.
"It's YOUR FAULT we're all assholes and judgmental losers!"
When I attended church in my youth, we were warned against viewing the movie The Exorcist because you were opening yourself up to demonic possession.
That and Ouija boards were off limits if you valued your mortal soul.
I was too young to see the Exorcist when it first came out, and since I LOVED scary movies, I was frustrated at having to miss this blockbuster everybody was talking about.

Happy Birthday to Cher. The icon turns 80 today.

They say we're old and we don't know
But she can still put on a show
Well I don't know if she'll still sing
But I know she's worth a lot of bling....
🎵She's got loot, babe...🎵
Cher is 80?
I'm getting fucking old.
