Dor sho gha! Last time I *headdesk* in the commander seat!
It's on the news, it can't be a poe. People are this stupid! Heck, I remember one time I was making a cassette tape of 'Levon' in a fundie-relative's house. They heard the line "he calls his child Jesus / cause he likes the name" and it was all "there is only one messiah! etc etc"
By that logic, since my name is Adam
@ illuminatalie:
Hey, I can top that. I played Blood Sweat & Tears' "And When I Die" when I worked as a radio DJ. Got a call from an over-70 woman complaining about the line "...swear there ain't no heaven and I pray there ain't no hell." She insisted that there was a heaven and a hell and I was bound for the latter for playing that song.
Oh, that's really some charming wordplay you've got there. It almost made me forget that Obama is, in fact, a Christian.
But don't forget, "Roger" is a slang term for "fnck" and "Byrd" is another name for the middle finger, so Roger Byrd's name is so close to several well-known obscenities I have a feeling he doesn't recognize Christ".
Byrd? Humm, Maggey Byrde has been accused of murder TWICE!
His name is so close I have a feeling he might be accused of two murders, and if even half of those accusations are true...
According to Byrd's reasoning, any woman named Helen or Helena must be Greek, and any man named Julius must be Roman.
I had a great-grandfather named Adolf. Byrd would probably accuse him of being related to Adolf Hitler.
Also, Byrd should realize that there are many Christians in the world who have Arabic names (especially in Lebanon). Having an Arabic name does not automatically mean that that person is Muslim. You might as well state than having an Indian name is proof of Hindu belief.
"His name is so close to Osama I have a feeling he might be Islamic...."
What's in a name? People named Matt, Mark, Luke or John could be islamic.
According to this LACK of logic, i should have a broken nose, my GF would be the moon and my brother a small fire. My father a bird. An athiest aquaintance of mine being a "prophetess" and another four or five friends all "God's Gift".
Suck that, "Famous Spear".
Fundies continue to put too much trust in words, symbols, and numbers.
Now, if Obama's name was "Obama Hussein Bin Laden" and he moved here from Iraq and he looked anything like Osama, then we might have something.
Ahh the mud slinging disguised as the question. Known as the Cavuto, after Neil Cavuto of Fox News who made it standard on his show.
Are Osama and Obama brothers?
I'm not saying they are. I'm just asking!
Or
Is Pastor Roger Byrd a stupid bigoted F*CK HEAD who epitomizes all that is wrong in this country?
I'm not saying he is. I'm just asking.
Or IS Pastor Byrd secretly molesting his underage daughter?
Why would he get offended at that?
It's just a question.
Can I just add: STFU you racist bastards.
Last line of the story:
"Pastor Byrd told News Channel 7 he would ask his congregation to vote on whether to keep the sign. They voted unanimously to keep the sign up Sunday night.
Jonesville Church of God does not have any African American members."
So that Obama's name actually IS Hussein was not enough, since Saddam Hussein were not that evil; just a quasi-socialist dictator?
And anyone else reminded of Ray Stevens' "Osama yo Mama"? when they read that sign?
I was in Mexico a few weeks ago and I met a man named Moses who was an entertainer at the resort we stayed at.
I also know three men named Jesus.
Their names are not only close, they are identical, although pounced differently in the case of Jesus.
What, exactly, does that mean? What are we supposed to think of that?
You know someone's personal belief system based simply on their name?
You must be a basketball player. Your name is too damn close, er, identical, not to play.
/Pastor Byrd says the sign is not meant to be racial or political but rather to make people think./
No, it's a pitiful piece of propaganda that aims to drive voters away from Obama solely by racial prejudice. The man is Christian. Get over it. This insulting insinuation is so feeble and has gone on for so long that it's pathetic.
Hmm.... Benjamin, Benedict... maybe I'm the Pope's brother?
You thrice damned, Ilúvatar forsaken idiot.
My name is David. I'm now going to walk into Israel and claim my throne, and if people don't submit, I'll defeat them with my uber slingshot skills.
@BlackMageJ: You win the internet by referencing the Phoenix Wright series (at least, I'm assuming that's what you're doing). Of course, Maggey was innocent of both crimes, so I'm not sure if it's the most useful of references.
Hmmmm... I know a guy at work whose name is Mohammed. Wow, think maybe he's Muslim?
Oh actually no, he's not. He's Christian.
But sfw? What the fuck does that have to do with anything?
"he might be Islamic therefore he doesn't recognize Christ".
Is it time to quote the Quran?
[2.87] And most certainly We gave Musa the Book and We sent apostles after him one after another; and We gave Isa, the son of Marium , clear arguments and strengthened him with the holy spirit.
So Jesus is acknowledged by Islam as the next-to-last prophet.
While the fundies are distracted with their tizzy over Obama, Hillary could become President and they'd never notice. I'd pay money to see them look up from their "Obama is the antichrist" graffiti, do a double-take and fall flat on their asses.
the sign is not meant to be racial or political but rather to make people think.
Yes, it's meant to make people think Obama is a bad guy. Stop being disingenuous.
Roger Lodger..hmm is he living with someone else?
His name is so close I have a feeling he may not own his own house
Byrd Kurd...hmm is he from the middle east?
How can we trust a forgein man to know Christ?
Come on everyone, join the fun.
Is Pastor Byrd a deceitful racist desperately trying to hide his illegal church politicizing with a ridiculously transparent lie? Hmmmm!
Oh, and I find it highly telling -- and disgusting -- that the congregation unanimously voted to keep the sign up. But I'll bet that it wasn't a secret ballot and that everyone knew that anyone who held up his hand for the "all opposed" vote would have been an instant pariah.
Ew, that's my CBS station. I wonder if these racist nitwits still have the sign up?
If only I had a working car, it'd be mini road trip time!
It gets even more sad:
"Pastor Byrd told News Channel 7 he would ask his congregation to vote on whether to keep the sign. They voted unanimously to keep the sign up Sunday night.
Jonesville Church of God does not have any African American members."
First, Muslims know Christ. Jesus exists within the Islamic faith, as do Moses, Noah, and Abraham.
Second, my name is awfully close to the first name of porn star Ron Jeremey. Oh holy shit, that must make me related to him, and therefore, through crazy troll logic, I am also a porn star. And also a tomato.
Third, you're a twat.
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
