Jesus Christ and the C2C Bible Brigade

[Histronic Fop]

So when did all these fucking holy rollers start calling in all the time?

Tina Sacchi was trying to sell her meely-mouthed sunshine-and-puppies rap and all these born again bubbas starting calling in chiding her new age crap with their JC-is-the-way bullshit.  Even GN was spouting off about how empty the lives of atheists must be, and got in a little dig at Bill from CT.  Sacchi defended her positions about as well as a newborn kitten, but these fucking Jesus freaks really annoy.

C2C is a carnival sideshow, not a fucking tent revival.

Your analysis almost makes me wanna listen to last nights show.  Almost...

[Morgus]

So when did all these fucking holy rollers start calling in all the time?

That started at least 10 years ago when Noory took over.
It seems most of Noory's audience are fundamentalist bible thumpers who believe the earth is only 6000 years old and that the actions of angels and demons explain everything.

Hmmm...I just can't understand why any hard-thumpin' God-fearin' upright Christian would stay up to listen to this horseshit night after night.  Unless it's just to try and put George's pagan-worshipin' crystal-rubbin' heathen guests in their proper place.

That's a very good point.  How does a fundamentalist Christian listen to all the pagan stuff on Coast?  I mean, I claim to be a Christian, but I don't think any actual Christian organization would recognize me.

Plus, how does a 6000-year old Earth Christian square with George's theories that, because someone found a rock that looks like a bowling ball, advanced civilizations lived on earth tens of thousands of years ago - before being wiped out by the unknown.

I believe that "father" Andrew C. Wingate really brought the damnation with him when he spoke about demon possessions on 05-31.  From the p.o.v. of an atheist it was fascinating radio.  It seems that possessions are happening all over the place BUT the good father has an amazing fix.  The arch angel, st. michael appeared to the father in 1991 and GAVE HIM INCENSE which he now sells to you, the possessed person, for only $3 bucks plus shipping & Handling.  Can you imagine your luck? arch angel incense for $3 which will cure possession!  It's less than a tank of gas! 
So here you go, you burn this incense, and no evil thing can stand to smell the angel incense so the devils will leave long enough for you to get your shit together.  How can you lose?

This is the kind of thing which just crushes my heart.  Hearing a priest on a radio program shilling for his angel sent incense products to the gullible masses.  I mean fuck me. 

Oh and if you advocate for women's reproductive rights, which I do, you are likely possessed by demons. 

The catholic forums do not seem to think a great deal of the father, and I think rightly so, but he did have his proponents on those forums as well. 

I think it was Ron White who stated the eternal truth, "You can't fix stupid".

It sounds like the red rags - aka "prayer cloths" - that Reverend Ike used to sell.

[Histronic Fop]

When my dad was just a boy, back in the early 50's, there was a preacher on XERF who sold autographed pictures of Jesus Christ.  :

Speaking of, I wish C2C would book Ra-El, no, not Superman's bio dad, the guy who claims to be Christ come down to Earth.  The thumpers would shit a Kia Soul.

[chad warden]

C2C prides itself on being non-mainstream and alternative.  But if you really think about it, if Noory and Wells ruled the world they'd force everyone to convert to Christianity.  I have nothing against religion but more and more C2C is turning into a political right wing show; you can't deny this fact.  Bring back the scientists!

I believe that Neil deGrasse Tyson was on semi-recently, but I am surprised he'd be willing to visit at all.  He must have a great ability to suffer fools (and foolish interviewers).  I don't imagine guests get paid, so maybe he (Tyson) was simply doing what he could to enlighten one or two on-the-fence listeners.

[CornyCrow]

So far Art's new show does not seem to have these mouth breathers on.  I guess they can't afford to buy a Sirius subscription.  Yaaaay!

The amount of intolerance to religion from non-believers on this forum is interesting.

We are a contrary bunch, but I would also suggest there is much more intolerance on that side of the aisle. I have yet to protest a church much less a funeral of someone that has a different lifestyle than me. I have yet to block access to any church much less a movie theater that is showing a movie I may disagree with.

I work with devout christians every day. I work with devout muslims everyday. And I never have an intolerant thought about any of them. But when I hear some of the issues that make the news. When I hear politicians talk about good christian values that seem to vilify others... well I ain't giving them a pass.

it's unfortunate that people think there is ONE type of Christian out there.  a homophobic, quasi racist, hate spewing Bible basher who insist the Bible is to be taken literally.

Oddly enough, Ian Punnet with the Propeller Butt was quite vocal about the validity of all of the mainstream Christian and Catholic branches and sects.   He would never let some literalist run his mouth about a single (their) path to God.  He would put all those yokels in their place.  As a catholic, I appreciated this, as we are pretty much the scapegoat, if not the entire antithesis and reason d'être of a lot of the thumpers and rollers.

But I still thought Ian was a schmuck.  But at least not a flailing phony like George


Worker in the light lololol.  Some potential guest had lunch with Jorch one day and clued him into how much easy money there was in the "Your kitties are in heaven waiting for you" book club, now known as giam TV.

[DanTSX]

Has Jorch ever had on any of the big mega-church pastors?  Or any of the slimey not-quite pastors like that creep Joel Osteen?

Actually there is only 1 type.  There was only 1 Jesus Christ.

I would really love it to have any proof of the Christ you pronounce as the one jesus. There is some sketchy evidence by some scholars that point to two pieces of evidence of Christ actually existing, baptism and crucifiction. But all the rest is at best highly subjective. Lots of people claim faith as their arbiter. I am glad that works for them. But as you alluded to in another post they just haven't thought things through.

I am all for a mind set that follows:

Verily I say unto you, Since you have done it unto one of the least of these my brethren, you have done it unto me.

and:

Do not lay up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moth and rust consume and where thieves break in and steal, but lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust consumes and where thieves do not break in and steal.

Not a bunch of that going on these days.

And until anyone can prove any of the miracles. I will put as much faith in Frodo Baggins.

... these fucking Jesus freaks really annoy...

Whatever happened to the original Jesus Freaks.  Hippies out spreading the word?

Oh hell, man, take a look in most rural areas. Lots of jesus freaks about.

Really though, even though I am quite the non believer, I don't see much wrong with talking about some form of salvation. If one has to choose a goal, striving for a better more caring world ain't a bad path to follow.

Wasn't there an organized movement that called themselves Jesus Freaks?  Maybe it wasn't, I was pretty young when they were around.

Oh, I DO believe.
We survive death.  There are all sorts of beings other than our brand of human, and some actually like us and intervene in emergencies.

I do NOT believe in dogma.  I do not believe in living by do's and don'ts and myths derived from primitive tribal peoples of yesteryear just because they were 'there' then.

I know there were various people named 'Jesus' who lived at the time Christ was supposed to have lived, but I believe the JC legend was compiled from bits of the many religions that predated and were contemporary with that time.  There were other saviors who sacrificed themselves for the world's sins.  There were other such that had virgin births.  The times were rife with those who could do miracles/magick.  There were sects which preached the same message as the New Testament contents. 

Do I believe in a God?  I don't know.  I have had enough personal experience to convince me of an after life.  Prayer brings much satisfaction and I sense that someone listens.  What it is, I cannot honestly say. 

I try to be honest.  I think many religious people are searchers and are willing to be deluded just because others support them or because they read something in a book.

No, it's a good thing.  The problem is when your beliefs attempt to change the laws and regulations of the entire culture.  The problem is when I try to impose my beliefs on you or when I ask for special treatment at school or in the government or at the workplace for MY religious views.

What, so y'all are saying Art should cancel the Stephen Quayle show? That would be a GIANT mistake.

I also got tired of all the Obama 'birther' rants on the show, which was another (one of many) reasons I stopped listening to C2C. I have a lot of concerns about Obama, but the birther stuff, to me, is a waste of air space.

I agree. I don't believe in dogma, either. I believe that spirituality is a personal thing, not to prosletize. If I wanted to listen to that fundamantalist stuff, there are plenty of 'religious' AM stations that broadcast their views 24/7
Hey George, how many angels can dance on the head of a pin?
