    I saw the Porno Freaks open for the So Called Christians when I was in college. Great show.

        It’s my personal understanding/experience that it’s a term for babies who are unable to walk, but can crawl and tend to put everything in their mouths.

        Why is being used here as an insult or slur is beyond my comprehension.

        Just a term for shitty little kids, I think. Which makes it ridiculous to me, because if anything the parents are to blame until they develop further.

          Oh lol seems odd they would include kids in this list but I guess it’s equal opportunity hatred and bigotry. Which is almost admirable, as far as hatred and bigotry goes

      “God” isn’t real. There’s no such thing.

      It’s just an imaginary friend made up by lunatics to express themselves and try to control others.

    There’s this church group that would show up to my university once every year holding signs that read:

    "IF YOU ARE:

    Liberal Atheist Buddhist Hinduist Agnostic Muslim Etc Etc

    YOU WILL GO TO HELL"

    We had a running joke that they could and did put anything they wanted on that sign except “jewish” which would be the only thing that would get them banned from campus lol.

    “Sport Nuts”. Yeah, they are going to hell…

    “So Called Christians”, sounds like the sorta person the sign holder is.

      "Once I saw this guy on a bridge about to jump. I said, “Don’t do it!” He said, “Nobody loves me.” I said, “God loves you. Do you believe in God?”

      He said, “Yes.” I said, “Are you a Christian or a Jew?” He said, “A Christian.” I said, “Me, too! Protestant or Catholic?” He said, “Protestant.” I said, “Me, too! What franchise?” He said, “Baptist.” I said, “Me, too! Northern Baptist or Southern Baptist?” He said, “Northern Baptist.” I said, “Me, too! Northern Conservative Baptist or Northern Liberal Baptist?”

      He said, “Northern Conservative Baptist.” I said, “Me, too! Northern Conservative Baptist Great Lakes Region, or Northern Conservative Baptist Eastern Region?” He said, “Northern Conservative Baptist Great Lakes Region.” I said, “Me, too!”

      Northern Conservative Baptist Great Lakes Region Council of 1879, or Northern Conservative Baptist Great Lakes Region Council of 1912?" He said, “Northern Conservative Baptist Great Lakes Region Council of 1912.” I said, “Die, heretic!” And I pushed him over."

      It’s an interesting take, at least, given the quasi-religious nature of support for sports teams. Maybe they’re just not happy about the dip in church attendance that resulted from the NFL playing games in London (which broadcast at 10 AM EST).

    Oh shit, I didn’t read the overall message at first and thought hell yeah, I’m a bunch of these things.

    But they’re anti-these things, so fuck them.

    I want to make mostly the same sign but with the opposite message.

    e: also, pencil neck weak kneed gutless men are my jam. Plus long haired freaky people. They can apply.

    Money lovers… are we called greedy for wanting to raisw the minimum wage? While the church megapastors are considered a good example.

      I wouldn’t call that being a money lover. Someone who wants to raise the minimum wage is probably more likely to want to abolish money as a construct entirely.
