Christmas is coming. Again I have observed an increasing number of christians who want other people to accept Jesus. Two days ago i saw two guys who, shouting, read bible passages in front of children on a schoolyard. I talked to them but I can't talk to all of them.

So I've opened a self reflection/discussion platform for them by writing and hanging up those posters:

Any suggestions to make it more effective?

A referral to one of their hypocrisies, like facts about catholic priests and little children, oppression towards other groups and such

That won't work if they dismiss the Old Testament and get all Corinthians on you.

Better to claim that Paul was an untrustworthy source, and to ask them about what Jesus said, not about what some pundit claimed.

Pretty soon, I get to talk to my dad.
So I'll ask him why he quit growing mushrooms and he'll tell me about jesus.
Something like that.

Unfortunately this seldom has any traction with the type of people OP is talking about though.  They typically treat the entire New Testament as if God had given it by dictation, rather than trying to pierce the veil and see what the historical Jesus (to the extent that there was such a person) was all about.  I don't suppose they'd be out there with vitriolic signs yelling at children if they were interested in applying textual criticism to the Bible.

It's like trying to get a computer program to enter a critical debate on the merits of pascal over cobol.

The first rule of Christ Club is you don't ask questions about Christ Club

I thought the first rule of Christ Club is you don't ask questions period.

The third would be to act superior around the other clubs and anyone not in a club, too, and try and get them to join the CC. Yes?

Third rule of Christ Club is - Don't accept the answers

I'm feeling like I almost have a parody here. Could be time to dig out my Baby Jesus rig for a short xmas special  :evil:

I found this vaguely hilarious because I'm a member of a group called the Clock Crew, or CC for short.
My shit list: Stephen Harper, anarchists that complain about taxes instead of institutionalized torture, those people walking, anyone who lets a single aspect of themselves define their entire personality, salesmen that don't smoke pipes, Fredericton New Brunswick, bigots, philosophy majors, my nemesis, pirates that don't do anything, criminals without class, sociopaths, narcissists, furries, juggalos, foes.

might wanna fix the "quotes" around the word "arrogance"

also:
there's a questionnaire floating around here somewhere that i can't seem to find.  with a bunch of "how would you rate your deity's effectiveness?" type questions.  if someone can find it and link it, i think that would be ideal to hand out to these guys.  especially if you did it all serious like - tell 'em it's for a school project, maybe?

P.S. - i like where this "Christ Club" thing is going.
