Avoid talking to them!

They might make sense, and we haven't finished indoctrinating you!

Holy shit. I can't believe I recognize this art.

This shit is ancient, and it was drawn as satire/bait. Nobody is handing out these flyers seriously. This post is rather embarrassing. Satire is dead I guess.

Edit: sources:

Source for text: scroll for text. I don't know where the goat went. This website is a high-effort satire page that hasn't been updated since like 2010. Looks real at first glance but just click around, it's clearly not a real church.

[-] lunar17@lemmy.world 40 points 6 months ago

So I followed your link, found the quoted text, and and had a look around the website. I genuinely cannot tell if this is satire. Most of the links are now dead, but the ones that work seem to lead to serious sources. If it is satire, it is very high effort.

Anyway, I'm going to share with a friend who has more personal experience with this kind of thing and get their perspective.

[-] lunar17@lemmy.world 31 points 6 months ago

So quick update: my friend who was homeschooled in a religious household but is now atheist thinks it is not satire. My take is that if this is satire, it's going over a lot of people's heads.

[-] grue@lemmy.world 14 points 6 months ago

Well, there's this...

...but honestly, I could see somebody sufficiently naive not recognizing that for what it is.

This one, however, is a bit less covert:

And then you recall reading this in the intro on the first page, and a pattern starts to develop:

My OBJECTIVE is JUST 4 KIDZ! The "Z" is for "ZEALOUSNESS," 'cause Jesus wants us to be hot for Him, not lukewarm.

There is an image to a shop page:

This link is broken. Hmm.... If this were a real organization that needed money, wouldn't they either shut this site down entirely or fix their shop page?

Notice the LOL acronym. Now visit this page:

kids artwork

Here are some of my favorites (notice most of these children are pretty talented and drawing with computer programs in 2010):

Edit: I should have grabbed the image with "shotacat" lmao

I don’t know where the goat went.

It tries to serve you .swf (Shockwave Flash) versions unless your browser doesn't support embedding, in which case it'll serve you .gifs instead. I guess that, since modern browsers do support embedding in general but not Flash, that's why they don't display either version.

Here are some of the .gif alternatives:

I love tricking people into neglecting god's word.

[-] Krudler@lemmy.world 56 points 6 months ago

I remember two adults acting as aegis for their child. The kid approached my door, handed me a flyer and asked me to come to his Jesus party. The parents were smiling hopefully. I have no idea what Jesus party even meant.

I kneeled and said flatly "There's no such thing as Jesus. Your parents and your pastor are lying to you."

They were HORRIFIED, the parents rushed up my stoop, the father literally grabbed the kid under his arm like a football and they fled.

Am I an asshole? No. That child needed to know he's being deceived.

[-] Umthisguy@lemmy.world 24 points 6 months ago

Possibly unpopular opinion by a fellow atheist, but you're just as bad as a preaching Christian by doing that. Trying to turn others to your belief system, however right it may be, is shitty, homie. Way to ruin a kids party, when you admit yourself you didn't even know what they meant by Jesus Party. Made an assumption, ruined a kids week. YTA.

[-] Kichae@lemmy.ca 18 points 6 months ago

Nah. They knocked on the door and interrupt a stranger's day to sell Jesus. They need to learn to not do that if they're not prepared to deal with the responses.

[-] piccolo@sh.itjust.works 17 points 6 months ago

The difference is OP didnt go knocking on their door spreading their belief. If they cant handle differing views fear of shaking their faith.... than maybe dont go knocking on stranger's doors preaching your beliefs.

They will never be able to take from that child, the seed of truth I planted in that moment.

Not trying to over-inflate the incident, but I remember being that young and looking to my elders for guidance. It would have been great if one rebel, at any point in my childhood, just said yeah I don't buy this shit either.

[-] 2ugly2live@lemmy.world 51 points 6 months ago

You cannot attempt to battle an atheist unless you're a level 10 Christian with at least a max level crucifix.

[-] InputZero@lemmy.world 16 points 6 months ago

That will only work if the atheist doesn't have any patients proficiencies, which comes with almost every athiest subclass. This gives the athiest advantage on charisma, intelligence, and wisdom saving throws from a character with the Christian class against the atheist. This is of course negated completely if the christian comes into the battle with the lawyered-up buff, but I didn't splurge on the LegalEagle's Book of Many Laws. So I'm not sure how that mechanic works.

I have become a megatheist. I buy into all the gods.

[-] RememberTheApollo_@lemmy.world 32 points 6 months ago

Thou shalt have no other gods before me.

Even the bible says there are plenty of side bitches. God just doesn’t want you to have any.

[-] Zorsith 12 points 6 months ago

That doesn't even say you cant worship other gods, just that this god comes first?

New gospel: All Gods are real and the reason they no longer meddle in the affairs of mortals is because they are too busy fighting their wars in heaven.

Why are they always so sad, or why are they so sad when there are evangelical christians around? Because I think it's the latter.

This is a bit more insidious than it appears- because it's asking kids to rat out atheists to religious officials.

There are absolutely areas in the US where being discovered as an atheist will ruin your life.

[-] Zetta@mander.xyz 29 points 6 months ago

It's so fucking culty to prevent kids from getting information that goes against the religious leader's beliefs as well.

"Don't talk to the atheist! They might give you bad ideas that will send you to HELL" Literally preventing the spread of information that goes against their beliefs.

I'll never accept any religion as long as atheist hate remains. How can you blame someone for not believing something with zero substantial evidence?

What a self-tell.

"Everyone that I am aware of being member of a group, is like that."

Mhm I wonder how you know that they are and why they are in a mood like that.

[-] frezik@midwest.social 29 points 6 months ago

Turns out, the Bible is wrong. The truth will not set you free. The truth makes you into a grumpy goat.

[-] some_guy@lemmy.sdf.org 24 points 6 months ago

I don't believe in a higher power. That's why I'm so fucking grumpy. It's certainly not because we can't have healthcare. It's not because of a genocide. It's not because workers are exploited. Not because our planet is destroyed. No, it's all because I don't believe in a cloud man.

If I remember correctly this is from a site it gave fursona to other groups they didn't like including Jewish, and Islamic folks. It was an educational site directed to children

I bet Mr. Gruff (and while I'm at it, Baphomet) has goat powers like being able to digest just about anything, and walk up slight inclined walls and cliffsides.

If you see someone who is grumpy and bitter rather than trying to witness to them (which doesn't work — we all force-fed Jesus the way we force feed geese) try bringing them cookies or inviting them to the community barbecue.

Mr. Guff sounds too much like McGruff, that talking dog narc that works for the FBI.

[-] MisterFrog@lemmy.world 11 points 6 months ago

I wonder what they think of countries around the world, like Australia, where "non-relgious" is on the way to being the highest self-reported group (38.9%) beat out by Christianity (43.9%), in 2021.

You're not considered "weird" by having any religious belief, but you may find it hard to make friends outside your religion if you're deeply religious.

There's honestly some stigma against it. Which is well deserved.
