Why does this remind me of Grandpa Simpson?
"Aaaaah! That president is the antichrist! Aaaaaah! Gays are the antichrist! Aaaaaah! That ad is the antichrist! Aaaaaah! Matlock was cancelled, ABC is the antichrist!"
I have been keeping tabs of what RR considers is the anti-christ. With this list compared to what is found in my house 91 percent of what I own is the anti-christ.
9% of what I have they have not mentioned, yet.
King Arthur is awesome. In any incarnation. My current favorite is the one from Spamalot.
You, not so good sir, are sullying his name, and he wants it back.
"King" Arthur? Seventh deadly sin (Pride). No Happyland for you!
I will never understand why people believe we need a god to tell us that killing each other (for example) is counter productive in a social setting. People who, given the right tools and education, can put a man on the moon. The ancients were ignorant, not stupid. At least some of them weren't stupid. I won't vouch for "King Arthur's" ancestors.
So, King, the only reason you are good is bexause Jesus Christ is watching you?
He sees when you masturbate you know.
Saint Malachy, really Maolmhaodhog ua Morgair in the Irish form, was a Catholic Bishop!
Rapture Ready believing a Catholic bishop??? Something wrong here!
No..if they were antichrist they would say something like... "Why believe in Jesus when you can be good for goodness' sake"
But..you are a retard ready member..so I will tell you the truth. Satan put those signs no those busses.
"Those adverts are antichrist indeed..."
I must say, that's the first time I've seen "antichrist" used in such a manner.
These people are totally lost without enemies to curse to hell. If everyone was good just because it's good to be good, the raptards would no longer have any legitimate function or purpose. [I know, what's legit about them anyway?]
So being good to your fellow man for the sake of being good = bad.
Being good to suck up to Jesus = good!
This makes sense to you guys?
It probably follows from the fact that dispensationalists follow Martin Luther's judgement that the Epistle of James was an "epistle of straw". Namely, Luther's unwillingness to believe that works of justice really could mattertoo close to the indulgences et al. that he was so opposed to.
It is odd, though. On the side of the holy, good works are not their own purpose; they're only meant to glorify God. But on the OTHER side, Satan wants to shatter righteousness altogether. As though neither side believes that morality is its own purpose...

Me too. I thought the AC was a person, not a poster.
In a certain way, yes.
Those adverts are "anti-christ".
"Christ" means "Anointed", and in religious context "Messiah" or similiar. One might say that the two words "Jesus [is the] Christ" is Christianity in a nutshell, as an abbreviation for the dogma that salvation and everything else (like ethics) can only be attained through Jesus (=God).
As these ads are saying that you can be "Good without God", they are denying the core of christianity.
The existence of people who are both good AND don't believe in the christian god is one of the major annoyances to religionists. Because this directly falsifies their deepest convictions and dogma ("Only believers can be good!")
Because if there's anything Jesus hates, it's people being good.

The Great Deceiver can take on any form he wishes; talking snake, governor of Texas, etc.
Confused?
