[On James Cameron's documentary claiming to have found caskets containing Jesus and his family.]
I've already advised the Discovery Channel that if they air this I will cancel my subscription....they should be lucky that I don't strap explosives around my waste.

"they should be lucky i don't strap explosives around my waste."
Gross!
Seriously though, is this line of thought a bit different than you whining about how backwards islam is? Rhetorical question, the answer is no.
Jesus (allegedly) gets some pussy and fundies start talking about blowing things up? I seem to recall another prophet who was defamed, in cartoons, rather than with dubious archeological discoveries. Lots of his fundie followers screamed bloody muder, a few even went so far as to commit bloody murder. Good times.
Aren't these the same people who are condemning Muslims for this exact kind of behavior? Guess it's OK when Christians do it, eh?
And why get all bent out of shape over this now? They found that bloody tomb 27 years ago, it's not like it's new or anything. James Cameron just decided he could make a buttload of money off of it by stirring up as much controversy as possible.
Here's my advice, Christians...don't take the bait.

Sandman, I've sadly found in many churches that Christians take the bait just as automatically and as instinctively as fish bite the baited hook. (Perhaps that's why the fish symbol is all too appropriate.)

Good luck with that, bucko. That'll be a bit hard, considering cable and satellite providers have been successful in warding off anything remotely resembling "a la carte" programming. So, your only recourse will be to cancel whatever cable or satellite service you subscribe to. Then how will you watch NASCAR on the ESPN!?

Suicide trash!
But yes, of course Discovery Channel should air the documentary - if it's accurate. If it's a piece of misleading garbage, no need to waste time on it.
And yes, fundies, you need to get over that ridiculous narrow-mindedness. You can be wrong. Cut the silly faith and start thinking rationally.

Thanks, John, that was the funniest thing I've read all day.
Surprised he'd even HAVE discovery channel.
Especially when its filled with things like Mythbusters and How its Made, which show you that there's a lot of complex steps involved in making stuff, and that you can't just believe claims just because they're popular legends.
I mean, think of the horror! What if your kids start looking closely at the bible and realise the whole book's reading quite a bit like those "free energy"/perpetual-motion-device snakeoil ads?
Or better yet... "Daddy? where do they make gods? is it like the episode with the shirt buttons?"

Meh...ok, not so fun-oh there's more?

Damn, and it almost wasn't all that fundie. *sighs* Ah well...next quote.
Hey, we used to use cherry bombs to blow up toilets in my high school. Wouldn't do it in my house though, that would be stupid. Of course threatening the "Discovery Channel" with blowing up your own commode doesn't exactly hold water! Maybe you should hold a shit-in in the bathroom at their offices!
"I believe this to be false, so I will throw a tantrum stating so."
Got it.
I'm going to cancel my subscription to one cable channel (and to do that, cancel my cable entirely)."
Got that, too.
"I'm so filled with Christian righteousness, I'm going to become a suicide bomber!"
Uh... well, okay, since you don't know the difference between 'waste' and 'waist,' I'm willing to bet you don't know how to build a bomb, either.
It's funny how it seems that mainly rabid Christians are taking this documentary seriously. Almost all non-Christians I know, especially those who actually have an interest in history, aren't taking this documentary seriously at all - I've heard more than one comment about how it's the "1421 of religion" (referring to Gavin Menzies' rather absurd and poorly done thesis about how China discovered pretty much everywhere in 1421). Meanwhile, fundies are taking it so seriously that they are threatening to blow up shit in more ways than one!
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
