Someone posted this link in the GH forum on SyFy. Is this really serious, or is it a piece of satire?

I've been seeing several articles now on that site about Jason and Grant. I think the first one blamed them for the floods in Rhode Island. I think it's just some crackpot wanting some attention and found someone to blame.

Anything about lambs in the article? I didn't read the entire thing.

I couldn't read the whole thing. My reaction: YIKES! Did you see the You Might Also Like at the end? "Do Gay Pets Go To Heaven?" Gay pets? Really?

Eh, I got nothin'

Crackpot it is….although I can understand….my mother in law is deeply religious, and i heard her make a comment one time that went along the effect of, you invite in evil spirits by what you do and see….so in essence, i am inviting in all kinds of bad things since i watch and read about the paranormal in my home…whatever…

I agree. They are just trying to get noticed at GH's expense.

Actually, I've been wondering when someone was going to label them the Anti-Christ.

I read this on GH too and thought maybe it was just satire, but after reading a couple other articles like this one I decided they were probably serious…….and completely insane! /blink.png' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':P' />

I have an idea that the phrase "weaker sex" was coined by some woman to disarm some man she was preparing to overwhelm. ~Ogden Nash

/ohmy.png' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=';)' /> Yours too! Wow…must be a common thing with them lol.

As to the article. I think they're serious. Which is funny and scary all at the same time. The fact that someone could actually believe this scares me. Isnt this what started the witch hunts? Do we really need some modern day ones? I thought the church was supposed to teach tolerance and love of all. Yet here they are saying things about PEOPLE not just beliefs. I hope no one really gives this a second thought on seriousness and decides to follow suite

I guess myself and many of my fellow pug members, we are going to hell. At least according to the article that states anyone who believes or financially supports the ideas of ghosts (not just GH) are going to hell. Ah well…not the first time Iv been condemned to hell. i wonder…if you get condemned so many times do you get your own special room 0.0 if do you are all welcome to share if your in the neighborhood!



Remember, dogs and cats are better than kids because they:

(1) eat less,

(2) don’t ask for money all the time,

(3) are easier to train,

(4) normally come when called,

(5) never ask to drive the car,

(6) don’t smoke or drink,

(7) don’t want to wear your clothes,

(8) don’t have to buy the latest fashions,

(9) don’t need a gazillion dollars for college and

(10) if they get pregnant, you can sell their children ..

I'm still thinking satire – kind of like landoverbaptist.org.

Chyrstal – I'm pretty sure all of the fun people (and our gay dogs) will be in Hell with us.

"They say rock n' roll is the devil's music. Well, let's say that it is; I've got news for you. Let's say that rock n' roll is the devil's music and we know it for a fact to be the absolute, unequivocal truth. Boy, at least he f*&%ing jams! Ha ha ha ha! Okay? Did you hear that correctly? If it's a choice between eternal hell and good tunes and eternal heaven and new kids on the block … I'm gonna be surfing on the lake of fire, rocking out … high fiving Satan every time I pass the f*&^ing shore!" – Bill Hicks

Okay – I just found a news article saying it is run by The Onion. http://www.advocate.com/News/D…..ly_News/20…lverine_a_Hoax/

Read down a little.

So thank goodness – I think this is satire. A little research and I have apparently found my answer. I sort of thought that was the case all along, but you just never know. There are a lot of over the top whackadoos in the world.

If it is indeed satire … they have an inside track on CRAZY satire. That website didn't read at all like satire to me.

What does it say about the religious right that so many of us couldn't tell if it was satire or serious. /blink.png' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':D' />

I'm glad to hear it's satire, although now my husbands favorite thing to say is that he is going to

"gently beat me"! /laugh.png' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='Laugh' />
