A lot of these religious zealots tend to straight make shit up, usually about connections to hell/devil/Lucifer. Everything they don't like is somehow connected to Lucifer or Hell. It's usually a control mechanism.

I once had someone try to tell me that 'lol' meant 'league of Lucifer' as opposed to 'laugh out loud', which is ironically exactly what I did when I heard this.

If I ever encounter someone making stuff up like that, I want to ask them to back it up with the Bible, because I have a very strong feeling they're going more on gut instinct than scripture.

I only hear about these kinds of people online, though. Well, except the one time I heard a guy condemning Magic: The Gathering, but he was at least making sensible points about it.

Does it have to be xtian shit because I'm kind of working on a pastafatian spinoff that would work around worshiping delicious food and also maybe I could run a restaurant

[–] Sotuanduso@lemm.ee 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

For me it does, because Christianity is the only religion I can truthfully claim to be a fellow believer in.

You don't believe good food is godly? Heretic! (ง'̀-'́)ง

[–] Sotuanduso@lemm.ee 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Not godly, but a gift from God at least.

I'm down, but only if it's in walking distance from my dorm.
