Seriously Steve 2: She Was a Woman, So She Probably F*cked Up Somewhere

[OhNoNike]

Today they’re feeding children everywhere but in the US.  
 

What about all the unwanted babies in the US you want women to carry to tell, guys?

Remember the checker at WalMart he harangued because she said she was a Christian but wasn't reading her bible everyday.

She should of have told him that she reads a page of the bible everyday as she tears it that page to use as rolling paper.

First sentence of this week's Seriously email-Most believers will be celebrating Jesus’ birth today (We understand and respect those who choose not to).   Yeah right.

Maybe she was an old hag or something.

Back in Ireland in the old days, Hag meant Holy One.  The patriarchy is to be thanked for disparaging that description.

If Steve came across a real Hag he would pee his pants.

I’ve often wondered whether there’s any connection between “hag” and “hagiography” (writing about saints). Off to look it up!

ETA: There isn’t, as one comes from Old English and the other from Greek, as I figured, but it’s a fun coincidence!

I think he is referring to those various fundie sects believers who celebrate the birth of Jesus on August 21 or some other date, depending on their understanding of Julian vs Gregorian calendars.

[PennySycamore]

@Black Aliss,  I was thinking of Eastern Christians, as well.  I don't know if anyone still does this, but some people in the Appalachians and Ireland used to celebrate Christmas on "Old Christmas" which is the Feast of Epiphany, January 6.

Never thought of that.  It just sounded weird, but then again writing is a talent missing in Maxhell.

[PennySycamore]

I'd wonder, though, if Steve would consider Eastern Orthodox and other Eastern Christians to be actual Christians.  Maybe he was including them in his count of believers  even though he thinks they aren't saved.

[Hane]

I think he’s referring to Christians so ultraconservative that they think celebrating Christmas at all is wrong because it’s “pagan” or because “the only birthdays mentioned in the Bible were those of Pharaoh and Herod” (Jehovah’s Witnesses).

My money would be on this.  I would be shocked if Steve considered Eastern or Orthodox Christians to be Christians at all.

My sister married into a Serbian Orthodox family and they have different dates for Christmas and Easter, so they celebrate both.

Or “if Jesus wanted us to celebrate His birthday, the Bible would tell us when and how.”

I always wondered if the Muncks weren't quite ready to give up their Christmas tree after they drank the Stevestown Kool-Aid, so that's when they started leaving it up all year 'round and re-decorating it for every minor holiday.

I hope they don't do anything based on Steve...but of all the things in life that are none of my business if I could be a fly on the wall when that engagement was called off I'd morph in a second.

I marvel at God’s design and the “magnetic attraction” little children possess. If you have “littles,” might you consider how God could use them to brighten other’s lives? “As arrows are in the hand of a mighty man; so are children of the youth” (Psalm 127:4)

Oh so he's ok with using children to proselitize. I guess people don't slam the door shut when they see them out caroling because they are with children.

"Children of the youth?"  As opposed to elderly children?

And of course they use the kids as human shields.  People are less likely to tell them to f off if there are kids there.

Back in early 2015, when I was staying at a motel after my apartment building was condemned, there was a knock at the door, and when I opened it, there were 3 or 4 children(probably 6-8 years old, definitely under ten)handing out tracts from the IFB church down the road.  I didn’t see any adults, but I presume they were waiting in a car in the parking lot.  I took a tract to be polite.

I probably would have done the same thing.

A tactic used by the late sports announcer Jack Buck when he had to take the child support checks to his first wife. He’d drag little Joe Buck (whose birth caused the divorce permitting Jack to marry wife #2) to lessen the negativity that was waiting. 

Thing is, these young shields eventually suffer. Joe wrote of the time his dad’s first wife went out of her way to give the little boy a hotdog prepared the way he didn’t like it. (This is all in his memoir, “Lucky Bastard,” which I refused to buy on general principles. I’m a charter member of the “Joe Buck Is Way Overrated” club. And I borrowed it from the library. I’m not a thief!)

Wonder how Steve feels, knowing an adulterer like Mr. Buck shared his child-shield ploy.

Well, dang!  I used to listen to Jack Buck call Cardinals games all the time when I was growing up,  Dad being a huge Cards fan.  I hate hearing that he did something so shitty as to use his kid as a shield.

Not positive what I would say, but I think I'd try something along the lines of "Thank you for offering, but I don't practice any religion or believe in any gods." With a genuinely friendly smile, in the hope that it might make a positive impression while communicating that there are people who are different than the people they know, but still nice.

 And probably if they reported back to the adult with them, they'd be told I am going to hell.

From Coward Steve's latest email-What harmful appetites have you created and fed? The flesh knows no limits. “Christian” dads are enslaved to food, laziness, alcohol, tobacco, entertainment, p**n, and even the news.   Is porn a cuss word in Maxhell just like deviled eggs.  He is way too obsessed with sex.

[uber frau]

Let's be honest: all fundies are sex obsessed. They wouldn't need all the bullshit 'purity' culture if they weren't.

Normal heathens don't consider contrasting buttons or a 5 year old's uncovered stomach as a temptation.

 

As for Steve: what about the harmful appetite for control?

 

[Eternalbluepearl]

The news? How is knowing what's going on with the world anti-christian? Oh. Wait. Information. About what other white christian lunatics are doing. About how women have choices. About how Daddy doesn't always know best. About how you can escape a cult, you don't have to vote for a tyrant just because you were raised to, etc. Gotcha.

I guess I have a dirty mind but I read that as 'poon.'  Peen works too.

Steve has led my normally wholesome mind astray.
