If you click on some of the links on the main page, you'll see that they have a ladies site with pink backgrounds, frilly graphics, and soft hymn music playing in the background. "-_- A demeaningly stark contrast, in some ways.

Whatever the theological deficiencies of the aforementioned site, protesting the protest against public nudity is probably not the wisest course of action. ;)

Yeah, because it makes so much sense for a Christian website to do that. ;)

And why is dancing in the Bible if it's wrong? Now, I will admit, some types of dances are not good, but not all. :yes:

Then he goes "David's dancing wasn't dirty it was God-honoring!" and then he goes "Dancing should be between a husband and his wife in the privacy of their own home". Garbage. :noway:

I noticed that the base site for this is the same site that is saying the King James Bible is the ONLY Bible and if you have any other version, you are a heretic...I believe we had this discussion somewhere else. Ugh, these people disgust me. Makes me sick what is being preached and represented as "Christianity". And I cannot express how angry their comments make me, lol...of course, men are perfect and to be worshipped by all women, who are completely evil and must be controlled by stuffing them in a corner in the house and beating them until they submissively cook food and clean obsessively. GAH! If I ever meet one of the writers of that site...It will take excellent self-control (or assisted self-control) to restrain myself from punching them. Then tying them up and lecturing them, informing them of the intelligence of women and what idiots they are. Not that it would do any use, but might make me feel better :P

Yuppers...oh wait, I forgot, my opinion doesn't matter and is obviously wrong. I'm surprised you even bothered reading my silly and/or evil comment. Oh, and I love (note sarcasm) how it says on another page "feminism and lesbianism are synonymous"...umm...HARDLY. And considering that I hate knitting and don't want kids, according to them, I guess I'm just gonna be baking a whole lot of cookies and making myself and my non-existent husband fat...oh wait, I don't get to decide anything of what I do, right? That's up to my currently non-existent husband. So what happens if I don't get married? Should I be put to death at the stake? Or am I allowed to join a convent?

On an atheist forum I attend a lot, we concluded that the site "jesus-is-savior.com" is in fact a troll site. Most likely done by a group of agnostics/atheist who want to make a mockery of conservative protestants views and beliefs or simply for the "lulz". I mean really, no one can possibly take the site serious unless they truly believe what they believe, which is probably only 1%. Though I do admit, I read the site for fun when I'm in a bad mood, you get the best laughs possible. I mean it people, try it when your have a down day.

I sometimes have trouble telling whether things are genuine or if someone's trolling because of all the strange people my family has met. :anxious: There are some pretty weird individuals around. But I could see that being a likely scenario. :-k Though that would probably mean that all the other sites that website links to are listed there out of mockery--they're not anywhere near as over-the-top or offensive, but they're still conservative and tacky enough that someone would feel the need to take shots at them. If that's the case, that's extremely rude and defaming to those other people.

We were discussing another church website that unashamedly blasted all non-KJV Bibles, as I recall.

They also call Whoopi Goldberg a lesbian...ignoring the fact that she's had, what, three husbands or something?

I honestly just busted up laughing. !!!

And wow... thanks to the person of that website. Apparently all of the USA is retarded. Cute.

Adventist's also don't "believe", if you want to say that, in dancing. They don't stand for it or anything, but that doesn't mean some of us don't like to dance *uh, then again, most of us Adventist's can't dance. the ongoing joke. ;)*. DAVID DANCED. I approve of dancing. Is all DANCING wrong? No. Is all of it right? No to that either. I think it depends on who you are dancing for. A father/daughter dance at a wedding? A first couple dance? The right motives. Dancing in a stripe club? Maybe not. Dancing because you want to for God? the right motives. I mean, really. People go to extremes to try to disprove something, or prove something. There is always a middle though. And for each middle, there is a right and wrong. You just have to have the brains to understand that and live to it.

Is all music good? No. Is all music bad? No. A right and wrong to that too.

And guys, remember that everyone has different beliefs. Some Christians believe in the Trinity - some DON'T. Every denomination is different, every PERSON is different in their beliefs. So, even IF that site is a troll site, *shrug* Some people believe that dancing is wrong. But if they also say the USA is retarded, I get the feeling they don't live in the USA. Then again, I have found anti-Ellen White sites - been given links in fact. Ellen White was someone who helped found the SDA church/denomination of Christian.

But, wow... I love when people are blind, even in trolling.

Ummm... not to start a debate or anything, but don't Christians, by definition, have to believe in the Trinity? If Scripture says God is a Trinity, then to worship a god that isn't a Trinity is idolatry, right?

o.0 Never heard that before. I know some people on this SITE don't believe in the Trinity. Do they love God? Yes. Do I believe they will make it to Heaven? Absolutely. Really, that should strip away all confusion in the end.

And the Bible - to be honest - is not ENTIRELY clear on it. I got into a little bit of an argument of sorts with someone on another site because they didn't believe in the Trinity - that it was blaspheme to say that Jesus IS God - when it isn't, but *shrug* The person didn't really want to listen and I didn't want to press the matter. I believe in the Trinity. Jesus IS God, and He is God's son. The Holy Spirit is a part of God too - making the Trinity - they are three, and they are one - three identities for one person.

But no, I do not believe the Trinity is in any part a definition in the statement of calling yourself Christian. Christian means following Christ - Christ is the center.

Is the Trinity confusing? Yes. But I do know at least one denomination that doesn't believe in the Trinity.

PS: It really isn't much of a debate, but just so you know, some don't believe in the Trinity. *shrug* Why, I do not know. Does that make them any less? Nope.

Uh, @ Christian A. Bible never actually uses the word Trinity. But definitely says God is a Trinity.

@DAM Does it make them any less? Not at all! Does it make them less wrong? Not at all. ;)
