Religion Cows

[Judge Dredd]

What cows have found god or have strange religious beliefs? Do you think they're sincere in their belief? Do they even understand the religion they talk about?

To start the thread. Three specific examples.

Sargon of Akkad
His turn to Christianity seems to be incredibly dishonest to me. I want to say he even admitted on an episode of Lotus Eaters (his podcast) that he doesn't believe in god, but demands everyone go to church. He doesn't give a reason, just vague nonsense about "tradition". From the outside looking in, it seems his conversion to Christianity is a larp done because that's what American right wingers on the internet do and he wants to be in that circle of YouTubers.

Razorfist
A content creator who always liked edgy jokes, and while he still does, he seems to be scaling back on that since having a renewed interest in religion. He used to end his show with the phrase "god fucking speed!", he has since dropped the "fucking". He's stopped wearing shirts with demons and pantagrams, and even joined in with "goonergates" finger wagging moralism. Almost as if he has trolls remorse.

Styx
The guy claims to be into the occult, and supposedly he edits grimoires as a profession. When he talks about it in terms of linguistics and rituals as good habits, it makes sense and can even be interesting. When he starts talking about casting spells and other nonsense it falls apart. I don't think he really believes that he saved Trump from assassins by casting a spell, but it's a joke that wore out almost immediately.

For me it's the White Bowser. The fact that he poses as a devout Catholic infuriates me. I do hope he repents but right now he is just using the Faith as an excuse to watch loli or whatever the fuck it's called.

Edit: Chris Chan's religious beliefs have also fascinated me mainly because it's just so schizo and funny. Once again, God help him but he's just in such a deep hole.

That's the majority of internet Christians these days - I don't think most of the Deus Vult LARPers attend mass or go to confession at all.

When he starts talking about casting spells and other nonsense it falls apart.

He took credit for someone from the prosecution officer killing themselves and ascribed it to one of his spells...

Stephanie Cianfriglia - used to be big into Satanism, is now “married” to Loki lol

Part of why this was on my mind was seeing Christians shouting down "Christians" during goonergate.

A quick recap is some so called "Christians" were mad as sexy women in games and being fun police about it. It would turn out that many of the big name "Christians" were recent converts, usually with some skeleton in their closet. There were many arguments made, with the "real" Christians winning out imo. Things like being selective with the bible (it says nothing about video games, but says plenty about their own behaviour which they choose to hand wave).

I do wonder how far this pseudo religious larp will go, and how genuinely religious people will react to it.

 

[Hongourable Madisha]

All the Muslim convert cows like Frogan and the other Hasan orbiters, Chantal and that one pooner. Idk how much of that is a trend or a LARP though and how much is actual belief.

Do apostates count, if it's part of their cowdom?
Lloyd Evans made his name as an ex-Jehovah's Witness. It's his entire brand.
Russel Greer is ex-Mormon and makes a huge fuss about it. They're both very similar, "bawww my church told me not to be a degenerate, so now as an adult who's left the church, I have no choice but to run around whorehouses fucking every trafficked girl I see"

I can't imagine why they want to lock him up, he seemed like such a productive member of society.

Also, there was a thread that hasn't really taken off, [Early WIP] Islamic Dawah Community about some Islamic preachers with a prominent social media prescence, and holy fuck they are an insane bunch. Highly recommend checking some of them out.

I assume one of those is related to the whole content cop drama and fallout? There was some fat woman who wore a hijab who was part of it. I didn't follow it at the time, but from what I gather she supposedly tried to use her "religion" as a shield from criticism.

Dawah Man, inbred Paki who who comes up with such terrible arguments like "atheists drink their dad's sperm"

 

[LORD IMPERATOR]

Melanie Mac would be another obvious choice. She dresses provocatively while using Christ as a shield to condemn gooner-gamers, yet she adores Lara Croft, a character who was literally made FOR GOONING. Literally, Lara's designers worked overtime to round out her boobs and butt so that male gamers can ogle her while playing. White-knighting for Melanie is what destroyed Razorfist's career, because at that point, Melanie was just a religious version of Anita Sarkeesian, whining about video games that have sexy women.

Part of why this was on my mind was seeing Christians shouting down "Christians" during goonergate.

I do wonder how far this pseudo religious larp will go, and how genuinely religious people will react to it.

The actual saints of the institutional Christian Church like Saints Augustine and Thomas Aquinas stated that "if you get rid of harlots, the world will convulse with lust." One of the French kings, Saint Louis IX, tried to get rid of prostitution, and not too long after, women in his realm started complaining about men trying to force them into shotgun weddings, and he was forced to reverse his decision.

And Jesus Christ Himself never tried to get rid of the gooners of His day, which were the harlots; He tried to reform them, He spent time with them, but He never tried to ban them or stone them to death like what the Pharisees wanted.

Gooner games with sexy chicks are the modern equivalent of harlots; they have outpaced actual whores in terms of mass appeal and sex appeal. Trying to get rid of them won't get rid of the unwanted sexual energy within men. But since people like Razorfist, Melanie Mac, and Styxhexenhammer were recent converts, the nuances of the faith are things that escape them, and they go for the basic-bitch idea of banning gooner-games because their primitive version of the Faith said so.

These "Christians" wanting to get rid of gooner games and castigating their players are the modern equivalent of the Pharisees who wanted Jesus to accept their stoning to death of that prostitute. This pseudo-puritanical condemnation of someone or something for their carnal desires, while trying to handwaive away their own sins. The actual, experienced Christians knew this is wrong, so they opposed that.

Sargon used to be one of the big dogs of the Skeptic Community. That whole cavalcade of people attacking low-IQ Evangelicals while also disparaging belief in God. Him wanting people to go to Church for "tradition" is an empty gesture; you're supposed to go to Church for GOD, not vague traditions that God may or may not go along with. Back in the day, circumcision was the tradition for boys, it got replaced by baptism.

Razorfist
A content creator who always liked edgy jokes, and while he still does, he seems to be scaling back on that since having a renewed interest in religion. He used to end his show with the phrase "god fucking speed!", he has since dropped the "fucking". He's stopped wearing shirts with demons and pantagrams, and even joined in with "goonergates" finger wagging moralism. Almost as if he has trolls remorse.

The dude is completely dishonest. He claims the Satanic Panic was a Leftist psy-op, yet he once identified it as real back in his MK11 review; in that same review, he got mad that his favorite Mortal Kombat chick, Mileena, was covered up in MKX. Then he recently defended Baldur's Gate 3, which had sex with demons, gays, and animals. Which makes his condemnation of First Descendant, a game with no sex but just attractive-looking girls, seem rather hypocritical.

Styx
The guy claims to be into the occult, and supposedly he edits grimoires as a profession. When he talks about it in terms of linguistics and rituals as good habits, it makes sense and can even be interesting. When he starts talking about casting spells and other nonsense it falls apart. I don't think he really believes that he saved Trump from assassins by casting a spell, but it's a joke that wore out almost immediately.

No good Christian would get entangled with the occult. Styx being on the same side as them without them condemning his heathen, occult beliefs goes to show that their Christianity is a sham. A good Christian would trust God and not dabble in that bullshit. Especially since good Christians like Christopher Lee noted that it would destroy your mind and soul.

These people used to metaphorically rake feminists like Anita Sarkeesian over the coals because the feminists said that sexy women in video games is demeaning and objectifying. Then, ten years later, these so-called anti-feminists preach that sexy women in video games is degenerate slop that goes against God, even though the actual Biblical God had no problems with real-world hookers and took a merciful tone with them. Styx and Razor don't realize that they've become the Anita Sarkeesians of today.
