My Facebook problem.
A comedy article

I've been on Facebook for a few years now. When I started, most of my friends were indeed, my friends. That would be people I've met in person and online and got along with in both venues. But that would all change about one year ago when my family discovered the joys of Facebook. It only took a few days for my Friends List to grow by a substantial margin. I was getting friend requests from cousins and kin that I had never heard of. I thought it rude to "decline" to be friends with these long lost family members and accepted all of the requests.
This was a bad, bad mistake...
You see, I'm a black sheep. My family are all Baptists. In fact, I was raised a Baptist. But I rebelled and rebuked this belief system at a very early age. It all started at the tender age of eight when I posed one of the most important questions that I, at that point, had ever asked:
"Why did God make Eve twice?"
I should mention that the answer I received from my Uncle, and current Facebook friend, was a bit more important. He said, and I'll never forget this:
"We should not question the word of God."
I didn't understand this answer. But it did confirmed a suspicion that had been growing in me for a while. The suspicion was that adults, could be wrong. It was at this point in my life that I turned to science for answers. And I never turned back.
25 years later...
Now I have a Facebook problem. I'm bombarded by "god this" and "jesus that". And I'm Frost-ing sick of it.
I can't just delete them. That would raise a stink, and I get enough of that when I poop. I also don't want to confront them about my disbelief in their beliefs. I learned many moons ago that these type of people cannot be argued with. I'm not going to explain why the Earth is a wee bit older than 6000 years. I'm just not going to do it.
So how do I gently remove them from my Facebook page? This is becoming a serious problem for me. It's getting to the point where I don't go there anymore. It's like every time I load my page I'm back in church. And I've had it!
However, I have a plan.
My idea is to start posting links and comments on my homepage that takes a light sense of humor to common Christian beliefs. Comments not overly offensive, but most certainly to cause raised eyebrows among believers. My theory is that they will slowly deleted me from their friends list.
Not surprisingly, for me anyhow, Baptists are some of the most unforgiving people you'll ever meet. You believe as they do, or you suck and are bound for hell. That's the response I'm expecting. But I'm not going to argue. I'm just making a joke, after all. Ha Ha.
So if anybody has any good light hearted jabs at Christianity, please post them here.
And monitor my facebook page for any juicy drama lamas...

You could start posting some of the racier or harder-to-defend bible verses. If you look around in that silly little book, there's stuff about turning chicks into prostitutes, jacking off donkeys, stoning Cub Scouts for masturbating, and even one defending the actions of Tracy Morgan.
It's quite a complex book.

I have about 5 or so facebook friends that are Christians and will post Praise Jesus stuff all the time. But I don't see it every time I open up my facebook page because I have also "liked" so many random things like the local news stations, Star Trek, Harry Potter, Shakespeare My Kids Ruined, etc. Those tend to have lots of status updates and they clutter up my page so much that I barely see what is going on with real people.
If you want them to unfriend you on facebook without actually pissing them off, the best option is Too Much Information. Link to articles about the top 10 sex toys. Have a whole album dedicated to pics of you without a shirt. Ask for suggestions in your status update on the best remedy for jock itch. Post random pictures of gaping wounds, pretending that they're yours - "I was grilling a steak and look what happened!" Link to pictures of celebrities in bikinis and comment on what you would like to do to them. Post status updates bragging about your most recent belch, fart or bowel movement.

Somehow I've managed to not acquire too many nutjob religious Facebook friends. I have a rule that I don't friend anyone from my mom's generation. One of her friends tried and I quickly rejected it.
I have enough Christian friends to know better than to post anything too offensive, though I do occasionally speak my mind about certain aspects of religion and whatnot, but I think that's ok.
What I hate are the overly-political posts from both my left-wing and right-wing friends. "Anyone who disagrees with Obama is a racist" vs. "Obama/Osama, JUST SAYIN'!!!!" I wish they would all get into a steel cage and fight to the death. Then I can put a bullet in the head of the last man standing.
But at least they're not posting overly-long descriptions of their dreams on a comedy message board. I'd just as soon be stuck in a room with a fundie offering me proof that dinosaur bones were put there by Jesus.

I don't know which is worse, the overly religious, or the overly suspicious.
I have a friend who posts an enormous amount of conspiracy theories. Did you know that fluoride is in the drinking supply to control the masses and make us consumer-sheep and our cellphone data can be instantly downloaded by police to repressively control our lives and chem trails are poisoning our air with small bits of aluminum & causing cancer?
It's a master-plan, I tell you.

I have one or 2 of the same Jeeni. Its actually hilarious. I know the guy from work, and saw him at a friend's party. He was telling people on the bus on his way home about it. They asked him "So, what conspiracy theories do you believe" and he said "All of them"
He believe the earth is hollow, and that our theory of gravity is wrong, and the center of gravity is in the earth's crust, not the earth's core. He also believes that there is a hole in the north pole that leads into the center of the earth and you can just walk on in. And that there is a society that lives in there, and have created their own artificial sun down there.
He also thinks that World War 2 as a whole was a conspiracy by the Jews to take over Israel and gain more control of the world through getting sympathy from other nations.

I have some super religious ones, mostly people I went to high school with (who were slutty and drug users then). One always writes in all caps about how "BLESSED" everything is.
I have only unfriended one guy, some guy I went to high school with who was always posting stupid anti-Obama Shakespeare, like calling him Comrade Obama. You know, I know there are those who have legitimate reasons not to like him--for instance, the super rich and greedy--but I don't need to read stupid Shakespeare that has no basis in reality.
Another guy unfriended me and everyone (or he just quit Facebook) when he went to prison for pandering. He worked with my sister. It was kind of funny.
All my Facebook friends are people I really know--either in person or online, and I do have a lot of relatives. If they don't like my religious belief (which I have posted as athiest) or my left-wing Shakespeare, that's their problem.
Although, mainly, I post pictures and videos of my baby now. Who could object to that?

That actually does work, but the person has to be either crazy, hormonal, and/or on drugs.
Since they're religious zealots, they are at least the first of those.

But you know he got sick head from Ally Sheedy so you pretty much just have to figure out who here is the one who dumps her purse out on the couch and invites everyone into their problems and decide if you feel better or worse.

Nope. Sheedy scored with the jock, after he decided she was worthy once she put some lipstick on. The princess went with the burnout, leaving Hall's character the only one to have to go home and masturbate.
In conclusion: I'm pretty sure every single male on Zug identifies with the Hall character.

I think it was just because he related to the Hall character more than all the rest and it was then that he realized the geeks will never get laid (unless they create a woman in a different movie) but someday the jocks will work for them and the burnouts will pump gas for them.

I find that a little gentle ribbing usually makes my Christian friends stop posting their proselytizing messages where I might see them. Here's a good one:
Q: Why did the Christian preacher cross the road?
A: There was a boy over there whose ass he hadn't raped yet.

Let me think on it Nutters, and tonight I'll try to give you both when I fall asleep. Do you prefer Brontosaurus or T-rex remains? I'd add in raptors, but you're no Frat. At some point, you gotta put limits on crazy.
