    In another thread on this page rsr posted a link to the following page
    http://www.geocities.com/theawakeningnews/Religion-Satanists_Photos.html
    I was bored, so I followed a couple of links on the site and stumbled on the following
    http://www.geocities.com/theawakeningnews/Secret_Societies-Black_Pope.html
    http://www.geocities.com/theawakeningnews/Secret_Societies-Black_Pope_2.html
    I had lunch with this guy recently. I've known him since 1988.
    Since when do christians(and I use this term loosely here) go around creating websites telling the world a friend of mine is evil? Come to think of it, why wasn't I notified?!
    what in Heaven's name is going on here?!

    Hey Mioque,

    Yes, it's sad, disappointing, and unchristian. I firmly believe that these sorts of sites that run down others are just the electronic version of the school-yard bully, picking on others as a means of boosting his own self-esteem. Lowering others by any means necessary makes him feel more self-righteous.

    God bless,
    Brian

    I agree, mioque. I don't believe the pics on the first site are authentic - they could be a cut and paste job with the devil's sign. The devil's sign is very similar to the love sign in sign language.

    About your friend on the other site. It's appalling to me that such bashing goes on by so-called Christians but anybody with a computer who knows a little HTML can put up a web site and make any slanderous remarks or allegations they choose to make about anybody it seems.

    I've even seen some very hateful slanderous remarks here on the BB about Billy Graham, Franklin Graham, Benny Hinn, Jack Chick, and others. So nothing surprises me anymore.

    But there is a day coming when everyone will be judged in TRUTH. People forget that.

    Sorry about your friend. :(

    I've seen that hand gesture many times. It's used by the deaf. It means "I love you".

    There's also a similar gesture used by surfers that means "hang loose" it's just the lingo...that surfers use...mostly in Hawaii.

    There's also the peace sign that also means two.

    When will it stop? When will people stop seeing the "devil" in everything?!

    I think that as long as anyone supports fear being the "god" of christianity...websites like this will show up.

    Eventually something's got to give. I'm not buying into that whole fear thing being the all important catalyst to faith. I think it's asinine.

    Thanks guys.
    I was just stunned when I found it.
    You don't discover every day that people fill webpages with the claim that somebody you have known personally for 15 years is the most evil person on the planet. :eek:

    It's frightening sometimes to realize how much drivel is out there, religious and secular, and how many people will believe in something just because there's a Web site that spreads it.

    And the beauty about the conspiracy sites is that they assume their conspiracies to be true. After all, the fact that the conspiracy can't be verified independently proves the conspiracy — or at least that you're either a victim of the conspiracy or are in on it yourself if you challenge it.

    And the Hook em Horns sign of the Texas Longhorns is a satanic symbol according to one of the sites. Never knew the University of Texas was affiliated with Satanism. [​IMG] :rolleyes:

    Seriously Chick Publications had a book out years ago accusing Petra and Amy Grant of being affiliated with Satanism. God will judge slanderers. :(

    He will also judge those who want to keep their heads in the sand, too.

    I followed the links, and the second one exhibits the patent stupidity of the author.
    Here is a quote:
    "When you steal from the Vatican, like the Cardinal did at the PII Lodge, they killed him (Kalvi), and they hanged the other guy, beginning with the admiralty jurisdiction, at their first bridge of the sea."

    The idiot that wrote this doesn't even know how to spell the man's last name: it was CALVI!! In case you didn't know this story, Calvi was a banker for the Vatican and was found hanging from a bridge. The sentence seemingly implies that Calvi was a Cardinal. [I read a book about this entitled God's Banker.]

    Moreover, this was usurped from the movie The Godfather III when Michael Corleone [Al Pacino] was attempting to take the crime family into the legitimate business world by purchasing the majority interest in a company called Immobilare [I am sure that I misspelled this] from the Vatican.
    :rolleyes:

    Warmest I-am-an-orange-blooded-UT-grad-from-Knoxville Greetings to you, LadyEagle. I just got back from my hometown, and had an absolutely fantastic holiday with my family, and sincerely hope yours was as well!!

    The folks at Chick Publications don't even know which Version of God's Holy Word they are using, and make statements ranging from wildly irresponsible to horribly egregious. [My personal favorite is the Catholic conspiracy to get the Apocrypha into the Authorised Version!!] They can be judged in truth today - we don't have to wait. [​IMG]

    Ok, I was so totally joking when I posted to the other thread about the hook em horns sign and spiderman....... and now I go to the links you posted, and they actually have them listed there!

    Good grief Charlie Brown! :eek: :rolleyes:

    How paranoid can people get?! Makes me think they experimented one too many times with some meth or some such thing. These folks need some major therapy and a nice white jacket with custom taylored sleeves that meet in the back!
