Something weird to share with DU'ers, religion is just crazy

[Nimrod2005]

I frequent this stock discussion board from time to time, I posted where I thought the stock price is going...etc. Just an opinion, nothing unusual, then I got this guy responding:

"thanks bozo for your expert opinion...NOT...this stock is poised to go to 50 this year....it don't matter what your thoughts are...don't be foolish...buy some of this stock while you still can get a bargain price.....60 is not out of the questions for this year....go (deleted stock symbol)....i have been waiting for over 2 years for this blast to the top...unlike some of you clowns on here who change with the wind...won'te mention any names...they know who they are....always wanting to be correct...few people actually make money in stocks and horse racing....i give the glory to GOD ALMIGHTY for everything that he allows my family to have....this world is not our home, we are just a passing through...if it were not for HEAVEN, oh LORD what would i do...so come good or bad i am content in the LORD JESUS CHRIST...go (deleted stock symbol)."

WTF?

He attacks me and calls me bozo, which is fine, then he indicates his greed and love for money, that the stock will go to $50.00 or even $60.00 when it is trading at $37.00 now, then tells me about his fuckin' lord...etc.

Now how Christian is that?

1. Hahahaha!

And there, in one abusive message, we see the American split personality.

[Crazy Dave]

2. About like the right-wing christian dill-wad I got working next to me

Calls himself a christian, hates gays and wears t-shirts with rebel flags on them. Any and every argument gets you a "Bill Clinton did the same thing" or "Because the bible says so".

3. Tell him

1Ti 6:10 For the love of money is the root of all evil: which while some coveted after, they have erred from the faith, and pierced themselves through with many sorrows.

[Sal Minella]

4. Pretty much Standard Issue, judging from the ones I know. eom

[proud2BlibKansan]

5. Ask him what stock would Jesus buy?

[msgadget]

6. LOL!

:rofl: That IS crazy! :rofl: I've seen religious...inserts and diatribes in other forums but nothing quite like that! They're more along the line of prayer requests and indignant protest re language or topics.

7. And the "Jes' Passin' Thru..." reference...

That's the real problem with these dominionist POS'. They are "just passin' thru" because "This is NOT our HOME", so they can burn, cut, slash, wipe their asses on it all they want, because Jeebus will take them to a NEW world to foul up.

Bet he owns all of Joel Osteen, Rod Parsely, and Benny Hinn's tapes and books

8. Not all people worship the same Christ

9. Tell him a bunch of us on DU are praying for the stock to tank. n/t

[Nimrod2005]

10. NO - I own it, and there is no reason for it to go to $60.00 ....NT

[Ian David]

11. Well, maybe his Jeezus is stronger than your so-called "logic"? n/t

[sam sarrha]

15. My Saviour can Kick Our Saviour's ass any day, and im chosen and youre not

[peacetalksforall]

12. Very typical neo-christian. Conflicted logic. Deficient logic. And tons

of rationalization. Selected biblical references. Twist and turn interpretatiaons. Lacking Ten Commandments and the Beatitudes and no acceptance or integration of other religious models and beliefs.

[callous taoboy]

13. Lot's of worthy medications out there for the delusional-

He sounds like he could use a 'script.

[baby_mouse]

14. This poor man is clearly quite unwell.

I think you should respond with something tactful and supportive like:

"Smithers doesn't think you're hot anymore, Mr Burns."

18. ROFLMAO...nt

16. Stock boards are fun

I read a few yahoo stock message boards too and there is no end of the crazy on most of them. Kind of entertaining in a way. It's sort of like going to the race track and hanging around with the hard core gamblers. There are touts and bashers. There are long running insane feuds. It stands to reason (maybe that's the wrong word) that some of the traders are superstitious. They will invoke whatever belief system they have in order to justify their bet.

[Nimrod2005]

19. These are wise words --- I agree.

[drm604]

17. He's probably just trying to pump up a stock he owns

by talking it up on message boards. The religion stuff is just window dressing; part of his spiel.

20. WSWJB?
