The absurdity of Internet Message Boards

Myspace.com has the most ridiculous conversations on their religious message board.

Take a peek

You have a fine variety of the usual religious message board poster archetypes.

1) The Ticked off atheist, who doesn't really care to prove anything, just anger as many ignorant theists as possible

2) The Twelve year old athiest who thinks he can make fools of the much older and better learned theists of the board.

3) The quasi neo Gnostic who loves to expound on "real" Christianity, you know, before Rome got ahold of it.

4) The non-Christian (of any persuasion) who boils Christianity down to closminded bigotry coupled with Illogical theology.

5) The "Da Vinci" knowitalls who think Dan Brown is a Historian.

Frustrating.

And there are several more types.

I also feel sorry for the poor sweet Christians, who truly love Christ, but are not sharpened for this type of thing. Sometimes they get in over their heads, and get ripped apart by the sharks.

Sad.

It also frustrates me, that there are so many trolls, it is difficult to have a real conversation.
