Whining Freeps: Not Ennuf Wrappin' Paper With JEEESUS On It!

[K8-EEE]

WAaaaaah!!! Do these people have any ACTUAL problems, that they have to make up this shit??

http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/1538468/posts

This thread is actually pretty entertaining!! One of them asks "If I chose to raise my child half Jewish, do I still beling here?" and another Freeptard answers, "HALF Jewish? You either believe Jesus is your savior or you don't!"

LOL! Then when people respond with tons of links buying JEEEZUS gift wrap, they protest that shopping Christian stores is like being in "Christian ghetto!"

Holy Jesus on a trailer hitch, these people have the persectution complex to end all complexes.

[Sandpiper]

1. I'll support them if one of them can show me...

The law, article, or amendment to the constitution...

That protects their inalienable right to be regaled with Christian music and symbols while engaging in retail debauchery.

[Bellamia]

5. Constitution?

What Constitution? Its just a damn piece of paper, or some such words.
Being sarcastic of course............

[JackBeck]

12. What I find heelarious

is that the Christian Puritans who decided to squat here made it illegal to celebrate Christmas.

Forward to today, they've got their savior as president and he can't even wish them a "Merry Christmas" like his daddy did. And on top of it, not only does Shrub tell them to have a "Happy Holidays", he goes and quotes the Old Testament on the same card.

[Sandpiper]

14. The politics of personal bitterness knows no bounds with these people

The fact that Christmas, a Christian religious celebration, is a federal holiday isn't enough for them.

If everyone doesn't wish them "Merry Christmas," they're being insufferably persecuted.

[madeline_con]

2. What is a "Christian ghetto"?

If they don't want to shop in those stores, they'll have to settle for Santas, Scooby, Spongebob and stars of David on their stuff.

[sleipnir]

55. The Midwest.

Oh, wait...that's most of the friggin' country....

[NMMNG]

63. Apparently if you have to shop in a specialty store for your desired

specialty item you are being forced into a ghetto. Therefore if you have to go to MVP Sports to get a footbal helmet, Michael's Crafts to get some plastic canvas, Pep Boys to get a muffler for your car, or CompUSA to get a new memory chip for your laptop you are being forced into a ghetto. It's time for mainstream department stores to wake up and start selling every damn thing the consumer might conceivably want! We will not be forced into ghettos anymore damnit!!!! :sarcasm:

[TallahasseeGrannie]

3. I would consider wrapping paper

with Jesus on it very tasteless. Geez. i'd NEVER use it.

[Sandpiper]

17. I think it's quite appropriate

Nothing would convey the TRUE meaning of Christmas in this country like ripping the baby Jesus to shreds in a fury of avarice and covetousness.

[TallahasseeGrannie]

19. I guess we do it all the time, might as well do it

symbolically as well, huh?

[MADem]

66. You gave me my laugh of the day! Thanks!!! n/t

[Garbo 2004]

26. Have you ever seen The Last Supper chocolate bar? Care to

nibble on an Apostle or the Lord Jesus himself? http://www.sweetricks.com/AA%20onl_candybars.htm#LAST SUPPER CANDY BAR Beyond tacky. I first saw one years ago and was amazed. It was being sold as an Easter treat and not as a bizarre sacrilegious joke. (I admit I bought some as joke gifts.)

Here's an article on these kind of treats: http://www.phillyburbs.com/pb-dyn/news/111-04202003-76382.html

I guess after Holy Communion, eating a chocolate Jesus is no big deal for some folks. :shrug:

[Sapphocrat]

33. Now I'm really full of questions.

Do you have to wait until Easter Sunday, or is it more proper to eat Chocolate Jesus on Good Friday? Will you make Easter happen on Saturday if you can't wait, and devour him on Holy Thursday instead? What if you have a really bad chocolate craving because you're pregnant? Is there a special dispensation for immaculately-consumed chocolate? If I give up eating Chocloate Jesus for Lent, can I eat him during the other 48 weeks of the year? How long is Chocolate Jesus' shelf life: three days or 33 years? When you finally do eat him, is it a mortal sin to bite off Jesus' head first, so he won't keep staring at you? Or would that actually be more merciful? Are there any chocolate Apostles? If so, is John the sweetest because he was Jesus' favorite? Do you think Jesus would mind if you ate Judas first? Or should you save Judas for last, and make him suffer?

I just know I'm going to have nightmares about the closet in "Carrie" tonight.


P.S. Before the flaming starts, please, dear Christian brethren, take my posts not as blasphemy, but exactly as they're meant: to point out the sacrilege of Jesus giftwrap, Jesus chocolates, and the whole damn RW whine: "You're commercializing Christmas, you liberal heathen bastards!" followed immediately by "Wahhhh! Mall-Wart is taking the baby Jesus out of our precious tradition of the Blessed Season of Greed and Consumption!"

[FreedomAngel82]

41. Oh I know what you mean

It's sad. Jesus has become commercialized.

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

44. Or the Jesus candle?

With a wick on the top of his head, which melts as the candle burns. Weird and tacky.

[TrogL]

76. I don't remember Jesus enjoining people to eat chocolate

(or give gifts in His memory for that matter)

[incapsulated]

47. Weird, indeed

Never seen any myself. Either I need to get out more or they are living in another world.

[Sapphocrat]

4. Question.

Do fundies have an equivalent to the Catholic concepts of "mortal" and "venial" sins?

If so, is ripping Jesus' face to shreds in order to get to your new Norelco razor a mortal sin? If you tape the pieces together later, is the sin reduced to venial? What if everything but Jesus' face gets shredded, and you auction the paper off on eBay as Miracle Jesus Wrap -- does it go back up to being a mortal sin again?

[K8-EEE]

7. It DOES Seem Rather Sacreligous...

You have to weight that close shave against the shredded baby JEEEZUSes all over the floor....getting walked on...tsk tsk tsk!

[Sapphocrat]

15. I think it depends whether the fundy's psoriasis has been acting up or not

See, every time one of the fundies has skin trouble, he has to wait a week after it clears up, and then "he must shave off all his hair; he must shave his head, his beard, his eyebrows and the rest of his hair..." after which he has to sacrifice three lambs to God. (Lev. 14:8-10)

So I guess that since the Bible says so, maybe it's OK to rip the Holy Infant to shreds in order to clear up that nagging acne problem.

[rucky]

67. then 3 days after X-mas...

the gift mysteriously re-wraps itself.

[Raine]

What do they need Jesus wrapping paper for

if they really believe Christ belongs in Christmas why are they taking part in an exchange of gifts that has nothing to do with the true meaning of Christmas??? :shrug:

[K8-EEE]

True, Giving Gifts To Homeless, Poor Families...

as took place in the first Christmas, would be a great idea....except for they hate homeless and poor people, especially the NOLA ones.

[0007]

18. Will this work?

[China_cat]

6. My holiday card to the freepers

[Bunny]

9. HAHAHAHAHA!

:rofl:

[Voltaire99]

35. Brilliant, love it!

[wryter2000]

8. Holy shit

This confirms my theory that this is Terri Schiavo all over again.

I don't think I've ever seen wrapping paper with Bible themes. I've celebrated 56 Christian Christmases so far. What is fucking wrong with these people?

I hope that person with the half-Jewish child wises up and leaves that cesspool.

[TallahasseeGrannie]

10. oh. my. god.

I thought when I first started to read your post you were suggesting Terri Schiavo wrapping paper. I speed read.

Oh, my. But you know what? I really wouldn't be surprised.

[wryter2000]

69. Ack

:scared: You're right. :rofl:

I can picture some moron putting her on Christmas cards, right next to Roy's rock.

[NYC]

11. Use the Jesus wrapping paper to wrap

the "truly god awful" gifts from here

http://www.cheesyjesus.com/



And they do have tape to go with the gift wrap.

[npincus]

13. How about Fetus-wrapping paper for those Pro-Lifers?

Jesus would approve!

[theHandpuppet]

68. Don't laugh...

I have a friend whose sister encloses anti-choice pamphlets with all of her Christmas cards, complete with pics of aborted fetuses.

[shenmue]

16. Unbelievable

"We have to shop in stores that cater solely to our interests!"

Huh? They consider this a bad thing? Then why do they open these stores?

It's just so horrible that not everyone shares their religion...jimony...

[K8-EEE]

22. I thought they believed in the "free market..."

If enough of them want to buy tacky commercial Jeezus stuff then one of them should be an entrepeneur and start manufacturing more of it....don't they always think the MARKET takes care of everything, buncha hypocrites.

[FreedomAngel82]

42. You know what it is?

It's about me, me, me with them. Damn everyone else. I guess they forgot the second commandment from Jesus: love thy neighbor as thy self.

[Garbo 2004]

20. Yup because we all know when Jesus said sell all you have and give it to

poor and follow me he really meant buy up loads of unnecessary shit and pass it around to friends and family?

Easter's supposed to be THE big Christian holiday, not Christmas. With the resurrection and that salvation thing that these folks claim to profess. Mebbe I just missed the significance of Christian gift wrap in my catechism class? I went to a conservative Lutheran church. Christmas was a good deal and a good time but the big holy day was Easter, for obvious reasons. Seems to me that Easter's been conviently eclipsed with all this hoohah over the commercialized Christmas.

Bet most of these fundie folks don't know that the Puritans actually banned celebrating Christmas.

[frazzledmom]

21. HALF Jewish? You either believe Jesus is your savior or you don't!"

Maybe this idiot ment to say "You either believe Jesus is a Jew or you don't!"

[FreedomAngel82]

43. Yep

Jesus was a Jew. I'm a Christian because I follow what he says etc. Same thing with the Ten Commandments they want everywhere. They're Jewish laws. The people were slaves to Pharoah in Egypt and got free with the help of Moses and Aaron. When they got free God gave Moses the laws, Ten Commandments, as rules and guide lines for their life since they weren't used to being free.

[K8-EEE]

74. FR Follow Up To "Half Jewish" Bru-haha: 'PIZZA BAGELS!'

fREEPER RESPONSE TO THE HALF JEWISH PERSON:

"They're pizza bagels whether you can accept it or not!

Get over yourself, chill out.

Children born to a jewish mother are JEWISH.

Children born to a gentile mother and a jewish father are not considered JEWISH.

Silly isn't it.

All this squabbling is meaningless unless they're invoking their right of return to Israel.

For now they live in Colorado and Ohio with no plans to emigrate to Israel."

OMG these people crack the hell out of me. LOL!! PIZZA BAGELS?

[CrazyOrangeCat]

23. I've been waiting for so long . . .

... for Fetus wrapping paper . . . this is an exciting night.

[DBoon]

31. I think a fellow named Thirwell in Australia has thought of this

and besides, who would want wrapping paper like this?

[CatholicEdHead]

24. This is pretty good

Are they inferring tearing out pages out of the bible for wrap? :wtf:

[tlsmith1963]

25. They Have Really Soured Me on Christmas

& religion too, for that matter. What a bunch of whiny, mean-spirited, annoying people. I can't wait until Christmas is over just so I won't have to hear "You're anti-Christian because you say Happy Holidays instead of Merry Christmas" anymore. Geez, give it a rest.

Tammy

[CatholicEdHead]

27. That is until next Halloween when it will start all over again

:(

[Bluebear]

32. 'whiny, mean-spirited, annoying people'

I couldn't think of better adjectives.

[FreedomAngel82]

45. I agree

Just because I'm a Christian doesn't mean everyone I meet on the street is. If I don't know someone I'm going to say "happy holiday's" to be nice and polite. My mother did teach me manners after all. ;) It's just following the second commandment from Jesus. I wouldn't want someone else treating me so rudely. We're a country with many different walks of life and thus means different faiths. They need to get used to the fact people aren't going to bow down to their needs and wishes. They seriously need to grow up.

[maveric]

28. Would Jesus approve of the orgiastic spending and cutthroat shopping

practices?

[bklyncowgirl]

34. Jesus approved of giving.

I believe that Jesus said something about if you wanted to go to heaven you had to sell everything you owned and give the money to the poor.

C'mon Bill O'Reilly and the rest of you Christians, if you follow Jesus then surely you should be doing what the man (actually the Son of Man) told you to do.

We're waiting.

[FreedomAngel82]

46. Jesus also said

to give all you had to the poor, take up your cross and follow him. There's a story of how Jesus met a rich young ruler once. The guy was pretty good and followed his religion and all the concepts Jesus taught very well. He met Jesus and asked what he had to do to get into Heaven. Jesus told him to go and sell everything, take up his cross and follow him. The man went away sorrowful because he had much (he was a rich young ruler). Than there's another story of how Jesus saw an older woman give at a church. She just had one penny but she gave with her heart and soul and Jesus commented that she gave more than a person who gave many coines because of the emotions behind her giving. There are quite a good number of stories like that in the Bible both old and new.

[K8-EEE]

70. Supply Side Jesus

They made up their own Jesus, and he is quite nationalistic and materialistic and clannish and racist and indifferent to the poor and homeless and a lot of other things the Original Jesus was definitely NOT.

[bklyncowgirl]

29. Back in Catholic School we would have considered that a tad sacriligious

Bank in the day, when they said "Keep Christ in Christmas" it was to remind us that it was not about gifts and Christmas trees and Santa. You were supposed to downplay all of that and remember the spiritual meaning of the occaision.

These clowns seem to want to wrap the commercialism in Baby Jesus giftwrap tied with a Three Kings Gold Ribbon.

[amandabeech]

30. I've wrapped a lot of Christmas presents in my day, and purchased

a lot of Christmas wrapping paper, but I have never seen a nativity scene on wrapping paper. I've seen lots of candles, bells, wreaths, trees and ornament, holly, snowflakes & stars, santas and snowmen, but no baby Jesuses. And I'm a lapsed Methodist.

Christmas cards often have a religious theme often including the Madonna and Child or the Nativity Scene on the front and a religious message inside. In most cases, the cards are not ripped to shreds on Christmas morning, but often are displayed somewhere in the house.

[uppityperson]

36. Here's one

Edited to add, I forgot, Happy Z-mas.

[Redstone]

37. Christ, do they whine! Poor, poor, persecuted me!

But I suppose they gotta have SOMETHING to bitch about, so they don't stop and think long enough to realize what desperate excuses for an actual life that they lead.

Redstone

[Voltaire99]

38. "The persecution complex to end all complexes"

Great post, btw. Funny as hell to find out what those peabrains are whining about; I wish them plenty of Jesus-based paper cuts while wrapping.

Now as to this persecution complex...

Surely it comes with the territory. When one's worldview is centrally based on the symbol of a guy brutally executed 2000 years ago, there can be no end to imagined persecution of the believer. Why, even the wrapping paper is against them! Get thee behind me with thy Rudolph and Frosty paper, Satan. ;-)

[K8-EEE]

39. OMG! This FR Thread Has Now Turned FREEP FIGHT!

That there are still people who believe Jews can't become Christians is the height of black irony.

===============

You're purposely distorting what I said. Jews can easily become Christians. Christians can easily become Jews. What they can't do is be BOTH AT THE SAME TIME. Do you understand now?

================

OK I like to think I'm as bright as the next guy, but I fail to see how pointing out that you've been whining, or that tens of thousands of youg non-Jewish Americans giving their very lives to save the Jews from the ovens is antiSemitic.

Clue me(us) in, because I see it as VERY pro-Jewish.
========

How about the guy who suggested I go to PETCO to get my Hannukah decorations? Am I being a tad sensitive on that one? Or the guy who said I should be thankful because you guys saved a SH**LOAD of us from the gas chamber? Yea, I'm not the one who should be regretting posting.

[sandnsea]

49. Well one person got an eye-opener

That's something I guess. Petco for Hannukah? I don't even want to know. Vile creatures.

[K8-EEE]

50. Do You Understand That?

I don't even GET it...Petco for Hannukah shopping, I know that's some kinda vile Freepjoke but not getting it.

My Walmart has alot of CHRISTmas wrapping paper.
Of course, I live in the South where we still say Merry Christmas.

212 posted on 12/11/2005 8:59:21 PM PST by onyx ((Vicksburg, MS) North is a direction. South is a way of life.)

You mean the Walmart that buys 80% of its goods from COMMUNIST China, you know, supporting the place that actually DOES persecute Christians and FORCES women to have abortions. But, I guess as long as you say Merry Christmas and type CHRISTmas, all is forgiven.


BTW, the format on that site SUCKS! I don't know how they follow any logical train of thought.

[Raydawg1234]

51. Baaaah Baaaah Baaaaah.............

Looks like they're enciting the sheep to start a crusade against non Super-Christies. Kinda scary considering that many of these people are armed to the teeth. and they are not shy about talking about it in their forums either:

"I alredy have a bareta, but I was thinking about getting a magnum for Christmas, Any suggestions?"

--------Lots of posts like this, I wounder what kind of Magnum Jesus would have wanted for Christmas.

[Sapphocrat]

57. Aye

One year I went to Wally World to buy our Christmas cards. All of the Christian cards were on the very top shelf! The one that has a sign to 'Please have an associate help you with these items' (paraphrased). I told an associate to bring the whole box down. I think it was placed up there on purpose, though I can't prove it.

Oh GOD, THE HUMANITY! Christian cards on the very top shelf....now Christian short people have to actually find an employee working at Walmart, ooh will the persecution ever end??

Those poor, poor Walmart shoppin' Christians. Yeah it's all a big conspiracy, in fact, if there are any lurking over here, don't shop at Walmart ever again!

[NMMNG]

61. Yeah, they should have the greeter handing them out at the door

I mean, Jeebus is the reason for the season after all. Why should people have to expend effort to find Christmas cards with him on them? :sarcasm:

Lemme see...I can make 'em the White Jesus (the old stand-by)...but then how about a black Jesus. Or a Hispanic Jesus (pronounce Hay-suse) or even better...a woman Jesus or a gay Jesus. Now everyone assumes he looks white, male and middle-aged...but that's also a marketing trick. Ya think people would pay attention to a 83 year old Gay Hispanic Woman with real curly hair?

[Left Is Write]

73. "The stuff we used to take for granted"?

In forty Christmases, I have never seen Baby Jesus or Three Wise Men wrapping paper.

People who are so upset about their wrapping paper choices should wrap gifts in white paper they can decorate themselves in whatever way they like.

Edited to add: If I had, in fact, seen Baby Jesus or Three Wise Men wrapping paper, I might have found it a little disturbing to see those images so "commercialized."

75. I've Heard "Happy Holidays" All My Life (45 YEARS!!)

That was 1942 - and Bing Crosby was blatantly singing "Happy Holidays"! Shame on him.

They act as if they aren't allowed to say "Merry Christmas" themselves!
