 "The things that you say, you know we're going to find out about 'em anyway," sings a man in this blurry cell phone clip.

Church choir: 'Keep yo business off of Facebook'By Brandon Griggs, CNN (CNN) - How bad is the problem of oversharing online? People are now singing about it in church. A video that's been gaining buzz online in recent days shows worshipers at an unidentified church singing a gospel-styled tune with the apparent title of "Keep Yo Business Off of Facebook." In the blurry two-minute clip, shot with a cell phone, churchgoers sway and clap while a man and woman sing about the pitfalls of sharing not-safe-for-church behavior. "Sundays you act like a saint, but your Facebook posts say you ain't," the man sings. The video was posted online in July but has only become widely noticed in recent days after being shared, of all places, on Facebook. The origin of the video and location of the church has so far remained a mystery. |

God is dead.
Maybe and maybe not.... Their treed family generations live ever on inside their buildings which are our bodies on a atomized scale so small we will never truthfully now with much certainty their whereabouts...
Blah blah blah blah...care to try to form a coherent statement??
TP....
Baby needs a burping...
Do you? Has Mommy not come home yet???
My mother is dead you ingrate,,,
Did I say something about your Mom here? And exactly how would anyone know such a fact, unless you have stated so before?
LL what made you come up with this hypothesis.
If god was alive, he would have created a better world. We are evidence of the non-existence of god.
Either that or an uncaring one. There's no reason our universe could not be some "virtual particle" within some larger cosmology or some other incomprehensible geometry. We are a byproduct of some larger process, but if a single intelligence is involved, he/she/it/dlihjiwo/whatever, doesn't give one ripe fvck about humanity.
I was hiking in the mountains last weekend and a bush burst into flames but it was not consumed. A voice came out of the bush and said "there is no god and religion is foolishness". I shrugged my shoulders and thought "OK ... I suppose a voice from a burning bush can't be wrong." So take note everyone. cheers!
If your bush is burning, perhaps some penicillin is in order.
🙂
Did the new fire fighting drones help?
what about a burning shrubbery?
Only if they came from the Knights Who Say Nii.
LOL... when I was studying Latin – they often had us translate biblical passages, but the passages were geared toward the vocab we had already learned. I'll never forget we did Moses and burning bush, only didn't know the word for burning yet, so they used the word for "hot" instead.... "...and so Moses knelt before the hot bush and heard the word of god." Still makes me chuckle to this day...
ALL religions are cults, including christianity.
what is the difference between a cult and a religion?
one is accepted by society, one is not - that's it.
cults/religions are bad for you. they teach you to turn off your cognitive thinking and obey. you don't need religion to be a good person, to help your brothers and sisters. but if you want a philosophy to follow, try Humanism - much superior to any religion. it's based on reason and compassion. no orders to kill g.ays or any of the other horrible commands found in the bible. no invisible sky fairies drowning an entire planet of people. no messages of women being subservient to men.
modern ethics > biblical morals

Uh oh. Nobody tore Hitler apart. Oh no!
Hitler is irrelevant, and he tore himself apart. Do keep up; it's not 1945 anymore.
Do you have a point, or are you just praising your master Hitler?
I don't think have sects of deluded people is bad. I think having sex with deluded people is bad.
Making fun of Christians is like baseball.
I am waiting.....
it's like T-ball, hard not to hit a home run.
Question:
Is there anything wrong with being a kind, giving Christian salt of the Earth and have no interest in politics or war. People that just want to give back and feel loved.
Not in the US of Christ-A...a.k.a. GOP-land
Ever think they might be more comfortable in Putin's Russia?
Run of the mouth hharri, sadly I am quite unable to understand your posts. Not sure if the problem is with you or me.
We've been worried about you, Apple. Akira and all...you're just not yourself these days...
Run of the mouth hharri, for what it is worth, things are quite different. Can't speak for Akira though.
Akira is doing generally groovy.
Sorry to hear that...missed you while you were gone for that stint...wish you well, though
Doing fine now my friend. No worries. Hope you are the same.
Thanks, Apple...take care. Have a great day.
Glad to hear that, Apple.

Did anyone read this? Can you fill me in?
I did Apple. It was just one of those stupid blogs. Some good sex though.
So, how did we get here? Most people long to know. Did we just happen by this ball of spinning blue and white orb that circles around a stars 93,000,000 miles away? Surely it took no gods to put us here! We know better than that. Most things we observe just appear and disappear from nothing, don't they?
Oh yes, don't forget. If you believe in gods you have to be deluded. By definition, according to the scholars posting here. In fact, one way to assess the validity of the statements made by the athies is to note how they never mischaracterize anything or anyone. They have no biases. No emotions. No faults. They see everything accurately and oh yes, they love their enemies.
Some of us just don't like being lied to, hhari. And we oppose the people who tell lies. But then, you believe those lies, don't you? You bought it when you were told that there is eternal punishment that you can only escape by believing in something entirely on faith. You hope for eternal rewards too. And there's no reason to think there is anything eternal about you.
Tom, we hear things every day that we disagree with, usually many times each day. I understand that you disagree with those who believe in God, but does that really harm you, at least any more than a political argument with which you disagree? Yet many people get extremely exercised about what others say about their belief in God and what they believe the Bible teaches. If you don't believe it, a claim that there exists eternal punishment and/or eternal reward should run right off your back. I did not see it in your post, but it is amazing how many people get angry and start hurling insults at those who believe differently than they do. That suggests some wavering in their own faith or lack of it.
Or they are extremely frustrated because they've spent a lifetime trying to find out what is actually real and are then told by chistians (who may or may not have even read their own bible) they just weren't doing it right...
"G to the T

lol
just like you, observer, the big baby, to blame all your misery on others
That was lovely hharri. Weird as fuck, but lovely.
Tough guy
...still waiting for Xstians to "love your enemies"...2000 years...still waiting
I love you
I forgot. You are god. You know everything. Typical atthy. You show us all the way
I am an ignorant simple minded troll,,,,,,,,,,,, IGNORE ME!
Considering the ubiquity of hharri's posts, I'd say he's just about to lose his faith...the cognitive disonance is just too much.
I know. I have an idea. Let's play find fault with xtians! Wouldn't that be a nice change?
So I guess what they are saying is behave however you want, but don't put in on Facebook because members of your church may find out. I guess appearances are more important than behavior.
Of course. What do you expect? Truth be known, reborners never behave properly out of pure motives. That's how you know they are hypocrites. If they lie, cheat, steal, manipulate, con, embezzle, muer and rae and love jèeeeeeebus, you know they are Christians!
They are every inch as pious and holy as you.
I love you talmud
it's funny, but TRUE. "Sundays you act like a saint, but your Facebook posts say you ain't," I hope they include in their song CNN BB
best keep the kids away from them 'puters. the intranets is evil!
as an atheist, i am proud none of our faith is a hypocrite.
what faith?
new Christian song:
keep your believers off the internet
they might learn science and facts
they'll leave this foolishness in their droves
and we'll never see them back
we have to keep them in the bubble
feed them more fantasy on the double
soooo ... keep your believers off the internet
or they might learn science and facts!
lol!
A+
🎵 🎵 On Monday I am happy, on Tuesday full of joy
Wednesday I've got the faith the devil can't destroy
On Thursday and Friday walking in the light
Saturday I've got the victory and Sunday's always bright
I fell in love with Jesus and he fell in love with me
That's the very reason I've got the victory
I'm happy when it's raining, I'm happy when it shines
I'm happy now with Jesus, I'm happy all the time
Don't ever leave me, Jesus. I couldn't stand to see you go.
My heart would simply snap, my Lord, if you walked on out that door.
I promise I'll be good to you, and keep you warm at night.
Jesus, Jesus, Jesus, why don't we just... shut off the lights.
– Faith +1
OP is referring to 'agape'
How's this then:
Tell me; where is the love?
In a careless creation
When there’s no “above”
There’s no justice
Just a cause and a cure
And a bounty of suffering
It seems we all endure
And what I’m frightened of
Is that they call it “God’s love”
– Dr. Greg Graffin
Tell me; where is the love?
- in God
In a careless creation
–There is nothing careless about creation
When there’s no “above”
–You can't be so sure about that
There’s no justice
–If there's no justice then why do we have judicial systems
Just a cause and a cure
And a bounty of suffering
It seems we all endure
–How can you know what happiness is if you know not what sadness is?
And what I’m frightened of
Is that they call it “God’s love
–There is nothing frightening about God's love if you have experienced His love.
I want to get down on my knees and start pleasing Jesus
I want to feel his salvation all over my face.
-Faith +1
Another from Dr. Graffin:
The scientist purported that there aint no purpose
And the theologian told me that it's all been designed
And Im trying to maintain objectivity
The world wont illuminate what really matters
And Im an imperfect moral meaning extractor
Processing the complexity
Right or wrong,
The main criterion is what you do and not what you say
The roads you take, the friends you make and those you throw away
The method is a simple synthesis of the past and present state
You never lose if the path you choose is one you can easily navigate
– "Shattered Faith" –
"–If there's no justice then why do we have judicial systems"
Is that you Miss 2007 Miss South Carolina?
I fell in love with Jesus and he fell in love with me
Did you two lovebirds meet on ChristianMingle.com?
evangelize evangelize, keep on lying and you get a prize!
In other words, if you're going to be a religious hypocrite, don't broadcast it over the internet.
Ebonics in church...not so much.
Isn't "business" a euphemism for penis? Maybe this is Carlos Dangers church...
'Keep yo business off of Facebook' or at least, "Keep yo junk off o' Twitter" would be good advice for señor Danger, or anyone for that matter.
You know when I'm down to my socks it's time for business that's why they call it business socks.
Yes,
And it's posted in the "Tech" column!
meh...
Yes. 'meh...'
