Thread: Poe's Law

KITTY!!!

Hey, a kitty.

Sandform, I just had a major blast trying this trick. Poe's Law is very much a reality, and it goes way further than I thought. Check out this dialogue I had on You Tube under an Edward Current video, which interestingly is satirical by the way. Poe's Law applied to everybody who responded, on both sides. I am Thimoneus.

What atheists need to understand is that the existence of something proves that somebody consciously created it. Have you ever heard of a coke can? You also can't tell me how a fish can give birth to a human. Oh, excuse me... how an amoeba can give birth to a human. The Bible, on the other hand, has been proven. Who wants to argue that Bethlehem and Jerusalem don't exist? You can't argue with what the Bible says. But I guess planets can just form out of thin air. Duh, okay.

please attempt to learn something before you display your ignorance. the only thing about the bible that has been proven is that it is complete nonsense, written by ignorant bronze age misogynists who didnt have the slightest inkling as to how the natural world works. all they had to explain it were myths and boogeymen. after you grow a brain, you too may be able to distinguish fact from fantasy, until then, have fun in fantasy land.

So Jerusalem and Bethlehem don't exist and the Bible is wrong, and your mother is an amoeba? Or did you just pop out of thin air like the planets? I think you are stumped. Checkmate.

lol, another willfull display of ignorance. im not the one who needs to proove anything, medina exists on the map, does that prove islam is the one true religion? your creation "theory" is the one that says the planets were puffed into existance out of thin air, lol. the planets took billions of years to form. 6 days is alot more like puffed than 14 billion years.

thimoneus (57 minutes ago)

The difference is that Islam is not the true word of The Lord Jesus Christ. Christians, the only real children of our Lord (Praise his holy name! Amen!), believe/know that the planets did not come out of thin air. They were created by God. But you think things don't have to have a cause. Your belief requires about a trillion times more faith than mine.

once again, logic eludes you. goodbye and fairwell. i hope for your sake you remain in your blissfull ignorance. try not to think very hard, or very often, you may become frightened.

so your an atheist? Atheists are mean ppl =[ every atheist I know is mean to me and aren't modest and brag about stuff, and believe in no hope in life because no-one with great power will help them, then they'll have children that will probably be emo. I wonder why when atheism came to mind. Ppl were more depressed and angry and have no hope and is gonna die soon because of atheism. Ever heard of evil Christians?

thimoneus (36 minutes ago)

Atheists are terrible people. Most of them like to hurt animals and scare children. But, yeah, what mean Christians are there? Christians are good people who are concerned with everybody being kind to one another and not being greedy.

new york city exists but does spider-man?

Can Spiderman move mountains and create universes?

I even added in things that are seemingly OBVIOUS (the ending oh yeah) to make sure it could not be misrepresented as a non parody, but we shall see. I am going to respond to one of the responders to see if I can actually make them think it is true while still being obvious parody in hindsight.

BTW there is no such thing as Genesis 3:25 hehe.


I just made this and posted it on youtube so far I've gotten this
"Hilarious"
"Is this parody? Please tell me it is..."

To be fair your further exploits lead them on a bit, but it is pretty Fing hilarious. But your statements are so ludicrous if they know of Poe's Law I would expect them to call on it hehe.

I'm hoping someone will try to look up Gen 3:25 the one I said atheists don't comprehend because they are too stupid. Did you like the end? hehe.

Yeah, that ending is likely to raise an eyebrow and cause a tiny disturbance in the Poe's Law tendency or else make your presentation seem even more fundamentalist crazy.

You don't know how hard that made me laugh. LOL.

But in all seriousness Poe's Law does say no matter "how" crazy...

I put in all kinds of stupid stuff in there...Hehe. Like "I can't see with my glasses on" "Gen 3:25"

"Jews"

Lol that is cute hehe. But this kind of trolling gives everyone a crack up at the end. Poe's Law trolling is a victimless crime. From your cracking of knuckles seems like you're in? hehe.

Sandform, I just read your video's comments. Somebody asked you if the video is a parody, and you said, "God's word is not a parody."

You and I should get into a fake arguement over something minisculely different in our seperate religious sect...

I love how you come off sounding country.

Btw did I smile too much? I think it gave it away. Or made me look smug.

That's a great idea. We should act all excited about agreeing for a little while and then get into a major battle over something very trivial, like when a cracker is considered blessed or something.

Your smiles just made it look like you are smug about not going to Hell.

That is awesome hehe.

I have been playing the game in several You Tube threads. Two people suggested that I might be joking, and amazingly one person finally flat out said that I was making use of Poe's Law. I couldn't believe it. My conclusion is that Poe's Law is very real, but at times there is a tiny bit of distinguishability between the serious and the satire. Generally, it is close to impossible to tell a difference. There are so many things that can easily go either way. Edward Current's videos consistently have people arguing with them as if they are for real, and the peanut butter and banana videos consistently have people thinking they are jokes. Poe's Law is a very interesting phenomenon. I feel like I learned something big by learning about it.

"Poe's Law" is a Christian theological principle that states: "Elements of the Gospel speak to different levels of spiritual concern in different cultures at different times." It is taught to modern evangelists as a way to better target the message of the Gospel to different audiences for maximum salvific efficacy. The law was named after theologian Dr. Harry Lee Poe, a cousin of Edgar Allan Poe, who promoted the concept in his book "The Gospel and Its Meaning: A Theology for Evangelism and Church Growth."

According to Poe's Law, we should emphasize the radical aspect of Jesus in order to appeal to today's spirited youths.

I love it...

That is definition 2. We are working with definition 1.

1. Poe's Law 848 up, 34 down
Similar to Murphy's Law, Poe's Law concerns internet debates, particularly regarding religion or politics.

"Without a winking smiley or other blatant display of humor, it is impossible to create a parody of Fundamentalism that SOMEONE won't mistake for the real thing."

In other words, No matter how bizzare, outrageous, or just plain idiotic a parody of a Fundamentalist may seem, there will always be someone who cannot tell that it is a parody, having seen similar REAL ideas from real religious/political Fundamentalists.

God told me he does not exist, so he can't be real. See how easy it is to make empty claims regarding what God wants?

"'Do you believe in god?'

'No'

'Boom, dead. Do you believe in god?'

'Yes'

'...Do you believe in my god?'

'No'

'Boom, dead. My god has a bigger dick than your god.'"

Please, keep your religion to yourself, you just come off as an arrogant prick.

Best one so far...

sandform,
1. Gay men (who are not bisexual) do not naturally sleep with women, so Leviticus 18:22 does not apply.
2. If pedophiles are atheists, how do you explain pedophile priests?
3. The only reason you religious types fear gay people is that you don't want to admit the truth that they are natural (based on any mainstream scientific book or group) and created by God (assuming *lol* your creationist logic is sound), despite how you interpret what your bible (a corrupted mistranslation) says.

Yo Yo
Nigga stop trying to preach how gays and athiest and all them are going to hell, seriously, just shut the fuck up you ignorant little prick. Just because you can't accept that they are natural, you rely to your bible for "answers". Seriously, think outside the box a little and lay of the book of lies for a few days and think, don't talk to your god, don't read the bible, just fucking meditate and reach inside your mind and open it up. If you really take the time to think for yourself and not fear your god or the bible, you truely realize they are natural. You rely on your little book of lies for answers, when really if you wern't so close minded and a fucking sheep to your religion, then maybe you could figure it the fuck out.

oo P.S. jesus sucks my dick 24/7

I don't see what is so interesting about Poe's law.

If you imitate something, (be it in an exagerated, satirical form), why would you be surprised if someone interprets you as genuine?

Because it is making a point about how it is hard to tell the difference between a fundamentalist and a fake fundamentalist because the real fundamentalist claims are SOOOO out there that no matter how crazy you make it someone will believe it if you are parodying it.
