He'll be like the milkman, and the children will follow the truck down the street, laughing and frolicking. Can only imagine the big doll on top of that truck.

Even still, how do they expect to be able to find the employers of people when all they have is a liscence plate, and possibly a vague physical description? Surely you need at least a name, address, and reason to do a background check on someone.

Perhaps it is just a bluff designed to scare away the more timid porn buyers.

That's my guess. What's the source for this report, anyways?

And imagine that truck making the rounds right after the ice cream man does - Watch the parents come out...

I think i know why they do this,they just want to show us that we don`t need to walk or drive miles to get porn,like them we should have it delivered to our door in brown paper bags.

You're assuming that everyone looks at porn now. Surprise surprise, some of us take our faith seriously.

Now, I do not support this action. They're just making themselves look stupid, and doing a fine job of it. I personally think that this sort of thing is contrary to what Christians should do. But there's no need for extra defamation of character from you. There's plenty enough for you to laugh at already.

this is the kind of thing that made me stop claiming to be a Christian(not wanting to be associated with people like that) before i actually started thinking for myself about religion.

I'm no longer a Christian in any sense of the word, not quite an atheist tho.

I have nothing against Christians, untill they start doing things like this, and then it doesn't extend to the entire religion just the idiots doing this stupid shit and making the rest look bad.

the thing with some Christains pulling shit like "Operation Daniel" is it makes ALL Christains look bad. Most people don't make the distinction between fanatics like that and the rest of the religion(as far as people i know anyway)

If I saw someone like that, I would rent twice as much porn, show him, and tell him that his self-righteous bullshit inspired me to do so.

Yeah, but it would be a pretty effective tactic if they mailed your boss the information, at least in certain parts of the United States. Although the certainly couldn't legitamately fire you, there are always ways that a boss can get rid of one of his employees if he is determined enough. For some employers, purchasing porn is all the reason they need.

I walk up to a store to buy some quality porn...

Fundie: You're buying pornography. That's immoral

Me: Go f**k yourself

Fundie: I'm going to write down your license plate number and let your boss know that you're an obscene pervert for buying pornography.

Me: Go ahead. My boss is the one who told me about this place.

And of course you can sue for unfair dismissal, so long as you have your place of work written on your liscence plate. Not only is a bad idea and ineffective tactic, its also stunningly poorly thought out.

True, I'd love to see the expressions on their faces when someone steps off a bus and into the porno shop

The Problem: Evil Fundies trying to stop you from getting Porn

Solution: Deliver porn to everyone's house, that way you can't be embarassed because everyone's getting it!

Wicked Pilot · Post by **Wicked Pilot** » 2003-12-31 02:33pm

I was just thinking, I'd buy a bunch of really cheap porn, and when the protestors are not looking I'd slip it into their vehicles. You know how some people keep their windows cracked if it's hot outside. Let's just say their wives might find it hard rationalize away the gay porno found in the back seat of their husband's car.

According to the US Congress report on the subject, pornographic videos are a seventy billion dollar a year business in the US. I doubt that this is all due to the 5% of the population that is openly atheist. Most Christian men rent porn too.

If you're doing it using work computers a lot of businesses will get pretty pissed at you (which is also unfair since they generally don't mind if you're surfing CNN's website), but even a typical business dominated by Christians is not going to be so unreasonable as to fire you because you rented blue movies on the weekend and watched them at home. I imagine there are some businesses like that, but $70 Billion is a number which suggests that the anti-porn tendencies of American Christians are somewhat exaggerated.

There are Christians, and then there are fundies. There's a difference.

Have a very nice day.

Pitting Christianity against biology is not a fair fight.

[STUPID FUNDIE]Oh! But god created biology 6 000 years ago- and not just any god, the Christian god! That means al the wicked prono buyers are just denying their love for god![/FUNDIE]

These people need to grow brainstems, before the stupidity of their plot comes back to destroy them. I'd love to see the faces at the police station, "You want to run a background check on someone's liscence plate because he was buying legal, adult porn from a registered video vendor?"

It does make us all look bad. It angers me when I'm associated with that lot. The difference between your case and mine is the way we handled it. Rather than hide my faith, I make certain that everybody knows I'm a Christian, and then proceed to not engage in fundie behavior. It usually doesn't take too long for people to figure out that I'm not a raving Jack Chick follower, and then I'm left alone. I hope to make people think better of Christianity through example, but it takes a lot of example to counteract the damage that the fundies are constantly doing. :exasperated: (We really need a smiley for that.)

Trying to fix the dammage created by the fundies is like trying to keep a submarine with screen doors from sinking.

I don't hide my faith i just no longer have any faith in the Christian God.(life experiences have taught me not to have faith in very many things, be it God or other people).

it's a good thing not to hide ones faith if for no other reason then people know where they stand with you

DarthDavid: I know, but I have to try. I will not yield to them just because the task is difficult.

LadyAmanda: I referred to the part where you said you had started to hide your Christianity before giving it up. I got the part where you said you had left the Church. Sorry for any confusion.

actually i didn't hide my faith at that time either i just didn't claim to be a christian i'd talk to anyone who wanted to hear it about what i believed. i never "hid" my faith when i still had it.

Man, if they think that I don't have the freedom to enjoy watching tits, then I think they should not have the freedom from being punched in the face by me. That would really piss me off.

Post by **The Yosemite Bear** » 2004-01-01 09:02am

yeah, I remember my senior year in high school. they tried something like that. And then my whole social science class walks in. Why? it was the only store in town that carried Pravda, and half a dozen other foriegn newspapers needed for a class assignment. so us 18 year olds went into the store to buy Commie pamphelts and got pelted with chick tracks. 9really funny as the porno store had all the chick tracks next to the tiajana bibles0
