I'm glad people recognize it as a troll article. It makes me shudder to think some people would actually believe we are like that...

Five years ago, I would probably have been fooled.

@Blue Not all. Some. Some Christians ARE crazy.

Some normal people ARE crazy.

Certain perople from EVERY walk of life are crazy.

I take your point though

I saw a comic a while back where Fluttershy transforms from her usual meek self into a terrifying brute and tells Angel (using some very profane language) that she'll tear him a new one if he doesn't finish his %#@*^$# carrot.

Well, it MIGHT be real, is all I'm saying. I checked some of the other articles on the blog, and most of them are just as offensive. I honestly hope this person is just a troll, but I'm a little skeptical.

Many Christians* don't know their faith particularly well, just like many people don't know politics well, yet both groups can base their arguments off their beliefs and 'knowledge' of both to come to wildly irrational conclusions. Thus, while I have not read the article, I am not sure you can so easily dismiss it as a troll.

On a more pony note, I do find myself liking RD less as time goes on. I think I like Twilight Sparkle the most, if we're going to go on a more positive note kind of thing.

@ Bluspade thirded

I am a christian too. This isnt the first fake christian blog I've found. Even if he was a "christian" he has missed the entire point of christianity that is love.

You should read it. Among other things, it pretty much confirms that Rainbow Dash is GOD.

^ Eh, the griping about Fluttershy irks me a little. She didn't want to come in the first place.

Troll or not, people who think that way give the rest of us religious people a bad name and give jackasses like Chris Dawkins ammo for their crusades of hatred.

Fucking idiots. I hate them all so much.

Dash gets a bad rap, I think. She's definitely the most outwardly abrasive of the ponies (depending on your stance on Pinkie, of course), but none of them are bad people.

Can you think inside the chimney?

@Fallen: Fourthed, and this pretty much summed it up. Given the The man himself gave "Love God and Love your neighbors" as the two greatest commandments, it really annoys me when people call themselves "Christians" and totally fail to even make an attempt at following that.

Anyway, I vote we drop the whole religious discussion now, because it rarely if ever turns out well when discussed on the internet.

But yeah, the vast majority of Christians have no problem with the concept of fiction; it's just that the crazy ones get all the press.

Honestly I thought Fluttershy was behaving the worst in that episode. Her friends were all risking their lives and she wasn't willing to even try to help. she made up for it in the end of course.

I think he's also supposed to be a parody of the super-conservative Republicans.

Meh, whatever. That kind of "humor" isn't my cup of cider.

^^^^^ RD is unlikely to earn any serious dislike from me. Again, it's essentially a kid's show, she's not going to pull anything that would bug me more than what she's doing now and may make up for it by amusing me later.

^^ True, Fluttershy isn't earning any points with me either this episode. She isn't losing any either, though.

Maybe 'Read it and Weep' will develop RD a little?
