f*****g stupid. f*****g stupid, and everyone knows it.

First off, I don't know if you're being sarcastic, or actually believe these Christian apologetics pictures. I used to be as ignorant as to like at pictures like these, and ergo increase my faith in God, Jesus, "love," etc.

f*****g BS. This is as stupid as those radical conspiracies saying that aliens will be landing in our cornfields and demanding that we worship them on March 19, 2011 at 12:00 P.M.

The government will no time soon be forcing us to have chips installed into our hands, foreheads, etc.

Like I said, I don't know what your intentions are by posting this, but that picture made me grind my teeth (no pun intended) when I looked at it.

All I see is people with 6's on their heads. Am I not getting something? I mean, I know that 666 is a significant number but what is being said? That families belong to Satan? I dunno, I need a diagram.

It's a missionary site trying to get you to accept Jesus as your savior (basically, convert to Christianity if you haven't aleady done so). It's sites and messages like these that actually turned me away from Christianity.

I'm totally clueless too.

I assumed it was a slam on a certain group of Christians. Who knows!?

Well folks, somethings ignoring a situation is healthy. I suggest we all do so.

666 is the number of the beast put in the revlations of the bible or some BS that will never happen.

I guess the way picture struck me is that the child is looking at the beast as if he is literally trying to get into his arms as if it was his mother. I guess it shocked me in a way that children are known to be able to tell between good and bad people. So one would expect a child to despise 666. So in a sense what the picture says is taht 666 is so deceptive, that even little children would like it. And yet, the kid's face still looks totally innocent and he doesn't look evil at all ... And at the same time this very innocence betrays underlying evil because it only implies that he in fact LIKES the devil as opposed to adults who would only try to PLEASE him ... So all these mixed messages shock me in some ways.

It isn't a slam. This picture is actually used in a certain track that is explaining what is supposed to happen in Revelation in cartoons. Here is a track and you will find that same picture at the top of it

According to book of Revelation during the last 7 years before the end of the world there will be a governor who will claim to be divine and will ask people to worship him. Some people believe he will pose to be christ while others say he is just a new age figure. Either way, part of his worship will be putting his mark on right hand or forehead. And his mark will be 666. Christians are not supposed to put that mark because worshipping anything other than true god is idolatry. However, antichrist will try to force them to worhsip him anyway, so he will establish various sanctions against those that refuse his mark. At first no one will be allowed to buy or sell unless they have a mark, and later on he will take it further by beheading people for not taking the mark. However, if you do take the mark, that is unforgiveable sin. Basically it is no turnign back point and once you ahve a mark you are hell-bound no matter what. Christians are supposed to prove their loyalty to true Jesus by refusing the mark at the cost of martydrome. On the other hand, all non-christians will end up taking the mark, one way or the other.

So to answer your question, they were born as ordinary people, but then they CHOOSE to follow devil. Or to be more precise they CHOSE to follow a man who is endwelled by the devil.

I was quite amazed to see some of these cartoons, because I remember being give them to read when I was a young not-too-dangerous hooligan, with nothing better to do than hang about in a coffee bar run by a born again christian cult. Sorry......I am being deliberately antagonistic. :evil:

I have known many sincere christians, and I have no doubt that most of them mean well, and try to do good in the world. But this stuff is emotional pornography. It is an attempt to convert by fear. This is the dark side of christian fundamentalism.

Ok, I still don't see this as particularly post worthy though. There is nothing to really debate or add to this I don't think. It just seems like an odd picture. Also putting a bunch of 6's on your forehead looks silly, who in their right minds would do that? I mean, Satan could come up with a better sign I think. If I were Satan I would make my forehead sign totally AWESOME!! ! I mean, people would join my unholy crusade just to put the really cool signs on their foreheads. 6 is a stupid digit to say the very least, I like 9 better or maybe 0 or 1 or something. Oh well, I am not Satan so it isn't my business but I still think that Satan needs to work on his evil marketing skills.

What struck my attention is the child. Children are known to tell what is good for them, just like animals are. Because they haven't been corrupted by all the bad stuff adults do. You will hardly see any child liking coffeine or other things that aren't good for you.

So now picture a child who was given a poisen taht looks like milk. So imagine him trully craving it like it is his own mother's milk and it is ... poison! Isn't it shocking?

Well in this photo the child craves the spiritual poison like his own mother's milk. His FACIAL EXPRESSION is what shocked me. If he looked totally evil, I might not have posted it. But look at the way he looks at antichrist's face. No it isn't lust. It is innocent child wanting milk!

Plus he looks at antichrist the way he would look at his own mommy and daddy. If you recall that kids typically don't feel comfortable around strangers, you will know what i am talking about.

All it is is a poor quality drawing by some religious people. It's not like it is some amazing painting or masterpiece. The child is not real, and there is no deeper meaning.
