Re: Lego – The Building Block of Satan!

...And he's b-b-b-b-b-banned. No surprise there, saw that coming 18 posts ago.

Banning someone for disagreeing... That sounds a lot like when a certain savior was "banned" for disagreeing about the religion he was founding...

You don't know what he was banned for. He might have been posting pornography or illegal links or spam that was deleted. You're making assumptions here and making an ass out of yourself. (Not that you haven't done that, already).

Alright.

Firstly I must say that I was linked here from a different website and that my name in no way indicates that I am a devil worshipper or anything like that. In common parlance, a devil's advocate is someone who takes a position, sometimes one he or she disagrees with, for the sake of argument. In other words I am here to offer the flip side of the coin and hopefully you will be open minded enough to consider the possibility that you could be wrong.

As I said previously, I was linked here from another site who thought that the whole idea of this conversation was absolutely silly. I decided I would read for my own and judge for myself the opinions of both sides.

Let me start by saying first that yes, several of the images that were depicted were photoshopped (or "Shooped" as many denizens of various corners of the internet call it). They were redesigned using image altering software with the intention of being offensive or eye catching. It's not hard and can be done in a few minutes. As you will see by looking at the images, none of them have a Lego Company Trademark or logo.

They were created images. This can be checked simply by looking at a list of all the lego toys that have been made available.

So it's not a gigantic dark conspiracy by the Lego toy manufacturers to subtly get inside your child's mind and have them slaughtering goats on your sofa while chanting in latin backwards.

I feel silly that I even have to say that.

The only thing I really see here is that you are looking for things to get enraged at in the name of God. If God doesn't like the lego company, I'm sure god can deal with it. But you aren't going to hurt their bottom line with a boycott of just yourselves, and you're only going to make yourselves look even more ridiculous and a lot less credible when you decide that subarus and legos were designed by the dark lord satan to infect the world with safe cars and children's toys.

All I'm asking is take a step back from this, dial down the rhetoric and the extremist christianity and think about a few things. Do you you honestly think you'll be any better at saving souls if the rest of the world see's something like this and thinks you're crazy? Does God really think that you spending your time fighting the lego company of all groups is the best use of the time he gave you on this planet?

While not a believer myself, I respect those who do. It's not my place to cast judgement (Let he who is without sin cast the first stone), but I see a whole lot of judgement and saber rattling here with very little proof of anything at all. As I said, several of those photos were photoshopped, and as far as the twin towers go, how can you hold lego responsible for the things that people build with them. If the lego company sold a kit and gave you instructions on how to recreate 9/11 then maybe. But they didn't and they don't. That was an art project by a student unrelated. The gay sex thing was also the same way. Not a kit and not indended by lego. The Satan was created by somebody else and as a previous poster pointed out, the "Whore" was created in 3D Studio Max. You've been duped.

If you type in any offensive subject and then add something fairly benign to it in google images, you're going to find some crazy stuff. That's the internet.

Googling "Terrorist Lego" as the original poster did is of course going to find some crazy things. People on the internet change stuff, make tasteless jokes and often times create very offensive things. But that's the nature of the world at large.

That would be like walking into a large video rental outlet and asking for Hardcore Porn and then being shocked and appalled when they have it.

I don't think this is going to make any difference to the world, for your children, against the lego company, or for you. It seems like a waste of time to me.

So you don't like the extremist "Towel Heads" (Don't even get me started on that one), Don't be extremist christians. It's not going to help your cause at all.

And on a different subject, I see how you're against "Retardeds" but I'm sure you're also against abortion. That makes no sense to me at all. If that's how they're supposed to be according to God, then who are you to judge? And if you think they are an abomination, why not kill them in the womb when many different genetic disorders can be detected?

I don't know. None of this seems very christian to me, and seems to be teetering over the edge of overzealous extremist religion. That never works out well. The Crusades and The Dark Ages were such great times for everybody right?

Go back to 7chan.




Anyway, for the rest of you, who the hell do you think you are to just outright say "you're wrong," and expect it to be the truth? You need evidence to back up your claims, and you have none. This bullshit would not stand in a court of law, and you're being just a tad psycho here. That "whore" lego was built via a 3D editing program, or perhaps constructed of many different parts. The body looks like that of a bat man villain's, perhaps it was taken from there? Had you ever thought of that? As well, you're accusing the lego company of being evil. So there's a conspiracy within the company to make people worship Satan or something with tiny plastic toys? And I'll have you know they're called "Lego" because you are meant to "play god," or be the creator of their lives. So in a way it is a positive thing.

You're fucking idiotic for hating mentally handicapped people, as I guarantee you that God doesn't approve of that.

I have had legos in my family for years. My baby brother plays with them. And we're a good Christian family. But you people give us a bad name. You, in your insanity and supposed "good intentions" and belief that you know what god wants for us is driving more and more people to Atheism every single day. Now I know I'm gonna get flamed for this, but I hope that I've taught at least one person here today that they've been acting silly and that they need to stop while they're ahead.

As a matter of fact, I did read his posts, and all they were doing was disagreeing with you in what I first thought was intelligent discussion.

Okay. But keep in mind that you and I are saying essentially the same thing.

You can't see the posts that he made that got him banned because they were deleted. Try it yourself and see what happens.

The Bible has all the Truth that we need. If you contradict the Bible, then you ARE wrong. Jesus is the corner stone upon which we build, not some Satanic Legos. Read:

Eph. chapter 2:

19 Now therefore ye are no more strangers and foreigners, but fellowcitizens with the saints, and of the household of God;
20 And are built upon the foundation of the apostles and prophets, Jesus Christ himself being the chief CORNER STONE;
21 In whom all the building fitly framed together groweth unto an holy temple in the Lord:
22 In whom ye also are builded together for an habitation of God through the Spirit.

I Peter chapter 2:

4 To whom coming, as unto a living stone, disallowed indeed of men, but chosen of God, and precious,
5 Ye also, as lively stones, are built up a spiritual house, an holy priesthood, to offer up spiritual sacrifices, acceptable to God by Jesus Christ.
6 Wherefore also it is contained in the scripture, Behold, I lay in Sion a chief CORNER STONE, elect, precious: and he that believeth on him shall not be confounded.

If we wish our children to build in a Godly way, then there are always Lincoln Logs. They are made of pure wood given to us from God (and not from plastic made by secular human technology) and they are named after a Godly American president and made by an American company. There is no need to support a heathen corrupted nation like Denmark by purchasing their unholy products and polluting our child with the foul designs.

No, post some disgusting porn and see how fast your posts get deleted and how fast you get banned. Your friends will think that you were banned for disagreeing, but you will know otherwise.

So he posted disgusting "disgusting porn" and got banned for it?

Gods condemns liars. Show me proof of what he did and I'll believe you. Other than that, I don't think you're telling the truth.

Thousands have been banned for doing the same from virtually every forum on the internet. Why would we be different?

Because most forums don't look down on new users simply because they are not a fundamentalist as you people.

Do you doubt that the a$$holes of the world don't come here to post the most disgusting things to try to get a rise out of us, or that most forums are insular and not accepting to newbs who register just to argue or be trolls?
