    Adopt-A-Meme

    All over the Internets are things called "memes". While it's defined as "a unit of cultural transmission", it usually really means "insipid phrase or image used to mock God or Christians".

    You can visit http://memegenerator.net/Tier/God for some examples of how memes degenerate into something suitable for /b/, or for lining one's birdcage.

    I suggest we adopt them, and use them for God's Work.

    For example, Stephen Colbert has turned Senator John Kyl's "not intended to be a factual statement" into a meme, even using it as a hashtag on Twitter. He tweets things like, "John Kyl gave birth to a five-pound hedgehog today. #notintendedtobeafactualstatement"

    Why can't we use this ourselves?

    "God loves homosexuals and will let them enter Heaven. #notintendedtobeafactualstatement"

    And those other memes, why can't we use those?
    Bible boring? Nonsense!

      Re: Adopt-A-Meme

      It is bad enough that the idiots on Twatter use "hashtags." I don't think we should get in the habit of polluting our communications with them as well.

      Beyond that, I do feel this whole concept of co-opting the whole "meme" deal and using it for God's purposes may bear further investigation.

        I can't figure out a way to get "Philosorapture" to work, meme-wise. How can we use a creature to spout witty observations about the ultimate fate of the chosen?

          I can't even get that meme generating site to work properly. Their servers are so maddeningly slow that I gave up.
