"Selling my collection because I found Jesus!"

[SamuraiSmurfette]

I'm not listing the item number, because I want to bid on it :evil:
Perhaps, if I do, I'll go to hell?

Seller had this link stating his selling motivation.
http://www.pessah.net/sega_us.html

[muteboy]

what is he selling?

[mills]

yes, what are you tlaking about?

[SamuraiSmurfette]

He's selling his collection of Master system games, because they were leading him away from Jesus.


Looking back now, I think that my collection of SEGA video games was a sort of jail for me, I am extremely happy I suffered that, because it allowed me to find Jesus.

[dcescott]

I see nothing wrong with that. If he is serious, Jesus is far more important than gaming is ANYDAY.

[swlovinist]

Being a Christian myself, sometimes it really gets old how some people like to bash on my religion. You dont have to like it and it does not mean you have to make fun of someone publically for having faith. How would you like it if someone publically made fun of you?

[b0bby]

games are Way cooler than jesus....pffff......think about kratos vs. jesus...no contest

[muteboy]

salvation or having fun till my eyes bleed. hmm... tough choice. :P

[ron_burgundy]

everybody prays, some people pray to jesus, I pray to my Atari 7800 same thing, only I can see what I pray to. as to being made fun of publicly, it hapens to everyone people just dont make fun of christianty, they make fun of anything and everything that is evin the slightest bit different. So dont think we are picking on you of your faith to hurt you it is all in good fun!!!

you stay classy,

Ron

Personally, I think it's great to see someone who can truly focus on eternity instead of the number of "things" they can gather during the EXTREMELY short time we're here on earth. If I felt that my game collection was standing in the way of faith and my walk with Jesus Christ, they would all be gone in a heartbeat. Eternity is a VERY long time guys, and where I spend it is MUCH more important than whether or not I finally complete these NES and N64 collections :D

Just my 2 cents....

[emumuumuucowgomoo]

HAHAHA! This is the funniest thing ever. It'd be even better if he was, you know, DONATING them. I guess his Walk with Jesus Christ Our Lord and <s>Fanatic Occultist</s> Savior isn't quite as important as making some cash money for his troubles.

I don't know, let me check this ancient book compiled way back before the Jews invented money and guns to know what my stance is on this issue.

Ahh, I see, I roll 2D6, then D20 for Critical Hit-- no, wait, wrong Instruction Manual.

Oh wait, the sprit of Jesus is coming in. Hang on.


FUCK YOU FUCK YOU FUCK YOU WHY CAN'T YOU PEOPLE KEEP YOUR GODDAMN RELIGION TO YOURSELVES I DON'T WALK AROUND WITH MY DICK FLOPPING AROUND SO WHY MUST YOU ALWAYS ALWAYS ALWAYS ALWAYS FEEL COMPELLED TO FLOP YOUR FAITH IN THE WORLD'S FACE IS IT BECAUSE YOUR FAITH KEEPS YOU SCARED INSIDE I'LL BET IT SURE DOES ROMZ ROMZ ROMZ ROMZ ROMZ ROMZ PR0N!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


Crap. It's been a whole thirty minutes since I touched a game console, I better do as Jesus says. Only I'm sure he won't mind if I <s>throw money at those heathen Jew pig swine</s> support my local game store instead of using ROMs.

And before you start - I was born again for about a year. Why? Growing up I had always been a militant athiest, yet was still curious about the "other side", so to speak. I didn't much like, care for, or trust Christian people.

Then, to make a long story short, I gave it all up to faith. There was a girl who I respected, a situation, strangeness, you name it, I threw my distrust to the wind and accepted what you people call "the spirit" into my "heart", or more accurately, "the center of my bleeding mind".

Your goddamn Jesus shit got me so fucked up stressed insane inside from trying to live up to Doctrine that I ended up in two mental hospitals. I couldn't muster the nerve to communicate with anyone around me, for fear that the TONE OF MY VOICE might not TRULY BE THAT OF LOVE AND BROTHERHOOD. Not like I was shouting at them - oh no. Just the difference in register between the deep, gravlly voice of John Carradine, or the Lord (taking Cecil Miller's version of the Ten Commandments as reference), or Charles Bronson, versus the sound of Paul Reubens.

The upshot? Now I can say without a doubt in my mind that you people are truly, truly fucked in the head. Anbd, in more literal terms, since I'm sure you can see that as something you can agree with and still be a Positive Folk, THE ELECTRICAL IMPULSES FIRING IN YOUR BRAIN ARE UNDER VERY WEAK MANAGEMENT. IT IS AKIN TO IF WE WERE ALL STANDING IN A LINE AND I WAS LETTING THE MUSCLES IN MY LEGS GO HAYWIRE SUCH THAT I WAS NO LONGER REMAINING IN ONE PLACE IN THE LINE. YES IT IS GREAT THAT I AM ALLOWED TO GO WHERE MY LEGS COMPEL ME HOWEVER I AM A FAILURE AT THE PRACTICE OF GETTING INTO DISNEYWORLD.

What you Christian Folk do to your brains and minds leaves you completely empty inside. If you're not already, and I hope on your behalf you find a clue. I strongly urge you - beg of you - plead with you even - to discover what life on the Outside is like. It's not easy, Lord knows there's lots of Christian Nitwits who will accept you even if you're pissing blood and have emotionally conditioned yourself to fear any expression, any thought, any news clipping which doesn't seem to have a part in The Lord God's Plan. Heck, there are people who will accept you if you would like to seduce underage boys. But once you turn your back on them and start spending time with real, live people, who think, and feel, and at times even truly like one another, you'll get a taste of what life is like.

I take the Bible as one big ironic in joke where the evil that walks the Earth is Christianity - namely those that spread it. Their minds lurk deep in the bounds of hell, the spiritual connections they feel are merely metaphoric offshoots of a once-healthy consciousness.

Frankly it's like AIDS - if only it were politically correct to round up all the Christian Missionaries and those who bleat on and on about God and put them in a little barn, so the rest of the world doesn't have to contend with them. Like Jim Jones tried to do, back in the day.

And Ron, enough with the ignorance. Not everybody prays. Unless you define praying as A) having a capacity for hope, B) utilizing that capacity for hope, and C) expressing that capacity to the outside world - such that an excited whimper while a roulette wheel is spun constitutes (that means, in this context, "counts", or more accurately, "when put to together, adds up to") as praying. In other words, yep, people have emotions which they feel the need to express at times. In which case, okay. And I'll say that every time you frown, feel down or bad, or are foiled, counts as a manifestation of Satan, and therefore you're a walking theological timebomb and should be excorcised as soon as possible.




You expressed your opinions, that's real swell. There's mine. I've been on both sides, and now that I'm slowly recovering from Meaning and Truth, I am never, never goddamn going back.

[mills]

"I see nothing wrong with that. If he is serious, Jesus is far more important than gaming is ANYDAY."


How would you know, have you met Jesus?

I have no problem with people who believe in Jesus but when you go and say things like that it just makes me ashamed for you. To put Jesus before everything in your life is ignorant, Jesus has nothing to do with gaming.

Do in life what makes you happy, just don't hurt others along the way, thats my philosophy.

This person is obviously dilluted, trying to find a scapegoat for changing his life and finding Jesus, so he decides to get rid of his video games, something he once loved. People think they are being selfless by sacrificing something in the name of the lord, when infact they are just trying too ahrd to get into "heaven" because they know they've done something bad in their lives and they want to make up for it.[/quote]

[Jibbajaba]

:eek 2: Wow. This thread went down faster than a $5 whore. Can't we all just have fun at the expense of some idiot on eBay, and leave it at that instead of turning it into a religious debate? No one here agrees with the seller, or NONE of you would be posting on the boards or playing games to begin with. You people jump all over the OP for ridiculing someone who basically is saying that Jesus told him to sell his games. Quit being so fucking PC for a minute and just realize that it's PRETTY DAMNED FUNNY!!!

:roll:

I hope the only guns you own plug into your television.

[Bluteg]

I need to send him an e-mail stating that Jesus lead me too him to buy James "Buster" Douglas boxing for "$10 shipped".

[Jibbajaba]

Blah blah blah I'm a troll.

I hope the only guns you own plug into your television.

LOL

So it's not just me that thinks this guy is a whack job, then.

And seriously, if Jesus told him to do this, then he should donate the shit to an orphanage or something. I think that this is one of those attention-whore auctions where the seller makes up a bullshit story to get more attention and therefore, more bids.

[Kitsune Sniper]

While I am not exactly fond of born-again religious people - or those that take their devotion to a overly sick level, I do admire people who have the patience and will to follow a religion.

That said, thank God I'm an atheist. :P

There's one saying down here: "People can never agree on three things: Sports, Politics and Religion". Take that into mind.

I hope the guy is truly happy after selling his games and doesn't end up doing a 180, and regret selling his collection.

[machine.slave]

Meh.. the way I see it, Jesus and video games have a lot in common! For one, they're both man-made. :roll:

[emumuumuucowgomoo]

I hope the only guns you own plug into your television.

Eternity is a VERY long time guys, and where I spend it is MUCH more important than whether or not I finally complete these NES and N64 collections

Just my 2 cents....

Personally, I think it's great to see you speaking from the heart on the interweb. It means you'll die a lot sooner than someone who doesn't give their heart all that dirty work to do. Is the interweb a gift from God to show us how we all telepathize with other human beings on the Interweb of the Believer's Mind? Also, I gather that you do not have what it takes to truly focus on eternity. whatsa matter? Aren't you doped up to your eyeballs on crazy pills like all the rest of the goofy Bible folk? Did Mommy raise a child with a faulty mind? ADHD is what they call it, and that stands for blah blah blah DISORDER. And we all know who's all about the Disorder and Chaos.

So obviously, either you don't give a shit about Eternity (otherwise you too would be sacrificing everything at blowout prices to focus on meditation, Jesus, and Jars of Clay bootlegz), or you're a minion of Satan on the deep inside, where it matters.

i wouldn't figure the first - you're serious enough about your, um, Eternal Soul Saving, to at least take a break from posting about Soul Legacy to give us the tired old "Eternity is forever think about it guys a lifetime it's important" sphiel. So that probably leaves ADHD or some other mind disorder as the answer.

Remember, the religion you believe in is in your mind as well - otherwise how could you feel God, or know this "THINK ABOUT IT MAN WHERE U SPEND ETERNITY IS FOREVER MATTERS A LOT BLAH BLEAT BLAH BLAH" routine by heart? No, before you leap to THAT faulty conclusion, it's not in your heart. Otherwise everything you know about religion, every prayer, every gospel song, would be. writ. like. this. this. is. the. act. tiv. i. ty. the. heart. per. forms.

or-per. haps in. i-am. bic-pen. tam.e.ter.

Or you have the world's most goddamn irregular heartbeat to have formed your thoughts, prayers, moral ways, in the language of English.

So, seems to me, boss, that when you add the fact that you're too ADHD to focus on Eternity, and Disorder goes hand in hand with Chaos, that the religion you've made up for yourself is really the Devil's own. All the cards fit into place. The Tetriminos are all in alignment. <s>Your mom is my slut</s>. It all adds up to a sad, weary, sympathetic-on-your-behalf "you're deluded, man. Go play some Bust a Move. We'll all be here when you're better".



Wow. This thread went down faster than a $5 whore. Can't we all just have fun at the expense of some idiot on eBay, and leave it at that instead of turning it into a religious debate?

You fail to understand that Christian Robots will NEVER fail to remind everyone around them that Jesus Saves. Nor will they hesitate to bleat out Happy Words in another's defense.

They love it when people point out religious whackjobs, it gives them a chance to be a whackjob too and Feel Good about speaking out in the Name of the Lord and being Accepted by their Fellow Man (since usually people around them are too polite to bluntly tell them to STFU). Also "These people think I'm kewl, and I like Jesus, so they'll see how Jesus is Kewl and all that anti-religious propaganda will fail in its task to Discredit the Lord and Bible". And of course, it's about the only time they can do anything FUN (in this case, calling someone a hater and lecturing on Love and Acceptance).

Ever.

Ever ever ever.

They have the awareness of, roughly, a tree stump.


So, I figure it's best to fight fire with fire and take the same route towards maybe, maybe snapping one or two out of his lifelong misery. Just call me Freedom Robot.



born-again religious people - or those that take their devotion to a overly sick level, I do admire people who have the patience and will to follow a religion.

That said, thank God I'm an atheist. :P

There's one saying down here: "People can never agree on three things: Sports, Politics and Religion". Take that into mind.

I hope the guy is truly happy after selling his games and doesn't end up doing a 180, and regret selling his collection.

Sports: There are teams that play sports and LOL GROWN MEN PAID BIG MONEYS TO HIT A BALL AROUND HOW CRAZY MIND BOGGLING IS THAT CAN I GET AN "AMEN"!?!?

Politics: They're all stupid. Except for James Trificant and Jesse Ventura. And Millard Fillmore looks like an eagle / transsexual.

Religion: God is dead inside.
