Heard about this a while ago. Should be fun, as no one trolls like nerds do. Can't wait to see the creative stuff they come up with to bother the "protesters"

I've said it before, and I'll say it again...these guys have to be a joke.  There's NO way this couldn't be a joke.

"they worship the work of their own hands, that which their own fingers have made [...] The destruction of this nation is imminent"

Yep, the very downfall of this nation will be humans making things instead of spending their entire life worshipping religous idols (who were, a long time ago, also born of human ideas)

You know, this is why the rest of the world has a bad image of america.

And since nobody does anything about those extremists, the image will stay there.

Nope, humanity is a race of sin and deserves to completely burn in Hell <3

People like this group try to claim that the only people God doesn't hate are the ones who spend their whole lives doing nothing but worship and doing ridiculous stuff like this supposedly for him.

I am questionable on the sign he is holding. Romans 9:13 says:

"Just as it is written: 'Jacob I loved, but Esau I hated.'"

Esau traded his birthright for some soup... how does that equal God hating nerds.... Not like nerds have given up their souls to technology, they have just given up their time. And look! I just posted the Bible using the computer. I wonder if they would consider me a heathen or a saint.

"8 Their land is full of idols;
       they bow down to the work of their hands,
       to what their fingers have made.

9 So man will be brought low
       and mankind humbled—
       do not forgive them." -Isaiah 2:8-9

I'm sorry but I don't think using computers or any form of technology means worshiping it. Even dictionary.com has one definition of worshiping as "To honor and love as a deity." My computer does not have special powers, it cannot revive the dead, it cannot turn water into wine (or funk), it cannot accurately predict the future. So these guys are either an insult to my religion, or the best trolls I have seen in awhile.... Oh well, people can take anything out of context and say they are right. My 2 cents as a religious person.

It's off "true topic" but I'd want these people to come down here to New Orleans on Decadence and protest......
I'd pay to see what would happen. ^___^

I think that sign was photoshopped oh well i'll just assume its not.
so basically, extremists are protesting a comic book convention; they claim that the nerds could be using their time to study the bible instead of reading comic books.
Well guess what, the christian extremists could be doing something worthwhile like serving food at a homeless shelter or a fundraiser instead of being a bunch of vagina cleaning devicebags.

I came back last night.......... sorry for the sudden disappearance.

Life took a turn for the ultimate worst, and it's not even over yet.
I didn't think I'd be back so soon as of now, but what  can I say... I miss you guys!  maneatingrobot;

People who come back should make a thread in the Sign In/Sign On board to report, please.

Or maybe Star will protest, so that'd make these comments stay on topic.
