What? Are these people serious?

So I just came across this article on Google and at first thought it was written by one of those people, considering the name of the website and the use of the words 'papist' and 'North AFRICAN SEX-symbol' (meaning an obelisk), and frequent use of ALL CAPS. But one part made me wonder if it's all just some sort of joke.

Note: You may order tubes of Black Lipstick Remover from the following address (cash with order ONLY; NO REFUNDS). Ask for it "by name" -- "666 REMOVER." Limit 25 tubes per purchase, no more than five purchases per day. Credit Card payments via phone. If you do not receive your Remover before the arrival of UFO BEAST-1, I hope you enjoy the Great Tribulation! You can get a tract from Ruckman on how to be saved by the "plan of salvation" thru "keeping the law" in the Tribulation. It is called "Millions Disappear" and sells for 25 cents.


All I can say is

It reminds me of the time this guy kept on trying to sell holy water from the Jordan River.

Although this sounds ten times more ludicrous.

I think the imporant queston is: who cares? It silly no matter whether they're serious or not.

I actually think it's hilarious, myself. Practically hurt myself laughing.

LOLOL. I appreciate that that gif was used in this thread. XD

Also continuing to LOLOL at the mention of Egyptian Obelisks. XDD LOLing forever, in fact. XD

Anyways, this is either a joke or yet another case of "these people are unfortunately misguided, but still need the love of Jesus just like anybody else." XD

The author (who appears to be anti-KJV-Onlyism, the belief that the King James Version is the only proper English translation of the Bible) is quoting something by Peter Ruckman, who's a pretty staunch advocate of KJV-Onlyism. And by staunch, I mean he insults and ridicules anyone who opposes his position that the KJV is God's inspired word, and that anything in the KJV that's different from the Hebrew/Greek texts supersedes the originals. That's like saying that a translation of Moby Dick, done in a language that isn't around now, 1500 years in the future, is a better translation than the original.

Also, according to Ruckman, the CIA has made deals with aliens, letting them fly around and harvest peoples' organs.

You wanna know the scary part? That's not even the stupidest position on the KJV. There are people who believe God gave Moses the KJV Bible on Mt. Sinai (yes, the New Testament as well) and that ancient Hebrew is actually English.

Don't ask me how that works.

O_O I've heard people talk about this, but never met anyone who actually believed it. KJV Bible English wasn't even around at the time Moses went up to Mt Sinai. Is there a particular denomination that believes this?

There are also people who worship Cthulhu.

Like I said though, they think ancient Hebrew is KJV English. And that at some point it became what Hebrew is now.

And I don't think there's a particular denomination that believes it, at least, not any mainstream one. It's a pretty small group of people that adhere to this belief, for obvious reasons.

That's pretty much the funniest bit, right there.
Of course, maybe there's a reason for that level of presumptuousness. Maybe those things sell like hotcakes, we don't know.
