Soapbox Commentaries

June 14, 2007

Last night I was reading some of the comments that were posted on my article’s pages. Some of them were so funny and obnoxious I thought I’d share my list of favorites with you.

The article I wrote entitled, “Apostolic Pentecostalism; The Cult of Christianity,” has received numerous comments. A lot of them were by people who obviously disagreed with me. Here’s a couple of my favorites.

Jonathan Woods – I can not believe you. How often do you hear of a UPC or other closely related Domination take about that religion you are. And we love and show care and compassion because it is what Jesus tells us to do. And if you can not understand and do what Jesus Christ plainly said to do then leave that between you and God. Everything the UPC does is based on what the Bible says. And I dare you to come a UPC Church and if that doesn’t prove to you that this is not a cult. Then I pray that God will open your eyes and let you know that these things that you say are lies, and blaspheme against his word. And the Bible tells us about people like you that will speak these things. So im not worried about it. Because nothing built against the Church shall last. because I have been filled with the Holy Ghost and been Baptized ( by full submission because it is what the Bible says and what I know is write) as well as repented for my sins. And I repent daily. And I know that this is not a cult. And I will be All of this is a lie. I pray for your soul. And like I said everything that we do is based on the bible. Which buy judging by your myspace page, it doesn’t even seem like you are a Christian. But that is just my opinion. So yeah I also hope that the Amanda Sparks, and Shauna Skye, come to a realization that what you put is not true in anyway or form. I also hope anyone else that has read this or comes in contact with it will also know that they are lies. And will come and ask a UPC member about this because they can quote scriptures saying things like this will happen and prove that it is wrong based on what the Bible tells us. In Jesus Name Amen.


I guess he thinks because he ended it with In Jesus Name amen that that’s all there is to say on the matter. and Hello!! I’m not a Christian…duh!

Rob – This is one of the most ridiculous posts I’ve ever seen. I currently attend an apostolic church and while we are a holiness church, some of the many things that this article describes is nothing but foolishness. If you really wanna know about The apostolic way please talk with people that are in it.

Umm…my parents have been in this church for over 20 years and I attended myself for a few years so why should I talk to someone else about it?

After I wrote that article I posted it on myspace in the religious groups section and received a lot of flak and name calling. In response to that I wrote an editorial called, “I Am The Devil; When Christians Attack.” Here is my favorite comment on that because it is so very true.

Jenny – I believe God and the afterlife is a bit like a Long Island Iced Tea. It’s got a little of this, a little of that. Take one part Jesus’s liberal turn the other cheek, and one part Buddhism’s reincarnation, and one part Islam’s central message of peace, add a little cola, throw in a lime garnish and ta da! Spiritual salvation. There is no one religion that has all the right answers. Maybe some have more right answers than others but seriously, does anyone truly believe that when they get up to Heaven (because we all believe we’re going to “heaven”), and give a shout out to God, he won’t answer to Yahweh or Allah too?

Here is a great comment left by someone named advantagy about my article, “Saddam’s Ghost Seen in Bagdad.

Advantagy – I would only like to know: 1. Who saw the ghost of Saddam Hussein (identity, age, intellectuel level, …) 2. How appeared he (as an ordinary person, a ghost, ectoplasm…) 3. Was he standing or floating ? 4. What was he doing (eating, flaning…) 5. Why did not catch him to question him ? 6. How did he disappeared (walking, suddenly…) … Thanks

I wrote an article after being inspired by the circumstances of a friend’s sex life. boy have I caught some heat over this one. Apparently there is a large number of people who either don’t or can’t read and assume the article targets all men and women. Here’s what they had to say about me and the article.

Chris Wilson – Kelly, I think you knew exactly what you were doing when you wrote this article, which is sit and bitch about everything you don’t like about YOUR husband, explain just how to get into your pants, and thereby show just how shallow you truly are. If I want to spend a couple hundred bucks for sex, I’ll hire a hooker, where I’m GUARANTEED an outcome. But I wouldn’t do that, because I love my wife. What you DON’T realize is that many husbands aren’t just looking for sex; they’re looking for closeness and intimacy as well. I work just as hard and put in just as much time into child-rearing, cooking, cleaning, yard work, etc. as she does, yet I’M the one who has to be sensitive to HER?? Maybe stay-at-home moms are like this, but in marriages where both husband and wife work outside the home (and the wife wants to be treated as an equal), women need to understand that they have to invest time in the relationship as well. Yes, caring for children is obviously more important than sex; however, you need to understand that a woman that puts her husband last can’t expect him to put you first. You trivialize the man’s role in a marriage by your article.

Synn – get the F outta here i aint gonna fork out all that money just to have ONE night of sex..pfffttttt women need to stop gettin ahead of themselves wine n dine my ass. give me a millions dollars and damn i’d do it every night

Blake – Ok, how about next time you want your husband to take you out for a nice dinner you spring for a babysitter out of the house, give him a 2-hour back massage, then give him 12-blowjobs in a row… then sex two or three times. Then invite the babysitter back over (w/o the kids who went to gma’s) and have a threesome.. My point is that it is ridiculous to expect that sort of treatment JUST to get sex. Sex ought to be a regular expression of intimacy and love. Men get over all sorts of self deficiencies both to have sex, and to go out on the sort of branches women expect men to go out on to make a romantic night… All that said this might be a great article for a “special” once a year, or 6 month suprise for your wife but I see a $200+ night Another thing, most good men will easily get over the little problems their wives have with their bodies. Most aren’t even bothered if their wives are 40lbs overweight… but 90% of the women helping men have sex with their men sites invol (his comment was cut off here and he never finished it)

Ok, enough about me. LOL I love the feedback, even the negative ones. feel free to add your own input.
