Dear Freepers,

A fellow Freeper alerted me to another discussion board, wherein the leftist/deviants are advising one another to register at Free Republic in order to pose as Christians, with the purpose of promoting homosexuality in a subversive manner, thereby disrupting Free Republic.

Here are a few comments, just so that you will be on the alert for this sort of thing: (if I may be so bold):

I'm a troll on a Freeper board by: anonymous 32 03/17/2004 @ 06:09PM

Hey....I've never done it but stumbled across a conservative board and created a character of a right-wing intolerant born-again Christian zealot. It's amazing how many people love me there. I don't know whether to laugh or cry. You create a character which you believe is preposterous and find out there are 100's out there like it. Use words like Rosie in an abomination and the posts of approval you get. I'm trying to figure out if somehow I can turn this into a good thing.

LOL that's crazy OP (j/k)

RE: I'm a troll on a Freeper board by: anonymous 03/17/2004 @ 06:11PM

easy... just string them along for a few months, then let loose and tell them how you REALLY feel! Of course you'll be banned immediately, but with any luck you'll create so much mistrust among them that the board will fall apart. Good luck!

Use your persona to ask how you as a Christian can reconcile hating gays with eating shrimp, per Leviticus.

RE: I'm a troll on a Freeper board by: anonymous 03/17/2004 @ 06:13PM

Nah, you get them to like you and know you, and then you start injecting some common sense here and there, like how you just cannot support government intrusiveness into the bedroom, and how it's just Democrat-like "Big Government" to think the government should solve all the social problems, and to just let the market decide, and that no churches would ever or should ever be compelled to perform gay marriages, but that you believe in freedom of religion in this country as a founding principle, so people should be able to choose to burn in hell or not, and that Bush shouldn't be forcing that choice on them. Stuff like that. I'm sure you can figure out a way to slowly, subtly get some stuff in there. Lots of good fodder in the whole budget big-government thing too.

Start raging about sodomites and anal sex like they do, and gradually make it sound more and more erotic.

RE: I'm a troll on a Freeper board by: anonymous 03/17/2004 @ 06:14PM

6:11's idea is good, plus waiting will give you time to get used to how the board is moderated, and when would be the optimum time to reveal your true self when you don't expect any deleting moderators around for a while.

I'm on my 2nd subversive character at Lucianne.com It's fun in a way, but I can only take those people in small doses. They really are toxic.

I hope I'm not breaking any rules by posting this. But since I have noticed exactly this kind of junk lately, I thought people here should know about it.

Homosexual Agenda Ping + Stupid Troll Alert.

Keep your eyes open for these idiots, they are begging and pleading to get zotted.

You know, these kids are so obsessed with 'secretly' pretending they are other people. I don't get it.
Well, anyone hears of a dumbass talking about eating shrimp and anal sex, you know what to do.
What a bunch of morons....

"easy... just string them along for a few months, then let loose and tell them how you REALLY feel! "

Oh, that's brilliant. Because I REALLY have a few months to kill. What the hell. I'll just quit my work, forget the mortgage, and pretend I'm someone else for a few months, just to say how I feel.
God, these kids are losers.

If you think preparation H is erotic.

Luckily, this is not a problem I will have should I choose to return to the Church. I hate shrimp.

OK, folks, I have a confession to make.

I'm one of those trolls.

I'm really a far right wing conservative. I have only been masquerading as a plain old right wing conservative.

I figured I would just hang out here until closer to the election and then reveal my secret identity.

[BenLurkin]

It has been a "few months" since November 18, 2003.

[ECM]

Just do what I do: if you profess to be a Christian and support homosexuality, you're automatically dimissed since, clearly, you don't actually read the Bible.

Problem solved.

[Arkinsaw]

God, these kids are losers.

Shhhh, they think they are doing something important and it keeps them out of real trouble.

***Well, anyone hears of a dumbass talking about eating shrimp and anal sex, you know what to do.***

What is he trying to say? Last time I looked at Leviticus, eating shrimp was NOT an alternative to being stoned for anal sex?!?

Besides, shrimp aren't unclean. They have 'modified' fins for a tail, and the 'peel' plates are a scale of sorts...at least it works for me.

Then again, there is always Paul's passage to Timothy about eating that which has had a blessing asked, with thanksgiving.

If I'm still not covered, and I'm in good-faithed ignorance (like when I was a Democrat in college in the 60's) sinning, I STILL have the forgiveness of my sins through the Grace of God via faith in Christ.

so how do we know you're not a troll?

in order to pose as Christians, with the purpose of promoting homosexuality

Rest easy, Freepers can sniff out these disruptors from a mile away.

[mingwah]

I like shrimp but the anal thing is too much!

"Use your persona to ask how you as a Christian can reconcile hating gays with eating shrimp, per Leviticus."

OK, time for some basic theology 101. What is being alluded to here is that in the Pentateuch(first five books of Old Testament), homosexuality is a capital crime, but the eating of things like shrimp was also forbidden. This is supposed to "stump" a Christian who, rightfully, holds a disdain for homosexuality, but still eat things forbidden.

This was dealt with a very long time ago by theologians - long before "homosexual rights" were ever an issue. The Pentateuch (AKA "Law of Moses") can be thought of being three parts.

The first part is the ceremonial law - how to sacrifice animals, give offerings, clean and unclean things, etc. These are things that set the Hebrews apart from other nations. Well, the ceremonial law ended with Christ. By Christian theology, Christ forever ended that by his death of the cross. The prohibition of eating "shrimp" would be part of the ceremonial law.

The second part would be the judicial or civil law. These are things dealings with property law, punishments for certain crimes, etc. It is the same as the governmental and civil laws of this land. Christian theologians have long recognized that, although it is a good model to follow, the civil/judicial law of ancient Israel was specific and binding only on that nation. In essence, it is not in effect any more. A great deal of our law is based upon it though.

Thirdly, there is the Moral Law, which is summarized in the Ten Commandments. The Moral Law is still considered binding on all, as a judge on right and wrong. The commandment that is quoted as "Thou shall not commit adultery" is better translated/stated as "Do not engage in sexual immorality." Adultery is just one type, homosexuality is another. Other parts of these five books go into more detail about the many varieties of sexual immorality - incest, bestiality, fornication, etc.

And your point is...?
