[On the Time Magazine cover]
Fine with freedom of religion but how far the free worshipers can go?
That is a copyritgh violation. Christian religion is based in the SACRI-FICE of its founder, Jesus. His ultimate SCRI-FICE was his death.
I see a lot of veterans and many Americans talking like Mr. John Keith Wells you’re talking religion, no doubt, and worse civic religion, your idol of course the American flag. To say that Time is doing a sacri-legious thing against the flag sounds like a civic religion. But what is the god of this american religion?
What I find disturbing is how christians accept this blasphey. I am not advocating for neither side. But I want to make a clear distiction, that there’s an American religion that mocks, compares with and blasphemes against Christ.
The American religion and other religions shouldn’t violate copy rights. They must have their own worship system.

Yes. Their OWN worship system. Customs too, no doubt?
So, you're saying all words starting with "sacri" are copyright to the Christian church?
You realise Jesus never said the world "sacrifice", don't you? Because he spoke Aramaic?
On the cover of Time magazine. It shows the raising of the flag at Iwo Jima, but they replaced the flag with a tree and a couple of veterans were upset by it. This is his rebuttal to the veterans.
How this ties in with Christianity and copyright laws is a mystery to me, only this fundie knows apparently.

Edit:
Still it has nothing to do with Christianity despite the use of religious terms by the veteran.
This fundie does'nt understand metaphor apparently.
Is it okay to mock your English, or have you copyrighted 'worshipers, copyritgh, sacri-fice, scri-fice, sacri-legious, blasphey and distiction'?
Well, maybe you should have the Pope or whoever copyright "Jesus" "God" "Christmas" "Easter" "resurrection" "sacrifice" "crucification" "cross" "death" "rebirth" "rebuild"
no, wait... Maybe I'm thinking of Evangelion.
Anyway.. STFU
That is a copyritgh [sic] violation.
Copyright only applies to artificial things, not the nature of reality. Are you, perchance, implicitly admitting the artificiality of your beliefs?
Christian religion is based in the SACRI-FICE of its founder, Jesus. His ultimate SCRI-FICE was his death.
Given your preceding reference to copyright, are you seriously trying to claim that christianity was the first human institution ever to conceive of sacrifice?
@cyborgtroy
You can't copyright an *idea*, only a specific work that uses the idea. Also, since the original Christian scriptures are out of copyright, each of derivative works falls under different copyright. Which is why, say, a new Bible translation and The Passion of the Christ are copyrighted by different people, and neither needed any previous approval from the heirs of the Apostles.
Speaking of which, if someone is going to sue anyone for copyright violation, why are the Bible researchers trying to find old copies of the manuscripts in forgotten caves in Israel and whatnot, when the simplest course of action would have been to go to the US Library of Congress and ask for the copies? Surely the original authors sent copies for registration back in the day...
Throwing the Copyright at people you disagree with is *so* Scientology-like. Please don't do that.
Uhhh.... WTF? Since when is Christianity under copyright??
@Ambrielle -- according to my spell-check, the correct spelling is "worshipers", so...
I agree. Christians must quit using all dates, traditions and rites they stole from other religions. Furthurmore, they must reimburse those other religions for all the ill-gotten gains they have collected throught the use of these dates, traditions and rites. Sounds fair to me.
Something was said. I seem to recall something about American religion and copy rights. What, if anything, it means, I know not.
First of all, the biblical writers flagrantly ripped off previous religions and belief systems. I could cite numerous examples.
I don't think there were any copyright laws in the 1st century A.D. but I'll have to check with the RIAA just to make sure...
"but it is not ok when a religion usurps elements from another"
"That is a copyritgh violation"
"Christian religion is based in the SACRI-FICE of its founder, Jesus. His ultimate SCRI-FICE was his death. "
"What I find disturbing is how christians accept this blasphey."
"I am not advocating for neither side."
"But I want to make a clear distiction"
"Dear Sir,
Please cease and desist, otherwise bigGlovesya Inc. will be forced to take legal action.
Yours faithfully,
Excuse me, the Heathen, Druid, and various other pre-Christian European religions would like a few words with you about your flagrant plagiarisms...
Doesn't your list of rules say, "Thou shalt not steal?"
Fucking hypocritical Kristjans.
Nice try lawyer want-to-be. But if there was a "copyritgh" on your religion, it would of expired a long time ago.
Edit:
I guess it is ok to have a religion, but it is not ok when a religion usurps elements from another.
Christianity is in big trouble then.
nuevacancion seems to be saying that, because the replacement of the American flag by a tree on the cover of Time Magazine is considered SACRI legious by some veterans ...
... that therefore, it violates Christianity's "copyright", because Christianity features a SACRI fice, which starts with the same 5 letters.
Typical scient-
Christian?
"copyritgh" "SCRI-FICE" "blasphey" "distiction"

Come back when you can spell properly, kid. Then maybe - just maybe - will you have gained the ability to formulate a coherent thought , never mind an opinion, in the first place.
Someone please sit these idiots down and explain to them that Jesus didn't sacrifice anything.
When you sacrifice something, that's it, it's gone forever, you never get it back, nor can you ever expect to get it back.
Jesus came back to life. He even knew he'd come back to life. I know it's all moot since Jesus didn't exist, but in the bullshit story, he had no expectation of a permanent death, so he sacrificed nothing but a few days' time. He took a fucking nap, basically!
Sorry, but dying and then ruling over heaven for all of eternity is no damn sacrifice.
You think it's a sacrifice to be king of heaven? Really?
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
