Talk:Chris and religion

To do

• Chris's warped version of Christianity (homosexuality = bad, lesbianism = good, sex before marriage = okay).
• his twisted double standard of morality (anyone else lies = "vicious lies and slander", Chris outright lies = "half-truths"; also how Adam Stackhouse cheating = bad, Chris cheating = okay).
• God's influence on his dreams
• how Chris is guilty of all seven deadly sins

God is a Troll

If we assume God exists and it was God who talked to Chris could it be argued that God is trolling chris as well?

Split

I'll entertain the motion of splitting off GodJesus into its own page, since Chris has invoked God specifically in much of his work, which can be considered a separate thing to how Chris views religion, in addition to GodJesus being in the comic and a popular meme amongst trolls. We can document all the times Chris has invoked GodJesus in various media.

Thoughts? --Champthom 12:07, 2 September 2009 (CEST)

I guess go on. --Sonijew 11:11, 3 September 2009 (CEST)

That could actually be really funny, thinking about it. Go for it! --Jump 18:36, 30 October 2009 (CET)

Sounds like a good plan. --AdderCress 23:55, 3 December 2009 (CET)

The Seven Deadly Sins

The seven deadly sins aren't really 7 specific sins so much as seven categories that cover all sins. In other words, every wrongdoing is motivated, in one way or another By Greed, Sloth, Lust, Pride, Wrath, Gluttony, or Envy. So whether it's lying to save face (pride) raging against guys with girlfriends (Wrath, Lust, Envy) or basically anything else Chris does at all, it all goes back to one of the deadly sins.

That said, I doubt there's any need to actually include that in the article. Making this whole paragraph moot, I guess. whatever.--Beat 05:38, 15 October 2009 (CEST)

Apparently someone doesn't like the Seven Deadly sins portion of this page much at all. Does the article really need it? I mean, all it does it repeat the point that Chris wallows in wrongdoing. --Beat 19:20, 19 November 2009 (CET)

10 Commandments

Now that's better. I'm half-tempted to delete the 7 deadly sins part completely now that we have this. To whoever wrote it, you're awesome. --Beat 03:28, 11 December 2009 (CET)

Thanks. :^D Tyranogre 06:04, 11 December 2009 (CET)

In the "Honor thy father and thy mother": part of the 10 Commandments is says that Chris called his father a bastard once and links to "Bob Walks In Aftermath". Having read it though it sounds to me like he could have been calling the troll a bastard and not his father. Any thoughts? Lunachu 19:32, 23 April 2010 (UTC)

Possession?

christfag here i believe chris might be possessed or demonically oppressed having cast demons out of people before he acts very similar to them ultrajinx 17:31, 20 November 2009 (CET)

of course if this is true and if some one at his church has half a brain and recognizes this expect the saga to be over very quickly (this is just a theory after all) ultrajinx 17:36, 20 November 2009 (CET)

I'm also a Christian, but I really don't think there's much evidence here for demonic possession. Chris strikes me as just a terrible person on the whole, not a terrible person the devil is controlling.--Beat 17:56, 20 November 2009 (CET)

The devil is wasting his time if he's controlling Chris. --T K 19 18:54, 20 November 2009 (CET)

but if he is truly born again then he can't be possessed only oppressed ultrajinx 15:32, 21 November 2009 (CET)

the only reason i started thinking about this was when in one of the many chats he mentions how he hears things like "chris is gay" ultrajinx 04:16, 22 November 2009 (CET)

Other Religions?

Should we document Chris's opinions on religions other than his own? Unfortunately, there's not much to go by, save a few Mumble chats and recent mailbag responses, but he seems tolerant of other people's beliefs (although this could be attributed to his willing ignorance of everything outside Virginia). --AdderCress 00:00, 4 December 2009 (CET)

Thanks, Dkaien. --AdderCress 21:35, 4 December 2009 (CET)

• That's definitely going to be hard since Chris is unfamiliar with any non-Christian religion. Hell, he doesn't really know the difference between Catholics and Protestants. —Preceding unsigned comment added by AntonImausMk2 (talk • contribs)

Chris said in the mailbag that he agrees with all of Fred Nile's views, and Fred Nile is apparently quite anti-Muslim. Make of that what you will. --sonichuis44 07:51, 21 December 2009 (CET)

Source?

Has Chris ever actually been asked why he believes that there is pain and suffering if there is a loving God? The page suggests he has, but I can't find any source for it. --Mekka 03:22, 15 December 2009 (CET)

Reincarnation

Right here.

Chris's religion is now basically just a mishmash of every faith he's ever heard of, with a good helping of shit he just plain made up.--Beat 07:20, 21 December 2009 (CET)

Afterlife

So I wrote a little bit about Chris's stance on the hereafter, and how it really doesn't have anything in common with Christianity. I just kinda tacked it onto the end of GodJesus, because I couldn't really think of anywhere else it would fit properly.

Pretty much the entire idea of Christianity is that Jesus saves, and that it's impossible to save ourselves no matter how many good deeds we do. It's weird, considering he bases so much of his identity on it, but Chris really isn't a Christian at all.--Beat 08:26, 3 January 2010 (CET)

I think it's possible that he actually doesn't give a damn about Christianity; and that he follows it for his own personal gain. If he ignores most of what Christians believe, and how he's selfish as fuck when it comes to referencing GODJEBUS (Like that time he mentioned how God would send the trolls to hell if they didn't listen to him, for example) then I would assume that Chris really doesn't care much

Issue 10 page 48

So, we have a hedgehog kneeling in prayer before some sort of altar, a stone rolling away from a tomb by itself, and hyper Sonichu, in a church window, assuming the pose Christ had when he died on the cross. Chris just made Jesus Christ an orange Homophobic hedgehog. I'll try and add this to the main article when I'm done raging, because honestly, this is blasphemy on levels I didn't think Chris was capable of.--Beat 05:53, 15 January 2010 (UTC)

• I just saw this and... like they say: you think you've seen Chris hit the lowest, then he ends up outdoing himself.--Blazer 06:11, 15 January 2010 (UTC)
  • The worst part is that that page is stained with something-or-other. --OFSheep 02:08, 18 January 2010 (UTC)
  • I added a bit about Sonichu's apparent new Messianic role, feel free to add/edit/delete if you think it sucks, as up to this point my edits have been mostly minor typo corrections Magic8Ball 12:02, 19 January 2010 (UTC)
    • You done good Magic8Ball. You done good.--Beat 23:08, 23 January 2010 (UTC)

Satanism Comparison?

Or would Chris the Shaman cover most of the satanic-like things he's done, especially that fucked up attempt to brainwash us into hating Asperchu instead of Sonichu? --CWCAttack 00:51, 18 January 2010 (UTC)

• Please remember that we are talking about Chris here. He's pulling tons of stuff out without a hint of afterthought. At worst, he will ask pardon to GosJesus and everything will be well since he's forgiven. Griffintown 01:19, 18 January 2010 (UTC)

I think Chris the shaman covers it well enough. Also, the whole Backmasking thing was really more of a failed attempt at a subliminal message than a cry to Satan.

Of course, we should still call it a satanic message because that's funnier.--Beat 23:15, 23 January 2010 (UTC)

Works or Faith

To be accurate, the Bible is pretty contradictory on faith saving you alone or the works saving you, and many Christians believe the concept of faith alone to be Satanic. So maybe the Christians Chris is around believe that. JamieTyler 22:35, 26 January 2010 (UTC)

The phrase "GodJesus"

Is this the only time Chris has used it? Was it a one-off like niggo or pedofork?—Preceding unsigned comment added by Liquid! (talk • contribs)

• 1) please sign your comments (it's four ~ in a row), 2) lots of things Chris says are one off, but they stick to trolls because they find them amusing. --Champthom 17:32, 8 February 2010 (UTC)

The Simpsons

An odd little coincidence here; I was watching a Simpsons haloween special recently. They're called Treehouse of Horror episodes. They do these non canonical horror stories. Theres one in particular that sees homer killing celebrities for money from advertisement firms. It makes more sense in context. Well it ends with the celebrities coming down from heaven and trying to kill Homer, and before they kill himm he asks what the one true faith is, to which Krusty the Klown replies 'Its a combination of Voodoo and Methodist.' Worth mentioning or not? --Edward 17:45, 9 March 2010 (UTC)

• I think it's pure coincidence. I have yet heard Chris call himself a Methodism or any relation with Voodoo. If he mention it in the future, the comment would be added. Griffintown 18:19, 9 March 2010 (UTC)

• His current church is Methodist. --T K 19 19:44, 9 March 2010 (UTC)

• Good, we are half-way there. At the second he mention Voodoo, the info will fit in the article. Griffintown 19:50, 9 March 2010 (UTC)

• "Despite his professed Christianity, Chris's beliefs and behaviors almost tend towards a sort of shamanistic mindset, where God is a force to be controlled; and the universe can be influenced by various mystic rituals." --T K 19 20:06, 9 March 2010 (UTC)

• Nice link but as long as Chris don't use the term "VooDoo" or make a direct allusion to the said scene, there's no ground to add it on the article. Griffintown 20:12, 9 March 2010 (UTC)
