When the dudes at the Pro-Male/Anti-Feminist Technology blog aren’t wistfully looking forward to the days in which sexbots and artificial wombs make mere flesh-and-blood ladies obsolete, they’re pondering the crucial spiritual questions of our age, like how to pick up hot sluts at church. Any church, really, so long as it’s full of hot sluts. The blogger there – who doesn’t give his name, so let’s just call him Anti – recently highlighted this observation, from commenter The Fifth Horseman:
[C]hurch would be a great place for a PUA to run Game …
1) There is a built-in structure to meet women that takes out the difficulty of doing a cold approach.
2) All other men there are so pedestalizing, that the competition to a man who actually runs moderate Game is nil.
3) Sunday morning = where else would you Game at that time?
4) Once you have slept with a couple women in that church, simply move on to another church. Who cares if one is Baptist and the other is Episcopalian and the third is Lutheran? Just use up the desirable women and move on.
Jesus wept.
But Anti didn’t, and added his two cents to the discussion:
All you need to do to use the “Sunday Morning Nightclub” is find a church with single women. Some churches are pretty much all families so avoid them. Other churches are supertraditional where everyone gets married before 20. … I would also avoid Eastern Orthodox churches. …
When it comes to meeting the women there, you already have built in openers to use such as how “you have been looking for a church”. These women will put out for you. You aren’t going to find any virgins waiting for marriage (with the exception of a few outliers with very unusual issues). The women there are better described as “sluts for Jesus”.
Absolutely. All you need to do, fellas, is to approach them calmly and confidently, look quickly down at your crotch, then directly into their eyes, and ask them: “Would you like to meet … Little Jesus”
Verily, I say unto you, it works every time.
…and by “no more implausible” I mean HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHOOO HOOHEE HEE HEE hee hee hooooh……
What if the other things were basically watching every episode of Doctor Who? At least with the hole digging there was some kind of physical exercise and that is good right?
ooo, P-formerly, you are not familiar with their masterwork, “miracles”?
Seriously, sit through the pain long enough to get to the part about magnets….
Ow! just link to the lyrics! I hate rap!
He has a vague idea of where science lives.
..and he stalks it.
o no no no , p=formerly, you HAVE to listen to the delivery. IT MAKES ALL THE DIFFERENCE.
*joins a convent to escape it*
@Sally: “Well, for starters, you need a coherent starting point. I.e., someone needs to make an observation about the nature of this non-physical reality and how it affects physical reality. Because the claim certainly seems to be that it affects physical reality, otherwise why bother praying or being psychic or whatever?”
Ok! I think this might be where some of our breakdown is happening. The divine does not, necessarily, need to impact physical reality. You could pray, and believe, for personal fulfillment, or whatever other private reason people have to pray.
“If non-physical reality doesn’t affect physical reality then why are we bothering about it?”
See, this is kind of my point. You can’t understand why someone would bother about it. This isn’t an attack against you. I can’t understand everyone’s myriad reasons, either. People just have their own motivations, their own look at reality. And I can’t say it’s false. So why should I? It’s more important to be respectful.
Mind you, I’m not talking about non-physical things and such. I believe that the divine and evolution can coexist, but creationism is still scientifically wrong.
@Kirby: “I don’t mean to pick a fight, but there are some reasons why even a personal belief can be damaging if it isn’t true.”
Don’t worry about picking fights! I think we can disgree while still being friends, right? (Right?)
And in general, I agree with you. Not every thing that a person believes ever is a scared elephant that you can’t argue with because they ~believe~ it. But believing in reincarnation, and that Jesus loves us, and in the personal divine can be personally very enriching, and not often damaging. (Though you are right, people can take it to far and hurt themselves. I’m not sure where this line is, though.)
And your card backgrounds really amused me! =D
@Bee: “He has a vague idea of where science lives.”
This is really plausible to me.
OK, here is the POMETRY:
While I love the concept of everyday miracles, and the idea that something is no less miraculous if you know how it works, that is one of the dumbest is songs I have ever heard. -.-
Clearly they hate elephants.
Also. Fucking magnets.
Seriously, a river flowing? it’s a fucking MIRACLE, not some namby-pamby scientifical gravitational THEORY! Scientists, gettin me pissed!
Sarah, don’t get me wrong. I have an unhealthy love for the magic in rock music, and as a semi-creative type, love all kinds of manifestations of the muses…. but fucking magnets, we KNOW how they work, and they are only miracles to three year olds.
In fact, I think when Young Zombie was three years old, he knew how magnets fucking worked.
Grah… The lyrics aren’t even well written (compared to most rap), and this:
“And I don’t wanna talk to a scientist
Y’all motherfuckers lying, and getting me pissed”
Is horrible to me. Basically, it smacks of “I have this fuzzy feeling about the world, you are trying to explain what I am convinced is unexplainable, so therefore you are lying.” Its like.. if you tried to write music, but said “I don’t want to talk to a composer, y’all are lying, and getting me pissed.” Hmm… I wonder…
What does a Pelican trying to eat your cellphone have to do with miracles? And are the magnets using proper protection? They’re probably not ready to start magnet families.
to be fair, Futrelle posted on “Miracles” a while back, I believe, but I need a new glass of wine and can’t be arsed to go look….
Clearly they hate elephants.
Well, Obviously.
They are Insane Clowns.
They’re probably not ready to start magnet families.
However, their kids will definitely go to a Magnet School….
Man. When I was working as a camp counselor I explained to my 8 year old girls how magnets worked! A whole group of about a dozen of them! Right down to the electrons! Using diagrams!
Also, I do think music can be miraculous. BUT I ALSO KNOW HOW IT WORKS! SOUND WAVES, PEOPLE!
Grah… The lyrics aren’t even well written (compared to most rap)
Not even compared to Ayn Rand books.
@Sarah:
Its.. a really new agey type of thing. Like “Oh, the world is so complicated and mystical, no one can understand it. We’ve had thousands of years, and we can’t even understand our own brains, therefore we understand nothing!” Its a state of being content with statements like “I know because I know because I know because I know” (true quote), of being blissful in ignorance.
Either that, or its a legitimate feeling of knowing that while, superficially, we know how magnets work, we can’t explain it all the way down. However, given their anti-science stance, I’m gonna go with the former.
“Fuckin Magnets. How do they work?” has not become an Internet Tradition for nothing.
I do hope the Insane Clown are properly embarrassed.
kirby, along those lines, here’s a wonderful little ditty by Ozian Tim Minchin:
@Zombie:
Love Tim Minchin, and LOVE this poem. ^__^
That sounds about right Zombie.
well the beginning part anyway…the latter half is just dumb.
When one thinks about all the stuff that has to go right to have a baby, any child is a miracle. When one thinks of all the things that go into making magnet schools work…that is a miracle.
When one wants to explain the formerly unexplainable, that too is a miracle that no one got the pointy sticks out.
