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.
Sigh…
No, that would mean the commentor would be anti-semetic or Islamophobic.
You’re not even wrong.
Of course, many churches have active singles groups. Of course, I’d imagine few of them provide these groups for the purpose of making life easier for PUAs.
Me, I’ve been frequenting Shaker singles groups in my area. Haven’t gotten lucky yet, but I’m sure it’ll happen before long, right?
I thought about joining the Friends but I hate getting up early in the morning. 🙁
Of course Footslave’s a Christian. What other faith would allow him to lie to himself constantly, and justify lying to other people, and still allow him to deceive himself into thinking he’s a good person?
Oh right, all of them.
I don’t know why y’all are hung up on mocking religions. I LOVE mocking religions? They are so funny and crazy and silly! I don’t respect people’s beliefs, I respect people. I give respect to beliefs if they are coherent and evidence-based. Otherwise, your belief system is fair game.
Like Slavey thinking that an evolutionary bottleneck is proof of the literal truth of the account in Genesis. Hilarious!
Err, awkward punctuation mistake: that should be,
“I LOVE mocking religions!!”
No question mark there.
Wow, cynikal, I now love the phrase “not even wrong.” It applies to virtually everything NWO has ever said on this site.
I thought about joining the Friends but I hate getting up early in the morning.
Yeah, I could see myself hanging with Chandler, but I think Joey would get on my nerves after a while.
(Actually, I hate them all). 😛
SallyStrange – I don’t mean to be starting a disputation here, but the whole point of religion is that it isn’t based on physical evidence, and that’s okay. I have beliefs that I can’t offer up hard data to support, and since I don’t use those beliefs to judge or control others, I don’t need to justify them.
Atheism is a valid belief, but atheism isn’t the only valid belief. Acting like your belief system is obviously and transparently the only real one is… as fanatical and intolerant as you might think religion is.
Silly CB, Friends are not quite the same. Less annoying for one.
@Elizabeth: Ohmigod, Church kittehs! So cute! =DD
And Slavie, I, too, would like to know why you hate elephants so much. All you ever can talk about is your hatred for these beautiful, slow-paced creatures. They are truly wonderful, and your hatred for them is such a tragedy. In fact, dare I say, it’s the elephant in the room!
giraffes = good, elephants = bad
NWO: It’s alright to mock you because you are mockworthy. I’m a white man. I’m straight. I’m (fundamentally) christian.
No one is mocking me.
Then again, I see that the guy President Obama had host a talk… he’s a white Cristian who mocks homosexuals. He’s still doing all right. Heck, he was the guy who gave the benediction for I forget what presidential event. Must suck to be a white, Christian homophobe.
But really, Dave is defending Christians, why don’t you want him to defend Christians. Are you really supporting people who think church is a place to use as a meat market?
Why are you so anti-christian?
CB: Soon as they see how much Shakin’ you can do, they’ll be all over it.
Beth: Friends call that, “Worshipping the Pillow”
elephant hatred in, elephant hatred out
Really? Billions of religious people would dispute that statement. They really think they have physical evidence. But they’re wrong. They’re being deceived, usually by people who know better and choose to do it anyway. Sometimes they’re deceiving themselves. And that’s one of the reasons religion is so toxic: it’s based on lies, it teaches that it’s not only okay, it’s a positive character trait to believe in something for which there is no evidence, or even something that is actively contradicted by the evidence.
But even if they didn’t, I would still maintain that if you are basing a belief system on a series of evidence-free fantasies, it’s still not okay. Humans are already prone to spotting patterns where none exist. The last thing we need to do is encourage that tendency.
My pillow is pretty awesome-it gives me the miracle of sleep.
Elephant hatred is just truncated affection. Somewhere, sometime, and elephant rejected him, and it’s led to the sorry state he’s in now.
He’ll never forget the elephant. It was so white, and so delightsome.
Speaking as an experienced and enthusiastic religion-mocker, it really takes a high degree of willful stupidity to mistake what David wrote for mockery of Christians. But then, NWFootslave is one of the most wilfully stupid trolls I’ve ever encountered.
You want to argue about young earth creationism sometime, Slavey? Come on over to Pharyngula sometime and try your hand. I’d lay odds on a total and complete meltdown within 32 hours.
Prove me wrong.

@NWOslave
Maybe I can’t defend Dave from charges of unfairness to Christianity, but please allow me to defend liberalism as a whole.
Here is a whole page of drawings of the Muslim prophet Muhammad, offensive by their very nature. And if you scroll down, you can see that some of them of are as sexual and offensive as the image of the “nun” above. My personal favorite is Muhammad in a revealing bathing suit in front of a gay pride flag.

Nearly all of the people who hang out on that blog and created those images are mainstream liberals. Big ol’ welfare-state lovin’, homosexual coddlin’, feminist, pacifist, Democrat-votin’ liberals.
So there. Prove me wrong.
It gets to the point where NWOslave becomes so self-mocking that there is no need for anyone else to do it.
Holly Pervocracy…
I have to disagree. Either there is a single god, multiple gods, or no god/s. They can’t all be real and true. People can be convinced of one or the other, but that doesn’t make them correct. I’m a staunch atheist, I’m convinced there are no gods, but should it happen that there is one or more deities floating about, then my lack of belief would turn out to be wrong.
That said, there’s nothing wrong with people having wrong beliefs as long as it’s not harmful to other people – reproductive choice and marriage equality being two major examples.
SallyStrange – Billions of religious people would dispute that statement. They really think they have physical evidence. But they’re wrong. They’re being deceived, usually by people who know better and choose to do it anyway.
Ahem. I am a religious person. (I’m not much for organized religion, but I’m a pantheist and believe that existence itself is divine.) I would not like you to tell me what I think and how I got to thinking it.
I think it’s wrong when someone uses religion for evil, but that doesn’t cover every non-physical belief out there. Some people use religion for comfort or to motivate charity.
I agree that one shouldn’t deny or lie about physical reality, but I don’t think there’s proof (or can be proof, which is okay) that physical reality is the only one. I don’t use my perception of non-physical reality to dictate my physical actions and certainly no one else’s, so my belief in the non-physical is harmless. Am I wrong? It’s still harmless.
And not worth being a jerk about.
sallystrange: I have to say, from a significant study of religions, that you are wrong. I’d even go so far as to say it’s an article of faith, based on pattern matching, which doesn’t map to the evidence.
Are religions based on “faith”? Depends on the religion. Some are, some aren’t,
Do they, as a rule, happen to be based on lies, it teaches that it’s not only okay, it’s a positive character trait to believe in something for which there is no evidence, or even something that is actively contradicted by the evidence. ? No.
Are most of them about things which can’t be proven? Yes. Then again, so to is atheism (and no, I don’t hold that it’s a “religion”, I just hold that it’s based on the principle of assuming a negative has been proven; hense is a faith-based belief; as a matter of logic).
The measure of a person is the the things the person does. Are there sects of faiths which are hateful, scornful and foul? You betcha.
But the same is true of any group activity, be it baseball fans, feminists, or stamp collectors.
I will wager there are posters here, who are here; defending equality, because of their faith.
on a semi-related note… okay.. mostly un-related… has nebody else noticed that elephants are rly in lately? o_O Like in terms of necklaces, earrings, pendants… in stores that sell stuff to the teen-20 something crowd… I’ve seen it in Forever 21, I think H&M and accessory stores like Ardene and Claires… o_O Like every so often different things seem to pop up in these things… like hearts are always in, for a while angel wings was and that was awesome (for me) :3 But now it’s elephants which seems kinda weird to me xD
I guess it’s the elephant conspiracy/lobby/agenda at work xD
Elizabeth,
Yeah, I like the non-hierarchical approach of the Friends. I’d join them, if I wasn’t an atheist.
Pecunium,
It takes a while to get past the vow of celibacy, but I’m working on it.
Sally, I agree with Holly on this point. It’s not ok to harshly mock religions for the sake of their religiousosity. Some people do do terrible things (like mock elephants!) in the name of religion, but religion is not inherently bad. Nor can it be proven or disproven. And it’s something that very many people hold as very important parts of themselves. And that’s ok! It dosen’t make then better people, per say, but it dosen’t make them stupid, gullible or worse in any way.
And I’m not saying that religion is some scared elephant that we can’t critique or even make fun of, if we do it in a kind and thoughtful way, but it’s not inherently bad. And accepting people’s religious beliefs is part of accepting a person’s whole person.
And I am a true, blue agnostic who spends a lot of time wondering about the true nature of spirituality. The best answer I have is that the true answer is ultimately unknowable.
It wouldn’t surprise me if Slavey hated elephants; he seems like the type. His failure to address the Elephant Issue is really quite telling.
