Christians and Copyright Infringement

Christians love the Ten Commandments.  They want us to believe that American Jurisprudence is based on them.  They want their beloved Ten Commandments plastered in courthouses throughout the nation.  They want their Ten Commandments to be taught in public schools.  They have their slogans stating that "The Ten Commandments aren't suggestions."  They then pick and choose which ones to follow and try to create loopholes in order to avoid strict adherence. 

Momma Moonbat could bark for days about how Christians disregard that which they would inflict upon the rest of us, but today I'll be contented to just bark about the Eighth Commandment - Thou Shalt Not Steal.  Someone must have forgotten to tell the fundies that theft of intellectual and copyrighted property is nonetheless theft.  In fact, it's a specialized brand of theft that has it's own name - plagiarism, and also copyright infringement. 

I'm barking about the fundies and their obnoxious ripping off of corporate logos and slogans to fit their agenda.  Unless they have specific permission from the corporations in question, it looks like copyright infringement to me.  The one that most recently set me off was some douchebag on Facebook whose profile picture was a bastardized Autobot logo.  The logo had that wretched execution device right smooth square in the middle.  To add insult to injury, the name Transformers was also bastardized and turned into Transformed.  I was livid!  Just look at what they did.

The Bastard

Optimus Prime is a god in his own right.  Just look at him.  He's a mack truck than can transform into a big sonuvabitch with a big gun - a genuine badass. This is not some control-freak, brain-washing smartass pussy.  This is an ass whoopin' looking for a place to happen.

I wasn't surprised.  It's par for the course for fundies.  They've been ripping off all of the other pantheons of the world since Abraham, so why shouldn't they continue to do it?  Well, for starters because if they truly practice what they preach, they won't steal.  I guess that not stealing business only applies when it's their stuff getting swiped and not them doing the lifting of the goods.  I've called a few of them out on this before.  The responses are dumbfounding.  It is amazing how childish adults become when it comes to their religion.  I believe there is some passage in their bible about becoming like a child, but really, the whole my god can beat up your god thing.  Ack...gag...hairball...  Where was I?  Oh, yes, the responses I get when I call them out for stealing copyrighted material.  "Everything belongs to gawd."  "It's not stealing if you take if for gawd."  "You just hate gawd.  I'll pray for you."  No, not everything belongs to your skydaddy.  If your skydaddy didn't work for it, didn't pay for it, and it wasn't willingly given to him, it's not his.  I don't care who you're taking it for, if it's not yours, you're stealing it.  I don't hate that which does not exist.  I only hate those who spend a lifetime trying to make me bow before that which does not exist.  Pray for me if it makes you feel better, but quit stealing copyrighted material. 

Aside from the fact that they're going against their own rules to take someone else's intellectual property, it cheapens their religion.  Putting your execution device on a cartoon character - really?  Is that the best you can do?  Can't you get your own PR people to come up with something ORIGINAL for a change?  I mean, after a few thousand years, I'd hope that one of you somewhere would have an original thought.

Holy Shit.  You can do it.  Ex Lax can help.  Oh, and I almost forgot...FUCK THE SPOOK!

I fear that if Sarahcuda ever sees the Oval Office, this actually will become the POTUS's seal.

This one just offends me.  As a blood donor who is married to a blood donor and who has raised her little moonbats to be blood donors, this is insulting.  I don't know what I find to be more offensive - the stealing of the Red Cross logo or the slight to those of us who give of ourselves and ask for nothing in return.  How's this, fundies - how about the next time you or one of your loved ones needs a blood transfusion or plasma or any blood product, go get you some of the above-illustrated donor blood?  Let's see how far that goes.  What's that?  You'll pray and he'll send you a donor?  Bullshit.  The challenge was to get the specific donor to give you some blood.  Let's see how many lives that REALLY saves.

And if you go under, let's see him water walk his ass on over and get you.

If an illustration of monkeys flying out my ass became the new popular logo, would they bastardize it to have jesus flying out my ass?  Never mind.  Don't answer that.
