Why don't you stop talking? Definitions of represent 1 : to bring clearly before the mind (with that cross podium I think of Christianity) 2 : to serve as a sign or symbol of (he is symbolizing Christians while standing up there) 3 : to portray (I believe he is portraying a Christian preacher?)

Freedom of speach allows this man to talk. The KKK still hold rallies and parades in some parts of the nation. Just because we allow them to speak (we are constitutionally obligated) that does not mean we agree with them. Sure some christians do agree with him. That does not mean he represents the whole group. No person can possibly represent the entire christian faith, not even Jesus suprisingly enough. There are way to many variations of what people believe. ------------- "I AM a crossdresser." -Reb Cpl Forum Vice President RIP T&O Forum |

because he is up there speaking about the christian faith, and pokemon being the devils work, he is trying to portray this to everyone who is willing to listen. he is actively trying to represent the faith and tell you how to worship God. just because you may not agree with what he says does not mean its not what he is doing.

It's called a stereotype. You say emo hair, studded belt, and black converse. I think of this:  Now if you go stand in front a large group of people who agree with what you say, and you say the music I listen to is hardstyle! Now when I see someone that looks the same I now think they probably listen to the same stuff as you. Where as two things may be true. Not everyone who looks like that listens to the same stuff, and not everyone who does listen looks like that. Same goes for this man. He stands up to represent Christians and say Pokemon is the devil. Now people may say "oh Christians think Pokemon is the devil!" when in reality not all Christians think that. ------------- Que pasa?

Uh, NO. He represents, at most, his congregation.
He has no bearing on my congregation. How can he represent me? He is a loud outspoken person, sure. But representative of all Christians? Far from it. Using your logic, Sneaky is right. I declare myself Jmac's representitive, and as such I can say Jmac agrees he is a troll. And he doesn't want to be fed. Wow. This representative thing works great. KBK |

A stereotype and a representative are different Jmac. While he may be a representative of the Christian church that he is associated with, he is not a representative of the overall faith. The KKK claims to be Christian, but I think we can all agree that they are not representatives of the Christian faith. Falwall or some other nut claimed many years ago that the reason Florida was getting hammered by hurricanes because Disney was proteting the rights of homosexuals. I don't think anyone will argue that this is representative of the faith either. Now if you have a large portion of Christianity advocating the same beleifs, than you can make that leap, but not based on one individual. ------------- "When I grow up I want to marry a rich man and live in a condor next to the beach" -- My 7yr old daughter. |

Only people with very small intellects think that one person represents the whole. Especially one person from a Hollywood production. Like you said, this guy isn't oficially representing all of Christianity. So how can you say he represents all of it? He is a spokesperson for part of it. IF you refuse to see that, well see point above. Honestly, all you are doing is sitting in a corner shouting the world doesn't agree with you, so it is wrong.This is the how many'th topic you've done that? You need to brush up on your debating skills. Reading your repetative "Koz I sayz so, whatever you say is irrelivent!!!!!1one1" is getting boring. KBK |

Whether you want to admit it or not, jmac is right on this one. There are ignorant people out there, much like FE who think the radical muslims are the same as all muslims because they have not been exposed to the rest of the muslim community. The only exposure they have to the muslim community is through the news which only talks about the radicals blowing cars and people up. Now, the rest of the non-radical muslim community all say the same thing you are saying now, that the radicals are not a representation of everybody else. Technically, they are right. However, there are still those, like FE who, in their heads, equate the radical sects with the rest of the population. It is in this way that the radicals are, in fact, representatives of all Muslims; not to everybody, and it doesn't have to be an accurate representation, but it is still a representation. The key here is that it does not have to be an accurate representation, which it isn't in this case. You have one sect who is being publicly heard by non-christians. Because he doesn't have a banner or sign or anything else saying that he is of a particular denomination of christianity, the only thing that non-christians know is that he is christian because of the cross-shaped podium he is standing behind. To all of the people who are familiar with christianity, this group is clearly not representative of the entire religion. But, to the outsiders who are only exposed to christianity through people like this, they might make the connection inside their heads that what this one preacher is saying is a widely held belief in christianity and therefore this one group represents all of christianity; not to christians, but to the outside world. Another example, remember what your teachers told you whenever you went on fieldtrips back in school? It probably went something like "Be a good representation of our school." If you go to say, a museum, everyone could behave perfectly, except for a couple kids who go around trashing the place. Even though the vast majority of the kids could be prefect little angels, anyone who recognizes the hell-raisers as being from John Doe Elementary will always make that connection and think that everyone from John Doe Elementary is the same as the few bad ones who got their attention. That is why your teachers told you that; because it only takes a couple people to give the rest of the school a bad reputation through their actions because everyone else will view those few bad ones as representatives of the rest. -------------

Stereotype - 4. Sociology. a simplified and standardized conception or image invested with special meaning and held in common by members of a group In this case the simplified and standardized conception or image invested with special meaning is that all christians are afraid of pokemon. The group that holds the view in common is those who are not familiar with christianity. They used this one congregation as a representation of all of christianity in forming their stereotype. People use what they know(pokemon preacher) as a representative of the larger group (christians) to form their stereotypes. While that one preacher isn't a representative in the sense of an elected or appointed official tasked by all christians to represent them, he is still a representative of christians in the way I posted above. This group its self is not a stereotype, but representative of christianity that people may use to form stereotypes. He could be a basis for a stereotype, but is not the stereotype himself. He is the representative used to form the stereotype. Running out of ways to phrase that. -------------

I just skipped most of jmac's posts and skimmed yours, so if you were also saying that this preacher is not representative of Christianity and that type of silly evangelical preaching is a stereotype or blanket view to the ignorant of what Christianity believes in, rather then a legitimate representation, then sure. I will agree though, that this man is a fair representation of the particular branch of Christianity he preaches for. ------------- Real Men play Tuba [IMG]http://img89.imageshack.us/img89/1859/newsmall6xz.jpg"> PH33R TEH 1337 Dwarf! http://www.tippmann.com/forum/wwf77a/log_off_user.asp" rel="nofollow - DONT CLICK ME!!1 |

...So do you or don't know know the difference? You've asserted that he is a representative of Christianity. And yet you've said that only people who don't know the difference believe that. The only logical solution is that you know that you don't know that there's a difference..? The alternatives are that you're just kind of slow, or that you're deliberately troling (and succeeding), but committing the unforgivable forum sin of failing to amuse. Trolling religious folks CAN be funny if a) they're SRSBUSINESS! enough and b) you do in in a funny way, but so far you're swinging and missing... ------------- "Abortion is not "choice" in America.

Brihard, I know he is not what all Christians are like. This does not change the fact that to others he is seen as what Christians are. Why is that so hard to understand? Him standing on TV as a Christian and publicly doing stupid things makes people think that is what Christians do. Some examples: Go to a sporting event. Sit next to a rude/rowdy fan. Now I would know that he isn't what all fans are like. Someone else might sit next to him(maybe from another state rooting for the away team) and be like "OMG THAT TEAM'S FANS ARE ALL A-HOLES" Or how about someone like FE? Yes we know he isn't what all Republicans are like, but people like him gives Republicans bad names. In fact Sneaky I am pretty sure you have said as much. If FE isn't what Republicans are like, how is he giving them bad names? ------------- Que pasa?

Then by your logic, your posts here make all Americans look like idiots who can't debate a point in a coherent manner. Fortunately I know that not to be true. So then what you really mean to say is that him standing on TV and saying stupid stuff makes stupid people think that all Christians are like that.. You started out by saying 'yes he does' in response to the matter of 'does he represent all Christians?'. You can't suddenly go back and put caveats on your statement retroactively without admitting that you've contradicted yourself. ------------- "Abortion is not "choice" in America.

The school outing comparison is false.
They want you to be a good representative of your school. You are easily identifiable as a school member if you are wearing a uniform (there are schools that require that) and the people at the location will know which school you represent. You do represent them because you are directly attached to the school. However! you do not represent schools as a whole. Like this guy is identifiable as a Christian, of a certain sect. Thus he only represents that sect. He can not be said to be a representative for, or represent Christianity as a whole. Shoot even the POPE doesn't get that honour. There ARE something like 300 registered different versions of Christianity. It's like saying the fans of the Cowboys are representative of the Edmonton Oilers fans. Only stupid people believe in stereotypes. If you are ignorant, yet clever, you will change your point of view when exposed to new information. |

I think I agree with the opposition to jmac's motion. I'd like to add my own argument, jmac is fat, therefore he's wrong. I see this to be a logical conclusion given the facts presented in this conversation. Now, if anyone would like to write the exact title of the video and the youtube account that posted it, I would be very much appreciative of the effort. See, youtube is banned by the idjits that run Turkey, so I need to go through a specially designed proxy to see videos, which requires me to search for what I need. Thanks. -------------

So I just watched the video. I don't know how old this is, but doesn't it look like they've all been left behind in the late 80s or something? This guy just seems angry at the world and is reaching at anything to interpret in stupid ways. This is especially obvious when he starts listing things like video games and rock music and the internet. He strains to think of something else that's either on his list of demonic crap or anything else he can think of. It's sad to see his followers are not only still there but nodding their heads in agreement. -------------
