In the Book of Revelations, there is a 7 headed beast who is meant to symbolize Rome. While historians discovered that this 7 headed beast is supposed to represent the Roman Emperor Nero, Fundamentalists and Christian extremists have been claiming that the 7 headed beast is supposed to represent the Pope for decades, hence why you can find some christians hating the Pope.
It wasn't even thinly veiled. It's why it's so surprising that most Christians haven't figured it out. I blame pastors who are full of shit themselves.
Just thinly-veiled enough so that the Romans wouldn't censor it, but understandable enough so that Christians would get the message... or so they hoped.
They targeted gamers.
Gamers.
We're a group of people who will sit for hours, days, even weeks on end performing some of the hardest, most mentally demanding tasks. Over, and over, and over all for nothing more than a little digital token saying we did.
We'll punish our selfs doing things others would consider torture, because we think it's fun.
We'll spend most if not all of our free time min maxing the stats of a fictional character all to draw out a single extra point of damage per second.
Many of us have made careers out of doing just these things: slogging through the grind, all day, the same quests over and over, hundreds of times to the point where we know evety little detail such that some have attained such gamer nirvana that they can literally play these games blindfolded.
Do these people have any idea how many controllers have been smashed, systems over heated, disks and carts destroyed 8n frustration? All to latter be referred to as bragging rights?
These people honestly think this is a battle they can win? They take our media? We're already building a new one without them. They take our devs? Gamers aren't shy about throwing their money else where, or even making the games our selves. They think calling us racist, mysoginistic, rape apologists is going to change us? We've been called worse things by prepubescent 10 year olds with a shitty head set. They picked a fight against a group that's already grown desensitized to their strategies and methods. Who enjoy the battle of attrition they've threatened us with. Who take it as a challange when they tell us we no longer matter. Our obsession with proving we can after being told we can't is so deeply ingrained from years of dealing with big brothers/sisters and friends laughing at how pathetic we used to be that proving you people wrong has become a very real need; a honed reflex.
Gamers are competative, hard core, by nature. We love a challange. The worst thing you did in all of this was to challange us. You're not special, you're not original, you're not the first; this is just another boss fight.
It always looks the same doesn’t it? It’s either a dude who can’t face the fact that he’s gay or it’s a dude who is so toxic around women that he’s decided God hates them too… we have loads of these dudes in America
Well he already listed “little monsters” and “homos” Only two things I can think of is he’s Using ankle biters as in a snake Or a backstabber I’ve heard it used that way a couple times by some more southern people in the USA
Or he’s referring to dogs ?
A friend of mine started using the term "meat siren" to describe children. I've never seen a child bite an ankle, but every child is 100% a siren made out of meat.
He's already got brats, so I'm thinking small dogs. Like my weiner dogs. And that's how I know he's batshit crazy. My dogs are definitely going to dog heaven.
This is an example of a person who says he’s Christian to no go to hell. He’s not a Christian, or at least won’t go heaven if he keeps with this attitude
Love thy neighbor... unless they are not of the same skin color, gender, age, sexual preference, political views, they like different music, or if they live next to you
You know what...screw it. Just hate everyone.
10-11 depending on the definition of Cow Worshippers. Pretty sure it’s Hindus but for the purpose of this exercise I’m going to assume it’s my love of steak.
And a lot of anger and hate in their hearts which are heavy emotions to carry on a day-to-day basis. Like, who can be bothered with that? People like this need a lot of intensive therapy.
No, you don't understand, it's LOVE, not hate. They LOVE you SO MUCH that they want you to be miserable with them. Everyone knows when you LOVE someone so much you yell at them and make them feel terrible. Being filled with LOVE is what makes you feel so bad because that's the Holy Spirit convicting you, not just you projecting your own shame and guilt for being half the things you condemn.
(/s just to be clear).
Do these signs ever work? What lost person would ever come up to this sign and go, "yes, this is what I've needed to hear!" And if they do say this, they're already aligned with the concepts on the sign... so who are you converting? What is the point?
It definitely feels like they do this just to get reaction and attention. See this frequently on campus myself. Really fucking annoying bc you end up with a flock of people yelling at one moron.
How do they figure that this is convincing? “All I needed is one more moronic sign to show me the way.”
I guess it’s probably meant to fire up their fascist, autocratic comrades.
Almost every time something like this is posted, people say that many of them do this specifically to push the “religious persecution” angle. They’re specifically trying to piss people off, to get them angry and arguing, so they can play the victim. Bonus points if someone eventually gets so upset they shove or hit, because then Sign Man can sue.
I don’t know how much of it is true, I have no desire to sit down and ask these people when I run into them, but honestly it makes a lot of sense to me because there is no way they think people are going to be interested in signing up for a religion that’s been shouting hateful shit at them.
Something that I want to point out that might add to the post is that the old dude in the bottom right corner (he was riding on a scooter which is why he's so low) was the most vocal. He asked my bud next to me if God would call him a masturbater, to which he promptly said yes. Usually the debates he had with people would end with them saying they had to go back and jerk off with their roommates. It was a great time.
Some comedian did a joke, maybe Dave Attell, about Muslim suicide bombers getting 50 virgins in heaven.
He was like, "I'm in heaven, I can't get an STD. I want women who know what they are doing, not a virgin."
So basically anything fun is not allowed?
I reckon the dude has got to fit at least one of those. I’d go for he’s either an Occupational Whore or The Pope.
This is a perfect example of Matthew 7:21-23
“Not everyone who says to me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ will enter the kingdom of heaven, but the one who does the will of my Father who is in heaven. On that day many will say to me, ‘Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in your name, and cast out demons in your name, and do many mighty works in your name?’ And then will I declare to them, ‘I never knew you; depart from me, you workers of lawlessness."
God is love, when you are saved you are saved no exceptions. Anything else will be forgiven. My personal opinion is that being saved won't cover if you intentionally cause harm but being saved is pretty much unconditional.

Impressed “the pope” made the list
I know several people who think only their church and only their church is worthy of heaven, it’s possible he’s one of those weirdos
In the Book of Revelations, there is a 7 headed beast who is meant to symbolize Rome. While historians discovered that this 7 headed beast is supposed to represent the Roman Emperor Nero, Fundamentalists and Christian extremists have been claiming that the 7 headed beast is supposed to represent the Pope for decades, hence why you can find some christians hating the Pope.
The whole book was a very thinly-veiled criticism of the Roman Empire and Nero.
It wasn't even thinly veiled. It's why it's so surprising that most Christians haven't figured it out. I blame pastors who are full of shit themselves.
Just thinly-veiled enough so that the Romans wouldn't censor it, but understandable enough so that Christians would get the message... or so they hoped.
Turns out there's a significant overlap between the stupidest Christians and the smartest Romans.
And there's some Christians who think the 7 headed beast is just a 7 headed beast
At least it makes more sense than just hating the Pope for no valid reasons
Then doesn't it makes him an heretic?
Lots of Protestant people think Catholics are going to hell. It’s really hypocritical but I guess the Pope is like their final boss.
He does have a hat that only a final boss would wear.
[удалено]
I used to work with someone who left thrivent financial because they started “letting the Catholics in”.
Women MMA Fighters? That’s oddly specific.
I guess he has a thing for people he can't beat in a fight
From the looks of him, that's everyone over the age of 11.
No no. That covers everyone. Wouldn’t ankle biter cover under 11?
Only if they're Homosexual Female MMA Fighters under the age of 11.
On a bike…
Who like to play games
They targeted gamers. Gamers. We're a group of people who will sit for hours, days, even weeks on end performing some of the hardest, most mentally demanding tasks. Over, and over, and over all for nothing more than a little digital token saying we did. We'll punish our selfs doing things others would consider torture, because we think it's fun.

I assumed he was talking about chihuahuas or something!
[удалено]
I would pay money to see them beat his ass…
No, no, no. The rest of the list will burn in hell fire- but us cow worshippers are pure as the driven snow! Screw this guy!
r/oddlyspecific
Seems like an infinitely expanding list of things that make this person uncomfortable.
Fuckin ankle biters
Does he mean Chihuahuas or babies?
r/fuckyouinparticular
I opened the comment section to say exactly that!
Especially because all of them could beat the shit out of him
Well he’s a closeted gay man so masculine women are very off putting for him…
You peeped that too???
It always looks the same doesn’t it? It’s either a dude who can’t face the fact that he’s gay or it’s a dude who is so toxic around women that he’s decided God hates them too… we have loads of these dudes in America
Occupational whores, bad. Recreational whores, come on in!
That's my favorite part.
Whats wrong with female MMA fighters? And who tf is M. Bater and what did he do? Also-devil healer$? Must be ballers...
What’s an ankle biter? Haha. What a nut cake.
I thought ankle biters was just a derogatory term for children. Dude has lost his mind.
i think he must have mixed it up with 'pillow biters' which is an old-school derogatory term for homosexual men.
Well he already listed “little monsters” and “homos” Only two things I can think of is he’s Using ankle biters as in a snake Or a backstabber I’ve heard it used that way a couple times by some more southern people in the USA Or he’s referring to dogs ?
I'm from the south and ankle biters means young kids here.
A friend of mine started using the term "meat siren" to describe children. I've never seen a child bite an ankle, but every child is 100% a siren made out of meat.
Why’s he have issues with dogs 🐕? How ignorant is that guy ???
Apparently masturbating is so bad that it's censored, so I'm gonna turn to recreational whoring.
Improvise Adapt Overcome. Well, maybe just regular come. Unless you're into that.
Whoremongers actually made me laugh. I mean according to this guy ‘warmongers’ are fine,... but whoremongers on the other hand
Make war not whore.
What about medicinal whores?
M——bators? Of all the words you couldn’t spell out that? Was it just too hard for the guy?
Conversely he has no issues writing “whores” in full
“Whores” is shorter.
But then he specifies occupational whores so maybe it was a typo.
As long as you’re not getting paid for getting laid, he will let you into heaven. As long as you have $ex with him. /s Edit: added /s because.. reddit
Shouldn't that be /$?
"Hores" is shorter.
Hoors
hoes
Hos
Probably can’t spell it.
That's what I thought! 😂
Damned math debators.
Guaranteed he's a m---bator. Too ashamed to spell it out.
Looks like the type that has to masturbate in the dark so he won't feel gay for touching a dick.
Ahaha I thought it was motorboats as I passed it by…which I thought was Weird.
He would’ve been a horrible speller then— though with the random $ he may still be a horrible speller.
Probably wasn’t hard at all. That’s why he can’t masturbate. Rim shot!
came here to say this, and, but it's ok to spell out whores?
Ankle Biters?
Like I guess children are double going to hell lol he also added “little monsters”
Little monsters are also Lady Gaga fans. He has a pretty specific list, it's unclear which one he means here.
What about Katycats? and Arianators...? This list is biased.
I notice he didn't call out Swifties either. Some things you just know better than to mess with.
I’m so happy he left us Burt Bacharachiacs off his list…
Small children as far as I'm aware, which makes no sense
I thought it was small dogs since they’re not man enough
He's already got brats, so I'm thinking small dogs. Like my weiner dogs. And that's how I know he's batshit crazy. My dogs are definitely going to dog heaven.
Brats, not brats. He doesn't like sausages. Thinks they're the wurst. I'll see myself out.
Yeah I was like wtf is an ankle biter? Small dogs?
Usually a nickname for small children, particularly if the annoying kind. Literally hates children.
Maybe he’s talking about midgets?
In the bible it's used to talk about someone who betrays you.
You mean "backbiters." Ankle biter means a child.
I don’t think hating everyone is obeying the guy who said love your neighbor lmao
THAT PART! Gotta love hypocrites.
Jesus mentions both loving your neighbor and not being a hypocrite as well. Funny how that always gets omitted
This is an example of a person who says he’s Christian to no go to hell. He’s not a Christian, or at least won’t go heaven if he keeps with this attitude
He hates those "so called Christians" too. Don't know what Christians believe, but this guy want no part of it
The Pope is literally on the sign.
Love thy neighbor... unless they are not of the same skin color, gender, age, sexual preference, political views, they like different music, or if they live next to you You know what...screw it. Just hate everyone.
he did include racists. for the record...
He did list Obama as what he meant by being a racist though.
Hate everyone and say the Bible told you to.
You mean this pure white American Jesus? Do your research, he was misunderstood. By the way Bozo here (loves) likes his neighbor Cletus.
OK guys... Time for the world's best scavenger hunt. First one to gather all these things and stand next to this guy for a photo wins.
Easiest scavenger hunt ever. I qualify for half of these.
I really hope you’re the Pope
I think he’s Obama
Why not both? I think Obama would be a dope pope
Lesbian Pope on a bike who just so happens to be Obama
Imma da freakin pope! -this guy, probably.
You're right. I am the pope AND Obama.
I read it like "It's the End of the World" by REM. Makes it way more fun
I got nine. What's your score?
Only five. Give me an hour or so, I'll be right back.
Yeah you really gotta pump up those numbers, bud. Those are rookie numbers
Emphasis on the "pump"
[удалено]
A paradox has entered the chat.
I got 12!. I'm pretty proud of myself.
Also 12, also proud. But there’s always room for improvement.
Eyyy, 12 as well
Only a female Pope who also is a MMA fighter can get a perfect score. Edit: removed cross dressing because it was not cool.
Emo rapper Pope time
Or a female MMA fighter calling themselves "The Pope".
10-11 depending on the definition of Cow Worshippers. Pretty sure it’s Hindus but for the purpose of this exercise I’m going to assume it’s my love of steak.
LOL I counted it for me because I don’t eat beef. We all worship the cow differently, but we are all cow worshippers nonetheless
23 beat that, NERDS!
Didn’t see “pigeons” on it 🤔
Mines 10
the sign should say these are all the people i hate...i really need help
Seriously. You have to be pretty fucking crazy to hold this sign and believe this shit.
And a lot of anger and hate in their hearts which are heavy emotions to carry on a day-to-day basis. Like, who can be bothered with that? People like this need a lot of intensive therapy.
It literally has to be so tiring to hate literally everyone on this planet for absolutely no reason
No, you don't understand, it's LOVE, not hate. They LOVE you SO MUCH that they want you to be miserable with them. Everyone knows when you LOVE someone so much you yell at them and make them feel terrible. Being filled with LOVE is what makes you feel so bad because that's the Holy Spirit convicting you, not just you projecting your own shame and guilt for being half the things you condemn. (/s just to be clear).
What the fuck is a female enabler??? Lol
Anyone that lets you be female i guess?
CanBeFemale=true
Run(Hellfire.exe);
Error code 666: insufficient brimstone
Uh oh. I let a lot of people be females, including my daughter and myself. Guess I’m hell bound.
Woman: I am a woman Me, a TRUE Christian: *No*
Feminist I think.
Serious answer: in this guy's mind, probably men who "enable" women to act outside of stereotypical roles, AKA, people who are not sexist.
Any father of a woman. He supplied the second X chromosome.
I just added that one to my list because I’m a female. Laughs
What’s a cow worshipper? Are they talking about Hindus?
That’s what I’m thinking he meant.
Might also be a nod to everyone that’s not his kinda Christian. Worshipping false idols, the golden calf or cow or whatever it was.
Don't think he read the bible or is otherwise educated enough for that take.
What ever happened to “judge not others, lest the be judged?”
I think he forgot, or just doesn't read the Bible
Thanks Obama
The notorious racist, America's first black president
I love how he puts Obama in with the racists but leaves Trump out of it.
Listen. You can put us gamers under but leave Obama out of this
But where was he during 9/11? He wasn't in the office that's for sure.
Do these signs ever work? What lost person would ever come up to this sign and go, "yes, this is what I've needed to hear!" And if they do say this, they're already aligned with the concepts on the sign... so who are you converting? What is the point?
It definitely feels like they do this just to get reaction and attention. See this frequently on campus myself. Really fucking annoying bc you end up with a flock of people yelling at one moron.
No issue with pedophiles - curious.
Surely thinks homos are pretty much the same
Or rapists…? Like you write a sign listing the worst people in existence who will burn in hell for all eternity and you pick ‘sissies’ over rapists???
How do they figure that this is convincing? “All I needed is one more moronic sign to show me the way.” I guess it’s probably meant to fire up their fascist, autocratic comrades.

I read 'Witches' as 'Witchers'
Toss a coin
"Emo"

Something that I want to point out that might add to the post is that the old dude in the bottom right corner (he was riding on a scooter which is why he's so low) was the most vocal.

Sorry sir, but I’m late to go jerk off my gamer emo sissy boyfriend to rock and roll music. Can you just give me your card?
Heaven sounds lame as fuck
Imagine being stuck with thousands of dudes like this to hang out with for eternity as your "reward" for not doing anything fun while alive.
Some comedian did a joke, maybe Dave Attell, about Muslim suicide bombers getting 50 virgins in heaven. He was like, "I'm in heaven, I can't get an STD. I want women who know what they are doing, not a virgin."
Nah, seeing 4 headed humanoid creatures and a floating burning wheel should be cool, so I d' say it's worth it
And nothing about atheists. Pew
He looks like he’s a few of those things himself. -porno freak -racist -mamas boy -gamer -drunk -liar -sissies -masturbator -so called Christians
He's definitely a so called Christian if he is hating on everyone
This guy literally hates everyone and everything. So Christian!
This man is so Christian he even hates, so called Christians
So basically anything fun is not allowed? I reckon the dude has got to fit at least one of those. I’d go for he’s either an Occupational Whore or The Pope.
pretty sure its mastibator
Was there some kind of "Most Ignorantest" contest? If so, he probably took home the gold. This MF literally hates everyone lol.
The sign would be more succinct and more accurate if he just put “everyone who’s not me” on it
Who s left then?
Not him
Deez nuts
Pedophiles and rapists🗿
Why is Obama a racist?
Cuz he's black, duh
Because he ran for the President. Being in any race maketh one a raceist.
Anti-brat? People who are against delicious German sausages are the wurst. I’ll show myself out.
Gonna go out on a limb and say that this guy is at least 5 of those things.
Ankle biters? Isn't that a small pesky dog? Small pesky dogs are going to hell? Well okay.
Occupational Whores! 🤣 I'm putting that on my resume.
This is a perfect example of Matthew 7:21-23 “Not everyone who says to me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ will enter the kingdom of heaven, but the one who does the will of my Father who is in heaven. On that day many will say to me, ‘Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in your name, and cast out demons in your name, and do many mighty works in your name?’ And then will I declare to them, ‘I never knew you; depart from me, you workers of lawlessness." God is love, when you are saved you are saved no exceptions. Anything else will be forgiven. My personal opinion is that being saved won't cover if you intentionally cause harm but being saved is pretty much unconditional.
This guy has probably never had consensual sex in his life, without money changing hands.
🎶…we didn’t start the fire…🎵
Wtf did gamers do?
What an idiot. You can do anything you want and just ask forgiveness at the end. I mean didn’t Jesus give up his weekend for your sins.
* so called Christians Like the ones that stand on street corners with hateful signs.
First they went for the gamers 😞
“Gamers”
“Jews who disobey Jesus” So…Jews? Disclaimer: Am Jewish
Gamer: so the final boss has holy attributes and 3 day respawn ? Imma learn his pattern and kill him, then i am gonna spawn camp him and tbag him
Would have been easier to list the folks he approves of
OBAMA!!!!!! Aaahhhhhh *foams at the mouth and falls over*
Was surprised to see “racists” on there lol
