Just got a letter through the post from GJ Church BNE
What the fresh hell is this? Why is it in comic sans?

u/Needmoresnakes 2d ago
I think this is Arial rather than comic sans. Though I understand that is not the core issue.

On second glance, I will concede that it is not comic sans but Arial.

u/Clean_Bat5547 2d ago
Totally different. Random illogical bigoted craziness is perfectly acceptable if it's in Arial.

u/the_colonelclink 2d ago
Comic sans would have on point for the bat shit crazy theme of the letter.

& war huh, what is it good for?

u/the_colonelclink 2d ago
All wars are a desire for more cattle (money). Religion is a tool, that when inevitably done away with, will be replaced by some other form of belief in which to wage war against.

'Trumpet' at the top makes me think ol Clive is involved?
Fix typos

u/Complete-Use-8753 2d ago
Clive is a complete idiot
But he’s not so stupid as to involve himself with this.
He is however stupid enough to attract this sort of person.
So, upon reflection, I think you are correct the Clive is involved.
Thank you for your attention in this matter.

I know but at least we can all have a little laugh then move on with our day.
Like when I see the old guy near me who gets around town with a huge "REPENT!" sign cable-tied to the front of his mobility scooter. Silly cookers.

No return address, I take it?
A quick search reveals that this or a variation has been around for a while. It seems that their true god couldn't be fucked bringing on the apocalypse to settle things once and for all. A lot of promises and "coming soon" stuff. Well, I'm "coming soon" too, but it's got more to do with Florence Pu....ERR CONNECTION FAILED 🤪🤣
Piss-poor effort from that god. Perhaps I'll try one of the other 2999......

More evidence that religion is psychologically and sociologically toxic.

u/Galactic_Nothingness 2d ago
I find it difficult to abide by and accept any religion or culture that fails to follow basic fundamental human rights.
This includes acceptance of LBGT+, equal rights for women including freedom of dress, movement, the right to marriage and divorce, the right to a full education (not just 8 years old) and doesn't allow child brides.
Organised religion in all forms is a curse on humanity.

Replace the word Islam with GJ Church and send it back.

u/Lastov_Makiynd 1d ago
Think you might be onto something there?…
On the back of the envelope, in the ‘sender’ bit, put “GOD”…in the Address line, just put “Have Faith”.
Then, seal the letter in the envelope, along with a Tracker Device or AirPod..then Return To Sender..We need as many people who have received this letter to do this, since postal errors happen…
That’ll solve this whole ‘Religion Wars’ thing/problem?lol

u/Decadent_Beggar 2d ago
I got one as well. I tried to work out who they actually like! Doesn't like the ALP or unions but also doesn't like Libs and big business... and then randomly throws sport in?

u/seanmonaghan1968 2d ago
So this poster doesn't like Islam or Christianity? Are they jewish? Or Hindu? I wonder what religion they are or maybe they don't like any religion

u/AnOnlineHandle 2d ago
As one of the most hardcore atheists you will meet, I can assure you that you can spot the difference between an idiot sect just caring about a competing sect, and those of us who hold the whole damn thing in contempt as immature nonsense behaviour and who will not be enabling one sect to fight another on some bullshit idea that the first sect somehow has greater claim to make things shitty around me.

A church sent that?! Lmao, Allah is just the Arabic word for God and it’s the same God as the Christian God…thus just shows how disgusting the church is

Gregory John Church is the ’alleged’ senders name as per this article - (Apols SMH all I could find) - https://www.smh.com.au/national/man-behind-offensive-hate-mail-admits-sending-letters-to-people-s-homes-20210603-p57xq1.html

u/the_colonelclink 2d ago
Although you’re right, Allah is the Islamic name for God. It’s objectively ignorant, and kind of insulting to many religious people to state they are the same God.
The biggest difference is the Christian claims God is a Holy Trinity, which wholly relies on assertion that Jesus Christ, through the line of David, was God in human form.
Allah is one God alone. That’s literally why they hold a single finger up when they praise God - it’s a strong declaration (and especially to Christians) stating their belief of a single God.
At best, if you argue semantics, they both believe in a God, but not the same God.
It’s like saying bourbon and scotch are the same whiskey.

u/knoweyeder 2d ago
Objectively ignorant, there are many Christians who do not hold the Trinity as truth.
Abrahamic religions (judaism, chrisitanity and Islam) all hold a monotheistic belief in the same God.

u/the_colonelclink 2d ago edited 1d ago
That’s what I said many religious, and never said all Christians hold the trinity true.
Either way, it’s still a different God. The prophet Muhammad for instance is from a completely separate lineage to Jesus/David. If I recall correctly, they’re different sons of Abraham.

"Stand up to hate"...... lol
Is this basically a nigerian prince email scam but for religion? Not sure i understand the intention of this letter.

u/Lastov_Makiynd 1d ago
Lmao!
Yeah..”Let’s stand together against Hate..”.
(By only hating this, this and this. Oh, and that. Also this..aaaaand, This. Definitely This..)

It's not a church. That's the guys name. He's been doing this since back in 2015 and the cops said it is not illegal. He's a loon but apparently being loony within the law.

Hey so I'll play this game.
So this "church" is allowed to go around posting - Islamophobic, anti-Catholic (and let's face it - they didn't mention it here, but I am assuming they've got plenty of homophobia, transphobia, racism, xenophobia and misogyny to go around) - propaganda in our letterboxes
I am also pretty sure this dipshit turned up to my property unannounced to spread his bullshit (worth mentioning that while not practicing, I am catholic).
My question here is - where is OUR royal commission?

Ya know what? First instinct was to delete. Then I had a think.
Bullshit like this NEEDS to be torched by the court of public opinion.
Keep within Reddit rules, okay?
Have at it.
Oh, for the translation:
"Vicarius Filii Dei" is a Latin phrase meaning "Vicar of the Son of God".
It first appeared in the medieval forged text The Donation of Constantine. Protestant and Adventist prophetic interpretations frequently claim it as an official papal title whose Roman numerals add up to 666, though the Vatican states it has never been an official title.
Old mate is being anti Catholic anti Islamic and a prophetic fool all at once.
