Shockofgod

"Oh by the way, atheism is a bunch of crap. So let's go this way. Here we go... Woohoo! You guys have gotta get a motorcycle." - Shock, being a dick as usual.

I'm going to start off by introducing Shockofgod himself; after all he's responsible for the whole mess so we might as well know what we're dealing with here.

Shock's interests seem to be limited to motorbikes, violent video games and Jesus. Quite what the Prince of Peace would make of an obsession with re-enacting the battle of Falluja in Modern Warfare 2 I'm not sure, but never mind. Shock doesn't seem to see a contradiction.

Shock's religious beliefs - often explained in a shaky voice while he rides around on his bike - are the truly frightening thing about him. He subscribes to all the standard fundiementalist ideas such as biblical inerrancy, creationism and America being a christian country (a belief which I'm sure would surprise Thomas Jefferson.) He also has very strange ideas about women, claiming that women in non-christian countries are oppressed and fearful of rape while in christian America their rights are protected (unless they want control of their own bodies, of course.) He has a particular hatred of atheists and repeatedly spouts crap about how atheists are all communists and worship Satan. His favourite catchphrases are "Atheism is madness!!!" and the glorious redundancy of "Provide proof and evidence that atheism is true and correct!!!"

Despite his frothing religiosity Shock isn't above using criminal deception. On one occasion he set up a fake YouTube page to phish the passwords of visitors to his channel. He has also quote-mined obscenities written by a christian and directed at atheists and claimed that they were insults aimed by atheists at himself. He nearly had his chatroom shut down for falsely telling an internet user that GVO, the chatroom company, was taking legal action against him - an accusation that certainly surprised GVO.

One of C.S. Lewis' tedious apologetics claimed that Jesus must be either "Liar, Lunatic or Lord" (missing out the possibility that Jesus might simply have been wrong.) Shock isn't Lord, but he's certainly a liar and a lunatic.
