ENOUGH WITH THE JESUS SHIT
JESUS FUCKING CHRIST
YOU DON'T NEED TO POST A PICTURE OF YOUR FUCKING SAVIOR IN EVERY SINGLE THREAD EVEN RESEMBLING CHRISTMAS
STOP THAT SHIT ALREADY

thank you.

its not really that bothersome is it? no more so than say.. sig images appearing over and over in threads... and even then you dont know which ones. at least its only in christmas threads.. jesus hanging out.

I think it is, and I'm sure many other people would agree with me.

but why more so? its just jesus.

i got a nice scarf and some vouchers to buy music. These are the core elements of my happiness

1) He's not even adding anything to the discussion. He's just posting a jeebus picture and a stupid quote at the end.
2) he's just doing it because he thinks he's jesus himself.
3) it's RELIGION, which should not be discussed EVER on message boards. I don't like religion being shoved down my fucking throat around ANYONE, and I'm sure the majority of people would agree with me on this. I don't care who you are, don't cram your shit down my throat.
4) he's been doing it so much lately. Almost every single day since the 1st of December.
5) I have freedom of expression.
