All your brains are belong to us

This little gem appeared on my Facebook feed this morning because one of my Fb friends was one of the 1.1 million sheeple (when I saved the image, there were only 1 million) who typed Amen. Here in America we’ve got sheeple coming out our ears. It’s depressing.

I see I was wrong. Only about a half million sheeple typed Amen. The 1.1 million figure is for Likes.

I feel so much better now.

Someone on Fb did catch the misspelling and posted something like this in the comments:

hahaha, Satan misspelled said. AMEN.

to everything like this. I think that they are afraid that it really came from God and if they ignore it, they will join us in hell.

One of these days, I am going to have seen the last one of these before I go off on them. And it will not be responding with "amen".

The "type AMEN" posts I most often see are photos of critically ill or badly injured children. I quickly delete the posts before I type "Type AMEN to what? To your loving god allowing or making this happen?"

The AMEN people make me sick, and regardless of the fact that some of us go back 60+ years, I'm about one more "type AMEN" post from blocking them. Gah!

Yep, I'll bet they really are afraid they'll join us in hell if they don't type AMEN to whatever they're told to on Facebook.

There was one that was so deformed that I reported the post to FB, hoping to get it removed. It was nauseating, it was so sad. They didn't see a problem.

At least they are not asking people to send money...yet.

if it was the same photo I reported to no avail.

I don't understand the purpose of AMEN posts. As you said, so far no one's asking for money.

want both Jesus and Satan to know whose side you're on.

I guess that's the gist of it anyway.

Jesus and Satan read Facebook posts, of course. Jesus followers would all type Amen. Any Facebooker who doesn't type Amen is a Satanist.
