Remeber that all shipmates believe in a literal interpretation of the whole bible, so there are points for working this fact into your posts. Extra brownie-points for posts which imply that anyone who believes in evolution is stupid, especially if completely irrelevant to the thread.

Constantly tell shipmates how much you love them. Stupid or misguided they might be, it matters not a jot. You love them to pieces now and always.

If you find you're losing an argument the appropriate course of action is to leave the Ship. You are not permitted to do this without starting a thread in hell explaining why the hosts are evil and naming shipmates who you believe are not in the Lamb's book of life.

Always defer to the Shipmate with the lowest member number. They have obviously been here longer and are far wiser than you are. Especially if that number is "2".
Except for those who bought their lower number. They know who they are.

Communicating prophecies vouchsafed to you personally by the Holy Spirit/Risen Lord/Virgin Mary is always well received.
Pointed application of the same to shipmates can easily be combined with general apocalyptic intimations ('ye generation of vipers' comes in handy here).
In short, nothing raises your standing on the Ship faster than a hotline to the Deity (and His immediate associates).

If you come across the notorious "let's offend" thread in the circus *ick* then be sure to condemn the trash who post such slanderous filth on it, and start a hell thread about how blind the hosts were to it. Then apologise with something like "Don't worry, hosties, just thought I'd save you the trouble-I know it's hard to do your job properly, but I'm here now, and I can help. God bless Erin! ![[Smile]](smile.gif) ![[Biased]](wink.gif) ![[Razz]](tongue.gif) ![[Cool]](cool.gif) ![[Angel]](graemlins/angel.gif) ![[Yipee]](graemlins/spin.gif) ![[Votive]](graemlins/votive.gif) "

- Certain posters have little weight or bearing on the life of the Ship. Feel free to ignore and disparage these people. They include Erin, Simon, Josephine, Sarky Cow, Dolphy, Pyx_e...
amongst others.
- Give us updates from your blog - we loooove reading blogs , and find they really help keep the discussion moving...

Make sure you apologize for your double posts, even though people know those mostly happen through accident. But apologize anyway. Lots of times.
Then start inane arguments with shipmates over minutae, such as asking Campellite when he'll realize pork is not BBQ, beef brisket is.

When replying, do not, under any circumstances, post anything remotely relevant to the OP or the title of the thread.
When you create new threads (which you should be doing at least as often as your reply to other threads), make sure your title is completely cryptic, and unrelated to your OP.
Correct every spelling and grammatical error in other people's posts. Such errors indicate that the poster is really very stupid, but by you always pointing them out, other posters will have a chance to get smarter. Consider it your Christian duty.

Remember that posting in heaven is always light and fluffly, so say whatever you like about other there, as no offence will be taken. If you want to be especially forthright in your attempts to help other shipmates, make sure you include the smilie.
If you find that Erin is failing to understand your contributions to the ship, you can always take it up with David, who will listen patiently to your complaints about Erin.

Above all, remember that Ship of Fools is not a "real" community, it's just a ragbag of pathetic, self-important wankers terrified of RL and incapable of any real social interaction. Make sure you treat the people here with contempt and dismiss any points they try to make as juvenile and worthless.
Now, here's a little-known secret: Treat everyone who completely agrees with you as your new best friend. Anyone who disagrees with you, even by the slightest, is your enemy, thus to be attacked repeatedly.
Make double sure to never, ever address the points made by the counter-attackers and accuse them of the very thing they're accusing you of.
Works every time.

Be personally offended when someone criticizes something about a group you belong to or even something about another individual in your group: men, women, Anglo-Caths, Con-Evos, Yanks, Brits, Aussies, Canadians, RCs, Chrismatics, Orthodox, clergy, tat queens, alt worshippers, lawyers, health workers, teachers, engineers, or people with any kind of physical infirmity. The opportunities for personal offence are endless and one can remain comfortably in a constant state outrage with almost no effort at all.
My own personal favorite is getting POed at people who DARE tell people of my gender what kind of vocation to have or not have. Nevermind that I myself would not for a moment consider myself suitable for any of the positions whose criticism sets me off. ( ![[Hot and Hormonal]](icon_redface.gif) mea culpa)

The bible was dictated to it's writers as the KJV; therefore it is also far more reliable than the older greek and hebrew texts, which we were only given to test us.

If you can't think of anything new to say, just copy and paste something someone else posted elsewhere. No one will notice.
Also, If a discussion has developed from where it started, it should always be brought back to the topic of the OP by repeating stuff that was said near the start of the thread.

Remember that the 'back button' on your browser has no use, and that you do not have any ability to select on which threads you participate, or to skip those in which you are not interested, or to not read contributions from those you find troubling. Then, when you return to a thread which contains views with which you disagree or find upsetting (apparently there is a law somewhere that you must do so), go into a rant, accuse the people who are discussing a matter of every ill in the church going back to the first century, and, most important of all, post at length, with great online sobbing and many smileys, 'hosts! close this thread!'
If you begin a thread, and one respondent has answered with information you find useful, ask that the hosts close the thread at once before any discussion can proceed.

Choose your new thread topic with care. Make it about some highly significant local event, politician, community value or similar. But don't give any identifying clues as to the whereabouts or context of you or the post. It is always fun to make other shipmates guess as to what/who is pressing your buttons. Even if no-one but you has heard of them before.
Should they guess incorrectly, and display their ignorance because they are from another country, teach them right from wrong by denying the validity of their country, experience, skill or knowledge. Express stunned amazement that their life journey, in another culture, is different from yours.
Particularly deny the existance of many time zones on the earth. Always expect prompt answers on your thread, and forget that half of the Ship is actually asleep as you type. After all, if we really, really, really cared about you we would stay up day and night to post on your thread.

Never apologise. Ever, after all, you're chosen by The Lord, to tell us all how screwed we are.
BTW-PM's are a great way of personalising your message of hope. Get a document sorted, copy and paste into a PM, send it, and voila, Erin, RooK and RuthW all know just how much you love them, God loves them, and just how damned they are if they don't repent immediately.

Should anyone post something you do not agree with, it is probably because they have not read your favorite book, and would immediately receive enlightenment should they do so.
If, for example, there is a thread on the importance of preserving worship traditions, be sure to post a link to books that counter such foolish thoughts, such as Sacred Cows by Bill Easum, or this one by Michael Foss or just about anything by John Shelby Spong.
Once they see how widely you are read, and read some of your favorite books, they will of course realize how foolish their deeply held beliefs have been.

It is important to remember that all material available on the internet is freely available for use. So if someone else makes your point well, copy a large chunk from their site into your post.
Similarly, most shipmates don't get emails, so anything you recieve via email that might uplift other shipmates should be pasted into a post.

Brother KenWritez, in all Christian charity and love, may I remind you that unless it has a curly tail and a squeal, it cannot be BBQ. Those beef dishes may be quite delicious, and I might even ask for seconds, but it is not BBQ.

If somebody does not agree with you, it is only because they are not listening.
And be sure to do a "Good-bye Cruel World" Speech more than one time. The 2nd time around is better, 3rd time around is a charm. People will delight in you coming back and kvetching some more!
Be sure to talk about those stupid Yankees, Limeys/Poms, Cheese-Eaters, Vegemite Eaters, Don Cherry Lovers or whomever you are diss-pleased with. Diss diss diss is all you need to do in hell!
Be sure to feel whatever Part of Christianity you belong to gives you super powers...and that the whole ship will agree with whatever you say! Even if it is $@*7ing! stupid. Since this board has a lot of Liberals, it is ok to bash all conservatives and go on wild tangents with tin foil hats. If you are Conservative, make sure you try to belittle everyone in their belief systems. Then bring your friends from another board and see if you can stir the pot.

And be sure to carry dead horse arguments onto other threads.
If someone who is gay wants to find a gay friendly parish or a holy union liturgy, make it your duty to remind them that the are a uniquely evil sinner and that cannot be a Christian if they think differently. Or if a woman is seeking help in discerning a call to ordained ministry remind her that Paul tells her to shut up and know her place.
Prooftext liberally.

Always assume that everyone knows exactly what you mean, no matter how badly you express yourself in writing.
Be sure to use "all" "nobody" "everybody" "always" "never" a lot for dramatic effect. Throw in a lot of very broad generalizations (crosspond wars are very popular on the Ship). Everyone knows what you meant. Anyone who takes you at your word (and/or doesn't understand what you meant) is just being a big meanie head and picking on you. (And picking on you because they're down on men/women/liberals/conservatives/whatever you are.)

2) Losing weight for fatties
3) Capitalism
4) Socialism
5) DEAD HORSE SUBJECTS (please, DO ignore the dead horse area...do not graze around there and get caught up with things).
Oh, do make a point of saying "I did not bother to read this entire 18 page thread before posting since what i have to say is too important for me to keep it to myself, but what you all have discussed is too unimmportant for me to even peruse." MAKE SURE you post something after saying that that somebody else has written already!
Oh, and when you do get to posting in hell, feel free to be irrational and not have any point to any debate in hell. Just cuss a lot and say nasty things, then you'll be cool!
Remember, you need to be cruel to be kind!
Quote entire posts (the longer the better) and then make a one- or two-sentence response to something somewhere in the middle.
