z-Aura Posted December 22, 2006 Share Posted December 22, 2006 Hey, guys, this situation isn't an issue anymore, but before I left the states, I had a member of that church group corner me on a street and try to preach to me. He offered to exorcise me, if you can believe that. I haven't paid any attention to them until now, and all the information I've found to date is so riddled with religious tripe that I can't stomach reading it. Can someone here tell me more about them? Even better, does someone have arguements debunking their arguments using their own religion's handbooks?

Josh Brickman Posted December 22, 2006 Share Posted December 22, 2006 Coma? Church? The former is a brain damage thing and I'm not sure about the later. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Changeling Posted December 22, 2006 Share Posted December 22, 2006 I have had dealing with fanatics as well. They aren't CoMA, but just as fanatical in their beliefs. For several reasons, a radical group, known as Greenwar, wants to make an example of me. If I remember correctly, CoMA is a religious group that believes that all Nova are demons. It is rumored, that they will commit violent acts against Nova. They are fanatics, I doubt you can reason with them. A fanatic will use denial and nihilism in order to maintain their belief system. You would be wasting your time debating with them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mech Posted December 22, 2006 Share Posted December 22, 2006 There's a large congregation in Houston, Texas. I've never had any issues with them, or with any church for that matter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And I thought the 40's were messed up.Quote:You would be wasting your time debating with them.Agreed. If they were worth reasoning with, then they wouldn't be what they are.

Weaver Posted December 23, 2006 Share Posted December 23, 2006 Oh yeah.. these guys...According to them, because I am a nova and often work with Eufiber, I produce "Vestments of the damned spun by the Devil's own." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Libertyne Posted December 23, 2006 Share Posted December 23, 2006 Unfortunately, I've dealt with the CoMA on several occasions, now, always with less than happy results. As their dogma dictates, they certainly seem to hate me, both for being a nova and for apparently running counter to everything they believe. I feel really bad for them. They have such a limited view of this beautiful world and deny themselves so many pleasures in the name of a false security and sense of purpose that, in the end, amounts to nothing. I suppose it's of some solace that they'll never know that their delusions were wrong, which in a way almost makes them true. But the fact that their delusions lead them to do things like kill and spread hate makes their beliefs intolerable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robert J. Lambert Posted December 23, 2006 Share Posted December 23, 2006 I have neverd had much problem with them, they don't come all the way to Oregon I guess. But I hear they are rounding up troops in California...so that might not be true after all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kim 'Frond' Nguyen Posted December 24, 2006 Share Posted December 24, 2006 I research COMA on OpNet. They are suspect in killing of Houston Tornado. That alone make me not wish to meet one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Percivald Posted December 26, 2006 Share Posted December 26, 2006 They are racists. Sort of like a modern-day KKK, I guess. They use religious excuses to justify their racism, as has been done many times in history, but I'd hesitate to classify them as a religious group, whether thay have "Church" in their name or not. I've met a few. Of course, they don't know I'm a nova, so after a few drinks they went into usual racist-speak, blaming novas for absoluely everything you can think of, whether it made sense or not. Distatsteful, but not really strange, and I'm sure a majority of them are mostly harmless, with a very small fanatical violent sector. It tends to be that way.Unfortunate choice of a name, too, really open for bad jokes. Something like "CoMA, just one step away from brain-dead."

z-Aura Posted January 3, 2007 Author Share Posted January 3, 2007 This is most disappointing. While I'd held little hope that they could be persuaded with, I'd at least hoped that they could be intellectually bludgeoned. However, if their shield of religious ignorance can't be pierced without violating the social moral code, then I will avoid them in the future.
