April 2008 Screwballs

[Mountain Man]

I'm not sure whether to laugh at or be disturbed by people who believe that garbage....

From the site:

"The reason why they pass the offering plate at church is because God is imaginary."

Wow... Just... Wow...

My favorite was his example of what he thinks Jesus should have done and written in order to prove his was God:

Yeah, I'm sure the ancients would have really been impressed with predictions that wouldn't come about for another 2000 years.

yeah, that was amusing. Just another case of Chronological Snobbery. Even if God did do what he said, there's gonna be more skeptics whining about the same subject 2000 years from now. What I get a kick out of the most is that, Instead of accepting the miracles that happened back then, they want a trillion page book that has predictions till the end of time. [And they think WE'RE irrational ]

Oh, and Amnouy gets nominated for this post....

Well actually probably more like prosperous, well educated societies like Sweden 85% atheist, Denmark 80% atheist, Norway 72% atheist, Japan 65% atheist, France 54% atheist, South Korea 52% atheist, Britain, Netherlands and Belgium 44% atheist, etc, etc.

Interesting that NO African nation makes the list of top 50 atheist countries given that few of them are Utopian in the slightest… but religion is flourishing in Africa like nowhere else. Hmmmnn!

And, by human rights I take it that you are NOT referring to the USA’s slaughter of 20 million Native Americans in its glorious drive westward, the grossly disproportionate distribution of wealth, or the percentage of blacks in prison in comparison with whites? Thought not!

It's like they expect a big message to show up in the sky someday saying "Hi. I'm YHWH. I want to be your friend."

Jimbo's at it again....

He posts this link in his newest thread....

And here's a link to his newest thread:

It gets worse... I just hope that John Loftus hasn't been rummaging through the screwball thread looking for material for his blog....

I wouldn't say he's above that.

And I'll have to remember the comments about that entry next time John calls us a bunch of "Sniveling Yes Men for JP" or something along that line.

It's like they expect a big message to show up in the sky someday saying "Hi. I'm YHWH. I want to be your friend."

These are the same people who want a 3 trillion page Bible rather than doing their homework and being content with what they find.

so I guess this wasn't good enough for him?

[The Curtmudgeon]

Okay, so I'm forum-tarting again, but I found some real gems over in a thread on The Other Theology Website. The thread in question starts with the following post:

Which country is Babylon the Great and why? - March 15th, 2008, 11:30 AM

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Off the top of my head I will state that Babylon the Great is the United States of America. I have not researched the question enough however so as to be able to defend why I believe Babylon the Great to be the United States of America.

Regardless of your beliefs about Babylon the Great, to make a statement like "Babylon the Great is the United States of America," and then in the very next breath admit that you have no justification for doing so, is just plain Screwie.

A few posts down, we find:

During the Apostles time and some time before, Babylon was one of the twelve tribes of Israel.
By that time, the ten tribes of Israel had taken, and settled in many of the Gentile nations.

And he reinforces that a few more posts down the thread:

Babylon was Babylon, the “Babylonian Empire”, was ruled by one of the Tribes of Israel by the time of the Apostles. The King of Babylon was an Israelite.
That’s MY FAITH, because my God teaches such things.

I was roaming the Internet, going to and fro in it, when I came across a complementarian nutjob (note: I do not believe that all complementarians are nutjobs, just this one). Here is what he said:

MK and Lizzie, you are not nice smiling Christians who honor the Word of God, but in a different way than the rest of us, but rather deceivers spreading rebellion against the Holy God and His Word. Of course, I could write this in such a way as to make everyone feel like we could continue to be all warm and fuzzy with each other, but then I'd be proving myself indifferent toward my Heavenly Father Who is jealous for His honor and Word. So my affect, here, must match my doctrine.

Thus you are both to be silent on this blog on any matters in which you seek to lead immortal souls into the rebellion you yourselves have chosen, denying God's creation order of the sexes.

This blog is not a salon or living room, but a table of fellowship where those fomenting rebellion against the Master of the house are silenced. And this is out of love, both for the fomenters and those who were in danger of becoming their dupes.

Every college, university, publisher, and major media outlet across the western world, including those claiming Christian foundations, provides a soapbox for your heresy. You'll shouldn't notice the loss of one rinky-dink blog.

What is the issue?
Gay marriage?
Abortion?
The Divinity of Christ?
The Resurrection?
Salvation by faith or by works?
Sorry, none of the above. It's women in ministry!
He also censors. For what reasons?
Pornography?
Cuss words?
Hate speech?
Wrong again!

Loving God, His Word, and His people, I've removed some of what MK wrote here since it is untrue, directly contradicting God's Word. David and I have no obligation to allow destroyers of souls ready access through this blog to our precious brothers and sisters who hunger and thirst after God's Truth. Such destroyers have the whole rest of the internet to ply their trade; they don't need this puny little forum for an outlet.

Translation: You disagreed with me, therefore I'm not listening!

Parrot714 thinks it is sinful for a child to read...

A child would never read any translation. Reading is like a speech, it is an unnecessary link, it is for adults.Even if a baby could read a dictionary, it would be a sinful baby, a baby abandoned by its Creator.

[TolkienFan]

Wow! Child literacy is discouraged huh? This is why you vote Solid Snake as AotM. He'll make sure all children will be able to read and understand Shakespeare by the time they're 10.

[DoomRater]

These people hurt my head. Moreso than the Sheezy group.

[Brandalf85]

Hmm..I am going to read my kids my parodies every night. Put that in your bad argument and get screwballed for it!!!

Then they'll be saying words like "Utini" and "smurfy" while everyone else says "huh?".

Of course, I'm assuming LOTR and all of Tolkien's other works will be on your children's curriculum right?
