[Darth Executor]

Um... JP. You just said "Dumbass"

So? It's allowed. Dumbass.

[Manwë Súlimo]

So? It's allowed. Dumbass.

Yet by some arbitrary designation, other's aren't and its forbidden to link to them.

[One Bad Pig]

Yet by some arbitrary designation, other's aren't and its forbidden to link to them.

Nope, not arbitrary. Blame Jaltus.

[Manwë Súlimo]

Nope, not arbitrary. Blame Jaltus.

Oh dear, silly me.

I was just in a stickam discussion with Revsmokedawg and....wow

So basically, he was trying to disprove Gods existence, and another christian (summa37) was giving rebuttals to why his arguments don't work

and then Rev.smokedawg says that summa37's arguments are invalid against his objections because he hasn't given evidence of his worldview.

I think it's a little like anti-spore though. Clues:

JESUS GIVES YOU INFINITE LIFE!
...
Will Right, the guy who made Spore, is a professed Atheist, so he likes to deceive people with so-called "satire" (which is really just an elitist way of saying "lies"... did you know that the word "satire" is really a combination of the words "Satan" and "ire"? It's true, I read it somewhere.) "Satire" like that is only designed to enrage people and confuse the issues, like how in the TV ads for Spore they promote it by asking "Do you believe in Creavolutionism?", which totally confuses people about proper creation science by making them think it's somehow compatible with Evolutionism.
...
Tetris is unwinable, you can only put off your inevitable defeat. This fatalistic aspect of the game should come as no surprise since it was originally created in 1985 in the Soviet Union, where the Atheist government taught everyone that there is nothing but a bleak, pointless existence followed by death with no chance for Salvation. It is claimed that the word "tetris" comes from the game pieces all being made of four blocks. In reality, the game was named in mockery of the Trinity by adding a forth hypostasis, the Communist State, to the Father, the Son, and the Holy Ghost.

[One Bad Pig]

That's gotta be satire.

I actually learned about this from Carrier's blog....it's very old news, but deserves notice here anyway.

For months, it was as if he were invisible.

Richard Pervo, a professor at the University of Minnesota, freely used his e-mail at work to download thousands of images of child pornography, and his digital contraband slipped unnoticed into the torrent of data that roars daily through the school's massive Internet connections.

But Pervo left one stray thread dangling: his university e-mail address.

Investigators at the university and the Minnesota Internet Crimes Against Children Task Force grabbed hold and followed it to the Department of Classical and Near East Studies and through the frosted glass door of Pervo's one-man office. There they found scores of shiny CDs containing child pornography scattered among CDs filled with Christian scholarship and digital Bibles. The hard drive of his school-issued desktop computer brimmed with more child-porn files, along with Pervo's work.

Later, Pervo would tell police, "I was stupid, but this is good. It'll stop me from doing it."

Pervo is a lunatic scholar who thinks that the book of Acts was intended to be understood in light of ancient romance novels, essentially, and dates it to the middle of the second century. Kooky is as kooky does.

[Bill the Cat]

And an apropos last name to boot...

[Mountain Man]

Could his name be any more fitting? It almost reads like satire.

[MarcusAndreas]

And an apropos last name to boot...

I was going to say the same thing.

[ApologiaPhoenix]

I was going to say the same thing.

I'm not sure who to have more concern for here. Mark for thinking like Bill, or Bill for thinking like Mark?

[Little Shepherd]

I nominate this doozy from spauline! 7 days of Creation. 7 main notes on a music scale! How did we never see the connection??? You can check out the full monstrosity here. Just . . . wow.

emember how i've taught that the Creation is catechetical. Two very profound mysteries in this regard are the days of creation in two aspects. First, there are seven days in the week and when you get to day eight, you return to day one. This is like modulo if you have ever taken advanced math: The days of the week are MODULO 7.


We have seen, derivatively that the salvation history is eight ages, from the Fall to the New Creation inclusive.

We have seen that the basic day, which begins with darkness [evening] and ends with light [morning] is a profound metaphor for each of the great stages of Salvation history, first the darkness of sin, followed by the light of redemption.



But further, we have seen that MUSIC, in its intrinsic laws, like the days of the week, veils the very same mystery.

[Little Shepherd]

And more spauline here. Here's a particularly funny bit, I think, emphasis mine.

Therefore, Christ, in HIS CRUCIFIXION, bears the mystery of the sources of Divine Truth in His very body and position!

I will do the fingers later, but let us see what you guys come up with.

Come on, you can do it. Think theologically. Analyze the hand and the fingers and draw parallels between the sources of truth.

Actually defeat in Tetris is only absolutely inevitable (i.e. assuming perfect play) under two conditions:
1. The game speeds up so much that it's impossible to move the piece to the edges of the screen before landing at the bottom. So... just find an implementation that doesn't do that. :p
2. You randomly get a very statistically unlikely set of pieces that do not allow you to complete any rows, thus ensuring your defeat. It's 'inevitable', but about as 'inevitable' as the infinite monkey theorem. But this only applies to 'true' randomness; if a pseudo-random generator that does not produce that sequence is used, you're home free. :p
