September 2011 Screwballs

[Benson Shays]

Not for that, no, since he (and Wells, and Doherty) at least make the effort to make a case historically using (or misusing, as the case may be) accepted historical method and sources. The fundy atheist mythicist will typically just appeal to some 19th century freethinker, or Acharya S.

Ah. I wasn't aware of the distinction. I always, perhaps wrongly, grouped the Christ Mythers into one pile of failure based on their conclusion.

The other type of Christ myther is rare but prominent. One possible sign of such is that they may attack the FA type of Christ myther. Robert Price straddles the fence in that regard but is virtually a FA on other accounts. And of course someone can be a FA in one area and not in another.

I can't link to his post about, because Vox Day is rather expressive in his outrage, but he notes that the National Science Foundation spent US$762,372 to study ................
















wait for it














interpretive dance.

And apparently the project is only around 50% complete.

I like this one bit he said:

It's long past time for the separation of science and state.

Quick! Someone put a thread up for this on Civics.

Wait a sec... this should all be on the political screwballs thread!

"Tim," on AP's blog, deserved a screwball for essentially being the theistic version of little_monkey.

*Condescending response explaining that you're too stupid to spend your own money on the true engine of progress.

Well, obviously science has determined that interpretive dance is the ontic referent to ground objective morality in an atheistic universe.

Good point, hadn't thought of it.

Didn't you see the episode of Family Guy where they have that school play where God explains his intentions via the medium of interpretive dance?

Somehow, I suspect DJ is behind it.

Speaking of that eminent scholar, he's now shilling his foolish views of slavery to newspapers:

there was a day when American Slavery was easily justifiable by texts like Leviticus 24:44-45.

Like it becomes true if you tell it over and over to people unable to answer you.

[Augustine2004]

Wie Es Eigentlich Gewesen Ist=How is existence actual? Have I translated that correctly?

[Manwë Súlimo]

No, it means "how it really was", and the ist should be left out.

[BeyondTW]

No, it means "how it really was", and the ist should be left out.

But "wie es eigentlich gewesen" makes no sense.

Not a nomination but yet another narcissistic, feelgood comment from that one lady from my school who thinks God talks to her about weightloss, and is always posting me-centred lyrics from songs and me-centred quotes from books:

Focus on how much God LOVES YOU instead of how you think you "should be"; because you are never going to be how you "should be" - Brennan Manning

IOW, let's not focus on being remade in the Image of God/Christ, let's just sit as we are, forget about our progress towards that Image, and just feel loved.

I hope Manning realizes that a couple pills of ecstasy can accomplish the same task.
