October 2011 Screwballs

Youtuber Adrenacrumb said this to my friend KabaneTheChristian:

Kabane used to post on t-web here all the time. Not sure what happened to him. At first I thought he sort of "retired" from t-web from being sick of debating retards here, but if this were then he definitely wouldn't have retired to debate on Youtube.

Can't we preemptively nominate YouTube atheists in general?

I suspect with schooling obligations he has to pick and choose where he spends his time. I do still hear from him now and then by email.

Got a note from labarum312 on YT about this -- notice one of the names is Michael Rush -- author of Failed God, one of those mushroom-Jesus fantasies.

You'd think he would have chosen here instead of Youtube. Then again, Youtube needs FAR more help than most skeptics here do.

Screwball to April DeConick for her book Holy Misogyny.

DeConick first traces the femininity of God in the ancient Jewish tradition, and how that carried over into the Christian tradition. She talks about how the “Spirit” of God had been understood by its original audience as feminine. Giving the example of the Holy Spirit descending on Jesus at his baptism, when the skies open up and a voice is heard, “This is my son, in whom I am well pleased,” DeConick asserts that modern readers most likely hear that voice as either male or genderless, coming from the Father. She argues the original audience would have heard it as female, coming from the Spirit of God, and that in some places Christians wrote about the Spirit being Jesus’s true mother.

i was actually a reader of TWeb at the time kabane was active here. He also got less active on YT around that time (strangely, the same was true for migkillertwo).

Well, he has sort of retired from debating such people. He now only debates intelligent opponents on his channel. Stupid comments on his channel now get deleted without comment and the poster is blocked. Adrenacrumb is probably blocked by him now:).

I would like to nominate a silly anonymous person who wrote this on Ed Dingess' blog:

If you want to read something frightening about this apologist, read this. It denies the exclusive claims of Christianity. Read it for yourself. It is linked from Tektonics.

The "frightening" article is on the subject of what happens to those who die without hearing about Jesus. Miller takes an inclusivist view, i.e. it is possible for people who have never heard of Jesus to respond to the light they have received through general revelation etc and come into a saving relationship with God. This happens to be a viewpoint I personally disagree with but I think it is ridiculous to say that Miller is denying the exclusive claims of Christianity since Miller states:

"Notice that Jesus is somehow necessary for ANYONE's salvation--even those BEFORE His time on earth. God the Father accepted that future sacrifice (ahead of time) of the historical Jesus Christ as the basis of forgiveness in the OT. (Also, please remember that the pre-incarnate Son of God was active in creation and revelation BEFORE assuming a human body in history.)"

So Miller is still saying that Jesus is the only saviour and Christianity is the only religion which is fully true. The exclusive claims of Christianity are in tact.

It seems that Ed has attracted some silly people to his blog there.

Oh there is nothing more entertaining than an NA without a grasp of history:

"Unless the entire internet is wrong then I think you are making yourself look like an idiot. All you have to do is search anti-semitism is early church fathers and it is everywhere."

Oh? Than explain why so many of the early church fathers constantly extolled the virtues of the Jewish people. Explain why Augustine of Hippo spoke highly of the Jews and condemned anyone who would defame them or harm them. If this is a sole sin of Christianity, than explain why Atheist states both past and present have been hot beds of both religious and ethnic persecution of the Jews (the USSR, Jacobin dominated France, North Korea, and China, just for starters).

What a loon.

You want even screwier? Look what Ed posted today:

If you have not watched this short 33 minute documentary by Ray Comfort, I would encourage you to make the time to do so. Ray has an excellent method for reasoning with the unbeliever about God, sin, guilt, repentance and heaven. In this documentary he begins with the holocaust. The shocking revelation is that he speaks with so many young people who have never even heard of Adolf Hitler. Once he establishes the undeniably evil nature of the holocaust, he moves to the modern holocaust in America known as abortion. He helps several young people adjust their perspective on abortion by giving them more information about the nature of that act and the human life in the mother's womb. He then moves to the discussion around individual guilt and responsibility. He brings the law of God to bear in order to shed light on the sins of lying, stealing, adultery, and blasphemy. When people oppose the idea of judgment, he hearkens back to Hitler. If there is no judgment, what happens to Hitler? This is an excellent strategy. He uses the undeniable moral law within to give his reasoning the steam to move to it's conclusion. However, he does not stop here. He then brings out the cross to show people that Jesus paid the price for liars, thieves, adulterers, and blasphemers. He then issues the challenge to repent. Bravo to Ray Comfort and team for once again knocking the ball out of the park. The reasoning is sound because it is soundly biblical.

Anyone who thinks Ray Comfort has EVER "knocked the ball out of the park" deserves Platinum Lifetime. (To be fair, this at least is a little more solid than Comfort's earlier "bypass the intellect" procedure, but it's based on much the same premises.) It's also far from "biblical" because it represents absolutely no method of evangelism used in the NT (which always appealed to the evidence of the empty tomb, miracles, etc.).


BTW UKC, Ed removed your link to my page on him from the comments. I can't imagine why. How much you wanna bet Ed is some or all of those "anonymous" posters?

[Challenger Grim]

Actually, we do. It's called Geordie Shore. No. I'm not making this up. They really did make a UK version of Jersey Shore.

Grats, England. You've now lost the right to criticize America about ANYTHING EVER.

Screwball to the guy that wrote this message on the so-called Free Speech Wall (it's actually a long strip of paper glued to the side of a building.....don't know who put it up or it's purpose in an entire society with the freedom of speech):

CHRISTIANS are the borg.
All will be assimilated.
Resistance is futile.

As a sci-fi fan.

I can't help but chuckle a little at it.

To be fair 180 isn't dealing with the Gospel (thankfully). I'd say it gets some pro-life things very right, and some other things very wrong.
Here is the best review of 180 from a pro-life, not-uneducated perspective.
