February 2012 Screwballs

[fm93]

After I smacked around YouTuber RealityDistirbutor (yes, the misspelling is actually in his user name), refuting all his Bible objections, he completely ignored my responses to him and sent me this private message:

bible pagan values/ evil ways/ bigotry/ ignorance

A Woman's Punishment For Defending Her Husband = Cut Off Her Hand"When men strive together one with another, and the wife of the one draweth near for to deliver her husband out of the hand of him that smiteth him, and putteth forth her hand, and taketh him by the secrets: Then thou shalt cut off her hand, thine eye shall not pity her." (Deuteronomy 25:11-12)

Deformed People Cannot Approach God"For whatsoever man he be that hath a blemish, he shall not approach: a blind man, or a lame, or he that hath a flat nose, or any thing superfluous, Or a man that is brokenfooted, or brokenhanded, Or crookbackt, or a dwarf, or that hath a blemish in his eye, or be scurvy, or scabbed, or hath his stones broken. No man that hath a blemish of the seed of Aaron the priest shall come nigh to offer the offerings of the Lord made by fire: he hath a blemish; he shall not come nigh to offer the bread of his God." (Leviticus 21:18-21)

If You Steal Something, or Sin in Any Way: Cut Off Your Hand"And if thy hand offend thee, cut it off: it is better for thee to enter into life maimed, than having two hands to go into hell, into the fire that never shall be quenched." (Mark 9:43)

Men With Wounded Penises or No Testicles Are Not Allowed in Church"He that is wounded in the stones, or hath his privy member cut off, shall not enter into the congregation of the Lord."(Deuteronomy 23:1)

Your Family Is Your Enemy and You Are All Competing for God's Love"For I am come to set a man at variance against his father, and the daughter against her mother, and the daughter in law against her mother in law.

(Matthew 10:35-27)

Cursing At Your Parents Warrants Death "For every one that curseth his father or his mother shall be surely put to death: he hath cursed his father or his mother; his blood shall be upon him." (Leviticus 20:9)


[F bomb] your book of fables you [F bomb]ing moron.

In case you're wondering--yes, he's also the type of atheist who claims that atheism is the sole arbiter of free-thinking, logic and intelligence, while going around making statements like "There is no proof that Jesus ever existed." Yes, he's THAT type of atheist.

I should also add that he complains that the Bible denigrates humans, while he goes around calling religion a product endorsed only by the delusional/gullible sheeple, thereby denigrating the vast majority of humans now and ever.

IDIOM DICTIONARY

The pot calling the kettle black

Meaning: A criticism that one person makes of another person or thing actually applies to the criticizer himself.

Example:

I recently started to attend an apologetics club at a church and the leader is looking for material to go over. What topics do you suggest the club covers? The club meets once a month. The people in the club sometimes watch videos and listen to lectures.

I have visited and participated years ago in such groups on college campuses, and found the greatest problem as; (1) Misrepresenting the positions of the opposition in arguments, such as atheism and scientists on evolution. (2) Not understanding logic, the views of different positions, concepts like 'proof,' and the philosophy of science. For example, the limits of logic to resolve issues of truth and knowledge. (3) Focusing far too much a one sided arguments with preset conclusions

Hmm...which Bahai do we know who suffers from those problems?

[Sparko]

There's spec all over about what they are - supposedly Baptists, supposedly part of that Quiverfull movement (which, er, forgets the high level of infant mortality in the ancient world as a factor in the relevant saying) -- not likely Mormons.

But I don't know, because personally I'd rather be watching Jan Garavgaglia dissect dead people than watch the Duggars.

yeah same here. I think I watched 5 minutes of it once and thought, "dang, these people are nuts"

[Teluog]

"When a man's ways are pleasing to the LORD, he makes even his enemies live at peace with him." ---Proverbs 16:7

Proverbial sayings shouldn't be taken so woodenly. Of course, I'm not sure the intention of the guy who posted that.

I wouldn't be surprised if he got it from church people in general who think they are entitled to an easy life, nor would I be surprised if he takes it so woodenly.

[Challenger Grim]

For example, the limits of logic to resolve issues of truth and knowledge.

Wait a sec... what exactly would be used besides logic to resolve truth & knowledge?

Anyway, via vox day, we get:

Now even that assumption is no longer safe, as exemplified by a new book by the cosmologist Lawrence M. Krauss. In it he joins a chorus of physicists and cosmologists who have been pushing into sacred ground, proclaiming more and more loudly in the last few years that science can explain how something — namely our star-spangled cosmos — could be born from, if not nothing, something very close to it. God, they argue, is not part of the equation....

Dr. Krauss delineates three different kinds of nothingness. First is what may have passed muster as nothing with the ancient Greeks: empty space. But we now know that even empty space is filled with energy, vibrating with electromagnetic fields and so-called virtual particles dancing in and out of existence on borrowed energy courtesy of the randomness that characterizes reality on the smallest scales, according to the rules of quantum theory.

Second is nothing, without even space and time. Following a similar quantum logic, theorists have proposed that whole universes, little bubbles of space-time, could pop into existence, like bubbles in boiling water, out of this nothing.

There is a deeper nothing in which even the laws of physics are absent. Where do the laws come from? Are they born with the universe, or is the universe born in accordance with them? Here Dr. Krauss, unhappily in my view, resorts to the newest and most controversial toy in the cosmologist’s toolbox: the multiverse, a nearly infinite assemblage of universes, each with its own randomly determined rules, particles and forces, that represent solutions to the basic equations of string theory — the alleged theory of everything, or perhaps, as wags say, anything.

Loftus blew up the Internet with this hypocrisy:

8) Some Freethought Bloggers have an exaggerated sense of their own importance in the over-all scheme of things. It's easy to think this since people choose to believe what they prefer is true. But I know enough to know that I'm not important much at all.

A new field of mathematics will need to be invented just to calculate the precise depth and magnitude of this lie.

@Christians. Here's how you prove god. Pray to god that approximately 24 hours from now, the earth should stop revolving for an hour.

And when everyone, every animal life, all the oceans, and everything else not nailed down hurls out into space, Christians can smugly say "I told you so" before suffocating to death in the vacuum of the void.

Screwball to the horny doofus for forgetting about gravity, and not understanding centrifugal motion.

I love those commercials.

In another forum I post in, I asked an atheist if he's familiar with the attempts to harmonize the birth narratives. Answer:

Yes. I think it's a load of crap. The two separate gospels were written by two sets of people not present at the actual events, and were probably just filling in backstory based on prophecy and of truths or half-truths. There's nothing to harmonize. It's as pointless as trying to harmonize the two genealogies of Jesus.

[Tophet]

"There's nothing to harmonize. It's as pointless as trying to harmonize the two genealogies of Jesus."

Oh, really?

This article, and Jeremy Lin, are worthy of anti-screwballs.

The comments in the article, meanwhile...goodness, I may have to rank CNN commenters as even DUMBER than YouTube and Yahoo commenters! if you value your eyes and mind at all, don't read them. It's not worth compromising your health.
