March 2012 Screwballs

[lilpixieofterror]

I asked him if maybe the name of The Divine COMEDY was any clue that it wasn't exactly a serious theologi...

The guy is clearly a moron, I wouldn't waste my time with him.

The problem is that this guy ,along with the one with his "symbolic" Adam and Cain deal ,are respected over there (I don't understand why for the first one ,but the symbolism guy can actually argue more intelligently. At least as long as he's not arguing against Christianity.),and if I ignored either of them ,then everyone else (some of the people over there are actually capable of an intelligent discussion over these topics) would think I am unable to answer their arguments. Think of the two most respected members here ,and over there those two guys have that kind of respect when it comes to the people who post there often. The only person who's work I'm acquainted with enough over here would be J.P. Holding(I know that he is respected here) ,and think how someone would be treated here if they completely ignored ALL of his arguments. This guy of course is nowhere near J.P.'s level ,but over there he has not only that kind of respect ,but unless you can point out his errors no one over there sees them ,even if they are normally more logical people.

Screwball to a new stalker:

Speaks for itself.

Left a few comments of my own.

Screwball to Manwë for being jealous of my living in Middle Earth.

Sometimes I think T-web is over-run with people of Mordor, and I want to "Ramble On." That's the Led Zeppelin song that mentions, "In the darkened steps of Mordor."

Fanuilos heryn aglar
Rîn athar annún-aearath,
Calad ammen i reniar
Mi ‘aladhremmin ennorath!

A Elbereth Gilthoniel
I chîn a thûl lin míriel
Fanuilos le linnathon
Ne ndor haer thar i aearon.

A elin na gaim eglerib
Ned în ben-anor trerennin
Si silivrin ne pherth ‘waewib
Cenim lyth thílyn thuiennin.

A Elbereth Gilthoniel
Men echenim sí derthiel
Ne chaered hen nu ‘aladhath
Ngilith or annún-aearath.

ROFL, I never knew Ben Witherington can be...so vulgar (the good kind). From a lecture:

A while back, when he was blogging about hell, he made a few handbasket jokes. Hardly original, sure, but also not what you'd expect from such an eminent scholar.

Oh trust me, he's downright folksy (and disturbingly addicted to puns, too). His favorite person to quote when lecturing is his granny, and scarcely a cold winter morning went by last year where he didn't refer to us as "God's frozen people".

[Manwë Súlimo]

How's he doing, by the way, since the passing of his daughter?

Not sure. I haven't gotten to see him at all yet this semester. As one might expect, he doesn't much emerge from his office/bookcave save for teaching classes, and I'm not in any of his at the moment. (And I think I'll see about going with Craig Keener instead for my next NT selection, since we've picked him up now.)

Up for putting your cessationism to the ultimate test?

If anybody can win me over, it's Keener. (Or Fee, for that matter.)

"God's Frozen People." That's a good description!

Anti-screwball to Cerebrum for his avatar. BRB, gonna sing the doom song.

I really want Keener's new 2 volume set on miracles, but it's not on Kindle, and the shipping is more than the books cost (the main downside to living in Middle Earth...but don't tell Manwe I said that)

[ApologiaPhoenix]

Screwball to the Simpleton on my blog again:

Wow… you don’t treat Wikipedia seriously. Amazing. “I ignore a huge source of information because it goes against my beliefs!”

I have the poster child for fundie atheism here apparently.
