This responses from a YT atheist pretty much outline why the NAs are falling apart:

Which you took as an invitation to jump in and swing your books and websites around. It is clear that you, like many with religious beliefs, feel the need for everyone to agree with you. I was not looking for the person I was talking with to agree with me, I just stated my opinion on the matter. I was not looking for some large philosophical discussion on religion. I haven't read the books you have, because I don't need to. It's very simple to see that religion is a lie.

I'm not sure if it's the circular logic, the hypocrisy or the gleeful admission that he has no interest in learning that really hits gold with this one.

I miss being in my 20s.

During the war...

I may have just turned 25 ,but I feel more like I am in my 60's. I have R.S.D. (Reflex Sympathetic Dystrophy a.k.a. Complex Regional Pain Syndrome) ,and it makes everything harder (and more painful). The biggest problem is that most doctors have NO IDEA what they are doing when it comes to this monstrous disease. One who said he had a "permanent cure" (there is no cure) ,made things worse. Apparently there is no "standard form of treatment" ,so basically it doesn't matter how much worse they make you. There is nothing you can do about it if you don't find a doctor that actually does know what they're doing. The guy basically cut me in half ,and took out a big chunk of nerves (it was called a Total Lumbar Sympathectomy). I was "cured" for less time than it took to recover from the operation. Not only that when we told him that it came back he said that it was "impossible". Not sure even a Platinum Screwball covers one like that. 13 years since that "procedure". Luckily I DID find a doctor that DOES know what he's doing.

Facebook commenter:

A fetus is an occupant of someone else's body. An infant is not. Pretending they're morally the same, even if they are developmentally the same (or close to it), is completely stupid.

That said, I don't see anything morally wrong with letting a severely disabled baby die or killing it. I'm talking near-vegetable state, not things like Cerebral Palsy or Down Syndrome.

Anti-screwball to my counsellor who said that he loves reading the Bible from a sociological standpoint and sees a whole bunch of problems with church using this approach. I mentioned the Context Group and a couple scholars and books like DaSilva's Honor Kinship.. and his eyes lit up and he said he would check them out, and when I told him I might go to school to learn Context Group stuff he gave a lot of encouragement. He is also pretty knowledgeable on stuff like church history too. Great to see another Christian in a Christian profession who is actually knowledgeable on these things.

Here's that tract that's been sitting on the table at work that I mentioned, it's a total gong show: http://www.chick.com/reading/tracts/5001/5001_01.asp

SCrewball to the guy that blew up in my face and threatened to kill my supervisor. Get off my planet.

SarahB is starting to reach Lazy Agnostic levels of stalkitude (I don't care if that's not a real word--if not, I invented it just now.)

Do they have weekends in Canada?

The video for Dr. Craig's talk on the resurrection at Southampton Guildhall is now up. Anti-screwball to Dr. Craig, but screwball for the video taking so long to be released!


The Q&A starts around 40-44 minutes... but wait, who is the handsome fellow who ask Dr. Craig about the social background of Jesus' burial? :-p

I can't say.
