January 2007 Screwballs

[jpholding]

I know it's a day early....but I'm not online tomorrow. Neither is Doubting John.

Gotcha.

[Dee Dee Warren]

Maybe your RevelationS buddy will show up.

[ApologiaPhoenix]

I know it's a day early....but I'm not online tomorrow. Neither is Doubting John.

Gotcha.

I haven't seen him for awhile. Is he just upset that we don't play "fair"?

[P-Dunn]

Brian Sapient of Rational Response Squad has offered us this piece of "rational response...":

If I have free will, why can't I fly?

Because I can't fly, God clearly has placed restrictions on free will, and since he has why did he not restrict free will in such a way so that evil didn't have to exist?

He restricted us from flying, but didn't restrict us from murdering? Loving? I think not.

He is basking in the glory of having won the Jackass of the Year Award from Gene Cook.

[Meta Knight]

Hey, JP, you said in the last thread "as the man said...", just wanted you to know that technically, I'm not a man. I'm only 15.






We should all ignore all your arguments now because of that horrible semantic mistake.


BTW, I'll try to get some real Screwball stuff here at some point.

[Goonerman]

I nominate:

But then the Christian Topic on the BBC site has always been a minefield for screwball awards, anyway.

[Dee Dee Warren]

Lordy, Sapient's arguments are stoopid. Are atheists sure this is the guy they want speaking for them?

[lilpixieofterror]

I got a website award right here:

For paragraph's such as this:

Since the publication of The Golden Bough many scholars have taken Frazer's thesis, built upon it, and proclaimed much more bolder and more explicit conclusions regarding the connection that must surely exist between Jesus of Nazareth and paganism's Dying God. Below is a sampling of some of the books that have been published over the years that have offered answers to this curious question.

The sources are, Acharya S, Earl Doherty, Timothy Freke and Peter Gandy and they call them scholars.. Do I need to say more?

Crystal

[One Bad Pig]

A brief history of Satan's attacks on the Bible according to Jack Chick:

The Attack

[Dark_Bettle]

I nominate supersport.

[One Bad Pig]

I nominate supersport.

Any specific examples?

[familyof6]

I nominate supersport.

I second that. For a start...review this thread. Oh my.

If that's not enough:

Oh heck, just do a search for his name and pick something!

I really wish people who did not know what they were talking about, wouldn't talk about things they don't understand...

I've seen atheists on myspace really rip into them. That argument is incredibly idiotic for someone billed as the (ir)rationals philosophy expert by the rookster himself.
