Yeah, it's early, but I'll be on the road on the 30th so I have to post it now. Anyway, while we're waiting for Dec. 1, I'll ask for feedback on 2008 Platinum Screwball Awards. Here are categories and comments. I specifically need nomination feedback for the ones that are TWeb-related, since I don't get everywhere on TWeb:

Famous Skeptic -- I think an automatic here for Bill Maher
Famous Christian
Skeptic website
Christian website
Skeptic (not famous)
Christian (not famous)
Non-Christian theist
At-large
TWeb n00b
TWeb veteran
John Loftus (screwist act of 2008)
Loftus' Useful Idiots
Email categories (3)

Due to rampant stupidity by Skeptics, and time issues, I'm only going to be on TWeb in my own (tektonics.org) section from now on. Deal with it.

What's a "n00b"?

 
    Quiner Member tWebber  
     
People aren't moral and rational because some sort of religion or atheism has automatically put that moral or rational thinking in them; people are moral and rational because they are the image of a loving and wise God.

Essentially, new person who is not too bright.

MikeWright may get a special dual award as either Best Parody or Dumbest N00b.

Screwball to this guy who said that the death metal band "Nile" is Satanic.

Uh, yeah. Growling about Egyptian Mythology is SOOOOOO Satanic.

Famous skeptic: Bill Maher

Loftus: there were several things to choose from, but I think the best (worst) was when he claimed repeatedly that Exodus and other passages in the OT commanded Israelites to sacrifice their children to YHWH.

***Rest in peace, Curtmudgeon!***

Then Morgoth turned upon Húrin, and he said: 'Fool, little among Men, and they are the least of all that speak! Have you seen the Valar, or measured the power of Manwë and Varda? Do you know the reach of the thought? Or do you think, perhaps, that their thought is upon you, and that they may shield you from afar?'

'I know not,' said Húrin. 'Yet so it might be, if they willed. For the Elder King shall not be dethroned while Arda endures.'

The Words of Húrin and Morgoth, "The Children of Húrin" by J.R.R. Tolkien

Im sure there are people who would also back me up in nominating Tekton for an award. Like that person who JPHolding refused to debate. Its just that theyre remaining silent on this thread. What are your criteria for deciding is something is screwball worthy and why doesnt tekton meat it?

“The mystery of the incarnation of the Lord is the key to all the arcane symbolism and typology in the Scriptures, and in addition gives us knowledge of created things, both visible and intelligible. He who apprehends the mystery of the cross and the burial apprehends the inward [principles] of created things, while he who is initiated into the inexpressible power of the resurrection apprehends the purpose for which God first established everything.” -St. Maximus the Confessor

"I would join countless numbers of evangelical Protestants and say I have come to know Christ with fulfilling and life-changing effects and daily witness His grace and leadership in my life. But just because God in His grace and mercy has met us where we are and adapted Himself to our unique cultural and religious circumstances in no way means He has abandoned His original plan. God does not contradict Himself. Truth is intolerant, and truth is found in the Church’s living and Holy Tradition. It is my growing conviction that only a strong living Tradition can protect us from the corrosive and destructive forces of modern life, the insidious and deceptive effects of modern pluralism, and the disheartening and confusing proliferation of religious opinions...What are we to do with this "cloud of witnesses," this Holy Tradition through which they live and speak with such clarity and certitude? Well, for me there seems to be only one logical response. I must turn to the Church and its sacred Tradition; I must listen humbly and be instructed. I cannot let God’s marvelous blessings of the past blind me to what I have missed or deter me from that to which He would lead me still. I must return home to Orthodoxy." Rev. Dorraine S. Snogren, The Road That Leads Home
