October feature is up.

A poster by the name of "Archimedes" just posted a "great" argument on my blog here, in response to my assertion that the universe itself is conclusive evidence for the existence of God:

Originally posted by Archimedes
This is ridiculous, I’m sorry. So just looking around at the earth and the trees and the sunset and the stars…that’s your evidence of God? What you’re seeing is a FRACTION of the chaos that is our universe. It’s funny you fail to see the dead bodies of the 30,000 children that die everyday of preventable causes, the massive earthquakes and storms that shatter Earth, viruses and the death, illness, and hunger that plague billions of people.

If I worshiped a God I claim is all good, all knowing, and all powerful..I would be ashamed to give this world as evidence of his creation.

A bit off topic but I know some of the people here might want to help so please drop by the CodewordConduit alumnus campaign headquarters and lend a hand if you can:

Another from my blog comments here, in regard to the legalization of homosexual marriage, from a user who goes by Rey but also has posted as Beowulf2k8 on other blogs and forums:

Originally posted by Rey
Only religious people say that having sex outside marriage is a sin, so why do you perverts even need to get married other than rile religious people up? You don’t mind sinning. Now, the state gets involved in this religious concept of marriage to ensure that society’s best interests are being served. At least that used to be the reason. But today the only reason they are pushing queer marriage is population control. Tyrants need a small population they can control. The state wants to convert as many white and black school children they can to being queers so that they can bring the white and black population, and all other populations that speak English, down to almost nothing and then they can exploit the exclusively Spanish speaking population that will be left as slaves. And if Maobama can’t accomplish that then there will be forced sterlization and death camps.

Sea of red is getting in on the act. He stepped up to defend the video I posted earlier:

It's a show and on YT at that. Boo hoo they so mean and ignorant. I didn't know comedies had to fact check everything say, even though it was spot on.

When I challenged him to defend his assertion that the criticism presented in the video was "spot on", he waffled for several posts before finally admitting:

Sorry I'm not an expert on things like the trinity and such. I have my opinion but I keep it to myself and let those who have studied the subject go at it. You know more than me on those subjects no doubt and besides I don't know any bible scholars to go to. I deal with scientific claims, not theological ones.

Which begs the question, on what basis did he declare the video "spot on"?

Btw, yo lunch did return briefly, but managed to rack up enough infraction points to get temporarily banned a second time. I think you'll have to ask the mods when he is allowed back.

It also makes you wonder about one of DJ's other boasts that Craig is afraid to face him in debate because DJ was a former student. Based on the above, I doubt Craig even knows who he is.

Based on personal interaction around here, I know Craig does know about DJ.

He knows about him, sure, but does he have any memory of DJ as one of his students? I kinda doubt it.

Apparently he does, but I shall say no more about it.

Anti-screwball to JP for (in his article on Turmoil in the Toybox) saying something that I'm putting up on my wall of quotes (or at least, in my signatures).

It is not that children are incapable so much as that we have shifted the goalposts of maturity as a result of added leisure time.

It's one of those moments where someone says what you've long been trying to, but a lot more eloquently than you had been able.

It would have been nice to know which article this was.

Fixed AP.

It's in the next E-Block....CG asked for a preview.

This has got to be the height of irony...

Ok, so on Topless Robot's "the 10 most awesomely insane jack chick mini comics" (no links, do a search) we get some humorous looks at some of the craziest chick tracts. A sentence at the beginning even says:

The only path to heaven is to renounce your sins and accept Jesus Christ as your personal Lord and Savior. If you do anything else—listen to music, play games, drink, or enjoy a joint—you're going to hell faster than you can say "eternal damnation." Or so sayeth the Chick tracts.

Ok, fair enough, even a lot of Christians will admit that Chick tracts are over the top. Then under entry #5, we find this gem:

It just goes to show that in the skewed morality universe of Chick comics, even drunks who are indirectly responsible for the death of their spouses can find redemption after being born again. Now, who needs a drink?

Ummm... no that is sort of the message of Christianity.
I can't help but laugh at all these people who denounce the faith because it's both too harsh and too lenient.

I try to stay away from nominating things I see on the Rational Response Squad boards, but this is too good to not nominate:

I don't think people can be "barely Christian". As long as they believe in God and hold Jesus as their saviour, then they're Christian regardless of other beliefs/actions

Visit Shadow Gaze's Blog http://religiousyetsane.blogspot.com/ Squint your eyes to see clearly, blur reality to make it real, let focus go from your deceiving eyes to know what's been concealed. We've all been blinded. subjects to visual misinformation, a systematic denial of the crystalline. To see the fine grain, to read the hidden words, the context of parallel truth, devoid of fragmentation. Our light-induced image of truth, filtered blank of its substance, as our eyes won't adhere to intuitive lines. Everything examined, separated, one thing at a time. The harder we stare the more complete the disintegration, dissolution. Eyes re-opened, reasoning focalized, receptors activated. Perspectives distorted, the ladder beyond our grasp, the twin-headed serpent forever hidden. Where's the true knowledge, where engines of the sane & insanity merge, the clarity, the unity? Reality untouchable, transparent, invisible to our fixed, restricted fields of vision. Existence taken for granted, absolute. Possessed, owned, controlled, by the common sense-infected rational gaze. Onward forever we walk among the ignorant, never stray from the common lines.
