I've noticed Molyneux has been getting the circulation here in the Current Events forum of late. Rather interesting.

I've read Barker's book, he's an interesting guy.

Did you hear the one about the dyslexic Athiest? He wrote "There is no Dog"

 

[Jones]

Dog is my copilot.

 

[wkmac]

Dog is my copilot.

At least my dog is real. Old, slow, still loves ice cream but real none the less.

I wondered just how long it would take and who it would be. Congrats on being the winner.

So did the Pharisees.

So did the Pharisees.

They were well served in doing so.

OMG Jones, my eyes in tears. You got some crazy links posted here that are hilarious.

 

[bbsam]

They were well served in doing so.

Hardly. They did show, however, that one can read the words and miss the meaning.

 

[wkmac]

Hardly. They did show, however, that one can read the words and miss the meaning.

That assumes what you've read to reach that conclusion is historically accurate or even happened and it's on that point which is in serious doubt.

May I fix it wkmac? (sure) "Everyone of us were born gods.

If we keep this up we run the risk of Integrity coming here and starting another religious poll!

I'm giving the former Pope a bit of credit in that he reconciled god with the Big bang theory. And why not? It was Roman Catholic Priest Father George Lemaitre in 1927' who first proposed the Big Bang after his own astrological observations of celestial stellar movements. Funny how atheists always get that blame. Along with Darwin.

Also Benedict had the courage to openly declared that the nativity scene as typically practiced with animals was myth. On one level some condemnation may be justified, I'll leave that to others but at the same time I appreciate him opening doors and fostering discussions that move towards searching for truth and away from myth. I thank him for that.
