Godless III - Completing The Trinity

Can you spot the flaw in his argument? (I mean besides that whole systematic pederasty thing the church has looming over it)

"As I scout I was molested," says McCay. He adds, "We need to protect our children."

It must be frustrating to be a gay and have so many heteros believe that all gays are also pederasts. Especially galling when those accusers have a known culture of pederasty in their own hierarchy.

God hid the dinosaurs so that humans would be safe...

We are, however, assured that God created the heavens and the earth and all that is in them, so that would include dinosaurs. We are also taught that God pronounced His creation good: therefore dinosaurs, at least in His eyes, were good.

I think you will agree that T. rex and his playmates would be a little much for us to handle. So God removed dinosaurs before the human race multiplied and spread throughout the earth.

Again, the Bible doesn’t get into this. That doesn’t mean we can’t prayerfully consider the matter and use our brains for something more than cooking up mischief.

It’s my personal belief that God has put the dinosaurs somewhere else, where they can’t eat people, and where numbskulls can’t try to put them into an amusement park and charge money to see them. God has the entire universe at His disposal. Anything we imagine that limits His use of it is almost certainly wrong.

I look at the re-assembled bones, the paintings, the videos, the vast outpouring of human creativity and human reason and emotion evoked by these creatures, and can only marvel at the work of God’s hands.

Dinosaurs also make me reflect on how much fun it must be to be God, and able to do things like this – makes it easy to imagine the pleasure our Lord must take in His creation.

What a blast He must have had with dinosaurs!

I was convinced this was a parody site, and the bio of the founder of the website, Matt Barber, included "Swiftian satirist," but then it said he writes for WND, The Blaze, is a frequent guest on Fax News... No, it's real. Barber is Associate Dean of Online Programs at Liberty University Law School. The author of the article is an author of "Christian Fantasy" novels.

It must be so fun to live in a world where you can just think up an idea - no evidence necessary - and then riff and lecture on that idea. And it's not considered fun or foolish - but learned, intelligent analysis!

He was totally going to hide cancer from us starting in the 60s, but the hippies and the gays and the blacks and what not.

Nope. Earthquakes, Tsunamis, and other natural disasters of that ilk are the gays' fault. School shooting are on the atheists. The hippies are primarily responsible for rape and the blacks for socialism, obviously. Cancer is still on God as far as I know. It's a gift though.

Guess Pat Robertson's advice for a woman trying to explain to her friend why God let her three year old son die of cancer.

A. There is no God
B. If there is a God, he is indifferent towards the desires of humans
C. The lord works in mysterious ways
D. Kid was probably gonna grow up to be the next Hitler

God Admits He Too Close To Creation To Judge Whether It's Any Good Or Not

“I’m still on the fence about certain creative choices I made, but there are also times when I feel like I’m probably being too critical about small corners I cut when making the cosmos—things that only I would ever notice. What I could really use is an outsider’s perspective.”

Jerloma · Post by **Jerloma** » Tue Jun 23, 2015 10:06 am

Oh boy... (Skip to 3:48)

I remember a few years back I was engaged in a debate in Hollywood with a leading atheist. This guy thinks that anybody who believes in God is a total moron. And as we got to the end of the conversation, you know, and he’s denigrating anybody who could believe in Creation, I said, “You know what? You win.”

I said, because, “I believe I came from God, and you believe you came from a monkey, and you’ve convinced me you’re right.”

Also, there's like a 0% chance that this debate even happened, right?

I'm a little late to the party here but did Obama's speech at that pastor's funeral make anyone else a little uncomfortable? I get that he has to pander to the majority and that religious people can't find comfort without the Palestinian carpenter, but are we collectively as a nation so bad at thinking that a POTUS can call 9 people being killed an act of God's grace and nobody bats a fucking eyelash? Is there any other context other than a religious one where you can say something so mindless and sadistic and be praised for it? That's horrifying.

Pruitt · Post by **Pruitt** » Mon Jun 29, 2015 10:40 am

Think that's a bit harsh.

People need to find comfort when something like this happens. Nothing wrong with speaking their language if it makes them feel that somehow, someway those lives weren't destroyed for no reason.

Yeah, I know - it's stupid, but in times of grief, people need something to help ease their pain.

Jerloma · Post by **Jerloma** » Mon Jun 29, 2015 10:46 am

Yeah, I just find no scenario by which a deity would have 9 people murdered in order to bring race discussions to the forefront anything less than horrifying. You gotta be a special kind of narcissist to take comfort in that idea.

My previous comment pertains only to those who were personally touched by this massacre - the mourners and members of the community.

Otherwise, I agree with you completely.

Jerloma · Post by **Jerloma** » Mon Jun 29, 2015 12:33 pm

I know you agree with me in theory. I'm just saying, the fact that the POTUS can say something appalling and we just brush it off as "well it provides comfort to those people" is a shining example of how religion always gets a pass. If he was trying to resolve the problem of evil in a secular humanist context and said "Dylan Roof's actions were an act of grace," he'd be absolutely crushed.

How many batted eyelashes if he gave the same address in an attack in a mosque and said it was Allah's will? I don't have an issue with the comments as he was speaking I a church memorial service. I Actually don't even care if he believes it or if he was pandering.

Jerloma · Post by **Jerloma** » Mon Jun 29, 2015 1:44 pm

I'm sorry...Christianity gets a pass. The eyelashes wouldn't be batting because anyone sees framing an act of violence as an act of benevolence morally reprehensible, they'd be batting because the President is a Muslim.

Yes, but I think a lot of "God's will" people find Insha'Allah offensive or ridiculous.

Figured 'loma would probably appreciate the first entry here.

I liked it because I learned about Biblical "bear magic":

23 From there Elisha went up to Bethel. As he was walking along the road, some boys came out of the town and jeered at him. “Get out of here, baldy!” they said. “Get out of here, baldy!”

24 He turned around, looked at them and called down a curse on them in the name of the Lord. Then two bears came out of the woods and mauled forty-two of the boys.

25 And he went on to Mount Carmel and from there returned to Samaria.

I recently saw someone quote this verse in the comment section of some article. I assumed it was an attempt at writing a completely ridiculous Bible quote mocking a previous post justifying hate through a Bible verse. I felt stupid looking up the citation, but fuck if it isn't actually in the Bible. One of these days I am going to sit down and read the whole thing. I recently got the Good News version, which is written in modern English.

There's a crazy guy in my neighborhood that has stopped me a couple times with "Hey man, you ever thought about a toupee?". To give you an image, he looks like a slightly slenderer, but just as old, Gerard Depardieu. Usually dressed in ratty t-shirt and shorts. One time he went so far to insinuate that I was in fact insecure because I was wearing a hat. I pretty much told him to eat it and since then avoid him at all costs. Last weekend I was in the little park across from my apartment with my dog, and the crazy guy was jogging on the sidewalk and just turned his head and yelled "Baaaald!" and kept on going without missing a step.

You need to introduce him to "is your dog gay too" lady. It would be amazing.

That's awesome. While I don't blame you one bit for avoiding him, I love that kind of crazy/eccentric. Las Vegas is like a magnet for a certain type of not dangerous crazy, eccentric people.

Such a fine line. One second you and your friend are talking to a seemingly nice crazy dude outside of a Store 24 in Brookline and the next minute he's fished a glass bottle out of the garbage can, broken it and is threatening you.

Jerloma · Post by **Jerloma** » Sun Jul 19, 2015 7:54 pm

So there's this show on ABC called "What Would You Do?" The premise is that they put people in "real life" situations to see how they react. For instance they have a person at a store clearly stealing something and see if any of the customers will say anything. Shit like that. So people in the secular community are a little bullshit over this one from Friday night with the nice Christian family praying in a restaurant and the angry atheist chick getting all bent out of shape. It's kind of funny though...
