I just posted another response to evilbible.com; this time on the Top 10 Signs page.
ReplyDeleteCheers!
Yay! good for you Rho! You so freaking rock!
ReplyDeleteBut damn Rho, looks like you are getting your ass handed to you over at your blog. Holy crap, eaten alive.
Man, sucks to be me.
ReplyDeleteActually, I'd say it sucks to be whoever's miffed enough at you to take time out of their busy trolling schedule to even write anything.
ReplyDeleteMy guess is that their Linkin Park CD ran to the end of the last track, and with a lack of such honest passion (via a major label release) in their earphones, they had to vent their own manufactured angst (via Dawkins and RRS) at someone via a keyboard and a diaper. Besides, the WoW/CS servers were probably down that evening.
So really, consider yourself honored to have had your internet equivalent of monkeys in a cage pulling a Cal Ripken at you with their chocolate.
Allow me to rephrase the quote from Philip S. Skell (just to tweak it):
ReplyDelete"[Religion/ the Bible] makes humans self-centered and aggressive — except when it makes them altruistic and peaceable.
Or [religion/ the Bible] produces virile men who eagerly spread their seed — except when it prefers men who are faithful protectors and providers.
When an explanation is so supple that it can explain any behavior, it is difficult to test it experimentally, much less use it as a catalyst for scientific discovery."
There. That reads about right.
