More discussion of religion with guest star Mike and the usual motley crew....
Hope Eric shows up to lend Mike a hand (without ever acknowledging the fact that they really aren't in agreement on very much)
Eric, you owe us an apology!
(Get it? Oh, I'm so witty...)

More continuation...
Not posting anything new, just running out of room and so forth...
Thinking about discontinuing this blog, but come to think of it, it seems to be doing that to itself, so maybe I'll just treat it like a slowly dying relative and humor it for as long as it's here...
(I'd miss you all, so that's there too...)

R.I.P. K.C.A.
Kalaam is dead, we should not mourn
Nor heap it with deserving scorn
While believers thought it heaven sent
It never was an argument
More of a mixture of truth and lies
A statement of faith in thin disguise
By force of logic fast undone
(It's flaws right there in premise one)
By words alone it conjured forth
The building blocks of matter
One must, in order to believe that
Be madder than a hatter
Thank you and Amen...

Funniest Video Contest, Part II
Funniest Video Contest, Part II
Here's my entry. It's sophomoric at best, and not that funny until the cat gets involved, but still I though it worthy:
horndog
Multiple entries accepted of course, and general consensus chooses the winner, as if we really care...
So once again, have at it!
And Eric, I hope you can find one out there to throw at us, too.

Extemporizing...
Just a new post for the next 200 comments, continued from the last.
Incidentally as to the last post, just wanted to re-iterate that you can access comments over the 200 count by pressing the very small and hard to notice link that says 'load more' near the bottom of the page.
Nice design, Blogger!

The Latest Bet
One day not so very long ago, Satan came unto God with a proposal. A bet.
Satan's bet consisted of God allowing him to whisper into the ears of the clergy of the earth, from the local pastors up to the highest offices in organized Christendom, a message based in Pride and not in Love. God will allow him, for the purposes of the bet, to corrupt the hearts of these men (those which could be so corrupted, those weak with Pride) with thoughts of power and fame, and of course, sex and money. Oh, and guilt and greed. All of this will God allow Satan do to, in order to test the faith and character of the whole of His believers on Earth, in order to see if the faithful masses huddling in their churches will notice the often drastic changes in the Message, and rightly recognize that their own House has been corrupted by the very Father of Lies. To determine whether the faithful will temper their love of God and belief in him, with the Divine Gifts of intelligence and perception; whether they love him with not only their hearts, but with their minds as well.
To see whether the strength of their Love for God is coupled with understanding of what that Love means.
So of course, God allowed this Great Deception of Satan's to occur on Earth, confident in His belief (since He had to suspend His omniscience temporarily in order for Satan to bet with him; Satan is not stupid) that the faithful would fast perceive that the truth of God's love for His children had been perverted even unto the point where it was in actuality reversed and twisted to reflect Satanic and not Divine ideals.
Even unto the point where Hatred was portrayed as Love.
God was very confident in His children. After all, it was a very blatant and obvious Test. They'd passed worse ones before. God was very confident. Even Jesus wanted in.
***********
So my children, this is the reason that today, sadness reigns in Heaven, and both God and Jesus are weeping... it being the first such bet God has ever lost.
(Damned gambling habit!)
Now God has to wear a pink tutu in public. Sad.
But not as sad as what's left here on earth.
Satan's winnings.
Too bad God bet the House.

This Just In...
http://www.nytimes.com/2012/04/29/opinion/sunday/homophobic-maybe-youre-gay.html
This just in... surprising no one here. (It doesn't surprise Eric because he doesn't believe it anyhow)
Nice to see it in the NYT though.
You know, this isn't psychological mumbo-jumbo. When one is aware that one is homosexually inclined, and one loathes and despises oneself for it and denies it to one's self as well, it doesn't take a rocket scientist to figure out that the natural inclination is to be *very* publicly against it.
I'm just tired of everybody pretending these people aren't sick and that this isn't what's happening. There's an awful lot of this sort of pathology on the right. It explains a lot.

"Blogger" Sucks Big Weenie
Yes, this 'blogger' space sucks. 200 comment limit, a load more button that doesn't work, and zero customer support.
So here it is again, room for 200 more. I'll answer Eric's last post here:
Bad doubts come from pride, or from laziness, while good doubts come from a sincere effort to understand or to seek solutions to one's problems.
----------------
Bad doubts? That come from pride?
Pride doesn't cause doubt, you ninny. Pride causes blind belief. Doubt comes from the recognition that all is not right in the religion, that it is not logically consistent, truthful, or indeed, even probable.. And that's always good doubt. Doubts are never bad. One either realizes they were without basis, or that they were. Either way, the truth is found.
To an idiot in a dress, er, a priest, all doubts of faith, are from pride, because to that idiot anyone that doubts the dogma does so in pride, 'thinking they know better than me and the whole church, pfft!' Unless they're silly tame doubts about fine points of the religion, doubts that do not endanger the faith (blind belief) of the person. Those are no doubt, your 'good doubts' there. Doubts that do not lead to mental liberation, are your 'good' doubts.
I find your answer offensive. Not because you try to offend. Because your belief system is offensive to all rational thinking beings.
