Actually all empirical evidence shows that Pat Robertson is exixting quite nicely without Jesus.

"I don't know about this doctrine of crucifixion, but if he thinks we're trying to crucify him, I think that we really ought to go ahead and do it. It's a whole lot cheaper than starting a war, and I don’t think any frankincense shipments will stop."

Incidentally, re: Christian porn and the cute freckly t-shirt girl, I originally read this thread title as a kind of porn-spam offer, like the evangelical version of "Meet hot local women TONIGHT."

no i have not read the luther book about the jews, but i knew there was something like it, and that he was a rabid jew hater

agreed that the fundies (and tracer) are wrong about darwin leading to hitler, my point was that i didn't think/didn't know nazism was that closely linked, either by design or implication, with early protestantism/luther in specific, rather just euro anti-semitism in general

...contrasted with mussolini, who DID say he was the unnamed and as yet-unseen worldly savior of italy called for in the comedy (not dante's fault)

Kenneth Branagh (gcannon), Monday, 4 December 2006 20:53 (seventeen years ago) link

Rabid jew hating was not unusual in 16th Century western europe.

Lamentations 2:10 describes how “The virgins of Jerusalem have bowed their heads to the ground,” indicating how a virginal maidens should position themselves to receive anal sex.

the "point" that the fundies have, or could have, if they could stop just casually free-associating ideas together in the hopes that we will make a causal connection between them, is that evolutionary theory and "eugenics" gave fascists a whole new vocabulary and a whole new (seemingly) scientifically-approved toolbox to think things through with. that is all!

While flipping around the TV channels today I stopped briefly on one of our local religious stations. The person preaching was rambling on about the glory of god and how the bible was the word of god (or something like that); to help make his point that the bible was the word of god, he introduced the Dead Sea scrolls. He said that they were 3,000 years old and that scholars had found that they were identical to the modern day bible. In fact, he said, "Every dot over every 'i', every cross of the 't', every comma, and every period is in the exact same place as in the bible in your hand"

btw, germany was far from alone with its eugenic-led social engineering - western europe was awash in these theories as well as the US; there's a guy from virginia (can't remember his name right now) who testified that germany was "beating us at our own game" with their forced sterilization program, and compared the number of people germnay had sterilized with how many the US had done, complaining bitterly about how much more fit their population would be. (the germans on trial at nuremburg later quoted him in their own defense!)

I keep having to remind myself that all this massive face-on-Mars style self-delusion isn't just a random batshit conspiracy theory but is focused on preserving the specific belief that the events described in every book of the Bible are physical, material truth. I wonder if other cultures have as much trouble with the concepts of mythology and allegory as fundamentalist Christians do.

No, I think the fact that they were written in several dead languages IS the funniest thing! (XP)

Laurel (Laurel), Monday, 4 December 2006 21:19 (seventeen years ago) link

Wait, am I misunderstanding what the guy was claiming about the scrolls? To me, it reads about like he's saying "clearly, Baz Luhrman's Romeo & Juliet is the word of God -- archeologists have found books centuries old containing the exact same dialogue."

nabisco (nabisco), Monday, 4 December 2006 21:25 (seventeen years ago) link

The fundy speaker is in error in several ways: which one you think is "primary" depends on what aspect you find funniest, I guess. I like the fact that he's claiming every jot and tittle (literally!!) are the same, when the originals were written in at least one dead language and it is mostly certainly not Old English.

seeing this thread right above the greek gods one made me wonder - how would fundamentalists excuse/explain/interpret them if worship of them was still practiced today? would zeus & hera arguing about the strength of their orgasms take on some song-of-solomon type metaphorical significance or taken literally??

I don't think you can compare and contrast the worship of ancient Greek/Roman pantheon, it's just not the same kind of religion. All evidence points to the ancients taking a very distanced view of their gods, in fact, as mere super-humans who couldn't know or see or do all, and who were certainly not interested in the everyday lives of hunmans. Which is actually why the mystery cults sprang up worshipping minor or imported deities like Mithras and Demeter and etc -- because the cults promised a more personal relationship with the deity that could be earned by increasing levels of initiation.

just now while going to get some pizza i witnessed a guy in ft greene jamming on jeezy. see, god has a plan.

jhoshea (jhoshea), Monday, 4 December 2006 21:43 (seventeen years ago) link

Which reminds me: it's likely that early Christianity borrowed more than a little bit from the mystery religions, itself!

Yeah, Ethan, pretty much! IIRC Mithras was err a Persian god, originally, associated with the sun? Or a powerful figure elevated to near-god status in the mythology? Anyway, somehow he got worshipped in the ancient Mediterranean and Roman soldiers carried him to Britain too.

here we are, the Guardian goes on a field trip to the Creation Museum located somewhere in Kentucky.

So so SO MANY choice quotes in this one, from the guy who used to work at Universal Studios who built animatronic dinosaurs but says that fossil records of earlier hominids are "deformed, diseased or something," just like some of the people he saw in New York, to the Aussie w/ cricketeer photos in his office and who talks about how they couldn't get away with such a thing Down Under, so he came up here, to the bit of software that figured out where Noah stuck all them animals on the Ark.

They also have to be careful about the animatronic Adam & Eve scene, "...since some of our donors are scared to death about nudity."

also, care for a walkthrough of the proposed museum?

"The museum's planetarium is his pride and joy. Lisle writes the commentary. "Amazing! God has a name for each star,"

None of which are designated in the Bible.

That Guardian article is mental.

The museum's research scientist, Dr Jason Lisle, has a PhD in astrophysics from the University of Colorado at Boulder. He realised he was a Christian while he was an undergraduate

He "realised"? Like "OH SHIT! I'm a CHRISTIAN OH NOES NOW WHAT:.

And this is even better:

On top of the shelves is an array of fluffy poodle toys, as well as cuddly dinosaurs. "Poodles are degenerate mutants of dogs. I say that in my lectures and people present them to me as gifts."
