Random stupid stuff that springs to mind... literally

A thought on 'God':

While we can argue back and forth (and have in another thread) about his/her/its existence, I would argue that we can prove that he/she/it cannot be omnipotent by the application of logic.

Can God make something that he/she/it cannot destroy?

 

Theres a very good book based around this premise, called Gods Debris, by Scott Adams. He describes it as a thought experiment wrapped loosely around a short story. Well worth a read.

You get some interesting conversations on Twitter late at night. That's when the creationists come out of the woodwork. Their proof is that science is a lie and god did it. They come out with evolution is a ridiculous idea  for monkeys to change into man and never understand that the change was not overnight or a direct link. Then they say that a snake talking or a woman being made from a rib is perfectly believable because it says so in the Bible.

I have been called all sorts of names by these loving Christians and condemned to the Hell that does not exist. One even said that he would kill a child if ordered to by his god. How sick is that?

Their arguement boils down to this: We know God exists because it says so in the bible. The bible is truth because it is God's book.

I'd imagine the creationists come out at night because it's prime time for all the nutjobs from the bible belt to be online.

It's a different attitude to Christianity in the US, often miles away from the love thy neighbour stuff preached in the rest of the World.

Thanks, mate.

Just picked-up a copy on ebay.

There is a science teacher on there who had a live debate with a creationist on Noah's Ark. He rang rings around him. And the creationist claimed he had won the debate. The teacher knows his stuff on history and the bible.

Yes most are Americans. It is worrying when you think that some running for President think the same way. The most Powerful man looking forward to Armageddon and is able to bring it about.

Thanks, Steven, but I collect books.

[Rincewind]

I hoard books. May see if it is available on kindle. Some of the ones that post on Twitter may be interested but they may already know about it. They are very engrossed in their atheism making it their life's work to 'educate' others.

Just saw the Sleaford Mods on Jools Holland

For some reason it's what I imagine a Matt P / Rincey duet would be like

No

If she was your missus and you had not had sex would you believe her if she told you she was pregnant by an invisible friend?

Every time I drive somewhere I pass a thousand signs for Sleaford yet I've never met anyone who's actually been there. Does it even exist?

Why do Germans wear underpants under their swimming trunks?

Is there a punchline to this?

Is there a punchline to this?

No, honestly. I've noticed this on holiday a few times, the dutch too. They always have the waist band of their underpants sticking out the top of their trunks. Seems a bit dirty to me.

[Rincewind]

Never noticed myself. I was always distracted by the ladies with their knickers showing.

Yes I realised it must have been an edit after exiting the browser. Too late to check as I was in bed.

I actually played a gig there years ago. We had to make a swift exit because our former junkie bass player touched up the promoters daughter.
