Logical flaw

Post by weemadando »

OK. We have the bible mentioning various historical landmarks and figures. Excellent. What proof is this of its validity and accuracy? None. The fact is that we need evidence that corroborates the biblical events. Not the bible corroborating other events.

I mean, this is like picking up a Dale Brown book and going, hmm... He mentions the United States and Russia. They both exist. This must be historical fact.

Moral of the story: despise stupidity.

Sigh. See what happens when siblings marry?

"Let's see, we found a tablet that had "Jerusalem" inscribed on it, so all the stories about voices in the sky, magic horns, and messianic zombies must be true!"

"Uncle-grandpaw, aunt-mom sez that cousin-sis was adopted, so dus I has'ta divorce her?"

Bugger!
Something about Libertarianism always bothered me. Then one day, I realized what it was:
Libertarian philosophy can be boiled down to the phrase, "Work Will Make You Free."


In Libertarianism, there is no Government, so the Bosses are free to exploit the Workers.
In Communism, there is no Government, so the Workers are free to exploit the Bosses.
So in Libertarianism, man exploits man, but in Communism, its the other way around!

If all you want to do is have some harmless, mindless fun, go H3RE INST3ADZ0RZ!!
Grrr! Fight my Brute, you pansy!

"We're losing logic field integrity!"
"Damnit man! Hold it together. We can get through this!"
"Fallacious point off the port bow! Its closing rapidly!"
"Dear god! They're going to ram us! Brace!"
*whump*
"Who's hurt?"
"I'm OK, but my brain... It feels strange..." *head explodes*
"Damn, we lost another one. How many must die before this stupidity is stopped?"

That's sorta like Planet of the Apes. Oh my god! It's the Statue of Liberty! It's all true!
"And as I promised, I said I would read from the bible..." "...And if we could turn our bible to Pslams..."Happy shall he be that taketh and dasheth thy little ones against the stones."

Of course the Bible entions ancient landmarks. That's when the writers were alive writing it! That's like saying that because George Washington was real, he cut down a cherry tree and confessed to his father.
