God's Ph.D Turned down.

Post by Coyote »

This is why God never recieved a PhD:

1) He had only one major publication.
2) It was in Hebrew.
3) It had no references.
4) It wasn’t published in a refereed journal.
5) Some even doubt he wrote it by himself.
6) It may be true that he created the world, but what has he done since then?
7) His cooperative efforts have been quite limited.
8 ) The scientific community has had a hard time replicating his results.
9) He never applied to the ethics board for permission to use human subjects.
10) When one experiment went awry he tried to cover it by drowning his subjects.
11) When subjects didn’t behave as predicted, he deleted them from the sample.
12) He rarely came to class, just told students to read the book.
13) Some say he had his son teach the class.
14) He expelled his first two students for learning.
15) Although there were only 10 requirements, most of his students failed his test.
16) His office hours were infrequent and usually held on a mountaintop.

Darn God.
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!

When you cut off anything that dosen't grow back, its considered mutilation. (Other then the umbilical cord of course)

Actually Simon, Yahweh is the "official" name of god, but youre not supposed to say it because supposedly it envokes him and gives you power over him (some, god, huh? :)) Which is why jews will replace Yahweh with Adonai when reading the Torah. But apparently the ancient Hebrews never gave good pronounciation notes on their writing so noone knows precisely how to say "YHWH". Elohim is hebrew for "those who came from the sky". Raelians may be fucked up, but their translation of ancient hebrew is correct. "im" is indeed the correct pluralisation in hebrew. Some would say its the royal "we" but no royal we is ever used in the third person. Noone talks about then Queen of England as "The Queens" or "Their majesties" even tho she might say "we".

True, but circumcision is done in almost all hospitals for health reasons so marking that against Him is reaching.

Actually, there are no health reasons for circumcision. All of the major pediatrics societies have admitted that it is a culturally motivated procedure with no real health benefits.

As for the "hygiene" issue, it is ridiculous; as one doctor pointed out, surgical mutilation is a poor substitute for regular use of soap and water.

No, sexual mutilation of helpless young boys is a Judeo-Christian atrocity which has no objective usefulness, and your appeals to popularity do not change that fact. It is God's fault (or more accurately, the fault of the people who invented him).

Regardless, I would much rather be circumcised than not. Removal of the foreskin for easy cleaning does not equate to castration.

Further, it is a reach as a criticism because it does no objective harm anyway.

As for circumsion here are two sites:

http://www.cirp.org

http://www.geocities.com/HotSprings/2754/

As for my own opinion, I don't care. If I have sons I'll let them decide when they're old enough to understand the consequences, personly I prefer being circumcised.

Supposedly, uncircumcise guys are more sensitive. That would indicate that circumcision reduces pleasure during sex :)

Why?

As if cleaning your penis is difficult with out being circumcised. I am NOT circumcised and I've never had any difficulty keeping little Sirius clean.

See http://www.mothersagainstcirc.org/fleis ... rcumcision started in America during the masturbation hysteria of the Victorian Era, when a few American doctors circumcised boys to punish them for masturbating. Victorian doctors knew very well that circumcision denudes, desensitizes, and disables the penis. Nevertheless, they were soon claiming that circumcision cured epilepsy, convulsions, paralysis, elephantiasis, tuberculosis, eczema, bed-wetting, hip-joint disease, fecal incontinence, rectal prolapse, wet dreams, hernia, headaches, nervousness, hysteria, poor eyesight, idiocy, mental retardation, and insanity.[/quote]Personaly I think that circumcition is a form of child abuse.

*EDIT*
Stumbled on to this: http://www.cirp.org/pages/parents/circ-why/
Today there is no medical justification for routine circumcision. It is therefore up to parents to recognise and protect the rights of their children as every individual has an inherent right to a whole and complete body.

Circumcision of unconsenting children is now a a Human Rights & Legal Issue.
