This is a great site, wonder if it's been posted before?

Haven't seen a lot of it yet, but this one was quite fun

Hrm. Okay, I've looked at D&D manuals before... I have friends who've read almost every single one of them... but I don't remember any given point in time where either I or my friends looked to them as a guide to life. You'd have to be one pretty sad individual to let a D&D manual be "in charge of everything". Unless, of course, there was some kind of ogre infestation or something. "Oh, shit! What do I do if there's a group of ogres banging down my door? How many hit points do they have? How does this enchanted knife with +3 against ogres work?" Other than that, I really don't see any kind of logical or useful real-life application of anything contained within a D&D manual.

Hehe, this reminds me of the 'Happy Valentines day from Falwell' site over here

While the presence of these bones doesn't necessarily prove that the whale once walked on land, we can once again use the definition of "vestigial" to rule out the idea that muscles being attached to something makes it non-vestigial. When I move my legs around a lot, I can get rid of an erection. If I were to have my legs amputated from the knee down, I could still shake around my stumps and get rid of an erection. That doesn't mean that I never had anything below my knees to begin with.

Slartibartfast I really had high hopes for the content of this thread when I saw the word "Dissect" in the title. I was most dissapointed to discover that no cutting instruments were involved in this dissecting of yours.

[Sir Sirius]

From the same page as the previus one:

I mean, sure, there has to be something that created this universe and everything therein, but did you ever stop and think that maybe it was meant to be self-sufficient?

OK, now I'm ticked off, the guy is a fundie himself. Why does there HAVE to be something ("something"... sure. ) that created the Universe?

Haha, that was the point of the subject title, false advertisement to lure you here

Maybe you should research the definition of a Fundie. This guy seems at best a reasonable person, and at worst a harmless Christian who doesn't diss science which would actually be a point in FAVOR because it shows that even religious people think Chick is a prick.

I'd prefer a vivisection of his head but I doubt any real substance other than white powder of the noxious kind will be found in the cranium.

Indeed. And even with this 'worst case', there is nothing said by the author that indicates that he has any actual religious belief at all, much less fundamentalist. The assumption that the universe needs a cause does not by itself constitute a religion, whatever one might think on how reasonable that assumption is (I reject it myself). For all we know, the author just may think the universe was created by a quantum flunctuation or some such thing, or just plain "I don't know."

Actually, the Dark Dungeons tract is quite well-liked among roleplayers, since they appear to like poking fun at themselves.

[neoolong]

So, sacrificing humans to the devil doesn't work? So that's why I didn't get the powers I wanted. Bastard.

[Trytostaydead]

LOL.. that strip brightened my day! Hahaha

[neoolong]

Hehe, that dumbass says we can't eat Lucky Charms. Bastard.

[Stormbringer]

That was funny as hell!

Indeed we do. Serious theologians (by which I mean members of the American Academy of Religion, American Theological Society, Society of Biblical Literature, or National Council of Churches) are unanimously against Biblical literalism. There is not a single reputable theologian who takes the same stance Chick does. I'm doing research on this for a paper right now, and the majority of anti-creation witnesses in Arkansas in 1981 were religious (twelve out of seventeen individuals and four out of six organizations).

This included representatives from the American Jewish Congress, bishops from the Methodist, Episcopalian, and Roman Catholic churches, and theologians from various universities, along with the National Association of Biology Teachers (the only science in the prosecution) and the Arkansas Educational Association. The defendants of creation "science" were 24 Ph.D.'s in physics, astronomy, chemistry, biochemistry, geology, biology, physiology, botany, and zoology. Their degrees came from UCLA, Berkeley, Harvard, Columbia, Stanford, University of Southern California, Penn State, Michigan, Ohio State, Iowa, North Carolina, and Western Ontario.

The scariest thing to me is that the director of the Midwest Center for Creation Research has a doctorate in physics from MIT. We're training people in the scientific method, but the heretics are sucking them in somehow.

[Slartibartfast]

For example, my stance on Creationism or Young Earth or the Beginning of the Universe or whatever is this: I don't give a damn about anything that happened before July 3rd 1976

[Exonerate]

Not working for me... The server seems to down...

[SyntaxVorlon]

I got that too
So not really knowing the content of this thread.

Oh, we do. Nobody else takes us seriously, so why should we? Besides, we know what's really in those books. Heck, I've read the 1st, 2nd, and 3rd edition books, been playing D&D for 7 years, and can't cast a single spell. Guess the books don't work .

[Captain tycho]

Lol. That sure brightened up my day...
*goes back to hacking and coughing and generally feeling miserable*
Damn, I hate the flu.

[Sir Sirius]

Hmmm... It would appear that I was jumping the gun here. It's just that when someone mentions the word "created" in context with the beginning of the universe I see IDier warnings go off. I'm thinking that I need to put some ice in my cap and chill out a bit.

I'm with Sir Sirius on this one. I thought this was going to be educational. We're going to see what makes a Fundie tick!
