Since I can't use the video as an illustrative aid, I will describe my point. What is so striking about this woman dancing around in her bikini is how happy she is. I think that's what makes the video so popular. You can find whores doing just about anything on line. But this beautiful woman is just so happy. Her joy is infectious. I think it is the best argument for the existence of God. Not just that she's beautiful (= that a god must have created something so beautiful) but that someone can be so happy just to dance around half-naked while being filmed. I think most people would find that quite difficult because they are so self-conscious of their shortcomings. ><

So was Eusebius a whore? Maybe Stephan has a point after all ...

Have you seen how happy she is, dancing around in a bikini? Nietzsche once said that I would only believe in a god that can dance. There must be a God.

A few more limericks:


RJ Hoffmann, apologist, sly,
Felt the need to make mythicists cry.
Said he "what the heck?
I'll just point out the speck,
For who'll notice the mote in my eye?"


Casey thought it a matter of course
That Mark was Aramaic in source
He wrote long soaring tracts
Manufacturing facts
But y'could see that he flogged a dead horse.

:deadhorse:

steph the young kiwi twataholic
Went to U Nott, an educational frolic.
As a thinker was cursed
But they gave her a first:
Had no content, but oozed vitriolic.


spin, the cad and notorious fence-sitter,
Thought the Jesus debate was all chitter.
He said mythery's junk
And the Jesusers bunk
And for both sides was just a hair-splitter.

These three links for the Consortium articles are safer. [W]ordpress.com has had some issues associated with PC security. What I provide here are Google cache links instead --

@Chaucer, those links link to very old versions of the web pages.

In case there are people who don't know what Geoff Hudson disease is, there was a period when an internet character called Geoff Hudson was convinced that various people were all really a scholar named Jeffrey Gibson (a sometime poster here). If I remember correctly at times he thought a number of people who have been members here were Jeffrey Gibson, including Robert Cargill and Chris Weimer (perhaps even Peter Kirby).

So over at RJoe Hoffmann's (with the double "enn"), we find Drusilla the Nun has, like RJoe, convinced herself in Geoff Hudson style that I'm Jacob Aliet, the Teddest of Hoffmans. (I may even be talking to myself above. But hey! I like intellectual company.) It is worthy to see how youthful scholarship creates realities here. Take a deep breath and imagine this filling a religious studies chair in some learning institution. Invigorating, isn't it? Tells you about the dead wood that's already there.

She must be talking about a different spin than the one that posts here, an equal-opportunity bitch-slapping agnostic who quite regularly takes whacks at the views of those of us who are mythicists.

spin can't possibly be Jacob Aliet. Look at the writing style. http://www.angelfire.com/empire/inte...eanatheist.pdf

And as I suspected Jacob Aliet is from Kenya (http://www.angelfire.com/empire/intensity/gs101.pdf). I am the only around here who can butcher together some ki-swahili.
