Logic, reason and drdino in the same sentence without a 'not'?

As a previous respondant remarked, I cannot believe that someone used the words "logic", "reasoning" and "drdino" in the same sentence.

Kent Hovind is a liar. He is a man wilfully ignorant of science. I've seen him lie, I've heard him lie, he is the classic "Liar for Jesus".

Thumbs up

Beliefnet is what turned me on to unitarian-universalism, which turned me on to being a deist-christian (belief in Jesus' message without belief in his divinity), which turned me onto agnosticism, which turned me onto atheism. I was also a pagan in that span, too.

Beliefnet.com is a very good site and it even has a "Belief-o-matic" - a test you take that directs you towards religions that are similar to your beliefs. BTW, Roman Catholic was at the very bottom of my list of religions. That's where I started.

Oh! And from the front page of Baptistboard.Com:

"Rule Three: Since, your opinions will be challenged, if you can not handle it, please stay out."

Maybe you're still part of Baptistboard, and EVERYONE ELSE were the ones that were kicked out.

Your posting just gave me a crazy idea. Please see below conceptual frameworks for the Chuch of the God of Entropy and The Church of the Excluded Middle. They came out of the Ocham's Razor Sharpened thread under Existence of God(s). Approprately dressed, don't Entropism and Middleism qualify as belief systems - how many members do you think we could sign up on beliefnet etc.?

Glad to be of amusement. Can I also introduce you to the God of Entropy. The God of Entropy is analagous to the personal heavan thing, the god is whoever or whatever you want it to be. "And Man made God in his own Image." Lottery 1:1
This means that everyone is automatically a member of the Church of the God of Entropy . You can even disbelieve in your own god if you want, really, its the atheist's way to heavan. I even wrote a few prayers but nobody answered them.

Unfortunately nobody's taken round the collection plate yet.

I just found the press release below, thought it might help show how shaves are getting closer!
Adelphi's Oracle
By Harry Stottle

The senate has just announced a logical move to reduce overcrowding in the Entropic Temples. Having reviewed the membership rules, Agnostics will not now be allowed to attend because they have no god that they clearly believe or disbelieve in. They will attend a new institution named "The Church of The Excluded Middle". Clearly, there will be no major deity of course but saints will be allowed including St. Heisenberg of Uncertainty, St. Zeno of the Missing Point and St. Zermolo of the Axiom of Choice.

The location of premises for the The Church of The Excluded Middle is unknown at this time but soldiers are looking for a suitable location in the Caucusus Mountains (lit. in Greek the ends of the earth). Agnostics will be allocated caves and each provided a Pascal Personal Plastic Safety Wager Razor. Those making cutting remarks or offering physical resistance will be removed for a Carribbean vacation.

The leader of the Agnostics, Mr. Percy Cuted, was contacted for his comments on the senate decision and could only respond with "Unbelievable".

I don't know who this Hovind guy is, but I really appreciate the honest assessment above. Honest. To the point. I love it.

You have never heard of <a href="http://www.drdino.com/" target="_blank">Dr. Dino</a> (Kent Hovind's proudly-proclaimed alias) and his <a href="http://www.drdino.com/cse.asp?pg=itinerary" target="_blank">eternally-ongoing "Creation Science" roadshow</a>? You must be leading a sheltered existence!

I think it's a good idea! Is there a membership fee?
