More replies from the deluded..


So I get an email from yet another of the devout who has read my biblical contradictions postings. And thus begins a stream of e-mails in which he shows himself quite incapable of thinking for himself, referring me instead to a number of websites which supposedly "refute" these contradictions (in many, the explanation is even more ludicrous than the original Biblical discrepancy). He even eventually attaches a file from some utter dimwit (supposedly his brother) with weak, illogical "answers" and logical fallacies in response to what I wrote in my e-mail to the first dimwit. This new choad even insists the earth is 6000 years old, and didn't realize that there is such a word as 'prehistory'! Where the heck is this wormhole that they are using to bring these dorks from the Iron Age back?

C'mon, if you are going to attempt to debate at least have the decency to do more than send me a slew of links (one of which to a site about "Creation Science"! Could anyone come up with a MORE absurd oxymoron?!) and bring in additional dunderheaded reinforcements.

The beauty of attempting to use reason with people like this is that they haven't the power to think for themselves, because they operate solely on a meme. When confronted with reason they fall back only on mindless insistence and foot-stamping. This guy even resorted to trying to prove the "truth" of scripture by - you guessed it! - quoting more scripture!

So predictably, the verbose emails that started with bold challenges and claims that I'm ignorant dwindle down to a couple lines with a weak-assed excuse that because I don't accept one of his beloved websites' explanation of the number of animals on the ark that there is no point in talking to me. He conveniently ignores the numerous other Biblical discrepancies that I wrote about in the e-mail. Oh yeah, and of course he includes a link to yet another preposterous website written by some equally preposterous evangelist.

Listen, if any of you are going to write, please be capable of logical thought. Also, don't criticize my knowledge of English when your own e-mails look like they were written by a retarded child.
