Quote (KF] [b]one of the chief @ willing disciples of that dark prince in recent years, herr Schicklegruber the foam- at- the- mouth carpet-chewer[/b)
:

I thought the term was "carpet-muncher"... so I looked it up:

Quote

Q. Did Adolf Hitler have a nickname?
A. In some circles he was known as the "Teppichfresser" or "Carpet-Chewer" because of his tendency in later years to fly into an uncontrollable rage and have a good bite of the nearest carpet (obviously I doubt if they called him that to his face).


Well anyhow... trivial trivia is trivial.

I think the problem ultimately boils down to rebellion. If God is Reason, and He is (I AM WHO I AM – an expression of the Law of Identity and the basis for all thought, rational or otherwise, because it is the basis for all language) then to reject Reason is to reject God. We are not dealing with intellectual problems here, we are dealing with willfully disobedient (to the First Principles of rational thought) fools (Psalm 14:1). It’s a hard thing to say but there it is. I hope lurkers are being reached because I’ve never had one acknowledgement of undeniable truth “out here” in years of posting with the ELs and their ilk. At bottom, this is moral degeneracy because it is willful and obstinate rebellion against undeniable Truths. Isaiah warned against this when he said “woe to those who call evil good and good evil.” This is a violation of the law of identity. And woe to those who do it.

tgpeeler and StephenB,

Beautiful, truthful messages.

Yurgh! Are they deliberately trying to piss me off? "If God is Reason, [and I've obviously got the inside track on what is Reasonable] then to reject [my version of] Reason is to reject God"

"willful and obstinate rebellion against undeniable Truths"? Yep, that's it. It's completely undeniable and I'm just being awkward.

Still, they will have the last laugh from atop their fluffy clouds as I descend woefully into the Pit. They love us really.

It's nice to know that ID has nothing whatsoever to do with religion....

...On the other hand these people are very, very scary!!

What I am thinking is that what is really going on here is that we are in an era where ultra-modernism, aka post- modernism, is the conventional wisdom of the day in circles influenced by the sort of elites Santorum was fingering as dupes of the prince of darkness grim.

They've been playing Santorum's "Satan's out to get us and he's already gotten the snooty academics" speech on the radio here in Ireland.  All us good Catholics have been having a great laugh at that.  And here we thought fervently religious Dana, former Eurovision Song Contest winner, running for Irish president was a national embarrassment.

Then we remember Santorum might actually get elected and have the nuke launch codes...

The Chief Seattle speech might not be accurately transcribed (:)) but it was based on the author's recollection of the speech, Seattle was noted as a great orator, and it is still a beutiful sentiment even if it was filtered through the stylistic pen of a romantic era writer.

Just sayin. It's not a myth that he gave such a speech, just that it wasn't exactly transcribed so much as interpreted some years later.

And it is beautiful.

What I am thinking is that what is really going on here is that we are in an era where ultra-modernism, aka post- modernism, is the conventional wisdom of the day in circles influenced by the sort of elites Santorum was fingering as dupes of the prince of darkness grim.

You know how hard I have come down on the point that if we can be got to swallow an absurdity, a necessarily false notion, it then corrupts our ability to discern truth and falsity, as it leads us to reject the truth that will obviously not conform to such error.

So, what happens when his lowness and the lowerarchy –C S Lewis got that part dead right — get our civilisation to drink deep and long at the well-springs of absurdity?

Oh yes, I know I know, it is seen as utterly dummy fundy or the like to suggest that — horrors — there actually might be such a thing as the prince of darkness grim.

Well, let me cite the Catholic — yes, they were Roman Catholics, and were standing in the name of the principles they had been taught through the Catholic church [and I say that as an Evangelical Protestant] — martyrs of the White Rose movement on the subject, in exposing and explaining one of the chief, willing disciples of that dark prince in recent years, herr Schicklegruber the foam- at- the- mouth carpet-chewer:


My emphasis - for no other reason than as a brit I enjoy the odd double-entendre and I have no qualms in pulling out sentences that can be used to quote-mine KF at all.   I must admit, "foam-at-the-mouth carpet chewer" in reference to Herr Schicklegruber (why does KF never just call him Hitler - regardless, it appears spelled incorrectly anyway) did make me laugh, but only as that's how I imagine many of the regular IDiots act in the 'real' world.  It's also a refreshing change from ad hominen, soaked in oiled herrings etc.

His OP is another magnum opus as well: weighing in at 4,738 words, or 4,500 words if you take out the scripture.

Good stuff guys, keep it coming!

[edit] I can't image how I spelled imagine wrong

santorum was fingering elites? As KF would say, FOR SHAME!!!!!

If you want lions, you have to have lambs. Those who condemn God for animal suffering are saying that God should have created in a world in which all animals were vegetarian and there were no parasites. But why should he have done so?

Yes, it’s correct that even if Torley is right about the scope of sentience that there are still tremendous examples of evil. But if someone comes up and talks about (to use an extreme example) the excruciating pain that rocks experience during geographic processes and how this reflects on the existence of a benevolent God, I think it’s not only fair, but important to acknowledge the problems with attributing pain to rocks.

Someone pointed out:

Quote
Not quite. You saw increasingly vehement opposition because you promised to provide calculations, but didn't. You promised to present evidence, but didn't. You promised to explain what it was that caused you to reject the enormous complexity of biology in favor of the seductive simplicity of magic, but you didn't.

And now here you are saying that those armed with evidence can go right ahead and waste their time, but not even knowing the evidence, you nonetheless already know that it's irrelevant and there is zero chance of you actually learning enough to change your mind.

And for this, you want respect. And by amazing coincidence, over at UD all you have to do is recite evidence-free catechisms, and your support group applauds you, and commiserates at the terrible treatment you suffered over there where people NOTICE that you broke all your promises while providing nothing rational in your support. The very idea! Shame on those people!

I just go loopy with brain pain any time I encounter the argument for an "all-peaceful, no killing" pre-fall world. Forget the obvious carnivores and teeth structures, etc...what about simple fucking, offspring, and population control. Have the dipbeans that propose a peaceful Eden never set foot in an area where herbivores take over? Or heck...termites?
