Gary ran out of steam a long time ago. And Postrado, unlike Gary, can form comprehensible sentences. The Postrado thread is going to wind up being better than Gary's thread ever could be, except to those connoisseurs of interesting word usement structuring.

I might be skirting with racial stereotyping but I'm fairly sure KF inhabits the more hysterical wing of Christianity. Lot's of hands in the air, fainting, yelping, dancing....all heightened emotions and expectations.

You can find the same thing easily enough on Youtube, there's plenty of videos showing waves of ecstatic grandmothers being swept off their feet by the Holy Spirit. It's easy enough to see what's really going on but when you're inside the social and ideological bubble then rational explanations are invariably rejected.

KF might really believe in the whole levitating demon horseshit but the comment about the perennial lack of evidence combined with an almost ubiquity of camera phones is on point.

If you look at the photographs of séances from the Victorian era they are comically inept pantomimes and yet because the attendants were expectant and primed for a supernatural experience the mediums and their assistants were able to convince some of the most 'respectable' folk of their time.

They all have their "merits", but for my money no one beats AfDave's combination of wrong about everything, sure he's never wrong about anything, just keeps tilting at that windmill. One word: "Portuguese".

Nah. Delusional fervor is equal opportunity.

The last time I went to fundie church was with my cousin in the bible belt. All white, full blown speaking in babble with a huge open carpeted area where people ran to and fro, kids did somersaults and flips, the less capable writhing around on the floor all caught up in the "spirit."

Makes one want to laugh and cry at the same time.

LOL!!!

I've been living here in Japan for 23 years! NO ENGRISH EVERIDI! I am here in the land of the Rising Sun!

Thus, forgive me for my bad grammars but I think most of my posts are understandable. I wish that you or anyone of you who has perfect grammars could discover the real intelligence, but this discovery was put onto my shoulder. What should I do? I had to do it alone since you never yet buy my science books or send me grants for support. SEND ME GRANTS, TAXES and SUPPORTS and I will reedit all my books to satisfy your language. And see how those discoveries could blow your scientific and intellectual minds!

But one thing I can sure of: I maybe have bad grammars but I have the best science. That is for sure for if now, why should I waste my time here claiming something???

MSN Lies About the Oregon Shootings
October 2, 2015 Posted by Barry Erring-a-ton under Intelligent Design
1 Comment

In this story.  

Here is the headline:

Probe in college slayings peers into Web rants and possible religious rage

Here is the lede:

     
Quote
The gunman who cut a deadly path through a college campus appeared armed for an extended siege, a report said Friday, as investigators probed deeper into suspicions the shooter may have been driven by religious rage


Later in the story we learn that no one believes the shooter was motivated by religious rage.  Rather, he was motivated by anti-religious rage and singled out Christians for death.  MSN’s writers and editors are shameless, utterly shameless.


Yeah! And those drivers they claim are motivated by road rage...well that's just another lie. Those drivers are not motivated by the road. They're motivated by drivers ignorant of basic etiquette. It should be clueless driver rage.

And when you pray, do not be like the hypocrites, for they love to pray standing in the synagogues and on the street corners to be seen by others. Truly I tell you, they have received their reward in full.  But when you pray, go into your room, close the door and pray to your Father, who is unseen. Then your Father, who sees what is done in secret, will reward you.
