Hmmm. You raise an interesting point. I was expecting far too much consistency and rigour from Joe.

Still, I want to see the answer. It's like watching a truly gory intellectual trainwreck with bodies flying and claret, gears and sprockets everywhere. I await my imminent gaping drop of jaw and descent into Munch-like "Scream" madness and horror.

P.S. The temptation to make this post:

Wow...Joe continues to amaze me with his powers of inanity. Just when I think he can't possibly come up with something more idiotic, he invents some new area of stupid.

Even for Joe this one is just so obviously erroneous as to make me wonder if Joe isn't really a poe. I mean, how can an entire race of people do evil? It's like insisting all business managers can do evil.

Erm, but they do. ;-)

Damn...maybe Joe was right. ::shudder::

Good ol' Christian moral standards:

Quote
Anyway, burning children to death sounds a lot worse than cutting them down with a sword. At least with the sword it was quick. And they (Caanan) would have been doing this for several generations, yes? Sorry, but that's one of those cultures I'm not sorry to see go.


Oh yeah...killing people with swords was always quick.

http://www.classicalfencing.com/article....ody.php

Granted this article deals with rapier wounds, but the principle is still the same. Most people hit by a sword linger for a bit (usually to bleed out or suffocate) and it is not a painless wait. The exception is when someone is executed, but we aren't talking about that in terms of what the Hebrews did to the Canaanites. That was some brutal stuff - waaaay high squick factor that.

Indeed.  Two things-- One, I don't think folks back then had figured out how to even make crude steel yet.  And even if they had, we're definitely not talking about the  super-strong, super-sharp steel that goes into making, e.g., a quality samurai sword.  So we'd be talking probably bronze, which would undoubtedly be nice and dull after just a few uses, even at the pointy end.

Two, they were committing genocide.  Or from their perspective , cleansing the world of an inherently sinful group of miscreants [eyes rolling furiously and contemptuously].  To the victims, of course, it's a distinction without a difference.  In any event, the perpetrators (in their righteous fury/callous indifference-- again, depending on the perspective) would likely not have cared whether the killings were more or less humane.  I doubt much thought would have been given to how much it might have hurt, or how long it would have taken the victims to die.

Reading the comments on just about any capital crime news story today will reveal that the basic urge for spite in dealing out cruel and unusual punishment is alive and well in the general population. And we at least have a culture where people are aware that there are alternatives. The fact that victims in the (not distant enough) past had to experience quite a lot of agony before expiring was probably considered a bonus. Even in executions one can see that reflected, as in drawing-and-quartering, where simply dispatching the condemned was never the point. Anne Boleyn, having been convicted of treason, would ordinarily have been executed by being burned at the stake, but Henry ordered that she be decapitated instead. The reduction of suffering in execution in Anne Boleyn's case was, unfortunately, the exception and not the rule.

Lewontin!  Only this time, from Elizabeth Liddle.  She takes kairosfocus through the entire review that he so loves to quote mine, explaining the big words to him and refuting him point by point.

Lizzie seems like someone I'd enjoy having a beer with, but in my opinion she is wasting her time with such a thorough fisking.  kairosfocus is willfully ignorant, dishonest, hypocritical, and incapable of admitting error.  There is nothing to be gained from interacting with him.

That last sentence is actually true of all the intelligent design creationists remaining at UD.  They're not even worth making fun of anymore.  Anyone know of a better tard source?

I too wish Elizabeth would leave them alone; but it's not my place to interfere with other people's fun.

As for a better tard source? Well I was going to suggest this little hole of insanity....

Camping Tards

Unfortunately the real crazies have flown the nest and after two non-Raptures the place is suffering a kind of heat death. Still if you cast a few searches back to around May 21st you can find some real doozies.

BradN, you're ridiculous. and so are your false charity Christian brethren who hypocritically seek only blood.

Again, I do not know why Oct 21 appears to have failed, but my REST and HOPE is still in the Lord.

We are living in very interesting days, the fulfillment of the Bible itself.

The Rapture will occur in only a BLINK of an Eye so God can bring about the Rapture at the very last moment.

I wish I knew why God tarried on Oct 21 but perhaps others are correct that the Rapture will take place tonight, or even tomorrow, Sunday.

But even if nothing happens tonight, or tomorrow, the Lord is still my strength. Everything I learned I still hold to because they are the TRUTH!

Like I said, we are living in very interesting times.

May the Lord's perfect will be done!

Praise Jehovah my SHIELD and my LORD!

Pr 30:5 Every word of God is pure: he is a shield unto them that put their trust in him.

I trust in the WORD OF GOD! The year 2011 is a special year because it is the LAST YEAR!

-7000 years from Noah's Flood!

-1978 years from 33AD. 2x989. Jesus said, I will drink of this cup anew with you. This will occur in the year 2011.

Mt 26:29 But I say unto you, I will not drink henceforth of this fruit of the vine, until that day when I drink it new with you in my Father’s kingdom.

Mr 14:25 Verily I say unto you, I will drink no more of the fruit of the vine, until that day that I drink it new in the kingdom of God.

Lu 22:18 For I say unto you, I will not drink of the fruit of the vine, until the kingdom of God shall come.

-7x7x7x7 years from 391BC

I'm reading the OT and no WONDER God says, FEAR NOT, repeatedly!

Ex 14:13 And Moses said unto the people, Fear ye not, stand still, and see the salvation of the LORD, which he will shew to you to day: for the Egyptians whom ye have seen to day, ye shall see them again no more for ever.

Isa 51:7 Hearken unto me, ye that know righteousness, the people in whose heart is my law; fear ye not the reproach of men, neither be ye afraid of their revilings.
8 For the moth shall eat them up like a garment, and the worm shall eat them like wool: but my righteousness shall be for ever, and my salvation from generation to generation.


This is talking about RIGHT NOW!

Indeed, the unsaved will be eaten up ! But the righteous will live FOREVER MORE!

I will lean upon my LORD AND SAVIOR! JEHOVAH GOD!

Praise the Lord!

Since no one has said anything nice about God for a while, I will take up his defense:

Is it just me or is there something faintly ludicrous about the notion of the eternal, all-knowing, all-powerful Creator of the Entire Universe and Everything In It needing to be defended by anyone - let alone StephenB?

Interesting.  That would partly explain the fear they evince at atheists lacking an objective morality.*  They know how the others of their tribe would act without the threat of divine punishment.

* No, I don't agree with their characterization.  I suspect their definitions of "objective" and "subjective" are as incoherent as their concept of "intelligent design".
