After two failed attempts to arouse outrage over a teacher who had the audacity of using God in a critical thinking exercise, and closing comments on both, Gordon Mullings (aka KairosFocus) posts a FYI/FTR OP (comments off, of course) on the Flying Spaghetti Monster.

Paranoid Delusions

He starts, of course, with his paranoid conspiracy theory about attacks from objector sites. It only gets more entertaining from there.


   
Quote
As just noted, a discussion thread on responding to abuse of the privilege of developing and implementing curriculum has been trollishly hijacked in what looks like an escalation of the tactics coming from a circle of objector sites. At the end, on a topic dealing with 12 year olds, sexually tinged vulgarity has been injected by word plays on a participant’s handle in an attempt to trigger a spiral to the gutter.

The whole thing is brilliant!

 
Quote
Since the Flying Spaghetti Monster is physical it is subject to the absorption and deflection of light particles and is therefore visible and particularly hued. Bobby Henderson did claim that the Flying Spaghetti Monster is “invisible and can pass through normal matter” and so either Bobby Henderson is a false prophet or the Flying Spaghetti Monster knows how to traverse dimensions. Since the Flying Spaghetti Monster’s physical body consists of spaghetti and meatballs the constituents of the godhead are as follows: eggs, salt and pepper, flour, water, beef and or pork, basil, parsley, mushrooms, bread crumbs, oil, etc.

Since these physical entities must have, by necessity, preexisted the Flying Spaghetti Monster it cannot be the uncaused first cause.

It's a mystery!

It is al very amusing. Jack jones makes comments such as this:
Quote
Ladies and Gentlemen, Brain dead bob is arguing against God...

Brain Dead Bob, Why are you so stupid?

You have shown your stupidity and what a failure you are, that is all.

Poor bob, What a fool he is.

Why do you have to lie to cover up your failure?... That is stupid.

Indeed they are, You should go and play with your toys because you are not big enough to talk with the adults.

Why are you such a walking contradiction Larry?

And not a word from Gordon Mullings on trollish behaviour. But one commenter uses a juxtaposition of two words,
Quote
Jack, off of your earlier comment @103:

Now Jack, off to the more serious point.

Jack, off of these points we might see FSM...

And Jack, off of these ideas the realization should sink in...


and Mullings melts down. Too funny.

Two fewer instances of "Jack" near "off" and the post might have sailed through without incident. I shouldn't have been greedy: I had other lascivious bits in there.

In my defense, for someone as vile and nasty as Jack Jones (i.e., his online persona), penis and sex imagery are the most dignified and effective manner of response.

I probably didn't help by bolding those two words and asking you if it was too subtle. But it did result in Mullings closing comments on another thread, and posting four additional OPs to explain how bad we are. Comments off, of course.

I wonder if he has ever had a sense of humour.

Interesting.  Elsewhere, He Who Must Not be Named  discusses whether the Declaration of Independence (1776) violated the US Constitution (1787).  Which would mean the 1787 document must have preexisted the 1776 document.

Unfortunately, Dr Dr Dr Dembski (the fall went back in time and killed the dinosaurs) is no longer posting at UD.  He could have straightened this out.

Sparc,  that could be interesting.  "Then, using terror tactics copied directly from organized crime, they mailed us an image of a beaker full of green fulminating acid to warn us what would be flung in our faces if we continued to do the Lord's work!"

Quack, I grew up in a town of about 2500 and there's no doubt in my mind that EVERYBODY on Montserrat knows where GEM lives.  If nothing else I'm sure that every child is warned away from his door.

Up to seven. But at least this one allows comments. For now.

Michael Egnor too dumb even for Torley*

Mapou is not impressed either    
Quote
Dr. Egnor is so completely and painfully wrong, I don’t know where to start. I am embarrassed by his nonsense. He makes non-materialists and hardcore dualists like me look bad. One might be tempted to ask Dr. Egnor, just for grins and giggles, why does his spirit even need a body?
And he fears for ID    
Quote
If this is the kind of nonsense that passes for critical thinking at the Discovery Institute, ID is in big trouble. Isn’t the Discovery Institute the main organization championing ID?

I am glad to see VJTorley take Egnor to task. UD must fully distance itself from this crackpottery.

But if UD fully distances itself from crackpottery, who will be left?

* Caution: Torley explains why this is so at length.

You're giving Mapou too much credit.  He just want's to distance UD from this crackpottery, not crackpottery in general.  Mapou's just trying to eliminate the competition.
