"Rage is the only quality which has kept me, or anybody I have ever studied, writing columns for newspapers." - Jimmy Breslin

Someone: why are so many people applying for the YR hoping to improve their general knowledge of the world

but it's like the world according to the gospel of gabriel, jiekai, jolene, jireh and caleb.

then again it's probably more educational than the gospels of mark luke john and matthew.

Cock: there was this wondertul story retold in the god delusion about this experiment done in israel on a couple of 7 year olds

one group was taught the story of one of joshua's massacres

another was taught the same story but changed the names of joshua and the city getting conquered to a chinese general.

it was found that kids found the actions of joshua naturally repugnant.

wheras kids taught the same story in the biblical context made up all sorts of defences as to why joshua rightly slew so many people.

Me: the midanites were evil
therefore they deserved to die

who conducted such a seditious experiment :P


Someone: i feel the PC brigade has grown into the PC Legion of Doom
backed by, amongst others, the Feminist Shadow Council

well, today some girls in class briefly mentioned the harvard guy who was fired [Ed: Lawrence Summers]
they mentioned that the harvard guy had been "misogynistic"

smth sparked in my head, and I asked if it was the same guy i knew of
it was

well then I immediately spoke up for him as the victim of a neo-feminist witch-hunt
we didn't quarrel, but i'm not sure if they were properly convinced

i'm getting very sick of discourse that tries to attack what is termed "patriarchal discourse" when they keep trying to poke holes in male Law, male Science, male History

it just gets extremely irritating
and Law doens't simply mean our judicial system either
it has, what, psychoanalytic implications
i'm nto even going into that here


Someone else: no wonder stereotypes of sci ppl being geeky unromantic is true
the things they learn..

imagine watching sunset with a girlfriend... and then u tell her "Is the setting sun really where you think it is?"

and then u say "Refraction makes us believe that the sun is higher in the sky than it actually is."

so actually the sun set already, u're just seeing the light


Comments box on Cash Harvest Cult review:

Frigid Girl: did you ever read the bible from cover to cover? you sound like you know the bible more thoroughly than most christians.

anon: to frigid girl. reading something cover to cover or reading it every single day means nothing if there are no thought processes running while reading.

how else could some university students read their journal articles twenty times and know not what the latter say?

Me: Indeed, I agree with anon.

How else can one read the Bible and remain Christian?
