This thread is lol.

http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=show_mesg&forum=214&topic_id=255539&mesg_id=255539

Lots of literal interpretations going on, as well as the general hilarity of people discussing the emperor's hat.

2. It is pretty silly, but what will go unnoticed

is that no atheists came in there and shat on that thread. We're slipping in the evil department, I guess.

3. Confirmation bias is like that.

There's still plenty of time to go in there and pick a fight. I've said all I'm going to say in that thread, so someone else is going to have to do it.

4. Where do you start on a thread like that?

I'm still not convinced it wouldn't make a killer Monty Python skit...

All acted out, the little side conversation about the different churches, it's a classic.

Hard to not comment on some of that stuff...

5. I managed to hold my keyboard.

It's that word "paraclete." It just cracks me up.

I always want to respond with something like: "Polly want a (communion) cracker?"

Another thread got moved to R/T from GD, in which the poster - strictly IMO - rather pompously demanded that everyone pray with him to some Thing. I put in a short and fairly polite (for me) reminder that there are non-praying people at DU.

That poster also seemed to be in danger of breaking his arm patting himself on the back for his SpeerChuAlity. Complete with the usual references to "Gandhi, Jesus, Confucius" etc.

I thought about posting: "You forgot Stalin..."

Particularly the one about praying In a rational manner...

:rofl:

Edit: I forgot to admonish you for being so shrill and strident with your comment.:P
