Re: Best arguments for creationism.
{While the content may have its humor aspect, the purpose of this "Humor" topic is NOT for getting into things evolution/creationism, or in general for taking pot-shots at creationism. Such needs to find a better home. Maybe a separate specialized humor topic - Such should probaby go into the "Free for All" forum - Adminnemooseus}
By my count, conservatively 25% of the posts on this thread are mockery of religious fundamentalists. And if you suddenly want to start making an exception, then please do explain why the heck mockery of fundies should go under "Free For All" rather than "Coffee House". At what point did the words "Coffee House" start denoting sacred ground rather than a forum where anyone could post any trivial little thing about any insignificant subject that crosses their idle minds? Is that not the whole point of having a "Coffee House" in the first place?

No, this next piece has nothing to do with EvC or anything close to anything ever discussed here. Just funny:

The Pope Song--CAUTION! F-BOMB!
I searched EvC and couldn't find any trace of the Pope Song here, and on this lovely Sunday morning, what could be finer?
I repeat my caution: MAJOR F-BOMB here, not for playing at work or for tender ages or sensibilities.
If you find this song more offensive than its subject, the song has a special message in its lyrics just for you.

Have you ever been to an American wedding? Where's the vodka? Where's the marinated herring?!

"I have a hobbit"
It may be that I find this to be so funny because I am sure that it is true.
I have a friend who works for the Ontario govt. She assesses applications for govt assistance for the handicapped. She was telling me about a woman with an autistic teenager.
The mother, lets call her Svetlana, heads off to work like any other day leaving her son, Walter?, at home. Nothing unusual there. Walter, a big strappin lad, has some chores and studies to attend to but he is a big LOTR fan and is prone to turning on the movie and neglecting his obligations.
Svetlana calls home at lunch to see how things are going.
Hello Walter. Did you feed the cat? Have you finished your math?
I have a hobbit replies Walter.
Now Walter turn off the movie and do your chores
OK mom but I have a hobbit says Walter with conviction.
Alright dear, I will call back in a few hours to make sure you have done your work.
True to her word Svetlana checks in mid afternoon and gets much the same. I have a hobbit mom.
Allright, I will be home in a bit. Please finish your studies. Svetlana doesnt think much of it as she often misunderstands what Walter is trying to say. The day wears on and finally Svetlana arrives home again.
I have a hobbit mom! I have a hobbit! Walter repeats excitedly as he greets her at the door. From inside the house Svetlana can hear banging and shouting.
What on earth is going on? she says heading for the sound. Svetlana arrives at Walters bedroom closet to find it barricaded with the dresser.
Who is in the closet? Move this dresser at once. Svetlana orders and Walter complies. I have a hobbit.
Svetlana opens the closet door to find a midget, on his knees, dressed in a black suit, holding a bible and a Jehovahs Witness pamphlet.
Afterwards, in a sweeping gesture of karmic equilibrium, the local chapter of JWs apologized profusely to Svetlana and Walter and the pint sized proselytizer was reprimanded for attempting solo conversions.

Re: "I have a hobbit"
YES!!! Foul Play!!!!!! Reality follows Art!!!!
What was his name? Billy Barty? He had a role in Foul Play (1978, Goldie Hawn and Chevy Chase). There's some big atheist conspiracy that she had stumbled into and she's warned about "The Dwarf" and an actual dwarf comes to her door trying to sell bibles -- he winds up in the hospital. OK, he's not the "The Dwarf", but he was a "halfling" selling Bibles.

Re: "I have a hobbit"
This story exists in many forms on the internet. I found 3 different versions in about 5 mins of googling. They claim it was "their neighbor", "cousins neighbor" or a "friends cousin".
Funny but I do not think it is true.

Re: "I have a hobbit"
Yeah, it's certainly an urban legend. But I still think that Foul Play should get its due credits!

What were they thinking?
Obviously, they weren't

Ridicule is the only weapon which can be used against unintelligible propositions. -- Thomas Jefferson
We see monsters where science shows us windmills. -- Phat
It has always struck me as odd that fundies devote so much time and effort into trying to find a naturalistic explanation for their mythical flood, while looking for magical explanations for things that actually happened. -- Dr. Adequate
...creationists have a great way to detect fraud and it doesn't take 8 or 40 years or even a scientific degree to spot the fraud--'if it disagrees with the bible then it is wrong'.... -- archaeologist

Smilies in the Bible
I came across this while posting in another thread:
quote:
Rom 2:14-16 For when the Gentiles, which have not the law, do by nature the things contained in the law, these, having not the law, are a law unto themselves: Which shew the work of the law written in their hearts, their conscience also bearing witness, and their thoughts the mean while accusing or else excusing one another In the day when God shall judge the secrets of men by Jesus Christ according to my gospel.
I had to turn smilies off in the post so jaywill wouldn't think I was making fun of the Bible. I wonder what Paul was trying to tell us (nudge nudge wink wink).
More proof that the Bible authors were ahead of their time.

"It appears that many of you turn to Hebrew to escape the English...." -- Joseppi
