Re: Good Grief its Friday
I am a big fan of PZ. He exudes reasonableness.
What can be asserted without evidence can also be dismissed without evidence. -Christopher Hitchens Facts don't lie or have an agenda. Facts are just facts "God did it" is not an argument. It is an excuse for intellectual laziness. If your viewpoint has merits and facts to back it up why would you have to lie?

My favorite Easter joke.
Did you hear they canceled Easter? They found the body.

Re: Justification: Impeccable Reasoning
we need to do an exorcism on you today. Your anti-theist demon is gleefully mocking the Spirit with a feisty ornery spirit of his own. Stop by the Cathedral and we have an extra gallon of holy water with which to scrub you. You need to bring no alms. We consider it a public service.

Richard Niebuhr, The Kingdom of God in America “The most difficult subjects can be explained to the most slow-witted man if he has not formed any idea of them already; but the simplest thing cannot be made clear to the most intelligent man if he is firmly persuaded that he knows already, without a shadow of a doubt, what is laid before him.” — Leo Tolstoy, The Kingdom of God is Within You

Exorcism
Not going to work. The demons all left me yelling and screaming when I vanquished Elohim and his whole mob from the universe when I was 16. Should have seen the looks on their faces. Oblivion did not agree with them at all. They won't be back.

Re: Justification: Impeccable Reasoning
Holy Water is not a Roman Catholic exclusive. There are protestant denominations that also use consecrated water in specific settings. A good example is the Rite of Baptism from the Book of Common Prayer.
Thanksgiving over the Water The Celebrant blesses the water, first saying The Lord be with you. People And also with you. Celebrant Let us give thanks to the Lord our God. People It is right to give him thanks and praise. Celebrant We thank you, Almighty God, for the gift of water. Over it the Holy Spirit moved in the beginning of creation. Through it you led the children of Israel out of their bondage in Egypt into the land of promise. In it your Son Jesus received the baptism of John and was anointed by the Holy Spirit as the Messiah, the Christ, to lead us, through his death and resurrection, from the bondage of sin into everlasting life. We thank you, Father, for the water of Baptism. In it we are buried with Christ in his death. By it we share in his resurrection. Through it we are reborn by the Holy Spirit. Therefore in joyful obedience to your Son, we bring into his fellowship those who come to him in faith, baptizing them in the Name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit. At the following words, the Celebrant touches the water Now sanctify this water, we pray you, by the power of your Holy Spirit, that those who here are cleansed from sin and born again may continue for ever in the risen life of Jesus Christ our Savior. To him, to you, and to the Holy Spirit, be all honor and glory, now and for ever. Amen.

Re: Justification: Impeccable Reasoning
I use tap water. Refill old water bottles, the ones with the sports tops, and keep them in the fridge. I have six of them. A couple of them are getting on 10 years old.

Ah, but Cathedral is also not a Roman Catholic exclusive. The National Cathedral in DC is Episcopalian (and one of the grotesques is Darth Vader).

Re: Exorcism
16 tear-old fantasies don't count. You may well have become an anti theist when the demons tricked you into seeing Elohim as the bad guy, but you had neither the mental capacity nor the spiritual "knowledge built up from your fantasy reading to accomplish such a feat. Good try though. Looks like we may need to ambush you with the holy water. or perhaps we could disguise it and simply encourage you to drink it. Where is our squirrelly little Mr.Deity when we need him?

16 tear-old fantasies don't count. Yes, mine did count since my mental capacity at 16 was far above even the most learned of gods. I was surprised how weak, sad and non-existent the gods were when I kicked them out. As for your offer of holy water, I just refilled all my water bottles and won't need to refill again for about a week, but thanks, when I get low I'll contact you.
Where is our squirrelly little Mr.Deity when we need him? Right here, Phat. You do know you can get your Mr. Deity fix on YouTube any time you want, right? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G-z94O_beJc Edited by AZPaul3, : No reason given.
