Always on the lookout for new horseshit theological terminology, and this certainly qualifies.

I used to rely heavily on SubGenius literature to keep current with theobabble, but never encountered this before.

It was often difficult to tell which were "legit" (using the term loosely here) and which were new coinage.

Will have to fish out some copies of The Stark Fist of Removal for a revisit.

that's desperation.

they both have a similarly unpleasant aroma...although there is a certain Karmic justice (not that i believe that) in the current level of desperation exhibited by so many churches whose attendance has been steadily declining in spite of the increasing population.

Redefining "god" again to try to circumnavigate science. Trying to keep the ancient superstition viable and alive.

How can you lose with a panentheistic god? It's MORE than everything!

No amount of logic can make that make sense.



Y'know how when Lawrence Krauss did his lecture (and book) on "A Universe From Nothing" theists clung to the "your definition of nothing is not nothing...." I wonder if we'll get a bunch of arguments on the definition of "everything".

(BTW.... the theists kept moving the goalpost for what could reasonably be called "nothing" until the definition for a "real" nothing was "that from which only god can create." )

of guys with advanced degrees in mystical nonsense who need to be published and considered among the great minds as deep thinkers....too many folks fall for the doctorates in advanced made up hokum as adding some sort of validity to the study of the reality of fantasy.

Who knew the Jedi mind trick was really just taking advantage of man's desire to be fooled into thinking he's not only not alone in the universe but that a godly being created him and can't wait to share his home with his creation.

sounds like an oxymoron to me.

We all sometimes need a third party to talk to. Religious people can talk to their minister, but for people like me, an anti-social atheist, usually don't have anyone that is totally disconnected. I have one really good friend, but I don't see him often. Plus, being a friend, he may be a little biased

Reminds me of the old joke about the university Bursar who complained about spending to the Physics Chair.

"I don't understand why you chaps spend so much on electronic gizmos and huge machines. Why can't you be more like the philosophy department? All they spend money on is pencils and erasers. Or even better theology; they just need the pencils."

Sounds ... uh ... kinky ...

I want to put it on my Facebook...I do like to challenge people.

We can't detect his presence because he's not here. You can't see him because he's everything. To borrow from sagan, why not save a step and eliminate god all togeer, nothing will change as a result.
