O/T God botherers

I woke up with the classic freshers week road cone in my en-suite this morning. No idea where that came from.

And now i have to go and enrol...

erm, at a guess you got kebabed up, lost all senses and raided a traffic cone factory.

What uni are you at?

Summet like that aye ;-)

Lincoln.

I find putting on a Irish accent and pretending I'm a staunch Catholic usually gets rid of them :-)

I was raised a catholic, and told him this and then that I am now an athiest, and all he could say was 'why?' with a look of bemusement on his face.

Anyway, I feel good about taking him to town on his incorrect comments about evolution, and even better about being ever so polite about it all.

I'm thinking of looking up all the mormon/jovos/whatever and knocking on their front doors with a copy of a biology book in my hand and asking them if they've ever thought about a scientific education.

Mormons have extensive training and learn responses to common questions (or even responses to completely different questions) word for word.

Or wearing a Black Sabbath t-shirt and asking them if they've ever considered Satanism...

you need to go to the JWs asking if they'd like to give blood...

I usually point out that the Chief Rabbi wouldn't approve......

Oh yeah, forgot all about that one. I do have a genuine grievence with that. Hypocracy on a plate.

Why? It's not hypocritical if they refuse to both donate and receive blood.

There have been some good things coming out of their belief - techniques for reusing blood in ops rather than pumping new stuff in are now quite good. This is good for non-JWs too, as a) own blood is better than foreign, and b) it means there's more available. I'm not sure how mainstream this stuff is yet, but it's happening.

cheers, clive

Well yeah, but I was more concerned with the 'love each other as your brother' type stuff against the 'f*ck off an die even though medical centres can help' mentality. And the fact that they could have done it to their own child. Chilling.

There was a show here called John Safran Vs God where John did exactly that. He went to Salt Lake City with a mate and knocked on doors and asked people if they would like to convert to Atheism. Awesome show.

my mother is a doctor of theology or some crap, ive been trained from a very early age to ask those un answerable questions, always fun, but when ur standing on ur doorstep debating for 1 hour plus it can get a little incovenient

What happened to them? Any altercations?
