Theodore J. Winkelspein III?
I thought it was Winkelspein IV!
But, waddo I know!

What imagery that elicits!

TOO funny Old Git! Keep that up, and America’s ‘Saturday Night Live’ will be looking for you…
or maybe Tony Blair’s minions?

This ground-breaking finding came to light after researchers had originally tried the experiment to see how long it would take the monkeys to churn out the complete works of William Shakespeare. As the lead researcher, Theodore J. Winkelspein III, said, “We were absolutely amazed at the outcome, for this proves definitively that God has made a monkey out of his believers!”

ROTFL. That explains EVERYTHING!

Wouldn’t a perfect creator be able to create a holy book that was incorruptible and perfect? Further proof of the non-divinity of the babble.

No doubt he/she/it would, but recent research
has shown that their so-called ‘holy book’ was actually written by a tribe of monkeys bashing away at typewriters over an extended period of time.

Old Git – I guess xians and non-believers alike must all be “misinterpreting” Genesis 19:24 when God kills everyone (men, women, children, infants, newborns) in Sodom and Gomorrah by raining “fire and brimstone from the Lord out of heaven.”

I was recently told by fundie family members that non-believers are “just misinterpreting” the bad parts and just taking certain parts of the babble and twisting them to justify our rejection of the invisible sky daddy beliefs. That was a good one, wasn’t it?

Does that mean that I don’t have to kill my kids if they give me cheek?

Phew, that’s a relief!

Chuck A: I figured out why it is important to do this stuff. I’m not going to change the mind of a Fundy, but all these blogs have lurkers who are still not convinced one way or the other. Many are young. If I have the time, I have no problem CORRECTING theists when it comes to their views of Atheists, which usually includes a large dose on why they are wrong about most things religious.

Thanks for the nod (aw, shucks, he said, drawing a line w/his toe & looking away embarrassed).
What! “Atheist Warriors”?
That made me think of that scene in the ‘Warriors’, where [David Michael Kelly?] has an empty beer bottle on each finger of 1 hand, & clacks them together, chanting, “Warriors, come out to play-yay!”
Substitute the loony xtian of choice as the gang leader.

Yeah, allegory sure leads to some twisted neural pathways, don’t it?
I took a few swings, but am unsure as to whether I want to disrupt their circle-jerk much further. I might get splashed w/…a metaphorical something-or-other.
He should rename the site ‘Ipse Dixit for jay-sus’.
