Bible-beater pilots

So be nice to those missionaries. The person you are being polite to might
just be yourself. :-)

That reminds me of an instance when Dave Obey came back to our home town
from Washington to walk in the annual parade. He stepped up on our porch
and asked me for his support and I quickly told him I was proud to be
Canadian (I'm not Canadian) but it shut him up in a hurry.

Anyone ever run into this before? What did you do?

I was raised with a Catholic mother and a Baptist father and while
moderately religous myself, I do not like to be preached at like that
at all. I usually look them straight in the eye and tell them I am
Jewish. That usually shuts them up instantly.

I once had a friend (he's dead now) that would call me up when he got a
"cold-caller" phone call, he'd put the salesman on conference call with both
of us and we'd rake the guy over the coals. One time it was a woman and my
friend and I acted like we were taking auditions for a 1-900 phone sex
company. I'll give the girl credit, she had a great sense of humor and
played along.

Sometimes it's the funnest part of my day.

You're not a well man, Jim.

'Course, that's why I like you! :-)

Proselytise.

While we're on the topic of spelling : Jay, it's Prairie du Chien (not
Chein).

Bible Beaters are fine.

It's the Floor Floppers who are a pain. But, whatever floats their Ark.

I think if Thomas is willing to *say* "Oops" at that moment, that'll
speak very favorably to him.


Me? I plan on pulling Buck Henry and James Mason aside and saying - Hey,
you guys made a mistake!

What's the betting we'll get more posts than the
JFK thread??

According to the Hitchhiker's Guide, the Babel fish was put forth as an
example for the non-existence of God:
"I refuse to prove that I exist," says God, "for proof denies faith, and
without faith I am nothing."
"But," says Man, "the Babel fish is a dead giveaway isn't it? It could not
have evolved by chance. It proves that you exist, and so
therefore, by your own arguments, you don't. Q.E.D.."
"Oh dear," says God, "I hadn't thought of that," and promptly vanishes in
a puff of logic.
"Oh, that was easy," says Man, and for an encore goes on to prove that
black is white and gets himself killed on the next zebra
crossing.

I tried using that argument that as a Math atheist I ought to be excused from
math homework and exams.

It didn't fly.

-I've long equated Religion with Mathematics. Each begins with a
-hypothesis that cannot be proved or disproved, and everything builds
-on that assumption.
