My niece recently got her SAT results. She was in the top 0.7% in America. GPA 4.35 too with AP courses. Several offers from top Universities and not 18 years old yet!! OK Boomers the country is saved!

148 is enough to join Mensa.

fyi – Omni collection.

@Michael – I became a member of the 4 Sigma Society. 

Well done on passing that one. Did it take Kevin a long time to send you the test results?

I was once offered membership to “The 1000” but I declined.

Yes, think I got it but will not post it.

I don’t think you are one to lay traps for troubadours who get killed before they reach Bombay 🙂

@Micheal some anagrams take a little more work.

Psalm 19:1-6

The heavens declare the glory of God; And the firmament sheweth his handywork. Day unto day uttereth speech. And night unto night sheweth knowledge. There is no speech nor language. Where their voice is not heard. Their line is gone out through all the earth. And their words to the end…[Read more]

@Reg

That’s great! What a stiff crowd!

@Davis

Just because my sentence ended, does not mean my imagination did too. I imagine something like a scorpion tail…

Tell that to the good people of Vancouver. The Catholics ended up all red in the face.

God’s brain and Satan’s penis

Jody. Why-ever would you believe that Satan has a penis. That simply lacks creativity. Satan has an appendage that is obviously far more incredible and magical than we can possibly imagine.

I love that the first few posts I read on here after being away awhile are regarding God’s brain and Satan’s penis.

Not only has the God of the Christians got an ass and a brain, it is also known that His blood type is AB.

If I ever meet a Catholic that actually knows that I will give them a box of Ferrero Rocher because they, like the chocolate, are just a gem!

Why would anyone assume that God had a physical brain?

So God doesn’t have a brain?

Simon you had announced that Dr. Bob had passed away. What was that all about?

There is a laundry list of preposterous ideas in mainstream Christian eschatological literature. I encountered 40 years worth of it.

I know how that feels Michael :-). I have occasionally despaired of the infantile mentality of adults that I share the planet with.   I have met a few who could not wait for the End of Days. Some of their laundry l…[Read more]

@Michael17 – I have tidied up a few repetitive posts for you.

Rationalwiki is a wonderful and  hilarious source for all the numerous problems with the bible. There are numerous articles (some very well documented and written). My three favourites are:

Prophecies

Historical accuracy

Scientific errors

I have Jean Claude Van Dammed that “Beast from Brussels” story a few times. Once we learn to think critically rather than to think magically we can almost “know” that a story is false. Not all swans are white so it can pay dividend to look for black ones.

Michael, you now say the story is preposterous but for how long have you believed it to be…[Read more]

So causality has no ontological status…

The lack of a question mark at the end of the above sentence has caused me to consider ransacking a library. Wittgenstein and his sentences on the meaning of words!! If only I had some a priori information of the question would its effect be lessened or if not would it have caused a greater lesson?
