[QUOTE="Hespera, post: 50198090, member: 236382"] A few years ago i sat on an airplane, the guy next to me turns out to be a minister. He wanted to talk religion, maybe he figured I look like a pagan or Buddhist or something. I guess I do at that! I think some religious talk is interesting, if its kind of intellectual at least. So my first Q was to see if he was a fundie, the opposite as i see it, of intellectual. Anyhow.. ended up talking about Noah's ark. He said its not only real, but, people have seen it. I told him, Marco Polo reported that someone had just discovered Noahs ark! For something that has been discovered so many times, its sure hard to find out where it is or see a photo or anything. So he says, well it is in a glacier, and the cracks open up, you can see it, then they close...ok i said, the glacier would long since have carried it out and dumped the little shreds out at the end. Well in the end it turned out that everything he said was true, because god was telling him what to say and the devil was telling me what to say. So I learned something from that, there is a way to rationalize just making things up as you go along! And not just rationalize it but make it the holy word of god. So Im not so sure that all of our practitioners of the art on this forum have any feelings other than maybe warm glow of righteousness every time they lie. ps I ticked him off by saying that I am profoundly disguested with anyone who believes some of the things he subscribes to.
