Responding is up to you. BUt the interesting part to me was the genuine bafflement I feel at your apparent lack of an objective critical faculty.

Perhaps a perusal of my profile will pacify your palate?

So basically you admit that you are mad.

I wasn't shouting; that was a copy-and-paste from my profile.

 

[Tomatoman]

Hmmm. I don't often look at profiles, AV. I'm more interested in what people post.

I've long since come to the conclusion that creationists would all benefit from psychiatric treatment, but I'm still surprised to see one be so open about being bonkers.

By the way, you're not presenting yourself as a very good advert for creationism. Not that there can be a good advert for creationism, but you know what I mean.

That's why I brought my profile to you.

You're not alone in thinking we need psychiatric care.

This is how people who see religious symbols on the Rorschach Test used to be scored:

The guidelines reveal the test’s religious bias. If a person sees religious symbols, those responses will generally be scored as abnormal. The Rorschach Interpretation: Advanced Technique authors say:

Religion contents are virtually never present in the records of normals. Their occurrence is associated with profound concern about the problems of good and evil, concern which, almost always, is a screen for and displacement of guilt induced by sexual preoccupation. Religion contents may be used to infer critical and unresolved problems of sexuality . . . [religion] responses are most common among schizophrenics, particularly patients with delusions which concern religion.​

Notice the article uses words you see a lot here?

By the way, you're not presenting yourself as a very good advert for creationism.

-- I'm not?

Not that there can be a good advert for creationism, but you know what I mean.

Ya -- I think I do.

In other words, I don't go along with big bang, evolution, and annihilation-after-death?

AV:

It's not what you don't believe but what you do believe that is cause for concern.


The Rorschach quote is very funny, but I think they are taken a little less seriously now than they used to be. Still, there may be something in it.

What I meant when I said you weren't presenting a very good advertisement for creationism was that someone effectively saying 'Yes I believe in this stuff but I'm mad' wasn't the best slogan I'd ever heard.

You do, however, seem to be unruffled by it all, which I've decided to take as a good sign rather than further proof of industrial strength religious intoxication.

Okay -- I see what you mean now.

"Mad" as in goofy-gaga mad; not "mad" as in angry-mad.

I look at it this way:

There's mad, and then there's:

Which is how I have come to view you.

I've grown to really dislike the likeness of Alfred E. Neuman thanks to AV.

So Santa is God?

No, it's Superman.

No, He is a SuperSanta; His gifts are given supernaturally.

 

[AV1611VET]

No, He is a SuperSanta; His gifts are given supernaturally.

I had a pamphlet that actually compared Jesus and Santa side-by-side; and it's uncanny how Lucifer really meant what he said, when he said he would be like the most high.

Zec 2:6 Ho, ho, come forth, and flee from the land of the north, saith the LORD: for I have spread you abroad as the four winds of the heaven, saith the LORD.

Santa (from the North Pole): Ho, ho, ho!

God created everything in six literal days.

Not according to Genesis 2:4.

It is to be taken literally -- (assuming you're talking about Genesis 1 & 2).

There are too many internal clues that tell you they are not literal.

And this universe will end with a "big bang" -- not start with one.

2 Peter 3:10 But the day of the Lord will come as a thief in the night; in the which the heavens shall pass away with a great noise, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat, the earth also and the works that are therein shall be burned up.

Apples and oranges. The Big Bang is not the same as this.

You know, AV, you've never really answered this one:

Why don't you listen to God in His Creation?

 

[lucaspa]

Do you think these are connected?

 

[AV1611VET]

Why don't you listen to God in His Creation?

I normally don't dignify a question that carries an embedded insult with an answer; but for the record: 9 .

 

[AV1611VET]

Do you think these are connected?

Yes -- but I have a feeling you won't agree with the connection.
