BC at it again....

When I first saw the cartoon I thought it was a jab at creationists. This guy is serious?
 
I really liked B.C. when I was a kid back in the '70s. But then he found Geezus and now I can't stand to read it.

This page tells how he became born again. Not exactly a burning bush...

" Finally, my wife and I bought a satellite TV system. A father-and-son team came out to install it -- and it turned out they were born-again Christians.

We had several TV sets, so every room I went into, these guys would have Christian TV on. I'd go into one room and see D. James Kennedy. I'd go into another room and see the PTL Club or another preacher. I began to sit and watch and listen, and pretty soon I got hooked on it.

I began to read the Bible, to realize it was the Word of God, to find out that Jesus died to take away our sins, to learn about salvation and grace and all this fantastic stuff.

That's the part that always amazes me. It is a powerful god indeed that can make people desire and follow what are essentially game show hosts.

Promoting Jesus in a comic named B.C. makes me so dizzy I need to sit down. Hail Eris!

He's saying that any scientific claim that omits god is fiction.

For instance: trying to explain 'thunder' without mentioning Zeus.

"Thor".

You blasphemer.

I note you both posted this on Thor's Day.

They still carry some weight, like it or not.

Science will never disprove God because no matter how strong the evidence for evolution, big bang, whatever, you can always just say God caused it to be that way.

Now if he's a young earth creationist, then he's a willful idiot.

AND he hides all proof from you AND he wants you to believe without proof AND he is fully capable of, and willing to, hide from you with infinite, ultimate skill.

If science were to develop some reverse-time viewer and watch the movements of every single atom of the earth, including all humans, for billions of years into the past, I'm sure not one single miracle would be observed. For the Lord is wiley and will not be tricked into being proven that way. It's true! :)

In the case of Cher, is there any other explanation?

And if this is the case, how did God help her, anyway? Make her act a little better than she otherwise would have? That's not deserving of an award, for her anyway.

Or did he fraudulently sway the minds of the judges to give her an undeserved award?

In no case can I see getting an award from humans because of God's help to be anything other than an embarassing example of fraud. Perhaps if the judges were evil or incompetent, and were going to, incorrectly, select the wrong person, and God just put them on the straight and narrow, correct path, well then maybe it would be acceptable to "thank God for the award."

Yeah but don't forget he didn't expect his favourites to believe it all on faith - bloody hell he even let Thomas shove his fingers in the holes - yucky or what?!

If the disciples weren't expected to believe it all, despite living with him for years, witnessing all the miracles and then the resurrection I think it's a tad inconsistent that the rest of us are meant to believe it all based on a book with a very dodgy publishing history!
 
I think I need glasses. I read the original cartoon as complaining about claims that "emit goo".

It made more sense.
