I saw an announcement in the local newspaper about a scheduled atheists-versus-Christians debate scheduled for later this week in a Presbyterian Church in Torrance, CA. If the response to this statement warrants I will add details.
Shit. I thought you were starting a debate.
Weakest Pitting ever.
Weakest comeback ever.
Weakest response to the weakest comeback ever.
I’m confused about what’s being pitted. And about what will be debated in that Presbyterian church. Perhaps my confusion on the first point could be partially obviated through clarification of the second…
Weakest 4th post in a thread, eVERRRR!!
Maybe we should generally post here about what people in various cities are debating each week. We have a city council race going on in Seattle. Not as exciting as “Atheists v. Christians.”
And not nearly as exciting as “Christians v. Lions.”
ETA: or “Atheists v. Aliens”
Or “Alien v. Predator”
The Lions had the more effective rebuttal.
It was forceful and vehement. But a bit of a non sequitur.
I live in Torrance, will it be open to the public?
As far as I know, Torrance is always open to the public. But is the public open to Torrance???
I’m not seeing a mention of any debate.
Depends, John. Does Torrance conform to community standards? Also, has Torrance accepted Christ as its savior?
ETA: In response to this:
I have no idea what is being pitted here, but in my desire to contribute, I have decided to discuss the history of the sock.
As you might imagine, the earliest known socks were actually animal skins. The ancient Greeks actually wore them, and the Romans wore leather socks or socks with actual woven fabrics. In the middle ages they were a sign of wealth. When the knitting machine was invented, socks could be made six times faster by machine than by hand.
Later, socks were made from blended fabrics, in blatant defiance of Leviticus 19:19. This was after farmers had already been planting different types of seed in their farms in order to more efficiently cultivate the soil. And after this, God became very angry. Or, depending on your perspective, no one became very angry except for certain fundamentalist believers in this deity. Also, it seems like this decree is on the same level of severity as the prohibition against homosexuality, but it also seems to be one that modern Christians seem to not care about as much because they like their blended fabrics and their cheap vegetables and fruits and grains. It is also a possibility that they simply expect gay persons to masturbate using a sock, as opposed to living a life of couplehood and fulfillment.
Also, socks are traditionally hung during the Christmas holidays for ornamental reasons, and are sometimes filled with small gifts or candies.
In the distant future, socks will gain sentience due to being implanted with electronic devices, and will one day rule over us, which wouldn’t have been possible if we had just stuck to normal socks without any blended fabrics or add-ons of any kind. Just say no to blended fabrics, kids. It’s in the Bible, not that you atheists would know that. :mad:
On the calendar, there’s a three day conference, 22-24. Probably part of that. No details.
Hey, why let anyone know? If no atheists show up, you win by default.
Or “Atheist Aliens v. Christian Predator”
“Socks versus the Human Resistance”
Would a Christian Predator look anything like this? (Possibly not Christian, but definitely pious.)
