And yes, since you mention it (--- and ONLY since you mention it ---) you do have spelling mistakes in your post.<BR/><BR/>"Universities" got their name because when a person emerged from one, they were supposed to emerge with a fairly "universal", well-rounded, education, & the ability to think and function around other well-rounded thinking types. Not just be able to write computer code or repair furnaces, etc. That would be "training". The type of class where some student inevitably sticks up his/her hand and asks "Does spelling count?" on the essay questions.<BR/><BR/>(*scre-e-e-e-ches to a halt*) I'm wasting my time with this one, aren't I?

Its not just this post ive noticed this in and not just on this board as well. To point out someones grammer/spelling mistakes is babyish and petty. Additionally, feel free to point out any mistakes i have made as i realize it will make you feel good about yourself.Stevehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01889715046002589467noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3424478.post-64895370876329974892007-07-30T17:47:00.000-05:002007-07-30T17:47:00.000-05:00Alana: I had an inkling of what was going on after...Alana:<BR/> <BR/>I had an inkling of what was going on after i had finished it the first time but i took at again and immediately knew.

It's not really nice to hurt your rep in such a way that you had to go out of your way to prove how ironically-challenged we've seen you to be (not physically "seen", but you get the picture, right? Or do I have to spell it out? Didn't think so...)<BR/><BR/>I'm sure you were just "tired" or something and weren't thinking straight. Bring your opinions back sometime.

You shouldn't be so serious all the time.<BR/><BR/>You see, the problem as I see it is not that the Bible contains errors per se but rather that it is touted in its entirety as the "Infallible" word of god. Let's not prevaricate; it is the antithesis of infallibility. The mere fact that it was written by humans testifies to the fact.nm156https://www.blogger.com/profile/17837972660789819861noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3424478.post-58113321017523102282007-07-29T15:17:00.000-05:002007-07-29T15:17:00.000-05:00Alalna, my time is valuable too actually, and I th...Alalna, my time is valuable too actually, and I think enough of it was wasted on christianity.<BR/> At least we can laugh about it now.SpaceMonkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08141918044867387223noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3424478.post-47479665484639815192007-07-29T14:16:00.000-05:002007-07-29T14:16:00.000-05:00Maybe the test shows people just how befuddled the...Maybe the test shows people just how befuddled the gospels really are, which then shows how befuddled "fundies" really are.

On that we agree.<BR/><BR/>Presumably having some experience with literature and critical thinking - you did attend university, after all - surely you're familiar with the use of irony to make a point. That's what the quiz was predicated on.<BR/><BR/>It's impossible to "pass" the quiz, because every answer is taken straight from the Bible and demonstrates some of the contradictory aspects of scripture. It's only through the use of equivocal terms - contradiction is redefined as tension, for example - that a harmonization is possible. The irony is that this book is supposed to have it's origins with a perfect entity. <BR/><BR/>In any event, you're entitled to your opinion, but no one forced you to waste your time taking a quiz that, if you were just a bit more versed in biblical contradictions, you should have known you would fail.J.
