Razorcade and Darth's great big thread of funny remarks.

The idea here is to create a thread chronicling the BEST remarks made in any forum, show, thread, blog, or chat.

By BEST, we mean the funniest, cruellest, coldest, and most quotable comments/one-liners. If it needs too much explanation then it probably won't be as funny as it was initially.

Preferably, the person making the comment and the person the commented is directed at should remain anonymous unless permitted.

An example:

person1: I would like to do one on who would win a bar fight.

person2: XXXX, i only read as far as, "i would like to do one"

It was all well and good until the Belgian's splintered off and created their own sect. It was all down hill from there. Now there are so many different branches of the faith I can't keep track. Toaster-ism, microwave-ology, The Butterworth Contingent ...

You have CLEARLY stated you believe in a supernatural and transcendental deity, i.e. god. This makes you a theist, end of discussion.

I you have a driver's license and operate a motor vehicle, you are a DRIVER.  You may suck at it and hit every fucking thing you see but you are still a DRIVER. You may own a piece of shit that does not belong on the road but you are still a DRIVER. You may have a vehicle brand that no one else on the road owns but you are still a DRIVER. You may not use car for anything more than going to bake sales and going to the salon to get the bottom of your earlobes waxed but you are still a DRIVER.

You may not use your theism for anything but making your heart feel all warm and answering questions you cannot, but you are still a THEIST!!

Next up on the "Happy Happy Fun Hour Of Word Redefinition And Refusal Of Ones Own Beliefs", we have Ken from Florida who claims the because he believes god created humans 6000+ years ago in their current form and there were dinosaurs on Noah's Ark, it DOES NOT infer he is a creationist. Rather, he is definition unto himself and his beliefs do not infer what he believes.

Made me laugh so hard I snorted!

The book will describe how George W. Bush married an elephant in March of 2007.

The book will also descibe a magical toilet located in New York Central Station that grants wishes and is prophetic about the future of Katie Couric's career. Then the book will go on to describe the internet poster 'xxxxxx' and everything about the poster's existance will be factual.

 I particulary like the part about the magical toilet.

During the week there is no mention of god and no thoughts of god. On sundays they become devout believers.

I'm laughing again as hard

I'm laughing again as hard as I was during that show. That was such a priceless prank.

 

 

One of my favorite bloggers recently deconstructed the 'death cat' story. The whole thing was funny, but here is my favorite highlight:

Quote:
According to residents, the cat doesn’t even like people. Hello? Cat hates people, cat hangs out with people, people mysteriously die hours later? People please, if this were an episode of Colombo we would’ve already heard Peter Falk say, “Uh, sorry sir, I just had one more question…” and then the cops storm the place and throw Mr. Whiskers into frigging Cat Penitentiary for life x 9.

Let's have some fun! I am going to remove all of the useless parts of this post and replace them with "......blah, blah.....". We will see what is left.

Quote:


Below are a few observations about atheists:

Atheists love ......blah, blah...... there is no God;......blah, blah..... there isn't a God because ......blah, blah..... He doesn't exist. ......blah, blah..... no matter what you say to an atheist, the ......blah, blah.....response is ......blah, blah....."Well, prove it!".........blah, blah.....

It has been our experience that most atheists know ......blah, blah..... the Bible; ......blah, blah.....Jesus,......blah, blah..... an allegorical figure named Jesus Christ ......blah, blah..... " What's that got to do with anything? ......blah, blah.....belief in Yeshua (Jesus - the Jewish Messiah) ......blah, blah..... was ......blah, blah.....Nobody ......blah, blah.....! Yeshua was the ......blah, blah.....concept of ......blah, blah..... Paul ......blah, blah.....

Another atheist ......blah, blah..... fact that ......blah, blah..... a myriad "Christian" denominations ......blah, blah..... around the world......blah, blah..... killed each other over ......blah, blah.....their books ......blah, blah..... to believe what they taught?

Most atheists ......blah, blah.....ask themselves ......blah, blah..... try to find the answers ......blah, blah.....:


Now in this section I will replace the glaring errors with "......science explains.....", or useless parts with "......blah, blah....".
Quote:

* ......blah, blah.... the Bible is not a science book......blah, blah....

* ......science explains..... the Earth is here ......science explains..... gravity ......science explains..... bugs.....blah, blah.......

* ......science explains.....Why is it that water freezes differently from other fluids (it gets less dense), and ......science explains.....that it is critical for our very survival

* ......science explains.....Why don't trees just become pulp, a sappy mess when we cut them down? ......science explains.....Why do they remain intact as something we can use for fire, shelter, build houses, make paper, etc?

* ......science explains..... that atoms stay together.....blah, blah.........

* ......science explains..... astronomy......science explains..... the great number of stars......blah,blah..........

* ......science explains..... circulation of the atmosphere

* ......science explains..... principles of fluid dynamics

* ......science explains..... the hydrologic cycle


This section we will continue replacing the useless parts with "........blah, blah........".

Quote:
More questions and comments for the atheists:

* Since more than 300.......blah, blah........people "believe" .......blah, blah........ in the Bible.......blah, blah........people are blind.......blah, blah........

* If you don't believe .......blah, blah........ Bible prophecies have come true.......blah, blah........ the world's atheists to PROVE they didn't! Not with "opinions" or by insisting, "No, they didn't happen", but by absolute scientific PROOF! .......blah, blah........proof positive that Yeshua was never born .......blah, blah........the Dead Sea Scrolls weren't discovered....

* Prove that .......blah, blah........the Bible .......blah, blah........ thousand years ago.......blah, blah........ it didn't happen.......blah, blah........How could that have happened? Magic?

* PROVE that the conflict between.......blah, blah........ the Bible, and the Bible says .......blah, blah........ will NOT be resolved .......blah, blah........

If you believe nothing.......blah, blah........ you see .......blah, blah........ the world .......blah, blah........ earth as you know it .......blah, blah........ will spread good will and peace .......blah, blah........ and make your life .......blah, blah........ peace .......blah, blah........ the whole world .......blah, blah........

ATHEISTS: .......blah, blah........YOU have the .......blah, blah........ right to be atheists. So, we suggest, .......blah, blah........ spend all your time on the Internet talking about God, .......blah, blah........berating believers .......blah, blah........more constructively. With your constant attacks, you are .......blah, blah........ right.......blah, blah........

OP:

Quote:
I'm afraid Theism is not a mind disorder, no physchiatrist can even diagnose it. You also need to do better research, because I'm afraid there is no proof of atheism. You people seem to be too arrogant to look at all the facts right. And it is no wonder why a blind-eye like Richard Dawkins represents you people, even he can't even look for more research, because, among just a few things, I'm afraid religion doesn't encourage evil and no, in a lot of ways humankind would still remain troubled if everyone where like you people.

To answer your #2 question, Todangst:

 

I can't say for certain, but I suppose that it's because astronauts can serve as a sort of symbol for scientific advancement, and the moon landing was a landmark in our history. I chalk it up to a feeble attempt to make his creation introduction sound more like science and/or real history.

I would have prefered a Darth Vader voice myself. If there really was a God, I would hope that's what he sounded like.

While having a classroom debate with a professor, he called the literacy of prophets into question, punctuating with this bit of wit:

 

"Think of Mohammed for Christ's sake!"

 

A place common to all will be maintained by none. A religion common to all is perhaps not much different.

Quote:

shi shiye

Depending on the shengdiao (tones), the phrase "shi shiye" can mean several things:

Is cultured, educated, (or a cultural undertaking, an educational affair)

An industrialist, an industrial works

A rank-and-file soldier or NCO

A trained professional, a doctor, a lawyer, etc.

An educated person

At least, as I can recall straight off the top of my head. 

"Physical reality” isn’t some arbitrary demarcation. It is defined in terms of what we can systematically investigate, directly or not, by means of our senses. It is preposterous to assert that the process of systematic scientific reasoning arbitrarily excludes “non-physical explanations” because the very notion of “non-physical explanation” is contradictory.

I thought it meant thanks

I thought it meant thanks for the beef and broccoli.

Transliterating chinese to english has got to be like explaining microbiology to theists.

The sentence you tried to transliterate would literally read:

Xie xie ni gei wo nurou he yinghuaqiuhuayecai

Actually, Chinese has a very similar sentence structure to English, with a fairly even split, like English, between SVO and SOV. However, transliteration does not work very well in any language...particularly one which is not Roman. Added to that, my apologies, but it must be said, your spelling of the pinyin (Romanized Chinese characters) is atrocious. I understand now that when you said shi shi, you meant thank you, which is xie xie. But since Mandarin is monosyllabic, it would have been impossible for me to decipher it otherwise.

"Physical reality” isn’t some arbitrary demarcation. It is defined in terms of what we can systematically investigate, directly or not, by means of our senses. It is preposterous to assert that the process of systematic scientific reasoning arbitrarily excludes “non-physical explanations” because the very notion of “non-physical explanation” is contradictory.

The Following is an Essay

The Following is from an essay written by Lenny Flank in MARCH
of 2006. His essay describes the history of the "creation science" movements. The following is a reference to an Arkansas trial in which the YECs tried to push "Creation science" into public schools.

------------------------------------------------------

Quote:
"Not all of the young-earth creationists are scientists. One of the
creationist witnesses at the Arkansas trial was Dr. Norman Geisler, a
fundamentalist theologian at the Dallas Theological Seminary.
During his pre-trial deposition, Geisler was asked if he believed in a
real Devil. Yes, he replied, he did, and cited some Biblical verses as
confirmation. The conversation then went:

"Q. Are there, sir, any other evidences for that belief besides certain
passages of Scripture?

GEISLER: Oh, yes. I have known personally at least 12 persons who
were clearly possessed by the Devil. And then there are the UFOs.

Q. The UFOs? Why are they relevant to the existence of the Devil?

GEISLER: Well, you see, they represent the Devil's major, in fact, final
attack on the earth.

Q. Oh. And sir, may I ask how you know, as you seem to know, that
there are UFOs?

GEISLER: I read it in the Readers Digest." (Trial Transcript, US
District Court, McLean v Arizona, 1981, cited in Gilkey, 1985, p. 76)

 

All Hail Reader's Digest!
