You Have Got To Read This Wingnut Column |
If you need any evidence that the theocrats don't understand science,
statistics, or logic - have a read.
You bet your life

When Judas Iscariot agreed to deliver Jesus to the chief priests on Maundy
Thursday some 2,000 years ago, he was betting that Jesus was not who He
claimed to be - the son of God. Judas' payoff was 30 pieces of silver.
However, that betrayal cost Judas his life. History has shown this wager was
against impossible odds.
Today, many are going against the odds and making that same wager.
Just what are the odds that Jesus was God's son?
Although, we will not know with absolute certainty until we die and are
confronted by our Maker, overwhelming statistical probability is considered
proof by the scientific community. For example, DNA evidence is often the
proof needed to get a crime conviction, even though the probability of a
match may be 1 in a quintillion (1 with 18 zeros after it) or one in 10 to
the 29th power if using a full profile.
Consider the proof in the Bible that Jesus was who He said He was.
The Hebrew Scriptures pointed the way to the promised Messiah and went into
great detail about His birth, life and death through prophecy. These
prophecies were made many years before Jesus' birth and the Dead Sea Scrolls
confirm that they remained unchanged.
Oxford scholar Alfred Edersheim compiled a list of 456 identifying
characteristics of the Messiah from these prophecies that were fulfilled by
Jesus.
Dr. Peter Stoner, professor emeritus of science at Westmont College,
calculated the probability of one man fulfilling just the major prophecies
with the help of 12 different classes of 600 college students. Then, he took
more conservative figures to the Committee of the American Scientific
Affiliation and had them verified using the data supplied in the Bible.
Stoner looked at these eight prophecies:
Born in Bethlehem (Micah 5:2).
A messenger was sent to prepare the way (Malachi 3:1).
Made a triumphant entry into Jerusalem as a king riding on a lowly donkey
(Zechariah 9:9).
Betrayed by a friend that resulted in wounds in the hands (Zechariah 13:6).
Price of betrayal was 30 pieces of silver (Zechariah 11:12).
The blood money was used to buy a potter's field (Zechariah 11:13).
Offered no defense at his trial (Isaiah 53:7).
His hands and feet were pierced (Psalm 22:16).
The estimate of one man fulfilling all eight of these prophecies was a
staggering 10 to the 17th power, a number with 17 zeroes after it.
In another calculation, he used 48 prophecies and came up with a probability
of 10 to the 157th power, an impossible figure to achieve without Divine
intervention.
Exactly what do these numbers mean?
Stoner gave us this example. Ten to the 17th power would be the number of
silver dollars needed to cover the entire state of Texas, two feet deep.
To help us visualize 10 to the 157th power, Stoner chose one of the smallest
known objects, the electron. An electron is so small that it would take 2.5
x 1,000,000,000,000,000 of them laid side by side to make a line, single
file, one inch long.
Space, according to some estimates, extends in all directions to a distance
of 6 million light-years. Dr. Stoner asked us to imagine a solid ball of
electrons the size of space. Now fit that space-size ball of electrons, into
a ball of electrons 10 to the 157th power. How big of a dent would our
space-size ball make? It would make a hole so small that it would not be
noticeable.
Remember, that number 10 to the 157th power represents the probability of
one man fulfilling just 48 of these prophesies and there were 456 that Dr.
Stoner and his mathematicians could have used.
Let us go back to the odds that one man could have fulfilled just those
first eight prophecies. Imagine that one of the silver dollars covering the
state of Texas, two feet thick, was marked in red fingernail polish. You are
given the task of walking throughout Texas, reaching down and selecting the
right one on the first try. Suppose your very life was on the line. Could
you do it?
Would you bet your life on that?
Of course you would not, but that is, in effect, what you are doing when
you, like Judas, decide to reject the tremendous amount of evidence that
Jesus Christ was the son of God and the only way to the Father.
Christ willingly laid down His life to pay the price for our sins in order
to give us the gift of eternal life. It is a free gift - yours to accept or
reject.

Well, why don't you ask Jesus Christ about it when he returns to judge

Hiding behind God again. He's just like an Iraqi insurgent. He attacks
and
then he runs like hell and prays for God to cover his ***** for him instead
of
letting God tend to his own flock.
He's not smart or brave enough to be an Iraqi insurgent.

The cure for AIDS is morality.
Yep. People used to believe sickness of any and all kinds was
the result of sin.
And syphilis? Is that caught in a hetro monogamous relationship?
You even find such references in the bible. You're one of the

that still believes such things. What sin causes a cold? What
sin causes pneumonia? How about diabetes?
I sure in the hell don't blame God for MY Diabetes. You lefties are

Larry's diabetes is The Lowered's Will.
S/he must therefore be glorified for giving it to Larry in the first

Hence, no blame -- only Prize.

No ... in the case of Scratch who blames immorality for disease it follows
logically that it must be his own sins and guilt over them that are causing
his problems. So which is it Scratch - your guilt for YOUR sins or an
acceptance that sin, per se, has nothing to do with disease for anyone?

Well, no -- it might not be His Own sins causing the diabetes.
If it's not a Gift from The Lowered, there's only one other possible
explanation:
He's possessed by the Diabetes Demon.
Exorcism is recommended. I can arrange it, in several different
styles. Each comes with precisely the same Performance Warranty that
Prior to The Lowered has.
Which is to say, None at all.
But the charge for the service will be the same withal.

Hey -- for a Price, I'll get you the Mormon Tabernacle Choir, if it's
something you Really want.
Might even get a TeeVee gig, comes right down to it.
Obviously there's a Market there. We just need to move it up-market
some, and make Big Bucks.
Gotta come up with a proper brand name, though.
Exorcism To Order just doesn't have much panache. Need something
Tonier than that.

some, and make Big Bucks.
Gotta come up with a proper brand name, though.
Exorcism To Order just doesn't have much panache. Need something
Tonier than that.

Ghost Busters
Been done, and probably copyright problems.
Demoniacs
Might work, if there isn't a team named that somewhere. But it lacks
an upmarket draw, I suspect.
No point marketing exorcisms to The Poor, after all. There's no money
in that. Unless you can get them on the teevee, that is, like the
Xtian Faith Healers do.
Gotta ponder on this some.

"Ghostbusters" has name recognition and a catchy jingle. And I doubt
that it is still under trademark, though you'd have to check.
