He was the main cretinist protaganist on a creation v evolution thread that ran for ages on perthriders.com.(about 175 pages over the span of 2 years)

I'll have to post some of his best stuff to give you an idea of how truly stupid he was.

I did track him down on one of the Australian christian forums where he was very quickly banned.

Even other christians couldn't stand him.

I would blame it on government policies here in Australia, which have basically shut down a lot of mental hosptials. These days they authorities only put people people into mental wards now who are a danger to themselves or others.

Actually the Holy Bible fails the consistency bit, if you just read it as another piece of literature, it would not be all that great quality wise.

Oh, I am fully aware of that. I was talking about fading's hypothetical bible.

That's the only reason they should be, locking people up who aren't a danger to others is a gross violation of rights be they mental or not.

Just: WTF???

I regard the bible as potentially errant, not that I've found any evidence of this at all. So I'm at "prefect until proven otherwise".

And yet you are intelligent enough to read a screen and work a keyboard. Amazing.

Perfect means flawless. What is it that you consider to be the flaws that God is missing?

Yes there is.

So a perfect god is an ass.

That I could worship.
