Do you see any benefits to religious faith?

[Pat Mustard]

Bullshit, you're some kind of fundagelical. This fact is evident in pretty much every post you make. All your points are to defend the biblical view of the world, from science through morality all the way to the supposed historical validity of the bible.

It's bloody annoying when people like you lie about your religion.

I gather that he's easily taken in by "deepities"; a "postmodern believer" who, in essence, thinks all religious are metaphors to describe "the super-real"; I am willing to bet that "everything is nothing and nothing is everything," and similar such declarations, which might impress a small group of hippies sitting around a fire tripping on LSD, would also describe the feelings of a believer like himself.  Like I said, a lover of deepities.  His posts are better examples than those which I could conceive.  That's my sense anyway.

He describes himself as telestai. From the context given he probably means tetelestai, demotic Greek for it is finished, which appears twice in the bible in John 19:28&30 at the culmination of the crucifixion scene. Do a duck duck* go search of the word and you'll see it crop up in fundie circles a lot (fundies have a right grá for John despite it being mostly made up [ok compared to the synoptics]). And given the similarity of his prejudices with the avowed fundies on here (scientific illiteracy, demanding that we accept the bible as a literally true and accurate historical document, blindness to contrary evidence even when it's waved in his face, preaching), the conclusion that Arkilogue is a fundie evanvelical is inescapable.

* I say duck duck go because google locational context will skew the results.
