Book for all to read. Especially Fundies.
#8
RE: Book for all to read. Especially Fundies.
There was a story about a rather famous scientist (and it's aggravating me that I can't remember his name) who was also a pretty devout xtian; apparently he took a pair of scissors to his bible and chopped out all the supernatural, mythical and other supposedly non-literal bits. When he'd finished he remarked something about being unable to pick up what was left of the book without it falling completely apart. Can anyone throw some light on who this was? As far as I remember, he remained a believer despite this.
At the age of five, Skagra decided emphatically that God did not exist.  This revelation tends to make most people in the universe who have it react in one of two ways - with relief or with despair.  Only Skagra responded to it by thinking, 'Wait a second.  That means there's a situation vacant.'
