As a former fundamentalist christian, I can tell you that you can get quite good at doublethink. However, once the walls come down, it is difficult to rebuild them.

I think that's what helped me to get rid of my religious beliefs. I realized I was just making up ad hoc explanations to try to make sense out of a lot of religious beliefs, many of them bible stories.
Christian apologetics is the art of rolling a dog turd in sugar and selling it as a donut.

There's no clear consensus around here on that one.

Umm, was this thing a flame-bait?

This guy has a single post in his own thread and hasn't checked in since yesterday. Normally, if I post on such an active forum, I have to check in quite frequently to keep up with all comments and refutations being made.

Then again, this does seem like a bit too much work just get a few laughs.

Then again, hes a fundy, so I can't expect him to be rational.

He's posted this on so many forums, I doubt he remembers them all.

Perhaps he's in church.
I have studied the Bible and the theology behind Christianity for many years. I have been to many churches. I have walked the depth and the breadth of the religion and, as a result of this, I have a lot of bullshit to scrape off the bottom of my shoes. ~Ziploc Surprise

How odd.When I feel like hitting someone my palms itch.

You probably have crabs. Shave your pubes and you should be fine. If that doesn't appeal, dangle your nuts in boiling water. Guaranteed to stop the itching. Tiger

Perhaps, but first you'd have to define your usage of the word "itching"
