dystopia: Hmm, you may have a point. I neglected to count the isotopes of stupid, which seem to be uncountably infinite in number while hydrogen has a mere three. The question then arises whether there are any isotopes of stupid that can be fused or fissioned and what its critical mass might be. If so, we may yet find an inexhaustible supply of energy but the very real danger of producing a black hole of stupid cannot safely be ignored.

con-tester: one thing that you forget is that the stupid people are generally far more common than hydrogen

if someone is stupid enough to stare into the sun, then he is stupid enough to to stay blind. there was an episode of house where a nun was admitted, one of her sisters said: if i break my leg, then i believe it was god’s will. but i also believe that it is his will that i put a cast on it
if only real religious people were that sensible, then there would be no problems. religion would simply be something that some people do, like play tennis or erode the human soul

Or, more generally, if god had any real benevolent concerns for humanity, he’d've (a) made us out of adamantium (he left out the “-antium” on his first stab) instead of long, semi-stable hydrocarbons, and (b) kept the amount of stupidity in the universe at a minimum instead of making it nearly as common as hydrogen.

here’s what the fundie actually did say. Apparantly little miss Zackey is utterly unrepentant, claiming that it’s not her fault and she’s praying for the woman. “It went out of my hands, people look at the sun at their own risk,” she said. “I am not the sun.”

But here’s the piece of religious doublethink that really pisses me off – quoting her doctor:

“Let’s hope that God is kind to her and she recovers,”

You know what? If God was kind to her, he wouldn’t have got her into that situation in the first place! If God was kind to Amal Nassif, she wouldn’t be blind in the first place!

Yep, I do believe that Con has brought balance to the force. The new breed may be out there, but residentR’s fundie is still in the disconcerting majority……

residentRsole: Don’t run yourself down — you did clearly say that your version is one that might issue from a fundie’s festering brain, whereas tenmiles’s account would be one expected to be given by a “New Breed” proponent. I don’t therefore think it’s an “either/or” situation, and I feel that both descriptions convincingly do justice to the spongy sieves that pass for minds in their respective originators.

The underlying non-reasoning is essentially the same in each case; the only differences are in eloquence and blatancy.

tenmiles: I have to admit that your account is better than mine. Well done.
