They tied me to a chair

And made me watch this: Bananas: The Atheist’s Nightmare

Yes, Bill, the natural and wondrous alignment of those ridges and grooves. I believe.

    Bananas are indeed a convenient piece of fruit. But what about all of the inconvenient fruit? You know, like say… Watermelon for instance. All of those dog-gone seeds and it is so juicy that you always end up with a sticky mess on your hands. I guess the sweet temptation of this, and other messy varieties, is evidence of Satan? I’m a Christian but this has got to be the most stupid of arguments to prove the existance God. I bet the big guy up stairs is wondering if he left out the brain on those two in the video.

    Somewhere I see a James Lileks “Gallery of Inconvenient Fruit” coming on line.

    I want to write the Kiwi chapter.

    Hey John, I’m an Evengelical and I think this is a whole new level of stupid. The video does not help. One is not saved by a banana. Kind of like some arguments I get into about Grape Juice vs. Wine. Or when a 350# Brother is ranting about homosexuals and I ask him about gluttony. Chirp. Chirp. Chirp. No, I won’t be a Decon. My problem? Pride. Oh, boy, do I fight pride.

    Looks, it is the Commissar’s Confessional!!!

    CDR Salamander,
    Well at least there is two of us that understand that the idiocy of these types of arguments do not promote Christian teachings, but to the contrary debase them. The whole thing is a silly distraction from the real message of salvation through Christ.

    “One is not saved by a banana.”

    and it is a good thing to… I’m more of a Orange kinda guy myself.

    While we’re at Commie’s confessional… My big No No is that I don’t love my neighbor and certainly don’t turn the proverbial “other cheek”. Hunt the Moslems and Ki… Ooopps. See what I mean.
