    Lying eternally, internally and externally.

    Every time I try to think down to religious moron levels I get a headache….

    When Superman was first introduced in 1938 he was strong enough to leap tall buildings (but he couldn’t fly), he was invulnerable to bullets (but could be hurt by artillery), and he could outrun a locomotive (but wasn’t much faster than that). By the 60s and 70s though he had become so overpowered that he could move planets, travel through time, and burst the very bonds of infinity. This made it so difficult to create sensible storylines for him that his writers eventually decided they needed to scale back his powers.

    Yahweh was first introduced as a storm god who was strong enough to defeat monsters like Behemoth and Leviathan (feats that were still considered worthy of bragging about in the later Book of Job). By the middle ages though…

    We allow people the comfort blanket of eternal life and seeing loved ones after they and we are dead. If you are stupid enough to believe that once your brain stem dies you somehow have your conscience uploaded into a cosmic cloud without a shred of evidence then there is no helping you…

    There are many beds I’d like be in except for one, the Procrustean.

  6. M27Holts says:

    Well I had never heard of that particular Greek Myth…what are you trying to say? That wanting to abolish all wishful thinking is Tyrannical?

  7. Donn Cave says:

    In my youth, among the books on the shelf was some Greek myths, the Procrustes story among them, and as I later encountered references to it, I formed the idea that this was more or less common vocabulary among educated people. Not so, it turns out, though it should be. I can imagine the disappointment of the Greeks who set up that story, if they knew how few of us are able to take advantage of their metaphor.

  8. postdogerrel says:

    I’ll probably be cut off at the knees for saying this, but if Procrustes were given equal representation in the Cock & Bull’s pantheon, it would behoove the author to clean the sheets Jesus and Mo share after Procrustes had done his thing there.

  9. M27Holts says:

    My Erudition rules are quite different, being able to understand the standard model of quantum physics and being able to use Navier-Stokes equations to understand problems of liquid viscosity rather than old crusty myths that even religious morons can understand. Classics graduates are all filled with physics-envy…🤣

  10. postdogerrel says:

    M27, you are stretching the bounds of the venerated Turing test. How much twaddle have you had to ingest to come to the summat obvious solution that religionists are wankers and don’t have the maths?

  11. M27Holts says:

    and before anybody says that “their geology professor still believes that the Earth is only 6000 years old because it’s written in the Buy-Bull…They wouldn’t get employment in any seat of learning if I had anything to do with it. They would be told to fook right off…

  12. M27Holts says:

    I am just using this site for venting….I don’t shout at the telly as much then and annoy her indoors….🤣

    My latest beds have been inflatable.

  14. Donn Cave says:

    I’ve been making my own bed and sleeping in it for over 40 years. That adds up to two beds only because the first one wasn’t really worth hauling over to the other side of the world. Jesus supposedly having been a carpenter, perhaps could have managed better than I did, but then I never recall hearing any testimonials to how good a carpenter he was.

  15. Rrr says:

    If Jesus had been a sofaist he would never have had to make his own bed.
    But that would have been a later evolution, so it is now futon to toss over.

  16. Choirboy says:

    Strange how you never hear later about all that gold and expensive spices he got as a baby. Either the old Wise Men/Kings were meaner than made out or there was a degree of profligacy in his youth that meant he had to turn his hand to a bit of woodwork to make ends meet. Would have thought his influential dad could have done better than that.
