Bump, Set...but no Spike over at MAD

Post by _cinepro »

Ok, in a discussion about Martha Beck's book and her claims over at MAD, Smac97 says....

So if she cannot be trusted about claims that are falsifiable, why on earth would we trust her about claims that are not?

-Smac


I've still got whiplash from my double-take.

Why does this argument sound so darn familiar? I just can't quite place it... oh yeah, that's right. It's the very same argument that the Mormons refuse to apply to their own leaders (or to Martha's father, himself).

Can I get an "lol FARMS methodology", anyone?

LOL!!

You know, cinepro, it's too bad you're banned from there. I would LOVE to see you (or anyone else, for that matter) bring the implications of that post to their attention.

Look at post #15 in that thread... :idea:

I suspect that anyone who gets within 10ft of making a comparison would feel the wrath of the moderational cattle-prod. :surprised:

And of course Smac doesn't get it.

LOL again! I don't know what's funnier; Smac97's initial statement or his epic failure to grasp cinepro's point.

That line is an all time classic. I just added it to my sig line.

That's definitely signature line-worthy material, but I strongly suspect that unless someone SPECIFICALLY uses the name "Joseph Smith" in reference to his two sentences, Smac97 still won't get it.
