There's a more basic problem here: his grammar. Perhaps his attempt at rhetorical flourish (alliteration reached critical mass in that podcast) is to blame but "..his verbose veracity for his own position..." is a pretty sad construction. One cannot have veracity for something.

I'm not some nit picky grammar cop, but come on! That's f-ing egregious!

Okay I'm pulling out now before I commit any more sexual puns, or get any god fluids on me.

It's so good to see you here, and to see that your sense of humor is intact. How have you been?

It's certainly appalling grammar. What is 'verbose veracity' supposed to mean?

I have to say all his talk of God's ejaculate...

You have to be joking. Please tell me you're exaggerating.

No, sir, I am not exaggerating. Not only did Mr. Shirts mention God's ejaculate repeatedly, using the exact term "ejaculate", calling it God's great creative force, he referred to God as "spilling his seed" in acts of procreation and described the look of satisfied joy on his wife's face. He was essentially commenting on God's incredible sexual prowess.

Two of his sources were the Kabalah and the Zohar - and the entire podcast was about God's penis and how He uses it. No joke.

I don't know, but I think he's been smoking whatever Bob Dylan was smoking during the 60s. He should have thrown in "silver saxophone" just for the heck of it.

Hey runtu! Thought you'd spot me before now! KA must have blabbed. I'm just counting down the weeks til sabbatical...we should catch up via email soon!

Back on topic...Shirts appears to be quite the size queen: notice the many times he feels compelled to describe the size of the books he's quoting from:

"..and this book is over 300 pages thick..."

"...and I have the 3rd edition, the 3rd enlarged edition..."

"...its a huuuuge tome..."

I've got to find a way to capture this soundbyte, "...the outpouring of semen. ooooh haw! Now that's bold!" is indescribably hilarious. You just have to hear the sound of his voice! I want this on my answering machine.

I thought it was you, but I've been stressed/distracted this week. But, yeah, she blabbed. LOL

I was in my office yesterday morning with the headphones on shaking with laughter. I like Kerry, but that was bizarre.

Oh. My. Goodness.

He also seems to be confusing non-lds scholars possible verification of ancient Hebrews believing god had a body with non-lds scholars verifying that god has a body.

All throughout he collapses discussions of interpretation of religious and cultural myths and folk beliefs into discussions of "fact."

Yes, that line had me choking with laughter!

I thought Kerry sounded overly excited during the entire podcast. You'd think all that talk of semen would leave an odd taste in his mouth, but he seemed to enjoy it.

Doesn't "...the outpouring of semen. Oooooo haw! Now that's bold!" sound like the kind of dirty bedroom talk Mormons are supposed to avoid? I think I'll use that line tonight and see how hubby responds. I'll try to say it just like Kerry.
