I think in part it is also an homage to stated old block's preferred secret F&T meeting snack. You know, the one he scoffs when he is pretending to cough.

It's the type of thing that passes for wit in the world of mopologetics.

To be fair, I also find your audience gratifying posts non substantive...

Just as your audience is pacified by your evasions, misdirections and self-serving rhetoric with a generous sprinkling of bad dad humor.

Why, oh why, has this turned into a pissing match?

Whenever someon chimes in, like DrW, did and starts blathering about how religious folks are stupid and stuff, it inevitably turns into something like a pissing match.
"you're stupid for believing stuff."
"oh thanks. Does that mean really smart qualified people who believe stuff are stupid too"
Buffalo chimes in to help, "those who pretend to be qualified people and are religious are just stupid too".
DrW, "yep".
And there we have it.

for what it's worth, I prefer Daniel Peterson's sense of humor to yours---I think his jokes are wittier and more creative. I'm sure many find the opposite to be the case. Different jokes for different folks I guess.
Also for what it's worth, I prefer somewhat more substantive back and forth instead of an all out pissing match. I'm sure that's not just me.
That's General Leo. He could be my friend if he weren't my enemy.

It's me, too.
This sort of thing becomes very boring very quickly. And irritating, if you get involved in it.
Is my memory faulty? I seem to recall that Buffalo (Chip) once posted more substantively. Anyway, I haven't seen him do much of that for a very long time. Maybe he never actually did.
I don't mean to be dramatic, but, really, I'm beginning to think that I'll just ignore him. Life is better that way.
