Can a post qualify for COTD?

I'm also disinclined to believe that Jesus was divine, though, but if you think of it this way: does your hand know how you intend to use it? It may instinctively try to rebel if you move to put it in the fire, but not before it feels the heat.
(I also only identify as Atheist so that I can avoid confusion. Too many people have too many ideas about what "God" means for anyone to ever use it in a way that is clearly understood.)

I don't think folks will like it that much.

Now, of course, I'm fascinated by the idea that not only could the sacrifice have failed, but that it actually did fail, which is why their needs to be a Second Coming. It makes the Bible into a history of God's failed attempts to rectify his creation--answering the question, I guess, about whether he can make a rock so heavy that he can't lift it (the answer being: well, he can definitely make a mistake so perfect that he can't fix it).

So, I agree with you, and I think that the passage from Mark could be expanded into a fascinating discussion of Jesus' fallibility (and, by extension, the possibility that his sacrifice actually didn't go the way that it was supposed to). But there's no way to convince a believer of that, because you're living in the wrong epistemology.

But no! That story is a hundred percent awesome! Trees walking--that's some Oliver Sach's shit. Jesus gave the man the power of sight, but not the neurology of sightedness. So the man could see, but didn't have the capacity to understand what he was seeing!
Not only is it biologically awesome, but it's a nifty metaphor for the difference between exoterica and esoterica.

Today, they focused on the grossness that is Rick Warren, so it stands to reason that there will be fewer "But, he doesn't like AIDS! It's inclusive." statements.
Just my observations. That said, I'm still going to miss the hell out of Crappy Hour in 2009.

It helped calm me down and make me feel less alone after yesterday's crappy CH.

At least, I hope this is how it happens.

I see Anabel Breslin as Lou and Vince Vaughn as a hyper, slightly neurotic Jon Favreau. Jeffrey Jones would make a great Rick Warren.

WARREN: No, and the reason why is because we all have biological predispositions. I'm naturally inclined to have sex with every beautiful woman I see. But that doesn't mean it's the right thing to do.
Which isn't going to stop me from sleeping with every beautiful woman I see... I'm an evangelist, don'tcha know.
