An atheist professor was teaching a college class and he told the class > that he was going to prove that there was not a God.

how could god be "busy" ? the story implies that god has limitations, god needs the football player to acomplish a task that he can not do. but, i thought god was able to do anything? could god be not as powerful as he thinks he is? if god was busy, he could not have prevented the professor from getting injured, possibly quite badly. that is a terrible thing to do to someone. i guess god does not "love" everyone, only his sheep. What about the football player? his football career is over, as is his stay at the university. Attacking a college professor is a very serious crime. His life is now in a shambles thanks to god. Will gods' football players attack others who do not belive in him ? I can imagine hordes of football players beating jews, buddists, hindus, and others who fail to be on thier knees before his glorious stupdifying splendor. Where is the proof that god sent the football player? Could the football player be a religious wacko? Perhaps his feeble brain could not cope with the idea that he is responsible for his own life and actions. Maybe he was scared to question all that he was taught about the big boogyman way up in the sky. Not being able to use critical thinking skills, he lashed out with violence. Clearly this is wrong. You cannot knock someone down for "dissin" you. If that was gods doing, it was childish,stupid and dangerous. Also why use the football player at all ? a 135 lbs wrestler would have been more economical. I think the story is false, where did this take place? I can't find any information about this attack online. You are being lied to, by people who wish to use your fear and lack of understanding to control you. ( and make a hefty profit doing so). religion is like mcdonalds, even though billions have been served, the hamburger still taste like the same old crap. I tried the "test" a few minutes ago, nothing happened. perhaps you should also. i will post a poll shortly and we can see results of the test. life is still good.
Whoa, it was just a joke. Perhaps this thread may have been better suited to the "Help From Above" forum, but I'm no moderator. o No: Ken, if you'd like to discuss this more, I'd be more than willing to take it over to the "Help From Above" forum or through PM's or emails.
Nudge nudge, psst: Ken does have a sense of humour (a pretty good one from what I can tell from his posts) and I'll bet he knew it was a joke too. His post was also a joke. And like the original post, he was also trying to make a point. He was pretty much taking the place of the smart ass child who ruins all of your jokes and anecdotes by pointing out the logical inaccuracies. Thanks for the post Ken. It's always fun to see who you're irritating this time.
Glen, DON'T waste your time taking this anywhere. Some have become well known in regards to this type of deal. If you need some further proof I will let a few others know, and I think they will agree. I read the joke above and it was funny in my opinion. Good humor, I think. Too bad some have no sense of humor even if they "can't find any information about this attack online." c-yaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa
explain the humor in attacking someone. If god had caused a clown to run in on big floppy red feet and hit the professor with a large custard pie, that would be funny. Am i invited back into the help from above forum ? did you take the test ? a funny joke : Jesus calls out to Mary from the cross: Mom get my pumps these spikes are killing me" i could go on and on.............
It is man's version of "kill em all, and let God sort em out" Ken:laugh: People "playing" Christians as well as non christians are free to play! Does man have free choice? Uhhhhhh yep (Hand me that apple over there Eve). Would God smile down on the football player for slammin the "teach"? Don't think so. Now that, that is cleared up feel free to laugh at any point :laugh:
I could tell it was a joke; didn't find it very funny, though. I guess that means I don't have a sense of humor. So... would anybody be offended at a joke making similar fun of deists?
And he found a new jawbone of an ass, and put forth his hand, and took it, and slew a thousand men therewith. And Samson said, With the jawbone of an ass, heaps upon heaps, with the jaw of an ass have I slain a thousand men Hey Ken, can I use yours? Mike
A thousand men!! sheesh you crazy christians . mikey Atwood i would lend you my ass's jawbone, but i would be afraid that in your religious delusions, you would use it to harm others as did that murderous fiend samson in the above quote. The ass's jawbone as a weapon of mass destruction? Sampson better look out he'll have G.W after him. I am worried about your desire to kill a thousand men, please do not. I think that you should seek help, quickly. Do not attempt to use an ass's jawbone to commit murder.
