Demons aren’t God or gods. To use an illustration, deity is like fruit pies and demons are like custard pies; one can object to fruit pies without objecting to custard pies.
I’m still laughing at this: “supports” can mean “is in favor of” – that’s why I don’t think “supports” is quite the right word here.
This is the humor thread however.
A small percentage of atheists believe in demons but how many of them believe in demon possession besides your friend? Who would do an exorcism?
You should read the thread. I was clearly in the minority when I said there is no demon possession. At least two of the moderators openly expressed belief in demon possession as did most of the regular participants. That guy Caspar was a moderator. Really big into defending biblical demon possession. Even the demonized pigs that flew off the cliff.
You can flag anything I write and it will disappear like magic.
Keeping in mind the wise reminder it wasn’t a true bird, I thought this extension of @jpm’s meme was funny, too
It was funny, so it fit the thread well and should stay.
I’ll take it as a subversive commentary on forms of religious art that I don’t like. In which case I think it may be as meaningful as the original.
“Early bird” is also in the name of Eoornis; it got the worm even though not everyone got the jokes. Eoörnis pterovelox gobiensis - Wikipedia gives a brief summary, and copies of the original monograph are not hard to find online; a thorough search through my papers might turn up a copy, if it hasn’t been lost.
I love how the angel on viewer’s right is all like “Check out this guy!”
- “Classmates was dedicated in 2006 on the campus of the University of the Incarnate Word. Sculptor Paul Tadlock had no idea that a frenzy over the piece was to follow. When the sculpture was revealed, some students and faculty laughed, some were angered, and nearly all gravitated toward the same nickname, deeming it the “mansplaining” sculpture.”[https://www.atlasobscura.com/places/classmates
By “mansplaining”, they mean the standing figure is helping the sitting figure understand a concept that is too difficult for the sitting figure.
Thanks for reminding me that I forgot to put in the explanatory quotation marks.
“Like that, he will come back again.”
By the way, that was Sproul’s pithy rejection of full preterism
That sounds a little condescending. That means talking down to someone.
