Upvote just for that phrase.

Anyone want to put this one in EIA?

Upvoted because I like insects.

Octopus = scary smart.

Upvote for the first Darwin video showcasing a female doing something stupid. Rare, indeed.

Does any gold star here wanna add this to the Humanitarian sift?

Upvote for teaching me some things. The typing was annoying though. What was he using? A typewriter?

Upvote for the lol I had.
If a goldie would come in here and add this to the Darwin collective, I think they would welcome it with open arms.

Upvote for actual Zelda sound bits being used in such a hilarious way. Also if one of the more um priveleged members could add this to the Video Game collective, I am sure they would appreciate.

Well. I will go ahead and downvote this.

Now let me explain why.
The analogy used is totally off. God gives us an unearned gift of pardon for our sin. The analogy that God has the knife to our throats is wrong. God doesn't hold the knife, we do. God has no intention to make us suffer for eternity.
Sin seperates us from God. Sin is a hole we dug ourselves and only Jesus can file that hole. It is totally up to us wheter we wish to receive that give or not (or as the analogy here in this video puts it - we can choose to slit our own throats or let God intervene).
But anyhow, the analogy in this video would have been better if sin was God's doing and not ours.


Poo. I just found out I still can't downvote.

Downvote for instead of saying "Maybe this book should not be taken literally page to page, cover to cover." they say basically say "All of this book="bullshit."

A good bit of the Bible is supported by history. Many of the Bible's battles are known to have happened. The Bible even goes so far to give details of certain battles. It is even sometimes used as a historical source.

Now, lets go through all those verses that Penn and Teller starting pulling out around 8:30.

Exd 21:7 And if a man sell his daughter to be a maidservant, she shall not go out as the menservants do.

God permitted slavery to exist in both Old and New Testament times. But this does not mean that slavery was a God-ordained system. Slavery was an invention of fallen man, not of God. Nevertheless, God allowed it to exist the way He allows other things to exist that He does not approve of: murder, lying, rape, theft, etc.
God also works within the system of fallen man and makes allowances for the freedom and failures of mankind within that system. We see this, for example, in Jesus saying that God allowed divorce because of the hardness of peoples' hearts (Matt. 19:8). The fact is, people are sinners and do things contrary to the will of God. But, even though people have murdered, lied, raped, and stolen, God has still used people who've committed these sins to accomplish His divine will. Moses murdered an Egyptian but was used by God to deliver Israel. David committed adultery but was promised to have the Messiah descend from his seed. This is proof that though God desires that people not do much of what they do, He permits them their freedom, yet uses the system and the people according to His divine will.
In the case of a slave being property, that is simply the way things were done back then. As I said, God worked within the fallen system of man and put limits and guidelines concerning the treatment of slaves.

Exd 35:2 Six days shall work be done, but on the seventh day there shall be to you an holy day, a sabbath of rest to the LORD: whosoever doeth work therein shall be put to death.

While the New Testament assures us that the 10 commandments were not drafted simply for "another age.", Romans 13:1-10 assures us that the Church has adopted them for our time as well. However, since the whole Old Covenant (the Mosaic Law, as specified in 2 Cor 3:7-14) has been set aside (Hebrews 7:18; 8:13; 10:9), then the Church can pick the religious and moral practices from the Old Testament as she sees fit to use in the New Testament. Therefore, she can decide to use the 10 commandments but reject the civil and ceremonial laws that were tied to the theocracy of Israel (e.g., eating shellfish).

1Cr 11:14 Doth not even nature itself teach you, that, if a man have long hair, it is a shame unto him?

One should note that national customs furnish an explanation here. 1 Cor was addressed to a Greek audience, where long hair on men often indicated effeminacy and indulgences in unnatural vices.

This is where I ran into a problem. They say that verses 19-24 say that a man shouldn't go near a woman when she is on her period...
I am going to post verses 19-24 and you can tell me where you see that, because I don't see it. Perhaps that was just a mess up on Penn and Tellers part.

1Cr 11:19For there must be also heresies among you, that they which are approved may be made manifest among you.

1Cr 11:20 When ye come together therefore into one place, [this] is not to eat the Lord's supper.

1Cr 11:21 For in eating every one taketh before [other] his own supper: and one is hungry, and another is drunken.

1Cr 11:22 What? have ye not houses to eat and to drink in? or despise ye the church of God, and shame them that have not? What shall I say to you? shall I praise you in this? I praise [you] not.

1Cr 11:23 For I have received of the Lord that which also I delivered unto you, That the Lord Jesus the [same] night in which he was betrayed took bread:

1Cr 11:24 And when he had given thanks, he brake [it], and said, Take, eat: this is my body, which is broken for you: this do in remembrance of me.

Will somebody let me know when they figure out what verse they meant?

This video dissapointed me. I usually like their show and often agree with them on many things. This would be an exception.

Now that this is out of the queue, I will upvote this.

Upvote for originality.
