"300 million" is a fig...Eastern Orthodox. "300 million" is a figure that's casually tossed around, but nobody knows for sure. As the saying goes, "I'm not part of organized religion, I'm Orthodox." My own church has no formal "membership" roll; my priest "keeps it all in my (i.e. his) head."<br /><br />And yeah, back when I was an atheist I would have thought the today-me was nuts.Tony againnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2837001751311078781.post-1131432269010557172019-02-15T23:52:38.414-06:002019-02-15T23:52:38.414-06:00Tony D., I gotta take issue with the last sentence...Tony D., I gotta take issue with the last sentence of your second paragraph. Not all opinions are equally valid. Your team does do a lot of things that seem ... really strange to an uninvolved bystander. 300 million? I don't know what Christian sect you favour (except that the number is too low to be Catholicism), but most of 'em are more rational than Dave's emotion-based self-justifications as on display in this series.<br /><br /> -- Damian<br />Damian T.

And this "imaginary conversation" is what Dave has been on record as thinking most of the Old Testament is about since the "Cerebexegesis" issues of <i>Latter Days</i> back in, what, 2002? So if you see these essays as evidence of "unhinged," well, it's not "becoming," it's "has been for some time."<br /><br />And come to think of it, lots of otherwise reasonable people think the God of the Hebrews is "made up" in any case. I certainly disagree with Dave's exegesis (understatement), but then I (and over 300 million other human beings) adhere to a Church that teaches that this same God became human, died, and rose again - and that I and my fellow believers eat His flesh and drink His blood every Sunday - so who's to say one interpretive framework is more or less "unhinged" than another?<br /><br />And Matt, I loooove Feazell's <i>Last Supper</i>. Thanks for bringing it to my attention. Are some of the disciples looking at "smartphones?" Looks that way to me. The only thing that would make it funnier is if they were having a food fight.Tony Dunlopnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2837001751311078781.post-73279118861856367902019-02-10T21:32:10.828-06:002019-02-10T21:32:10.828-06:00What sheer, unmitigated lunacy this is.

As Dave continues his imaginary conversation between his made-up YHWH and his made-up God, he seems to be becoming even more unhinged, if that's possible.
