I think the idea is if we all have his contact information we can all email-bomb him over the site. Not sure what that would really accomplish, though.
 
Sorry, your right, i was thinking more along the lines of they were partially prosecuted for beliefs that were a little too 'uptight' for many people, along with other things. What can i say i was working on a train of thought and didn't communicate what i was saying well. but you did make me look some stuff up and if you just look at some of these fun facts you would think the whole puritan culture and everything to come from it was based on self inebriation. (This relates to post #46)
 
All one has to do is read a bunch of other posts on that site to see how far gone they are. Their "science" is awful and their arguments are weak at best. Religious extremists of any kind always exhibit the same level of self inflicted ignorance and they just tailor real science to fit whatever they want to say.

After reading their "Signs of the Rapture" article I wet myself. They use the same tried and failed reasoning to say that Christ is on his way. Wars/famine/earthquakes, etc... Yet they never seem to acknowledge that this world has been at war, dealing with famine and disease, and suffering earthquakes and other ND's every year since Jesus left this world...

Plus I like the post that asks why is Wine so evil if Jesus himself made it? Shouldn't water have been the Godly choice?
 
From the dinosaur page:

Crazy Website said:
IN VENEZUELA
Dinosaurs have been sighted.

Not out of context...that's an entire statement supporting the existence of dinosaurs in modern times. No source, no date, no names. But, some goody-goody with an agenda said it, so...

Clearly I must rethink my position on dinosaurs...and beer, too!
 
You know what that article makes me want to do?

DRINK A BEER!

Oh, and all the poisonous chemicals...I doubt any of that stuff is used in any high concentration anyway, but, yea, that's why I brew my own :drunk:
 
My eyes rolled so hard I have a headache. :rolleyes:

It's almost as bad as when some christmas carolers came by the other night and left us with a little book about their beliefs. I tried reading that thing on the crapper and I laughed so hard I almost fell off (fortunatley I did not :D).
 
I'm going to try to smoke hops out of a bong. Maybe that's the ultimate way to get high IBUs?

Monks brew beer right?

In McGillan's in Philly there's a great old sign that reads "Gentlemen in this establishment will refrain from discussion of religion or politics". I've always loved it because it's two things nobody knows anything about but will physically fight someone else over.

Wtf?! I mean I was raised in a pretty conservative family but even when we went caroling, it was to spread "tidings and good cheer", and have a little fun while bringing the family marginally closer together... Can't they let us have anything??
 
Holy crap.... WHY DID NO ONE TELL ME BEER CONTAINED CHEMICALS?

I better keep this crap away from my family! Wouldn't want them exposed to any nasty chemicals with long scary names.
 
I didn't catch the name of the anointed one on the website. I take it that he (she?) regards brain chemistry on alcohol and hops to be impaired. I take it also that he firmly believes dinosaurs still walk the earth.

Hmm....who's really detached from reality?
 
That's un-be-freakin-leavable. The comments about how poor the rationale and science were have all been said, but it does remind me of a joke/anecdote:

A guy decides he's going to open his bible up at random each morning and pick a sentence wherever his finger lands and focus on that for the day. So he opens up his bible and puts his finger down on the page and right under his finger it says "Go and kill yourself." He thinks this can't be right, so he flips to another random page and puts his finger down and reads: "whatever you do, do it quickly!"

If only the guy who wrote that page had done this....sigh...
 
Personally, I find it hard to beleive that beer has everything.

But seriously, people that claim that Jesus and his disciples never drank alcohol are ignorant of history and the Bible itself. They are twisting the words of scripture to their own benefit.

Read about the temperance movement and you will see all the same arguments being made. Only some are scientifically valid, and none are Bible-based...
 
Got to "The Bible Says" and closed the think. I figured it was some religious nut.
 
For what it's worth (defending the minority of rational and sane believers of my own faith), here is a website that goes through nearly every Biblical reference to alcohol. The conclusion is that, of course, drunkenness is condemned. But hell, we condemn that in general in the beer drinking community!

Bible.org: The Bible and Alcohol

Doesn't the Pvb 31:6,7 in your sig kinda contradict that? I'd need to be pretty loaded to forget I was destitute.
 
`Some batches of beer are so cloudy and unappetizing no one would dare drink them`

Apparently these folks are not fans of heifs
 
They forgot to mention that the largest ingredient in beer is water, or as they would have probably listed it "the dreaded di-hydrogen-monoxide".
 
These guys also don't believe in DNA and lots of other stuff.
Loonies.

FRAUDS AND FAKES #2
(DNA)

There are 50 trillion cells in the human body. If you extracted all the information from the DNA it would fill only 2 tablespoons.
If the DNA was stretched out it would reach from the earth to the moon and back 5 million times.
If you filled a book with all the information contained in DNA you would have enough to fill the Grand Canyon 40 times.
The chance of creating one DNA molecule by CHANCE is 1 x 10119,000
In other words - IMPOSSIBLE!
