Christians say the Darndest things...and then some.
Intro:
Andrea had a great idea. It's easy pick out the stupid. But she also recommended that I give a shout out to the level headed. I agreed. So let's hop to it. Here's a couple laughable tidbits and an honorable one.
The morons:James Hale says (link):
But why has man held to a seven day week? The only reason is the creation story. It points to the story in the Bible. But does Man listen? [emphasis mine]
Only...
Shotgun says (link):
I (as a Christian apologist) will not let you, or Richard Carrier, get away with alluding to other people without first proving that other people exist.
Yes, proving Richard Carrier exists is impossible. But assuming God exists...priceless....
The sensible:Freddy Davis says (link):
All I meant was that most people who want to pick a fight with Christians are not going to come to this site if they are not prepared to deal with people who are going to give them good answers. Your answers are not "wrong" based on a Christian worldview, but you are not dealing with someone who accepts a Christian worldview. My only point is that there are other ways to give an answer which makes sense to someone who is attacking from a different worldview perspective.So wait...regurgitating endless bible verses isn't the surefire way to convince atheists? No wai...
Outro:Fun? Goood....

Quite so! The atheists need to rise up and demand an eight day week, if only to acquire longer weekends.
@Jimbo1023 - Damn straight.
Wait... if the seven-day week proves that the Christian creation story is true, then what do the names of the days prove?
I like Jimbo's idea... what shall we call our eighth day?
@ithiliya - Something unoffensive with wide-spread appeal across all cultures. Like "Cheese Puff."
So, what are we all doing on Cheese Puff?
@drung888 - Interesting. I thought we'd stick with the theme and name it after our own personal gods and goddesses... so it would either be Maynarday, Gaimanday, or possibly Jolieday for me (except that I'd have to throw in some kind of caviot about her pre-baby-factory days because now she just kind of looks like a well-defined twig).
But you know? "Cheese Puff" is kind of fun to say... rolls of the tongue nicely
I like it.
"Cheese Puff" sounds like a veg kind of day. Sooo.... Guitar Hero?
@Jimbo1023 - @ithiliya - @drung888 - I can see the headline now: "Atheists lobby to refute creationism by adding Cheese Puff to the calendar." haha
@WAR_ON_ERROR - Meanwhile in the business section... "Frito-Lay stocks skyrocket on announcement of new day of the week"
@Jimbo1023 - lol
Solid as always.
