GOD Needed
Don’t panic. I’m talking about the GOD or NOT carnival. Seth, from Kingdom of Heathen, has informed me that he has received only two GOD submissions for tomorrow’s carnival. This isn’t exactly the ideal target audience for this message, but would some of the few theist readers that see this please send something in? This week’s topic is “Truth.”
Hmmm… The topic is truth and the theists have nothing to say. Now why might that be?

Yes, I think guilt is the proper motivational technique. Sadomasochists, all. (Humiliation also works.)

Does that count as an argument from silence? Hehehehe.

But more importantly, it’s up.

Correct me if I’m wrong, but it seems that there’s a marked lack of interest in the God or Not carnival among theists in general. Just look at the carnival homepage and see how many atheists have volunteered to host, compared to how many theists have.
Don’t get me wrong, I think it’s a great idea. But there seems to be a general tendency among theists to shy away from interaction, to avoid letting the other side have its say. Just look at how many Christian forums and weblogs don’t allow atheists to post, or delete incoming links from atheist sites, or refuse to link to atheist-written articles even when trying to refute them. I don’t think any atheist should be surprised by this. Adherents of a position that can’t survive rational scrutiny would have good reason to try to block out that scrutiny, and to spend as much time talking only to each other and reinforcing each other’s beliefs as possible.

Well, isn’t that the point? We’re trying to open a dialogue. All good things take a while to get off the ground.

Buning in Hell. That seems pretty scary, I suppose.

GOD:
Hey, who died & made you GOD? Oh, you did. That’s right.
So eternity’s been commuted to a lifetime? Mighty deity of you, I must say.

Maybe that’s why “Truth” is a hard subject for the GODS. CAN anyone tell the TRUTH, really, about EVERYTHING? Personally, I find telling the Truth always easy, as long as I don’t answer EVERY question. Think about THAT for a while.

Reluctant Atheist:
It’s an eternal lifetime.

…so I almost said what the doctor did. But then I thought, “No, that’s what the troll wants. I won’t do that.”
Cough.

Francis Bacon begins his essay, “On Truth,” with a biblical reference that might be of interest to this board.
“What is truth?” asked jesting Pilate, who would not stay for an answer.
