Well at least my god is plausible.

The Report

Plausibility Quotient

Plausibility Quotient = 1.0

The metaphysical engineers have determined that your conception of God has a plausibility quotient (PQ) of 1.0. A PQ of 1.0 means that as far as the metaphysical engineers can determine your conception of God is internally consistent and consistent with the universe that we live in. A PQ of 0.0 means that it is neither internally consistent nor consistent with our universe. More than likely, your PQ score will be somewhere between these two figures. But remember that this is your PQ score as determined by the metaphysical engineers. The editors of TPM have no control over their deliberations, so don’t blame us!

*******************

What kind of God is that!?

The metaphysical engineers are happy to report that, to the best of their knowledge, the God you conceive is internally consistent and could exist in our universe. But they are less sure that what you have described deserves the name of God. She is not, for example, all-powerful. A God which knows everything or is totally benign may be a wonderful ideal, but is she really a God unless she has ultimate power?

We suspect that your God is not the traditional God of the Christian, Jewish or Muslim faiths.

In a related matter. I kicked ass in this game.

But sometimes I miss San Francisco.

This old man is a fool standing up to a thug. He never should of taken personal responsibility of the situation. He should of rely on law enforcement.

can do to a country.

Once the breadbasket of southern Africa, Zimbabwe now needs to import maize. The U.N. agricultural production index for Zimbabwe fell from nearly 107 in 2000 to just over 74 in 2005.

Exports of goods and services as a percentage of GDP averaged 33.5 percent in 1997-2001. UBS forecast this would decline to 9.9 percent in 2007

Lets all hope that the citizens of Zimbabwe vote out the current socialist Mugabe, err, I mean that this magical variable that has ruined the country will leave shortly.

Given how unimportant spelling is for understanding, why do some of you take such great pleasure in correcting me.

This reminds me of my PhD at Nottingham University (1976), which showed that randomising letters in the middle of words had little or no effect on the ability of skilled readers to understand the text. Indeed one rapid reader noticed only four or five errors in an A4 page of muddled text.

This is easy to denmtrasote. In a puiltacibon of New Scnieitst you could ramdinose all the letetrs, keipeng the first two and last two the same, and reibadailty would hadrly be aftcfeed. My ansaylis did not come to much beucase the thoery at the time was for shape and senqeuce retigcionon. Saberi’s work sugsegts we may have some pofrweul palrlael prsooscers at work.

The resaon for this is suerly that idnetiyfing coentnt by paarllel prseocsing speeds up regnicoiton. We only need the first and last two letetrs to spot chganes in meniang.

This was not easy to type!

Reminds me when Dennet came to Duke and proposed totalitarianism as the solution to religion. What I find alarming is the failure of these people to understand the problem with religion is not the beliefs per se, but rather that the those beliefs are so true it justifies forcing others to abide by them. The more definite the definite article you place in front of your truth, the more problematic you become for a liberal institute. These guys are sounding awfully definite in their truth.

This sounds really fun.

Point Break Live!, is an original concept and adaptation by Jaime Keeling of the 1991 Keanu Reeves/Patrick Swayze extreme sports movie Point Break.[1] Sometimes credited as the first-ever “reality-play,”[citation needed] each features a new, unrehearsed actor in the protagonist role of “Keanu”, reading their lines from cue-cards delivered by a production assistant.[1] The play premiered in a sold-out 2 month run co-directed by Jaime Keeling and Jamie Hook at Seattle’s Northwest Film Forum[citation needed], and has since toured throughout the country, including extended runs at the Bryant-Lake Bowl in Minneapolis[2], and Galapagos Art Space in Brooklyn, New York.[3] The show played recently at the La Tea Theater in Manhattan, and is currently playing at Charlie O’s Lounge in the Alexandria Hotel in downtown Los Angeles, where much of the movie took place. Notable “Keanus” include: Justin Pierre from the band Motion City Soundtrack and Juli Crockett, lead singer of the Evangenitals.

This is what truth actually looks like.

There was the day in February when an editor replaced a photo of Hillary on her Wikipedia page with a picture of a walrus. Then there was the day this month when a Hillary supporter changed Obama’s bio so that it referred to him as “a Kenyan-American politician.” But such sweepingly hostile edits are usually fixed quickly by other Wikipedia users. Often, it’s the most arcane distinctions on the candidates’ pages that provoke the bitterest tugs-of-war. Recently, an angry battle broke out on Hillary’s page over whether to describe Clinton as “a leading candidate for the Democratic nomination” or just “a candidate,” since each phrase implies a different shade of judgment on her chances. Five minutes after an Obama supporter deleted “leading” just after 11 p.m. on March 8, another editor put it back. Seven minutes after that, the word was deleted again. Some thirty minutes after that, it was put back. On it went, with different Wikipedia editors debating the significance of Hillary’s delegate deficit on her talk page and accusing each other of introducing the dreaded “POV”– or “point of view,” a violation of Wikipedia’s most fundamental principle–into the article. At around six in the morning, completing the atmosphere of pandemonium, somebody replaced Hillary’s whole page with “It has been reported that Hillary Rodham Clinton has contracted genital herpes due to sexual intercourse with an orangutan.”

Just a whole bunch of people with differing opinions.

At the Nuremburg war crimes trials, Nazi sympathizers actually argued that the atrocities of Germany’s blueprinted Final Solution were no worse than some battlefield policies of the Allies. And throughout the ensuing Cold War, Marxist supporters in the press pitifully pointed to the United States internment of Japanese-Americans during World War II as symmetrically contemptible to Stalin’s Hitler-exceeding mass murder.

Moral equivalence. What a joke. Its takes a whole bunch of nuance to make one side with moral equivalence.

Slight paraphrasing of Dan’s argument:

The US military is completely and totally identical to Al Qaeda.
