except GOD of course.

Everything must have beginning, except GOD of course.
Everything must have a creator, except GOD of course.
Every moral being requires higher power to give moral authority, except GOD of course.
Everything that ought to be done must come from a higher authority, except GOD of course.
Murder, infanticide and genocide is an immoral act for everyone, except GOD of course.
Impregnation of an unmarried virgin is an immoral act for everyone, except GOD of course.
Cruel and unusual punishment is wrong for everyone, except GOD of course.
It is immoral for one to allow human suffering when one can prevent it, except GOD of course.
One can not know they are right cause they can't know everything, except GOD of course.
Everyone requires faith to be in heaven, except GOD of course.
Anyone who follows their own path way will end up in hell, except GOD of course.

 

Be sure and clarify every theist argument by adding  'except GOD of course.'

Taxation is the price we pay for failing to build a civilized society. The higher the tax level, the greater the failure. A centrally planned totalitarian state represents a complete defeat for the civilized world, while a totally voluntary society represents its ultimate success. --Mark Skousen

Yeah, I was watching some

Yeah, I was watching some science show about the beginning of the universe and the various related theories and my theist friend asked me how I could possibly believe that the universe either came from nothing or always existed. I admitted it was mind-boggling. However, I said, it's no more mind-boggling than trying to imagine God as being created from nothing or having always existed.

No response.

This is a good one...I think he asked her permission and he must have married her to the holy spirit first!?! Yeah, thats it. Of course, you got me on all the other ones....

You should write more stuff

You should write more stuff like that and publish it. It's poetry.

No, just a false dichotomy. The theistic understanding of the Big Bang is very, very convoluted. As they understand it, the process goes something like this:

Nothing---------->Universe

Of course, this is plainly ridiculous, as anyone who studies basic Cosmology will know. A similar error occurs with creationist understanding of abiogenesis:

Simple molecules------------------>Bacteria

Which should be:

Simple molecules--->Adsoprtion surface, piezoelectric properties exhibited by crystalline surfaces forms the basis of catalysis---->Simple organic pro-polymers like PNA---->Pre-RNA world---->The formation of ribozymes----->Autocatalysis via ribozymal RNA templates----->Natural selection of ribozymes for self-replicative catalytic properties---->Formation of vesicles from phospholipids thermodynamically faborable in the water---->Segregation of ribozymes allows for mutual cooperation and selection----->Formation of first biological replicative system from the duplication of RNA----->Outphasing of RNA by DNA----->Formation of dsDNA templated polymerization-------->Cooperation of DNA as templated polymer of replicative heridary information and RNA ribozymes as the catalytic molecules of pre-cellular life in membranous vesicles---->Formation of the first polypeptides by RNA ribozymes with peptidyl transferase properties (this gives the ribozyme a selective advantage)----->Formation of active sites at pre-polypeptides leads to the outphasing of RNA as the central catalytic molecule of pre-cellular life----->Ribozymes are retained in certain necessary functions like pre-ribosomal translation---->Ability of ribozymes to hold polypeptides allows for development of tRNA---->Mutual cooperation of tRNA and ribozymes allows for the creation of an mRNA based translation system----->This gives rise to the first vesicular membranes holding cooperative systems which resemble the modern system of transcription and translation, forming the precursors of bacterial organisms----->Natural selection of the replicative hereditary molecules in these pre-bacterial organisms allows for more complex protein-based functions such as pumps, regulated ion transport etc.----->Formation of the first bacteria

"Physical reality” isn’t some arbitrary demarcation. It is defined in terms of what we can systematically investigate, directly or not, by means of our senses. It is preposterous to assert that the process of systematic scientific reasoning arbitrarily excludes “non-physical explanations” because the very notion of “non-physical explanation” is contradictory.

There are times I think the problem with folks not understanding this stuff is that it won't fit on a t-shirt.

How many things in this world are simple enough to fit on a T-shirt?

EDIT: That would make a good T-Shirt:

Then he would have been committing Pologamy since he knew she would be married to Joseph. So...

Pologamy is wrong for everyone, except God of course.

 

God reminds me of politicians, they always exempt themselves from the rules they make for everyone else.
