Quote# 45103

[creationist trying to excuse the practice of misquoting]

From Pvblivs: "To the christians on this blog:

"Have you noticed that when people accuse Ray of taking quotes out of context (quote mining) they actually provide the context they say is appropriate? In short, they back up their accusations. It's not a case of claiming quote mining without evidence."

But what they are overlooking is what is hidden inside the context. Smart writers/speakers who don't want to openly concede a point will sneak a seemingly insignificant statement into a paragraph or so, knowing that their followers will never doubt them for a second, and knowing that their detractors are often to afraid of such accusations to point out such incidents. It's very easy to do. It's called manipulation, and you guys are victims of it.

How do you feel about murdering small babies, Joshua?

"It's very easy to do."

I rest my case.

So no matter what someone actually says, their words always mean only what you want them to mean. Congratulations on being far weirder than even Orwell could imagine. You clowns are on the outer reaches of Douglas Adams' mind when he was drunk and feeling particularly silly.

So you're saying that good writers insert small inconsistencies and errors into their own work so when critics do not correct them, the author can shove it back in their faces?

Are you a fucking idiot? I don't think you've ever read anything critical about anything, ever.

What is amazing about fundtards is they really don't understand what science is, they try to argue their case like lawyers in a courtroom rather than scientists in a lab.

Yes we are manipulated by facts. How non-delusional of us.

Anevilmeme: The first ever ID book was written by a lawyer. The theme of the book was, can evolution be found "guilty" beyond a reasonable doubt of being the origin of species. The author concludes no.

What is manipulating me is the crass stupidity of your simplistic mind (or whatever it is that keeps your ears apart)

Have you noticed that Ray Comfort censors SORRY moderates his comments?

"they are overlooking ... Smart writers/speakers"

Yeah he probably overlooked my comment on his egg bullshit.
