Jesus and Mo: Cherry-picking

[trotsky]

LOL!

[Mr.Bill]

1. Excellent! n/t

[JDDavis]

2. Somehow, this cartoon may go over the heads of

some well-meaning DU members.

[onager]

3. The "well-meaning" is sarcasm, right? n/t

n/t

[cleanhippie]

11. By "well-meaning" you mean willful ignorance, right?

[NeoGreen]

4. Wait for it...

...they are going to complain that the steering wheel is on the wrong side...





...and miss the whole point of the cartoon...





...which means that they will be batting par, for their match-set...




...again...

[mr blur]

5. Of course, it isn't.

[NeoGreen]

6. No offense intented Mr. Blur...

...and for my part I have driven on both the port and starboard sides of an automobile, on multiple continents (and islands), so IMHO there is no "wrong" side, but my opinion (IMHO) likely does not match that of those who would find fault with the cartoon above and otherwise "give a miss" to the point it attempts to convey.

13. Off topic but I have trouble even walking in London for the first 2 days.

I have to re-orient my way of looking left and right and left again , to looking right and left and right again.

I have driven in European nations but never in the UK or other nations that do this.

I wonder how easy it is for Americans and continential Europeans to adjust their driving so easily.

At my age, I'm probably too old to drive anywhere except to church on Sundays, and, well, you know I don't do that anymore either.

7. But they are cherry picking for good reasons.

So that makes it OK.

Don't you read the Religion forum?

[trotsky]

9. Makes it COMPLETELY different, I know!

Because it does! So stop being a fundie bigoted evil anti-theist by asking questions!

[Curmudgeoness]

8. It took those two brainiacs to come up with that?

Simple humans have been doing this for years.

If God is so great, you would expect his writing to be clear enough that there would be no need to cherry-pick. But, since it was written by a number of humans, with different opinions and dubious motives, that is what we ended up with.

10. God works in mysterious ways.

You just don't understand the metaphor. Or analogy. Or something else.

Unless you understand, you just don't get it.

Probably a boat load more I'm missing

12. and the fact that so many STILL place such importance on these "books"....

...still kinda blows me away. I mean, really? Still? After all this time? What the fuck is wrong with you people?
