A godless darwinist is in giving confession . It's a slow day and almost no one has come in . Suddenly the doors burst open and a drunken homeless man rushes in , sees the confessional , and practically runs for it . The godless darwinist is pleased that the man appears to be so eager for confession , and enters his side of the booth . Nothing happens . The godless darwinist waits a minute or so , but all here hears is a slight rustling . Puzzled , he knocks on the wood , and says "hello?" . The drunk says , "No use asking me , bub , there's no toilet paper on this side either !"

Are you implying they do?[/b]
If Dr. S were speaking ex cathedra, he would hold that most Catholic clergy do [not] molest children.

Shouldn't there be an asterisk in there somewhere?
For example,
If Dr. S were speaking ex cathedra, he would hold that most *godless Darwinists* molest children
where the string '*X*' denotes 'priests' for any X.

It sure was, and an easy one to answer.
Too bad you can't compel me to sit in the chair, isn't it?

I have so far been too lazy to compile my findings into a presentation for this forum. I have not, however, forgotten or abandoned it. I assure you, it will be quite entertaining.

Originally posted by DoctorScribblesConsidering that the Atheist Church covers up for the trangressing Darwins : how can it be said that most Darwins arent trangressers. And in that absence of details about the percentage of Darwins that do trangress isn't it a valid stance to treat all Darwins as trangressers: since the particular trangression has lifelong trauma on the victims?

Originally posted by DoctorScribblesI've heard that most *atheists* like to *feed* and *care* for children, and that the *secular hierarchy* tacitly supports these instances of *general benevolence*.
