I spoke to Jody a few days ago.
He hasn't looked at the taco in quite a while.
Good opportunity to rip on him, huh?

Jody has stirred so many pots through the years that this thread--pretty mild, actually--is hardly unfair.
I thought the link was pretty funny though.

I do enjoy the threads he starts about his dad's experiences. I find them beautiful, fascinating and quite moving.

I don't know Jody - too new (and don't care about the squabbles that comprise >2/3 of ST forums) - but the reductionist logic that goes in to this stuff is priceless.
Believer, non-believer, wherever you are along the spectrum, if THIS argument (and production value, sheesh) is what you use to further your arguments, then you are retarded, ipso-facto. Not wrong, mind you, but retarded... retarded to believe that you'll convince any intelligent person with the equivalent of kindergarten logic.
Then again, maybe my premise is flawed: maybe they're not going after the intelligent with this stuff...
Everybody in the western world (and beyond?) should read this book:
http://www.amazon.com/How-Read-Bible-Guide-Scripture/dp/0743235878/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1242403405&sr=8-1
It's a doorstop, yes, but a VERY well written one, especially given the subject matter. Written by James L. Kugel, I enjoyed this book academically and intellectually, and I am a non-believer in the judeo-christian God.

Peanut Butter! There you have it. I'm heading out to convert today, now which religion should I pick?
Zen: What is the sound of sh#t happening?
Taoism: Sh#t Happens.
Judaism: Why does this sh#t always happen to me?
Mormon: Sh#t happens again and again and again.
Unitarian: What is this sh#t?
Hinduism: This sh#t happened before.
Buddhism: When sh#t happens, is it really sh#t?
Catholicism: If sh#t happens, I deserve it.
Hare Krishna: Sh#t happens, Rama Rama Ding Ding.
Protestantism: Sh#t won't happen if I work harder.
Confucianism: Confucius say, "Sh#t Happens."
7th Day Adventist: Sh#t happens on Saturdays.
Jehovah's Witness: Knock, Knock, "Sh#t happens."
Rastafarianism: Let's smoke this sh#t.
Prod.

I was wondering what happend to Uncle DOug.
Jody is a good guy, I can't see how you'd disagree even if you disagree with his PERSONAL opinions. He is a great guy. Any of you f*#ks who diss him for his personal opinions are weak.

Taoist Rastafarian, I've been called worse... Hhmmmm....?
Also thanks for the clue that processed food 'spawns' fundamentalism. Darwinism in action!

Oh the irony.
In any case we are due for a Jody summer shot spread anytime soon.

Jody's views seem to come from sincerity.
His photos speak for themselves,
He has gone well out of his way to explain the rationale behind his views. Usually I still don't agree, but he has caused me to look at some things differently.
You don't have to accept the Jody paradigm, to respect the integrity of the man.
But it would be fun to have Jody comment on the views expressed in those videos, that can only be described, by arm chair geneticists such as my self, as, dead ends.
Come on Jody, you know you're among friends, here. Talk to us! I'll defend the right you have to say, anything, though I'll often argue the points...
