Frank Answers: God, Platinum, Running for Office, and C. Montgomery Kerry

How come typical religious people cannot defend their faith as well as William Lane Craig can? And what should be done to provide an incentive for them to learn?

For more information, see his past debates at major universities:
http://www.leaderu.com/offices/billcraig/menus/debates.html

Oh, don't get me going on about religion. I'm an avowed atheist and...

Wait, I'm an avowed Catholic. Yeah, and I don't like all this trying to argue whether God exists or not (He does). If God left things so that you could prove He exists, then how come he just doesn't suddenly appear in the sky and yell, "Look at Me! I'm God! Booga booga booga!"?

I would if I were God (when not smiting non-stop). Just my two cents plus inflation.


SarahK from Wherever You Want Me To Live, Insert State Here, asks:
When should I expect the platinum?

Platinum is really expensive, so I'm going to wait until there is a huge drop in platinum prices and then, if I still like you, I'll buy a ring.


Greg Gibas writes:
I think everyone on your site would like to know if you ever plan to run for office! So, will you? It doesn't even have to be something big like Congress, it could be something more local like Alderman or something. I'd sure as hell like to watch your press conferences as a public official!

I don't know anything about local offices or what the hell they do, so I don't think I'll run for one. I am old enough now to run for Congress, but somehow I bet statement on this site may be used against me. I think I'll remain a private citizen griping about our do-nothing politician like everyone else (good ole do-nothing politicians).


Grant G writes:
I'm glad that Frank Answers is now open to all, because I have a burning issue of which I need your opinion on: Is it me, or is John Kerry a spitting image of Mr. Burns? Picture his face over Mr. Burns' during the Simpsons episode of Blinkey, the 3-eyed fish, and you'll see what I'm talking about.

He does look like a younger Mr. Burns now that you mentioned it. Did Burns become wealthy by marrying into money?

Remember when Kerry opend the Casino in Springfield and turned into a crazy old coot who saved his urine in jars and built an airplane out of a bar of soap and considerd flying away inside it?

Yeah good old crazy John F(rankenstein)Kerry...

Although he did impress me the other day when he said: "Things are often more complicated than they seem."
He sure makes loosing an election look easy.

#3 - Posted by: Rob on September 17, 2004 06:19 PM

Oh My Gosh!! I can't believe you said that to our dear SarahK!!! Shame on you!!!

Speaking of rings, do you hear that ringing sound? No? Well that's the sound of your phone NOT ringing and guess who's NOT at the other end?!

#4 - Posted by: jonag on September 17, 2004 07:26 PM

I seem to recall something about good 'ol monty stealing his first billion from the government, but somebody with more expertise should probably confirm that.
His SECOND billion though...?

#5 - Posted by: xpanxpunkx on September 17, 2004 07:31 PM

yea hit em again, Jonag!!

Now now, youngsters must take care, and time to learn about one another, and seek guidance, to know if this is the lifelong commitment they should undertake.

All of us older goobers who have been successfully married for 20+ years need to remember that, and not be too pushy.

#7 - Posted by: Dave in Texas on September 17, 2004 08:18 PM

It's okay frank, platinum rings are for wimmin who are only concerned with looks.

It's the thought that counts, right?

If it is, then she should be happy with the Mervins wholsale deals. If not, then goooooood luck, buddy. heh

p.s. - Anybody else having beef with the cookies here?

p.s.s. - mmmmmm beef cookies.....

Yo, Sarah K is A.O.K.! Time to drop the flunky from Florida, babe. Disco Stu loves Y-O-U! Ain't got Platinum for you, but plenty o' gold chains (warning, may contain chest hair).

Mr. Burns got his wealth by stealing the one and only 1 Trillion Dollar Bill.

Oh, and who won the caption contest? Just wondering if I missed it.

#11 - Posted by: Morphius Kane (Soon to be a Marine) on September 17, 2004 09:30 PM

i don't remember sending in that question. is that a different SarahK?

#12 - Posted by: sarahk on September 17, 2004 09:53 PM

God did exist. he got made under Clinton like everyone else. Chicks dug him, used his powers. I think thats when he left alot of people, some did notice.

God really does not smite, thats religion.

God put us all(most) here, which is damning, which is why its the Pope representing us becase we are actually in hell, sent here in creation by God. Satan is popular(made by the same garbage) because of God, but it really is Satan, which is why its the Pope dealing with the aliens and technology sent by Satan himself(yes, he is really a trickster like the devil in the end).

As far as looking, R.E.M. sleep is damning and I avoid even that!

Booga!


Wait, I'm an avowed Catholic. Yeah, and I don't like all this trying to argue whether God exists or not (He does). If God left things so that you could prove He exists, then how come he just doesn't suddenly appear in the sky and yell, "Look at Me! I'm God! Booga booga booga!"?

I think Frankj should run for Mayor of Compton California. Dude, they'll elect anyone for that place.

#14 - Posted by: Bozark on September 17, 2004 10:22 PM

Mr. Burns became wealthy by abandoning his parents and brother to live with a psycho billionaire as a young child. The Burns family were amongst the first to own nuclear power plant.

this is from the *lost bobo* episode when u see flashbacks to burns' early life.

#15 - Posted by: Jacen on September 17, 2004 11:21 PM

Actually...John Kerry looks like a girl in my dad's high school yearbook. I don't know if that makes her look like a man or him look like a woman (albeit...a damn ugly one). Every person I've shown this to (many) agreed and then proceeded to laugh hysterically. I think it may be illegal to post private citizens' pictures w/out their knowledge. If someone knows this to be untrue I will happily send it.

The nature of God is a debate that has been raging since the time of Democritus. (If not before then) Is He man-like? field-like? (quantum in nature?) is he global conciousness? etc. I rest easy knowing He is GOD. (That's a period...) We can't comprehend the nature of God. We can only have Faith. Part of having faith is CHOOSING to have faith. Willingly accepting that there is that which is greater than thou. Trusting in that... whatever it is.... You ever watch Babylon 5? Good anologies in that show. The writers are infinately more talented than I in expressing deep and meaningful thoughts on The Ultimate. I could send you the DVDs if you wish. If not, I wish you a safe journey on your voyage of self discovery. The secrets held are profound. There are, however, little Truths you can glean from small factes of life. Inconsequential items, like how we interact with other humans can have profound affects on out lives.

There is scientific proof for the existance of God if you look for it. Ever hear of Robert Hoagland? Look up his HD model. While not ENTIRELY accurate, it may shed light on more philosophical issues than you might expect. Life is little more than an excersise in the application of philosophy. That which we choose to accept is that which we experience. Remember the the experiment with two slits. (the wave-particle duality of light) We observe the phenomena we choose to observe. You've heard of self-fulfilling prophecies, I'm sure, within the quantum uncertainty of the universe there is room for your conciousness as well.
I know this sounds all new-age and Sh^t, but there are things unseen that we as humans are only now catching a Glimpse of. Be not so quick to dismiss the Omega, for it draws nigh.

Heh heh heh... sorry to sound all dire and whatnot... But QED changed my life, made me become a reborn Christian, and I will stand by all that is written in His word. I do not believe blindly, however, I want to KNOW. So I learn ALL I can about His mysteries. And besides, it IS an interesting journey...

Ooh, can you smell the romance in the air? No, wait, that's gunpowder smoke.

#18 - Posted by: kyber on September 18, 2004 03:44 AM

Frank,

Skip the platinum. What she wants is white gold.

That said, don't ever, EVER, propose to a girl that wouldn't marry you even if you couldn't buy her a ring.

#19 - Posted by: Jolly Roger on September 18, 2004 04:08 AM

- Musing's from the political edge:

- The Republicans have to be right 100% of the time. Kerry only has to be consistant once....

- Reuters tickertape Headlines We should have seen coming:

-- "Arafat accuses Israel of defending itself"...

-- "General Issimo spotted in Madrid Starbucks"...

-- "Kerry closes vote gap amoung unmarried's in Burbank pre-school"

-- "Kennedy dedicates new bridge in Chappaquidick"

-- "Wilder wows Broadway with latest musical "Christmas in Cambodia"...

-- "Miss America judges discover women among contestants"...

-- "Stewart destroys Prison wing testing nuclear muffin"...

-- "CBS finds Bush memo's in Madonna's thong"...

- updates on the hour

#20 - Posted by: Hunter on September 18, 2004 07:56 AM

Actually, SarahK would be happy with a cigar band for a ring.(As long as there were plans for something a little nicer in the future. Sorry,SCK I'm speakn for you but I think I understand you fairly well.

#21 - Posted by: Aunt Sandra on September 18, 2004 09:56 AM

oh no! Aunt Sandra, don't tell my secrets! i'll never get my platinum if you tell the truth!! :)

#22 - Posted by: sarahk on September 18, 2004 10:24 AM

ok... think disney movies.... think Hercules... think Hades.... now look at john kerry. Hmmm.... see a resemblance?

#23 - Posted by: Chris on September 18, 2004 03:05 PM

Actually, I always thought Kerry looked like that gawdawful Edvard Munsch painting "The Scream." Or maybe I'm the only guy in the world who hates that thing.

The painting, not Kerry, I mean. Well, I'm not enthused by Kerry, but, uh...

Speaking of Burnses, Andrea Harris hit on it when she called Kerry an "upper crust Major Frank Burns."

#24 - Posted by: Steve Skubinna on September 18, 2004 03:21 PM

Okay, Mister FrankJ Smartyboots!

Here's a question:

Four Names to consider:

(1) I - R - A - Q
(2) I - R - A - N
(3) I - V - A - N
(4) I - M - A - M

Is there a pattern emerging?

#25 - Posted by: David March, animator & fiddler on September 20, 2004 07:50 PM

just browsing through some of the comments made on this site when i was influenced by a catholic followers statement to write my own. i wasn`t raised in any religion. at the age of 17 i had my own personal experience which led me to the higher (God)through the means of christianity when i took a curious trip to the church with my brother.since that day i became a true believer (not follower!) but i never got that same convincing feeling again from the church and its people(who seemed to be more corrupt than those out of church!!) i began to research and found evidence of decieving corruption behind the church and its ways.(e.g; the pope repping satan with his roman numerals on his robe adding to 666 with the trick of changing the u to a v=5, and not being able to find the true stated sabbath day that it is commanded for all to rest and keep holy, for it was legally changed on 7th march 321AD from a saturday, which is now the famous day of un-holiness where people party,get high and have sex with strangers, to a sunday, although it is stated that none shall change time and space.and before that the jews sabbath was friday! if anyone could let me know about this id be forever thankfull.) as my research got deeper i started to feel rebelious against all organised religion, especially finding that x-mas and easter were celebrated long before the time of christ many times over as there were many before him who were titled "the light, the way, the son of god" who coincidently had the same stories to their lives as christ!! one book i read even told me to approach a member of the church for answers and predicted 3 possible reactions i would recieve and it was right! my church couldnt give me answers i needed and kept putting me off! ive never been back since, but now i still do believe and have un-measurable love for the higher without the hastle of religion. i have a relationship with the higher inside myself and continue to research, so if anyone has any helpfull info please do pass it on. yours sicerely, the seeker,
