Basket Weaving vs God

It seems every conceivable discussion about God, religion, atheism has been dissected in this forum. Many times with interesting and perceptive analysis. I am not complaining but to change the subject does anyone know anything about basket weaving.

I don't know anything about basket weaving, but I know quite a bit more than I probably should about the art of rolling one's eyes at stupid forum posts, if you'd like some lessons.

@Old man..."English pantomime"

That takes me back. I remember Cinderella (a woman) being wooed by Prince Charming (also a woman) while the ugly stepsisters (played by men) snapped and snarled. And then there was Aladdin (a woman) and his mother Widow Twanky (a man).

But things I saw growing up in various British cities were much stranger than anything I saw in a pantomime. It's amazing that we English grow up so normal and well-balanced.

I agree..not being of English

I agree..not being of English descent I find them very strange indeed in their social mores and pastimes, but the pantomime I enjoyed immensely and cricket I adore.

@Old man... "cricket I adore."

I was born a Brit, became a New Zealander, and I live in Australia. Cricket is a religion in all of those countries. It should be part of my heritage, but I just can't stand the bloody game. I can't figure out the scoring system. In fact, I can't even work out which player is on which team. Baseball I can understand. At least I'm likely to find out the final score in my lifetime.

A humor that degrades one

A humor that degrades one through mockery and ridicule is still humor. My sense of humor is fine, if not a little acidic. Care to hear some cancer jokes? Or should I continue about the way I would normally, providing side barbs and prods through witticism?

The only one here without humor is you, as you seem to be unable to take a joke. Lighten up.

Basket weaving was a common

Basket weaving was a common occupation for patients in mental hospitals. Hence the term "basket case." Although there's another theory that it means a solider wounded so severely that he has to be carried in a basket.

When our daughter was little, we bought her a wicker rocking horse. The whole thing, from the head down to the rockers, was woven in one piece. Remarkable.

Few crafts can match basket weaving as a demonstration of the dexterity of the human hand and the creativity of the human brain. God didn't create us. We wove ourselves through the interplay between our increasingly powerful brains and wonderfully versatile hands.

Algebe,

Algebe,

Moses' mom was a mental case and Moses was a basket case.

Exodus 2:3 (CEV) = "But when she could no longer keep him hidden, she made a basket out of reeds and covered it with tar. She put him in the basket and placed it in the tall grass along the edge of the Nile River."

The first step in basket

The first step in basket weaving is finding some good reeds. Next soak them in a basket overnight in saltwater to make them more flexible. Then walk in front of a mirror with your pants down. Insert the reeds into your rectum. Continue insertion until you cannot hold anymore. Hold the reeds inside until you feel the reeds binding together to make the basket. Poop out the basket. Let us know how it goes!

@Satan Re: Basket Weaving

Welcome, Satan! (I've always wanted to say that.) Looks like you will fit in here quite nicely. LMAO

Oh, by the way, once the reeds are inserted, how long does it usually take before they start binding? (Asking for a friend.)

About 4-6 hours. Not speaking from experience, of course...

Alebe,Satan Spawn,Tin Man

Alebe,Satan Spawn,Tin Man,Jaed Alesi-Diotrepnes--Thank you for your serous humor regarding God and basket weaving. Your posts were funny, and creative.The conversations about God, atheism, theism and religion are often interesting, pithy,, perceptive and intellectually stimulating (most of the time). Satire and humor and ridicule about God might bring some fun to our forum.

Might? Satire and humor

Might? Satire and humor already account for most of the fun had in the forums. You're late to the party.

Satire and humor and fun? Oh,

Satire and humor and fun? Oh, my!... What the hell? And all this time I thought this was suppose to be a very serious and respectable debate area. So, am I now to understand that not everything posted here was meant to be taken seriously?... Wow. Ain't that just wonderful. Now I'm gonna have to go back and re-evaluate everything I have read thus far. Crap.

Oh, by the way, that whole reeds-in-the-rectum idea for making a basket didn't exactly work out very well. Don't really know what went wrong. Maybe I di - ... uh, maybe my FRIEND didn't use enough reeds or didn't scrunch his butt cheeks hard enough or something. Regardless, I'll spare you the details, but cleaning up the mess afterwards was NOT pleasant.

Okay, Triumph, I owe you an apology for the "ass" comment I made about you. This discussion has actually been fun.

If I remember correctly (it's

If I remember correctly (it's been years since I read about basket weaving), some Aboriginal American tribes could weave baskets that were water tight and could be used for cooking. I always found that amazing.

Nothing to do with liberty. Not a proper university. An oxymoron for morons.

A sign over a toilet paper dispenser in Lynchburg Station: Liberty University diplomas--please take one.
