Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – the usual appeals to authority and outright nonsense

So the Christians have trotted out another “scientist” who converted and gosh golly, that must mean that the cult’s claims are true. (memes at the bottom, btw)

It’s notable that this one is particularly ridiculous. A physicist supposedly took a lie detector test and when he felt guilty, he declared “sin” was true.

Alas, that doesn’t work very well.

“The next step of faith was a polygraph test when he applied for the National Security Agency. He failed the test because he got nervous; he realized he was lying when he was saying he was a good person; the concepts of sin from the Bible had percolated through his consciousness and imbued him with truth to the point that he failed the lie detector test.”

wow, that’s quite a set of lies. Unsurpsingly, guilt has nothing to do with sin, and the cult still can’t show that its imaginary friend exists. Christians can’t even agree on what their god considers to be a sin, so attempts to claim that “sin” set off a polygraph is utter nonsense.

and one has to wonder, just why a theoretical physicist would be supposedly applying to the NSA. There’s also the problem that “are you a good person” is highly unlikely to be a polygraph question since it is vague, with even christians unable to agree on what “good” is.

  1. Who’s afraid of Sleestak? Well… maybe at first, but they are slow and clumsy— even dimwitted… so dimwitted.
