I understand that D'Souza and Barker are still running around putting on this show, and it's still playing out exactly the same way I described. Honestly, the fact that Barker is going along with it makes him look just as bad as D'Souza, except that I'd expect better from Barker.Tobasco da GamaWed, 26 Oct 2011 11:42:55 -0000http://www.tobascodagama.com/?p=263#comment-345758482I just finished listening to a few of his debates (with Barker, Hitchens, Loftus and Dennett), and even though I am not an expert on science, philosophy or theology, I can honestly conclude that D'Souza's way of debating is by making straw-man, ad hominem, and non-sequiter arguments. He did make my brain hurt too (from all the shouting)Lucille Joy PaltrigueraWed, 26 Oct 2011 11:37:47 -0000http://www.tobascodagama.com/?p=246#comment-231749800Make sure that you have arrangements made in advance. Wills are typically read *after* a funeral, and someone else is going to be doing the planning for you if you haven't made your wishes known in advance. I'm sending in papers to a school of anatomy to donate my body, and making sure that it's well known by all. I'm from an atheist family, so don't have any worry of evangelicals hijacking my death, but I'm sure some of you may face that problem. And some jerk using your death to recruit your young relatives is just sick.InrideoWed, 22 Jun 2011 04:56:26 -0000http://www.tobascodagama.com/?p=246#comment-224550651This happened at my mother-in-law's funeral too, even though she just wanted a simple family only service at the graveside.  It turned into a "Oh, you all need Jesus in your lives" spiel instead of about Mildred.  After it was over, my son looked at me and said, "Mamaw would have been pissed at that."  He's right.CeceSun, 12 Jun 2011 22:37:02 -0000
