It's a little obvious and over-done, but I thought this was clever and insightful.

They need to add the Howard Dean additions.

11. When discussing immoral behavior make sure to mention that God created all of us thus He must support all of our immoral acts.

12. Quote from the New Testament book of Job when in a jam.

13. Argue that only Southern red-necks are silly enough to believe in God. Magically transform like St Paul into one as you cross the Mason-Dixon line.

Skoo, you have unearthed Faith's secret playbook.

no, craig, i uncovered it long ago... and it is disclosed below:

1) convolute the meaning of the bible such that to have a clue of what youre talking about one must be standing on their head whilst smoking pot.

2) DENY CATHOLICISM AT ALL COSTS. also, deny anything youve said before if it makes you look stupid... like denying that you accused Christ of collaborating with demons.

Happens all the time over on the LC thread between "Original withheld" and I : He comes on anonymously, makes sweeping moral generalizations, affirming whole swaths of people to be morally evil, but then says "I like them and only want to help improve them".

He moves the goal posts, changes subjects, asserts as true he won't prove and then says "as I've shown..." claiming authority based on experience that when challenged to prove, he denies ever claiming.

The line about making accusations which if done against Jews, blacks or others would get one fired is especially true: my anonymous opponent's claims would be instantly recognized as racist and bigoted if made against all African-Americans based on "his experience of a few of them".
