I never said that you wanted to wipe Anthony Freeman’s ass. He’s not Rush Limbaugh or Jimmy Swaggart after all. Interesting that you were so quick to see it that way though. Sounds like denial to me. Considering all the crack and deviant sex that your pal Jimmy is into, I guess I shouldn’t be too surprised. I said that you aren’t fit to wipe Anthony’s ass, which is entirely true.

He has been a friend for a number of years. I actually had him and his Church group from England come stay with me for a bit once. He runs an internationally renowned journal on the philosophical implications of neuroscience, which has published most of the top scientists and relevant philosophers in recent history. His journal publishes people such as Roger Penrose who won the prestigious Wolf prize in mathematical physics that he shared with Stephen Hawking, and an Albert Einstein award, Roger Shepard, winner of the National Medal of Science, and Piet Hut of the Institute for Advanced Studies at Princeton (Einstein’s program). Anthony’s judgement is good enough for all of them, and frankly a knuckle-dragging right wing extremist fundamentalist crackpot like you can’t even imagine his intelligence.

You believe that that a man was living in the belly of a whale, and another guy built a boat with two of all the animals in the world on it, and that a guy made magical loaves of bread, and that there was a coin bearing fish….. But Anthony Freeman, a renowned scholar, is “koo koo” and a “crackpot”? Your cartoonishness is limitless.

Sorry to pull the ontological rug out from underneath you yet again, but in reality (something you clearly have little familiarity with) Oxford is one of the top 5 universities in the world. Did you get two degrees with honors from one of the top 5 Universities in the world? C’mon tell us travelah.

You keep citing the fundamentalist evangelical world as if it was taken seriously in academia or anywhere else. It is not. No intelligent person would possibly give a flying hoot what fundamentalist evangelicals had to say on any issue requiring a modicum of inteligence. Evangelical fundamentalists are the least educated people in America. Nobody in their right mind takes you people seriously. You are the laughing stock of the world. Your fundamentalist schtick may work for talking uneducated elderly people out of their downpayment on a new trailer, but that’s about the extent of it.

You certainly have no business calling someone like Anthony Freeman, who displays a level of intelligence that is beyond your wildest imagination, a crackpot.

Ha! Anthony Freeman ... well, I certainly didn’t expect that crackpot name to surface here on MX ... this is rich but it’s late. LOL!

I know Swaggart through associates in Baton Rouge, Lousiana. I am not an adherent to his particular theology as he is Pentecostal and I am Reformed Arminian (Wesleyan tradition). I thought since you are so charmed with Freeman that adding Swaggart to your list of charming associates might lift your emminence even higher.

Why would I want to wipe Freeman’s ass? How odd.

The 3rd edition of the Oxford Bible is not considered in a good light by most conservative Evangelicals while the earlier version, in particular that edited by Bruce Metzger is accepted by most groups. I don’t know how to break this to you but the Oxford name does not carry the same connotations it did 2,3 or 4 centuries ago. The two editions used most in the Protestant realm are the KJV and the NASB and you certainly will not find the whacked out idiocy of Anthony Freeman anywhere in it. He is , how shall I put it ... koo koo?
