“SMACK THE NOMINALIST.” I have no idea what this is. But I thought you might get a kick out of it nonetheless.
For Eve-tested, Eve-approved nominalist humor, this can’t be beat.
UPDATE: Did I mention that I hadn’t actually read that site? I just thought nominalist-smacking sounded like tons of fun. But Thomas Joseph writes: In your latest blog entry, you post a link to “Smack the Nominalist” and state that you have “no idea what it is”. Knowing personally two of the people who have been parodied by that site (Nimbo – a devoted Catholic, and Metacrock – a devoted Christian apologist) I can unequivocally say that I DO know what “Smack the Nominalist” is. The site is owned by Adrian Barnett, an atheist who runs the “Wasteland” message board. It is home to many atheists, most of whom are hard-core and who express extreme anti-religious sentiment.
“Smack the Nominalist” is but one form of anti-religious rhetoric employed by Mr. Barnett and his friends. They think that employing ad hominem and belittling their opponents they can achieve intellectual superiority and “wish away” the existance of the Almighty. Personally, I think you do a great disservice by freely advertising Mr. Barnett’s site on your blog.
[Eve again: Still haven’t read it, and don’t really plan to–I don’t have time. So, there you go, read at your own risk, etc. etc. But do read the other link, which is hilarious.]
