GLIBTARD!

If we leave out the D we can rearrange to batgirl! We go from being a glib retard to a superhero!

Maybe we only need to get Brum a scrabble board to get him to turn against superstition and start believing in gravity! If I was his friend (perish the thought--I would rather drink kerosene!), I would buy him a copy of ALL the "Made Simple" Science books! Before you knew it he would be championing reflection and refraction of light, repeating the Periodic Table from memory--and otherwise demonstrating a devotion to Science. He would recognise the biblical books as just instances amongst thousands of creation myths and tribal boastings.

To steal part of a metaphor: When a man gets a brain, the bells of heaven ring!

We are made in the image of God. This is the primordial shape. Not a circle. But two arms and two legs and a crooked spine. Poor eyesight and smelly farts! Why was the eternal being always so oddly shaped? Who knows? I guess maybe because we are...AND WE LIKE OUR HEROS TO LOOK JUST LIKE US--ONLY LESS VULNERABLE AND MORE RUTHLESS IN ACTION!!
