B) even if you think he was seriously proposing that, "as monstrous as a whale" is not the same as "is a whale", unless you're going to explain how this is a whale too:
Boeing 737, about the same length as a blue whale - "as monstrous as a whale".

I went to Amazon to check out the reviews. Predictably, the liberals go at it with their usual vitriol.
bttt
So what. Duuuhhhh...she makes her living on writing and selling her books. Is a CPA a numbers whore. I'm a carpenter so I guess I'm a nail whore.
Yea, there ya go. Jerky. I only pinged you because the subject was you. Next time I won't. Have a great day.

Coulter said, and I quote, "They [evolutionists] say the whale "evolved" when a bear fell in the ocean". No, we don't say that.
You have not succeeded in disputing my original assertion, namely that your arguments are not particularly persuasive or effective when they merely consist of fighting hyperbole with hyperbole of your own...
muslims are at war with us and yet you accept the premise that calling muslims names is wrong??
The Japanese were "nips".
The Germans were "krauts"
We are in a war. muslims started it and are conducting it against all of us.
muslims are our enemy.
muslims are ragheads.

I'm sure you think you have a point. You do. Look up.
I think Ann needs to write another book about the religion of evolution.
Cute, but stupid.
When he looks up, the point you smarmily draw attention to would move and no longer be above him.
He would see Heaven when he looks up.
Or do you profess he would not?

So who's doing the name-calling now?
"One poster defined Coulter's style as "polemical humor." I get the impression from some that one should rarely take anything she says seriously."
Coulter calls herself a polemicist. It always cracks me up how "conservatives" get all cranky over her polemicist ways. She never considered herself to be a boring, dull history writer. To be honestm, as far as political books go hers are of the few I can actually get through without being bored to tears.
I Corinthians 5:10 covers the fact that Carl Sagan most likely knows God's truth by now, whether or not those who are still living believe it. The only way that he doesn't is if the proper understanding of scripture is that Mr. Sagan is in a waiting situation until we all face God at one time.
As for judging others, I would be curious to know what it is in your copy of the Bible that leads you to believe that we are not allowed to know right from wrong when we see them. The only times I've ever heard anyone try to argue that "judging others" was sinful was when they took Matthew 7:1 out of the Bible because it suited their purpose, of trying to silence those who recognized their sin, and denied almost the entirety of the rest of the Bible. Using the same type of so-called logic and the same level of intellectual honesty you could just as well declare that it is a sin to split wood. "What God has put together, let no man put asunder." You can take any scripture in the Bible or any other book of any religion or any human creed of evolution or...well you get the idea... choose a choice phrase that you think makes a point that you want made and completely ignore the reality of what the text you pulled it from says. Congratulations you now qualify to be a mainstream journalist by todays standards. However if you want to have some intelligent discourse with people who will respect you enough to consider what you say, you would be far wiser to stick to your chosen texts rather than warp them in that way (and just not choose a book that doesn't really make the point you want made).
Ann is very, very good at what she does. And this is very funny.
Did you figure that all by yourself, or did you need help?
Vitriol like this just shows that Ann has her finger on the liberals' hot button.
Keep it up Ann !
BUMP
It's not as if you are addressing someone who considers the biblical texts to be either accurate or authoritative. As such you are free to disregard whatever remarks issue forth as if to accuse those who understand where the texts came from and what they mean. It's like a student lecturing a teacher: one doesn't wonder that it's done with fervor, but rather that it is done at all.
Of course not. Like good liberals you dare not say what you really mean and believe. It has to be couched in tomes of scientific certitude, just as evidence contrary to the theory of evolution must be explained away or discarded.
No, Fester, we don't mean and believe whales evolved from bears. Does your deity know you're lying again?
