Correction: June 14, 2013
An earlier version of this column misattributed a passage from Corinthians that ends with the statement, “God chose the weak things of the world to shame the strong.” The letter to the Corinthians is by Paul, not Jesus.
In the draft, he attributed it to Ricardo Montalban.
Let me speculate that Bobo didn't work his way through the U. of C. Or learn anything when he there.
Considering how much time they spend talking about Christian values, our elite might want to actually read the Bible, instead of depending on Bartlett's.
ReplyDeleteDoesn't anyone have a copy editor anymore?
Bobo don' need no steenking copy editor! He's an authority.
ReplyDeleteBeyond that, what the fuck is Bobo trying to say here? Almost all available empirical evidence since the birth of Christ suggests that Paul was just plain full of shit, and that's even more true today.
I mean, how do we explain Lloyd Fucking Blankfein saying, without a trace of irony--or shame--that he's doing God's work?
You'd think an editor would have caught that one...

ReplyDeleteI paid my own way through college, and thereafter, with the help of student loans. Doesn't make me a better person than someone who didn't, like BoBo.
ReplyDeleteI am also aware that it was the benefits of being created and raised by intelligent middle class parents (who probably would have bailed me out if the shit hit the fan) made that much more doable.
Kha-a-a-a-a-n-n-n!

Paul probably didn't write the letter either, but that's another story.
ReplyDeleteHoly Ghost writer?
ReplyDeleteTo Anonymous #1's point, there is a lively debate among Biblical scholars (meaning actual historians, not the Fred Camper variety) about how much the traditional attributions of the epistles can be trusted. It's hardly an exact science, based on textual evidence of writing style, vocabulary, current events referenced, etc. But it's a very different thing than to think that they'd be written by Jesus, which is pretty much to confirm that someone literally doesn't know anything about Christianity at all.
