[Reply to an article on invisibility being possible in the near future]
Maybe this is a way to scientifically ligitimize demonic activity in the physical realm.
For example:
You feel something tapping your shoulder, but you can't see it. Science will tell you it's an old friend who's invisible. When actually it's straight from the pits of hell.

You spend most of your time in hell, a fiery pit of pain and torture. In your few moments of freedom you try your best to undercut God's authority. So, what exactly do you do? You tap someone on the shoulder.
That's a brilliant plan, there. It's no wonder the demons lost that angelic war -- they probably used guns made by Nerf, Super Soaker and AirSoft. Will they next try tickle us to death?
With a name like "bethemoon," it's no wonder you're a looney.
Your explanation falls apart when you start attributing effects to causes that don't exist. That is, hell doesn't exit therefore nothing can come from hell to tap me on the shoulder.
<<< You feel something tapping your shoulder, but you can't see it. Science will tell you it's an old friend who's invisible. >>>
Science will not tell you that (at least, not until we've figured out how to make something invisible, and that's just about impossible). It will tell you that a nerve probably misfired.
Sorry, do you mean conscience, or pseudoscience or do you have an insane imaginary friend called 'Science'?
Frankly, we don't want to know.
Talk about a giant leap away from the point of the article, or even the remotest resemblance to the way invisibility was described as being usable.
Did he even read the article, or did he just get some watered-down version of it third-hand -- or just read the headline and stop before he could be tainted by actual knowledge?
It looks to me as if he simply got the word "invisibility," made a free-association connection to "demons," and substituted "science" for "magic" -- then started condemning scientists for trying to "ligitimize [sic] demonic activity in the physical realm."
And to think that another fundie poster was saying that people shouldn't use their imaginations. Fundies seem to have the most active imaginations there are; they live in a fantasy world 24/7!

This is no different from when a Fundie reads an article about cloning.
The article will say: "Breeders fertilized a mouse ovum, then forced the mouse ovum to split into several identical ova, similar to the way in which identical twins first form. These ova are then implanted in the womb of a female mouse and incubated normally. After the usual gestation period, the baby mice that are born will be no different from naturally-occurring identical twins."
The Fundie will read this as: "SCIENTISTS MAKE ARMY OF HUMAN CLONES, ALL THE SAME AGE AS THEIR ORIGINAL!"
"You feel something tapping your shoulder, but you can't see it. Science will tell you it's an old friend who's invisible. When actually it's straight from the pits of hell."
If it's from hell, it'll be more like hugging your fundie face to death.
Why wouldn't your friend just TELL you who they were, anyway? If they just left you in the dark about it and watched you look around confused, they aren't a very good friend, now are they?
Idiot.
I have my own theory:
"Hey there!" cried Tom, glancing towards him with a most seeing look in his shining eyes. "Hey!Come Frodo, there! Where be you a-going? Old Tom Bombadil's not as blind as that yet.
Take off your golden ring! Your hand's more fair without it..."
Damn those Ringbearing hobbits. Always up to mischief they are.
Would that be demons who play that old, tired joke of tapping you on, say, the left shoulder when they are actually standing on your left? I wish they'd grow up and think of something new.
The insidious scientific scheme to ligitimize demonic activity in the physical realm started YEARS ago! It has already wormed its way into your livingroom, perhaps even your bedroom or even your children's bedroom!
Why else do you think they introduced REMOTE CONTROLS for TVs and all sorts of other electronic devices? That way DEMONS can turn stuff on and off... they can even SWITCH CHANNELS to beam Satanically influences sounds and videos in your face... and science will tell you it's a friend or family member clicking the remote!
PROTECT YOUR CHILDREN AGAINST THIS DEMONIC MENACE!
Alsee: That's funny, especially considering that I once got woken up in the middle of the night by the TV coming on for no apparent reason. It turned out that the cat had stepped on the "Power" button on the remote control, which I had left on the couch, pointed at the set. I think it freaked her out almost as much as it did me!

See, I get feelings like that all the time. The phantom tapping, the feeling that someone is poking me in the side... BUT NO ONE IS THERE.
Generally, I assume that a nerve is having a seizure or something and I just ignore it.
No, you idiot, it's just Danny Phantom! He's trying to push out the ghost that's overshadowed you and made you stupid, so just sit still and let him do his job, dumbass.
Actually, there is a new fiber material that bends light waves of certain wavelenghts accross the fiber, giving you a transparent look. IT's EXTREMELY COOL to look at. They say that the other wavelenghts, up to now though, cannot be bent, but they made a woman's body look transparant like a green ghost.
Science will tell you it's an old friend who's invisible.
Actually, given that it's DARPA who's actively pursuing cloaking research, the invisible guy tapping on your shoulder is a helluvalot more likely to be a soldier than a demon.
And if he's cloaked when he does it, not only is he not[/t] your friend, you're probably on his bad side at that exact moment, and any "tapping" he or she is doing is probably going to be with bullets.
If you feel a tapping, but can't see anything, that's just because the BBC special effects department went over-budget last week and can't show anything this week. ;)
And on a different note: why would a demon bother tapping anyone on the shoulder anyway? They want to steal your soul, not get your attention.
Huh?
No seriously, what?!
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
