another question...

Tommy and Andrea want to know what you think (because we think we already know what we think), is it unbiblical to be sarcastic?

Stephanie says: "Obviously it's not...well, I don't know..."

For full credit, answers that include Biblical references should also appeal to the original languages.

I read Isaiah 44 recently, and God just lays on the sarcasm when it comes to idolatry. So I'd say it's biblical.

Thinking about when it's appropriate, Mark Driscoll talked about some ways to use harsh language at the 2008 DG conference.

if sarcasm is unbiblical, i may have to proceed through the rest of my life without speaking, in order to refrain from sin. i am willing to consider doing this, but in the end it may not be very practical. then again, who says God is practical?

whoa, BEARD. What the H-E-(double hockey sticks)? Is this the philosopher Tommy coming out, or??

Ellie, that may have been an unbiblical comment. My beard is definitely biblical, though (too bad it's gone now).

drea said...

kroner, please don't give up your sarcasm. i just figured it out a few months ago.

step said...

sarah, i like your sarcasm.

Tommy said...

Drea,

How did you figure out Sarah's sarcasm? Did you learn some tip-off to kroner's sarcasm, like a twitch of the eye or a tic in the face? Did it take some in-depth analysis? I'm curious. I don't think you ever figured out my sarcasm.

drea said...

time. it just took time. and tommy, i totally figured out your sarcasm too. you and sarah and a couple others have helped me become more sarcastic and understand others' sarcasm as well.

drea said...

oh...and is the beard really gone? picture?

Tommy said...

I appreciate the part I've played in your sarcastic development, Andrea, but...while I may have planted, and Sarah watered, it is God who caused the growth (cf. Scott's pot and Is 44).

You'll notice the beard's absence next time we have another philosophical discussion over vchat.
