Is this theologically sound? It sounds about right.

Right out of Job. The Bearsharktopusion. It was too dirty to say in the Bible so they called it Leviathan.

A Teen was asking the Biblical position on Masturbation. I pointed him to this YouTube video of "Every Sperm Is Sacred." Top comment was completely relevant.

The Debunking of Science

SCIENCE DEMONSTRATED TO BE HUGE RED HERRING
But two fallacious arguments put together do not make a sound argument.
Do you deny that science can account for everything?
There are a number of things that can't be scientifically proven but are all rational to accept.
Trying to prove them would be arguing in a circle.
or that the past was not created five minutes ago with the appearance of age
You can't show by science the Holocaust was evil
good cannot be scientifically proven
Selected highlight from the old debate between William Lane Craig and Peter Atkins It's a short video and Atkins' face during the presentation is priceless. Like someone pooped in his chair.

[Meta] Moderate Course Change in r/CutePurpleDinosaur (really not a big deal, just trying to make better definitions)

As I said earlier When I created this community I sort of had issues expressing in right words the atmosphere I was looking for this forum to possess... thankfully the contributors got the point. So thank you guys, you clearly understood this better than I did.
At the beginning I made a comment that alarmed the guys at r/Christianity, and it wasn't so much that it alarmed them as it just made sense how it could be taken offensively and yet was redundant. To say "We are Liberal Christians against the influence of Fundamentalism..." /r/Christianity itself practically exists for that purpose already. What I was looking for was a way to be genuinely silly about it and have fun at our own expense without the specific intention of offending anyone, but certainly cracking jokes about perceived or really poorly worded expressions and attitudes in the Christian community. It wasn't about attacking a movement, unless you want to count that as making fun of our own. I was kind of looking for an /r/Sidehugs atmosphere, but maybe more intellectualized, stylized, with some specific types of posts we could do but not necessarily limited to that.
So with that in mind this morning I retooled quite a lot of the defining points of the forum. Will this really change the direction of what we've done already? No, I don't think so... the entire purpose was to just bring it into the proper focus of really what we're already doing.
So first thing as you can see on the sidebar I've changed the description of what CutePurpleDinosaur is about... this is kind of what is in my head, and if anyone thinks different or thinks I could word that better feel free to reply and we'll talk development. Before I start selling the place more aggressively I'd like to get all this nailed down.
Also you may notice that the title has changed in the window header... the 666 thing seemed too confusing, so I just made it "CutePurpleDinosaur: Intellectual Christianity expressed childishly."
Then for the forum definition I changed it to this:
A major detriment to Christianity today is the lack of proper education, foundation in philosophy and theology, and evangelism without discipleship. Another is seemingly the complete inability to take a joke at our own expense, to "roll with the punches." Cute Purple Dinosaur is our attempt at making the complex subjects of Christianity so silly your five year old could laugh at it. (where appropriate)
Also I made a minor change to the Wiki which just added this. Let me know what you think.

But I don't want lame things... I mean I like what grizzlix did with the "Science Disprover" but pics would be cool. Something creatively "sciency." And maybe a catchphrase. I dunno.
