What: Auckland Bloggers Drinks
When: Thursday 3 February, from 6.30pm
Where: Horse and Trap, 3 Enfield St, Mt Eden, Auckland
Who for: Bloggers, blog readers, blog trolls
What for: The talking of nonsense and telling of lies
We’ve decided to try Horse and Trap again as most who attended last time liked the venue, location and prices – so take note of the venue! The Horse and Trap is just down the road from Galbraiths and has Thirsty Thursday specials. RSVP on Facebook or just turn up – Matt and I will not get there til after 7pm.
A common objection to belief in the God of the Bible is that a good, kind, and loving deity would never command the wholesale slaughter of nations. In the tradition of his popular Is God a Moral Monster?, Paul Copan teams up with Matthew Flannagan to tackle some of the most confusing and uncomfortable passages of Scripture. Together they help the Christian and nonbeliever alike understand the biblical, theological, philosophical, and ethical implications of Old Testament warfare passages.
I so wish I could be there. I would get very drunk, make heaps of rude comments about religion, throw up and then coma out.
Plus the odd line about anti-abortion people being very silly!
What a shame, you and Phil U would have a fair bit to talk about.
Who Phil U? Do they have an alcohol problem?
Haha, Phil U was an incoherent heckler at Kiwiblog famous for non sequiturs, ellipses (…), perpetual unemployment and tokin’ the sweet mary jane :). He runs whoar.co.nz
Phil U famously turned up to bloggers drinks looking a little worse for the wear and promptly insulted everyone he was introduced to – I recall him saying anyone who was anti-abortion or religious was silly – and them began making heaps of rude comments to everyone. He got into a huge spat with Cactus Kate and Olivia (WhaleOil joined in too). I recall him arguing vociforously against the use of capital letters and began accusing Whale of being a racist but he was off on other tangents to. He ended up storming out. Cactus then ordered a bottle of champers for the table. It was quite memorable if for no other reason than every other person who has turned up to bloggers drinks has fitted in and been accepted no matter what their views are but he was determined not to.
Richard I was pulling your leg; I’m quite sure you’d behave better than Phil U!
I hope I would. Hopefully by the time I came to insulting people I will coma out.
