Other people think Karen Armstrong is wearing diapers too!

So I've been perusing the atheist blogosphere and what have I found? PZ Myers and Jerry Coyne, two of my favorite biologists and atheists, shredding Karen Armstrong for her fantasy land. Check out Myers' post, "The power of nonsense" and Coyne's "Jesus and Mo on apophatic theology."

I especially enjoy Coyne's bit. In essence, apophatic theology is so empty that the great prophets that the monotheists adore would have been silent had they been apophatic. This presents no small problem.

And isn't there some call to go out into the world and do something? Oh yeah! Mark 16: 15-20!

15 And he said to them: Go into the whole world, and preach the gospel to every creature.
16 He that believes and is baptized, shall be saved: but he that believes not shall be condemned.
17 And these signs shall follow those who believe: In my name they shall cast out devils: they shall speak with new tongues.
18 They shall take up serpents; and if they shall drink any deadly thing, it shall not hurt them: they shall lay their hands upon the sick, and they shall recover.
19 And the Lord Jesus, after he had spoken to them, was taken up into heaven, and was seated at the right hand of God.
20 But they going forth preached everywhere: the Lord working with them, and confirming the word with signs that followed.

So those that follow this just don't get it at all do they? Following commands and all. Karen Armstrong sure understands what to do with this one doesn't she? Those silly people following orders from an apostle no less. Geez.
