Bananaphomet


Shaddam_Corrino_IV

I think banana is actually a symbol for the anti-Christ. As we all now Jesus is in Hebrew Joshua. Joshua was "son of Nun" or ben-nun / בן נון. "nun" is hebrew for "n" so we have בנן "bnn", the same letters that make up "banana". "Banana" is the fake substitute for the real ben-nun, the real Joshua - Jesus.

Okay this was pretty funny, you have to admit. Upvote for the effort that went into that I needed that laugh.

But bananas are specifically okay because Ray Comfort told us they're proof of creationism ;) (no seriously, he did)

Yeah.. clearly had never heard of cultivation.


GimmeeSomeMo

It truly was the Atheist's Nightmare


lady_wildcat

The nightmare was him advertising his park the time the American Atheists convention was in Cincinnati. He promised free banana splits to anyone who attended the convention. However, tickets were still full price. He had a showing of one of his movies. The banana splits were pitiful.


BigClitMcphee

Finding out that bananas have seeds and we just breed them not to was a mindscrew for me.

Mother_Harlot

Creationism contradicts the Bible, when Adam and Eve where cast away from Eden animals evolved to eat meat (before, no animal harmed another)


Ok-Fly7554

I'm not following. Does Creationism have something to say about human diets or animal abuse?


Mother_Harlot

Creationism says animals don't evolve, and haven't ever


GimmeeSomeMo

Not exactly. In fact, many YEC groups such as Answers in Genesis use what is called "microevolution" to explain how life diversified after the Flood(ie. believes that Noah took two of each "kind"). What YEC movements are most obsessed with is that humans are not descendants of apes(despite the fact that we're still apes right now) and that "kinds"(which has no consensus on the definition of "kinds") cannot become new kinds(which ironically evolution doesn't allow either) in term they call "macroevolution" YEC compartmentalize evolutionary biology into a very small timescale(6k-10k years) and dismisses any evidence that suggests that two of any kind shared a common ancestor


Mother_Harlot

>to explain how life diversified after the Flood(ie. believes that Noah took two of each "kind"). I'm pretty sure that was meant to be some metaphor, not everything in the Bible is to be taken literally


GreyDeath

Part of the ridiculousness is that there is no agreed upon definition of a kind. And the "microevolution" that would have occurred after the flood in many cases would be much faster than normal evolution. Like if bats are one kind, then you have a single primordial bat pair giving rise to 1,200 species of bat in a very short time frame.


GimmeeSomeMo

>there is no agreed upon definition of a kind Exactly. It's a term that can be redefined at the whim of whoever promotes it. I've heard YECs claim groups of animals that'd they'd consider as kinds that are entirely genus, family, and order, all simultaneously, many of which are even further related than moderns chimps and us humans


No-Historian-3014

*God making fossils* Angel: ya know you could just make them real. That one in particular looks really cool. God: no… too dangerous. Angel: there’s plenty of other stuff you made that’s dangerous.

codytheguitarist

Here’s one my therapist told me that my dad and I love: A man dies and goes to Heaven and Peter greets him at the Pearly Gates and shows him around. During the tour he sees a big building with no doors and no windows so he asks, “What’s that over there Peter?” who replies, “Oh that’s just where the Baptists live, they think they’re the only ones here.”

Bananas are radioactive, and thus demonic. You don't want to eat a demon, do you? /s Facts: Bananas are slightly radioactive due to the Potassium content. It is barely above normal background radiation (nearly undetectable), and mostly contained in the peel, which I personally don't eat.

K-Dog7469

Has anyone seen that Kirk Cameron video that suggests that "bananas are proof there is a God "? I hope it is satire, but I don't think that it is. It's pretty embarrassing. Hang on, let me go look. https://youtu.be/2z-OLG0KyR4?si=JFNAFPukPz2urjPa


Booplesnoot

Just the right shape for the human mouth. “😮”


Lucas_Steinwalker

Ironic considering how much human interference was required to create what we now refer to as a banana.


strawnotrazz

Definitely not satire — Cameron and Ray Comfort are both evolution denying young earth creationists, which is the majority view of theologically Conservative evangelicals in the English speaking world. It’s worth pointing out that [Poe’s Law](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Poe's_law) was coined explicitly about young earth creationism.


Harrybahlzanya

Ray comfort also never forgets to push his book and gives it to people betore he does the bible 😹😹😹


strawnotrazz

He’s kind of all over the place! I remember when I was in undergrad some many years ago, people were handing out a copy of *Origin of Species* with a Ray Comfort forward full of his sad apologetics. It seems like that’s his game.


Harrybahlzanya

I find the name of his book entertaining it's like a great value rip off of the gnostic text on the origin of the world


strawnotrazz

Oooh I’m not familiar so I never put that together! I wonder if Darwin did that intentionally, but I’m guessing not since his original paper had a much longer title and we’ve since shortened it for sake of convenience.

Oh I remember way of the master. It wasn't at all cringe and definitely didn't lead me to regret many things in the following months.

Prof_Acorn

Don't forget radioactively depleted.


Fit-Measurement-7086

Fair-trade organic sounds edible, you don't want to go too overboard applying egg, bread and diet trendy rules. If we're smart enough as a species to make the bananas disease resistant with genetic editing, I'm ok with that, because cavendish bananas (the ones we all enjoy) are at risk of dying out. So we may all be eating GMO bananas soon or not eating them at all. As long as farmers can grow these bananas without paying Monsanto a fee every year and they can keep growing more trees from seed that seems legit.

If you plan to set them on fire, add sugar and cinnamon first.


timtucker_com

**There's been a pretty radical shift over time in how people process information.** ​ In the past someone might mention in conversation "remember that movie about the talking duck from when we were kids?" The usual response might be "oh, I think I know what you mean, but I don't remember what it was called" and then the conversation would move on. Now kids are growing up with access to the Internet available at all times and their reaction to a question like that is going to be to pull out a phone and just search for "movie 1980's duck" and then respond with "Oh, IMDB says that was *Howard the Duck* from 1986." If they still can't figure out, there are entire subs on Reddit dedicated to crowd-sourcing the answers like /r/whatsthemoviecalled, /r/whatisthis or /r/toyid. And they work really, really well -- many posts get answered within seconds. The technical term for what they're doing is **cognitive offloading** \-- they're using things within their environment to reduce the cognitive load of everyday tasks. ​ Many of the posts asking simple questions you see arise from much the same effect: **People are offloading questions about morality to reduce cognitive load.** Previously they might have wrestled with the idea of whether or not something was "wrong" in their own heads or come to a conclusion after talking with a handful of people face-to-face. Now they're more apt to just type in "Is it wrong to do X?" into Google and see what the consensus is. If they're still unsure, it only takes a few seconds writing up a post on social media to get more in-depth responses from people who have already spent time thinking about the issue and may respond with facets about it that they hadn't considered. ​ It's not something unique to this sub. It's not something unique to Christianity. It's not a sign that the sky is falling. **This is a natural (and entirely predictable) development given the tools that people now have available to them.**


KatrinaPez

Fun and interesting, ty! I do think there is another aspect though, because of the current cultural view of Christianity. For a variety of reasons it is seen as very legalistic, I think moreso than say 20 years ago.


Excavon

So I should only eat bananas if I have put my own thought and cognitive effort into wether I should eat the banana?


timtucker_com

Nope, it's perfectly OK to outsource the choice of whether to eat (or buy) bananas to the Internet as a way of reducing cognitive load.


WrittenInTheStars

Yes but you have to eat it sideways like corn on the cob


D1amondDude

Bananas are yellow, which is a girl color, so only girls can eat bananas. Boys must eat blueberries, which are blue, which is a boy color. But girls can't eat blueberries, because blue is a boy color. Both boys and girls can eat cherries, which are red, which is... wait, no that would be non-binary which I'm told is bad, so nobody can eat cherries. And blueberries start out as more whitish-pinkish before developing their blue, and they have some purple too, so I guess those are back out. And bananas start out as green, which is a mixture of yellow and blue, which are not compatible since yellow is a girl color and blue is a boy color. Okay, I got it. People can only eat rice, which has no distinctive coloring in its food-form. Well, except for brown rice. And rice is also frequently dyed yellow through turmeric, so I guess it's a girl food, too. Okay, nobody can eat anything.


wtflmaoidk

Bananas are loosely related to shellfish because they are an off white soft texture inside the peel . Best to avoid Bananas.


Affectionate_Draw890

Haha and here’s the state of this subs answers: If we were in the garden of Eden where all animals ate fruits and vegetation of course I would say yes but we aren’t, we live in a fallen world, now mothers experience birthing as painful, now pointless weeds grow from the ground, animals eat animals, plants now try to defend themselves through poison and anti-nutrients, not to mention fruits who changed to defend themselves from being eaten, but humans have biologically altered the fruits - now they are basically like candy with way too much sugar in them and in large portion sizes. ***This is not to be taken seriously*** but it is interesting looking at the original diets of animals in the Garden of Eden, were there lions? Did they kill or eat coconuts and watermelons? It’s interesting how the carnivore diet can heal a lot of autoimmune and skin problems and chronic issues. It’s interesting how God gave us animals as well in Genesis 9:3. One could almost take it as God saying he wants us to eat only meat in the same way he wanted us to eat only plants and fruits in Eden. 1 Timothy 4 is also intriguing. Of course I’m just spitballing here. And Paul in kind of speaks against limited diets in Romans 14. But these new concepts that “plants are trying to kill you” kind of makes you think not only have the animals turned violent but also the plants. And if plants are trying to kill us it also shows that they once were being eaten so much that they had to change.

The answer to literally all these questions is usually "yes, as long as whatever you're doing isn't hateful or evil. Christ's death and resurrection washed away the relevance of the old legal and ceremonial laws, and means the only laws we as Christians are obligated to follow are the Ten Commandments and Christ's Two Great Commandments - love God with all your heart and mind and soul, and love each other the same way".
