Quote for the Day: Critique by Ridicule
"One cannot fairly criticize an idea by ridiculing its distortions." (Dale Allison, Resurrecting Jesus, p 222)
Just as cooks pray for a good crop of young animals and fishermen for a good haul of fish, in the same way busybodies pray for a good crop of calamities or a good haul of difficulties that they, like cooks and fishermen, may always have something to fish out and butcher. (Plutarch, "On Being a Busybody")
"One cannot fairly criticize an idea by ridiculing its distortions." (Dale Allison, Resurrecting Jesus, p 222)
