Getting any kind of Biblical advice from N.A.T [an atheist] is like asking Ray Charles to tell you about the mona lisa. It's like asking a deaf person to describe one of Beethoven's symphonies.

It's like asking a depressed ginger fellow with half his ear missing to tell you about the works of Van Gogh.
It's like asking a wonderfully creepy homosexual fellow with a cool pencil thin moustache to tell you about the films of John Waters.
It's like asking inverter to tell you about being a dumbass.
t's like asking a deaf person to describe one of Beethoven's symphonies.
BWHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH! Umm, Beethoven was deaf and he described his symphonies just fine!
Of all the composers this idiot could have chosen at random he/she had to come up with the one who was famously deaf.
Typical fundie. Can't even post complete crap without inadvertantly fucking it up even more. And while Ray Charles may never see the Mona Lisa, I am quite capable of reading the bible if I so choose. Once again, analogy fail.

There are experiments in medical science right now - with some initial success via prototypes - of blind people being able to see again, via CCD chips implanted in their eyes, hardwired into the visual cortex of the brain.

Your call, inverter. >:D
“Getting any kind of Biblical advice from N.A.T [an atheist] is like asking Ray Charles to tell you about the mona lisa.”
Why? I’ve read it. Know a LOT of thumpers who don’t feel they have to since they already know what’s in it. Like all the antiabortionists who think the Bible forbids it.
“It's like asking a deaf person to describe one of Beethoven's symphonies.”
The irony is strong in this one. I hope your irony meter didn’t hurt anyone when you blew it up. However:
Deaf people can still read music. They can feel vibrations. They can watch the musicians, the guy with the baton. Nothing, absolutely nothing prevents a deaf person from describing what they experience if they attend a symphony. YOU’RE limited, expecting that anyone you ask will tell you about it in terms you can relate to. And dismissing anyone who can’t.

Besides the obvious, this brings to mind this wonderful song, which is, perhaps, even more relevant:
She sits around all day on her window sill,
Letting her legs swing with the music,
The noise from her rooms drives all the neighbours ill
She is blissful, smiling with joy.
She knows not that snow hits the ground without a sound,
Notices not the pounding on the wall…
[Chorus]
She enjoys music only when it’s loud!
That is the only thing she hears!
She enjoys music only when it’s loud!
When it drives goes up right her stomach!
She enjoys music only when it’s loud!
When the ground trembles below her feet!
That’s when she forgets that she’s deaf!
Oh-wo-wo-wo!
The man of her dreams must be a bass singer,
The stomach tickling drives her nuts.
Her mouth to seem to scream silently in utter joy,
Her gaze is raptured out of this world.
Her hands know not who to talk to,
There is no one who speaks with her…
[Chorus, bridge, chorus, chorus]
- Herbert Grönemeyer, Musik nur, wenn sie laut ist , 1983 (own translation)
