So is God outside of time or what?

I recently took a fairly long hiatus from arguing with religious people, creationists, and other kooks on the internet. It really is a pretty major waste of time. Part of it was all the internet drama around the Internet Infidels forum and what a wasteland it's turned into, but that's a whole different topic.

Anyway, There is some value in arguing with shitheads on the internet: you get the chance to try all of your own beliefs, concepts, and morals by fire. Some fires burn brighter than others, naturally, but everyone ought to take some time to defend the shit they believe in, I think. A little training in logic and having to defend your beliefs might reduce the amount of bullshit in this world by, like, a whole tenth of a percent.

But again, I'm off on another topic. This is about one paticular bad idea. Some ideas out there on the internet are so blisteringly stupid that they could flense the myelin right off your neurons. Young Earth Creationists have a major lock on many of these shit ideas, but some ideas are just dumb. Not chest-pains and dizziness dumb, just dumb.

For exmaple, the idea that god is outside of time. I've seen a shit load of apologists try and use this daft idea to explain away a lot of theological inconsistencies. Go ahead, google it. You'll find thousands of examples of people using it and plenty of examples of people taking it apart. Me, well, I'm not so pithy or witty that anything I have to say will add much to what's already out there. However, I can draw fairly well...and they say a picture can be worth a whole bunch of words...
