yellow brick road apologetics

Coined by Robert M. Price in "The Case Against The Case For Christ", derived from The Wizard of Oz.

Arguing for the truth of a controversial, often religiously significant claim by presupposing the truth of some other equally controversial claim.
"This is why, if apologists like William Lane Craig can get an opponent as far as admitting that Joseph of Arimathea probably did have Jesus interred in his own tomb, and if the women did probably visit the tomb, and that the tomb was probably found to be empty, he can press on to the conclusion that Bingo! Jesus must have risen from the dead! What they somehow do not see is that to argue thus is like arguing that the Emerald City of Oz must actually exist since, otherwise, where would the Yellow Brick Road lead?" -The Case Against The Case For Christ (p.209)

"The disciples clearly didn't hallucinate Jesus after the crucifixion since he allowed Thomas to poke his wounds and he shared bread with them. Simultaneous hallucinations involving multiple sensory modalities just don't happen."
"Yeah, that's just yellow brick road apologetics."

Goodbye Yellow Brick Road

When are you gonna come down?
When are you going to land?
I should have stayed on the farm
I should have listened to my old man
You know you can't hold me forever
I didn't sign up with you
I'm not a present for your friends to open
This boy's too young to be singing, the blues
So goodbye yellow brick road
Where the dogs of society howl
You can't plant me in your penthouse
I'm going back to my plough
Back to the howling old owl in the woods
Hunting the horny back toad
Oh I've finally decided my future lies
Beyond the yellow brick road
What do you think you'll do then?
I bet that'll shoot down your plane
It'll take you a couple of vodka and tonics
To set you on your feet again
Maybe you'll get a replacement
There's plenty like me to be found
Mongrels who ain't got a penny
Sniffing for tidbits like you on the ground
So goodbye yellow brick road
Where the dogs of society howl
You can't plant me in your penthouse
I'm going back to my plough
Back to the howling old owl in the woods
Hunting the horny back toad
Oh I've finally decided my future lies
Beyond the yellow brick road

the yellow brick road

When a group of mates hit a few select places in the deen.

1 - MH (Monkey House) for 2 4 1 happy hour, a reasonably heavy start to get the night going.
2 - TKs (Triple Kirks) for cheap drinks and robbing the bandits
3 - Club P (The Priory) for drinking VK's, turbo shandy's and dancing with as many minks as possible and making use of the robot and avp!
4 - international (The International Casino), for trying to win back some of the night out expenditure and prolong the immenseness of the night as long as possible and laugh at losers!
