Can we end a sentence with a preposterous?
We 'new atheists' have a reputation for being militant, but make no mistake  we didn't start this war. If you want to place blame put it on the the religious zealots who have been poisoning the minds of the  young for a long long time."

Down with all rules - grammar anarchy is what's needed!

But people who make complete sentences are socialist.  So complete sentences without rules are anarcho-syndicalist.

We already have that.  We call it art/music.  Those are the only fields with complete artistic license.  Everything else can only bend the rules, if that.

Absolutely!  Always!

Remember, diagramming sentences is preposterous!!
Is God willing to prevent evil, but not able?<br />Then he is not omnipotent,<br />Is he able but not willing?<br />Then whence cometh evil?<br />Is he neither able or willing?<br />Then why call him god?

Diagramming gives you something to work with.

So does the bible.  And that is preposterous.

And the two are equivalent in what fashion?

Well, now that I think about it---no connection at all.

If you read a little, you would know that the conception of grammar in languages descended from proto-Afro-Asiatic is completely different from that of languages descended from proto-Indo-European.  And yes, it does matter what language/culture you think and express yourself in.

How about ending a sentence with a proposition?

At some points in my life I could have propositioned either one of those young ladies.  It would probably have ended badly, but I could have done it.

Some people even have a thing for amputees ... it is a well known kink.
