| 710449 | 2008-10-08 05:06:00 | That's it in a nutshell, God used the hand of man to write his book, divine inspiration. Go to any Church, They will tell you. Though expect them to burn you at the stake when you tell them its to be treated as poetry. Its the book of all knowledge, The way, The truth, the word of God.Stronger and more truthful then any science. But hey, what would they know, They just based their entire lives around the book. My uncle is a roman catholic priest, and he admits quite freely that the bible was both written by man, and shouldn't be taken absolutely literally. The actual meaning behind most of the bible takes a little bit of thought to get to. When it comes to it, it's actually freaking hard to live your life by the bible. Most people just pick and choose what they like and leave the rest by the wayside. Or do you think that when it says "thou shalt not covet thy neighbours wife" that it means ONLY your neighbour? Every passage has to be interpreted, most passages have meaning beyond what a first glimpse might tell you. If they didn't, I can't imagine very many people reading it for very long. Wouldn't really have the repeat reading factor going for it. |

| 710451 | 2008-10-08 05:18:00 | If the concept of Noahs Ark is mega unbelievable. It could be topped off by believing the story about a dude in the bible who got gobbled by a fish and survived.` I have always wondered if dinosaurs like T Rex went into the ark. But not possible really because the bible dates the creation of earth around 10, 000 yrs ago. Dinosaurs were a little after that by little I mean 100s of millions of years of course |

Which is why we are all going to hell. Anyway, I'm taking the piss, The bible is written by man with no intervention of God (any self-respecting supreme being would never let his name been associated with that dribble), and is as full of fantasy as your average Harry Potter novel. Ignorant people trying to make sense of things well beyond their ability to comprehend. Other then that, The point of the Bible is to gather money. Of course, I have had both my sons baptised..........Muhahahahahaha |

But not possible really because the bible dates the creation of earth around 10, 000 yrs ago. Dinosaurs were a little after that by little I mean 100s of millions of years of course Ok, lets take a minute to go through these statements. Why would any logical person take a fully grown TRex onto the ark? It would eat more, take up more room, and have less life to re-populate on earth once it gets out. A baby TRex would of course be the logical way to go. Also the Bible says that many of the creatures hibernated during this time And are dinosaurs really 100s of millions of years old? How come every year we are finding 'living fossils' of creatures that supposedly died out millions of years ago? I mean how do they really know how old these fossils are anyway? Did they dig them up and it had a wee sign on it saying "im 100 million years old"? Please don't refer to Carbon/Radiocarbon dating either because this is not accurate past 50-100,100 years. Rock layers? These aparantly take thousands of years etc to lay down so you can say that becuase it was X far down it must be X number of years old - pretty feeble argument considering a large seismic interuption (volcanoes, earthquakes) can cause these layers to form very rapidly. I could go on but I won't. The story of Jonah - well similar experiences have happened - whether myth or truth I can't be sure because it wasn't me :o Take this (www.trivia-library.com) example for instance. Could be a story made up by a bunch of fishermen smoking too much pot but yea.. :confused: |

| 710455 | 2008-10-08 06:32:00 | Just to give some perspective on relativities: Christianity: 2.1 billion, give or take. The rest: 4.8 billion and rising. I won't be praying for a miracle cure for my printer problems. Strikes me that the after-life must be getting damn crowded by now, even allowing for those who go the other way for a good roasting so now would be a good time to buy up space while the market is depressed. You could on-sell it to some heathen billionaires for a good profit. Selling heaven futures is definitely the way to go, the God Squads have been doing that for centuries and really coining it. They have a world-wide organisation of collection agencies with a variety of different names to give the illusion of variety and choice, and they have a zero complaint record so they must be doing something right.

| 710456 | 2008-10-08 06:43:00 | Well, yeah. But, it's in the book (or several books), and TV too, so it must be true.) Picking the right brand is a shade tricky, and a lifetime guarantee is not enough. I'll go with the popular choice to get the warmer weather. | R2x1 (4628) | ||

I was just thinking, Do you think your uncle could highlight the passages written by god? Would make the entire "lets not go to hell" concept a whole lot easier. Just need the Pope to sign it off for us and we will be good to go. |
