The good lord realized that robes and sandals and deserts would look really great in Biblical epics directed by Cecil B. DeMille.
I should probably read the whole thread before I react, but I’m pressed for time. I apologize if this was covered, but where in the Bible does it say that the snake was (or had anything to do with) Satan? If you’re going to take the Bible literally, you should probably avoid such conclusions.
If the snake was Satan, does that mean that Satan was also condemned to crawl around on his belly? If not, wasn’t it a bit unfair to snakes to condemn them all to an eternity of not having any legs? After all, the poor snake would not have been in control if Satan had taken over its body to inspire Eve to have a moment of unlawful carpophagy?
Argh. I knew if I kept reading, that someone else would have brought up the snake thing. I hang my head in shame and wish I could edit my other post.
This post is the word of God.
How do you know this post is the word of God? Well, because the sentence above says so. But why should we trust that? Well, because it’s the word of God, and one should always trust God. But how do we know this post is the word of God? Well, because the sentence above says so. But why should we trust that? Well…
Having established that this post is indeed and irrefutably the word of God, God would now like to mention that you should really get out and exercise a little more - you’re looking a little flabby.
Hmm, all ja’s posts were to this one thread, and he may have lost interest.
I think he exhausted his supply of canned arguments cribbed from creationist websites. It never felt like he was actually debating – he was just parroting talking points that he’d memorized, and, once that didn’t work, Bible quotes.
What time? Central or Pacific time? I’d hate to miss it

WRONG!!!
Everyone knows that sponges live in the ocean. Everyone also knows that sponges are good at absorbing water. The real reason why the seas don’t fill up and overflow then, is because of all the sponges.
It should have been obvious.
UNDER the sea. In pineapples.
How did kangaroos get to Australia? That is easy. They must have taken a left turn at Albaquerque.
An equally interesting question is, why aren’t there any kangaroos left in the Middle East? In fact, why aren’t there any animals/insects that are native to every part of the planet? [Apologies if jasourdough covered this earlier, but I got bored.]
The end of the world predictions have been going on a long time. My grandmother talked about the nuts at 1900. It was going on long before that.
There was a woman who had her own religious TV show a couple decades ago. She predicted the end and took all her followers out to the desert to await the end. It did not happen. She gathered up all her followers, went home and recalculated the end. A few years later they all went back out there and tried again.
This is just another one.

Apparently meteors rained down and selectively blasted different animals to different parts of the globe. Seriously.
God is actually Minnesota Fats?
According to that site the year 2000 would mark the start of The Tribulation, a seven year interval of great suffering and death. Bush was elected in 2000. COINCIDENCE???
Well…yes, actually.
I am responding to this post without reading any later posts. Why? Because I’m getting out on my bike -------- like God said.
