Wait, you mean all I had to do was tack "In my most humblest of opinionses" onto the front of every post and it would all have been totally acceptable? ... ... ... ... this seems deceptively simple in my opinion :suspect:

Probably will struggle though... in so much that I'm not sure where I'd actually find one to swear on. A church maybe? Do churches just have them lying about these days? But they're all locked at night... hmmmm... Wait! I know! A hotel!! Hotels ALWAYS have a bible in the room. Actually hold on a minute... the last few times I've been in a hotel there hasn't been one. It's probably considered a jihad-trigger these days or something.

Buy one? Do you buy bibles? And where? It seems sort of wrong that they'd be for sale... ... ... and which bible shop is going to be open at this time?

Ugh. Maybe Kirk would send me one of his? He probably has like 20, various editions with various translations and such. I can't ask Truth, he only has one and it's covered in this weird sticky gunk... I don't even know... it smells like ammonia.

Which is the best bible to swear on? Is there a heirarchy of bibles?

WAIT! I've got it!!

http://www.bible.com

...there's an app! I can just get the app and swear on my phone! Hooraaay, I shall do this post-haste.

(tl;dr = I'll swear anything you want on the bible or any other book you can think of, because it's words on woodpulp. Utterly meaningless.)

This is you...

Does it really matter if the premise is false or the conclusion disjointed and messy if the rest is enjoyable? Hmm. A metaphor for life, innit.

[edit]And religion, I suppose! :omgno: ... Though it doesn't seem like much fun to be fair.

Nope. ...i just have enough humility and respect for other people's opinions that I can back off and respect them particularly when I don't think they are being a sarcastic arse just for funsies like some :wink:

That's a bit harsh in my opinion :sad:. Cruel and vindictive some might say! Not me personally.

Inspirational, Annie... I've a new avatar to mark the occasion.

'Why are gods always invisible?'

We will never know. Why does it matter? Why can't people just leave religious people alone?

Don't be feeling sorry for the them. They're all going to be given eternal life in Paradise, (they have to die first of course, there's not gonna be any Paradise on Earth).

It's the rest of us you should feel for, we're all gonna to have a Red hot poker stuck up our backsides in Hell.

Just want to register my admiration for Annie and Ammi and Kaz for their reasoned, balanced, fair and sincere contributions to this thread.

I simply ADORE courageous women.

To All Ye Doubters:

PROVE TO ME - using the same criterion you demand of us believers concerning God - that ANY of these people ACTUALLY existed:

Pythagoras
Socrates
Plato
Aristotle
Empedocles

Good Luck.

Live and let live. If having a belief helps people cope better with their mortality then good for them.

It does say in the bible LT that the middle East would be unstable and will be at war with the West ,so I don't think it will be 'settling down' anytime soon.

"And ye shall hear of wars and rumours of wars: see that ye be not troubled: for all these things must come to pass, but the end is not yet. For nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom: and there shall be famines, and pestilences, and earthquakes, in divers places. All these are the beginning of sorrows". Matthew 24:6-8

Is any of this an untruth in your opinion ?

It says lots of things in the Bible as it runs to 1000 odd pages. There is no such thing as fortune telling or being able to see into the future as the future is a made up word made by man to describe something that has not happened so I am afraid what ever it prophesys in the bible is bogus

no one can predict the future, one can only guess

but you can be accurate some of the time if you predict obvious things or are suitably vague


I predict it will be warmer in August than in February

I predict there will be trouble in the middle east


I predict a riot


etc
