"God" is responsible for everything. Period. The entity known as Jesus Christ, was anti-hypocrisy (something a few here could learn from), not "anti-religion" and was quite happy to start his own church .... Mathew 16: 18; And I say also unto thee, That thou art Peter, and upon this rock I will build my church; and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it. 19; And I will give unto thee the keys of the kingdom of heaven: and whatsoever thou shalt bind on earth shall be bound in heaven: and whatsoever thou shalt loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven. At the last piss up, he told his own self appointed Bishops what they should do; Luke 22: 19; Do this in memory of Me. (conceit or what?) Matthew 28: 19; Make disciples of all nations. Mark 16: 15; Go into the whole world and proclaim the Gospel to every creature. Stand out in the street even today and proclaim yourself to be the son of God and see how far you get ... Actually in Mornington where I grew up, every Saturday morning there was a street preacher, bible in hand, on Main St yelling away, geez us kids gave him curry!

I happen to have a picture of Ultralights ... [ATTACH]47477._xfImport[/ATTACH]

.. he said while manipulating the sciences of physics and nature itself to tell us his view in a way that no other species has even remotely come close to doing, not even the fabled Gods. My Mum loves me whatever I might be.

Pretty piss poor that the "World's leading atheist" would use the word "almost" in this context; Dawkins contends that a supernatural creator almost certainly does not exist and that religious faith is a delusion Sounds a bit safe to me, after death at the Pearly Gates: "Well Peter, sure I wasn't God's greatest supporter, but I wasn't in complete denial ...." Well he's $13.5 million better off than an equivalent Theologist

A Buddhist, a Rabbi and a Catholic Preist walk into a bar. The Bartender says "Is this a joke?".

Who, the bunch of people having 'tongue in cheek' fun in life surrounding real life reportable coincidences surrounding the number 47, or the bunch of people who subscribe to a groundless, mythical creature and book of fiction that keeps getting disproved but still hold on despite and even to spite the reality?

In 5 years all will be known to you because the meaning of life is 47, always was well before Adams came along. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/47_(number) http://www.47.net/47society/ Adam's "42" does however prove just how people will fall over themselves to believe in something and how it can spread so easily.

Indeed, we now know what causes volcanoes, earthquakes, storms etc so it's bemusing that people think praying to mythical God for these matters is still a requirement. The red hot pokering still goes on ...

Well I'm a believer now after finally finding a God created in my own image.

I'm surprised the spark plug hasn't been mentioned yet .. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coso_artifact http://theonematrix.com/history/

When everything is coming your way, you're in the wrong lane.

'After the Ten Plagues, Moses led the Exodus of the Israelites out of Egypt and across the Red Sea, after which they based themselves at Mount Sinai, where Moses received the Ten Commandments. After 40 years of wandering in the desert, Moses died within sight of the Promised Land.' The third tablet was actually a road map on how to get to the promised land, DOH! I reckon it was intentional punishment from God for the 'Burning Bush' incident. See according to Moses, God told him to "Lead the Israelites!" from behind the bush, I hear God actually said, using the quite common phrase for "piss off" back in those days; "Get out of Egypt will ya, I'm having a poo!".

You underestimate the power of nature as a keeper of freshness and remind you they find many millions of years old insects perfectly preserved. “Dig That Garbage” Excerpted from WORLD, April 1994 Pizza crusts, last week’s newspapers, dead batteries, rotten eggs, old diapers—ewww, gross! But archaeologist William Rathje, of the University of Arizona, in Tucson, really digs this stuff. He dug through layers of garbage in one of the world’s largest landfills, in New York City. Dr. Rathje and his students also have carefully sorted through 18,000 trash bags. “I was born to do this,” he says. “My sense of smell isn’t very good.” His Garbage Project has found that many of our ideas about landfills are...well, rubbish. We may believe that trash in a landfill biodegrades, or breaks down, into a nice natural slop. But Rathje has seen hot dogs that are 40 years old and still look like hot dogs. He also has found dozens of newspapers that could still be read, even though they were printed in the 1950s. Biodegradation in a landfill takes place very slowly. The idea of a landfill is to bury the garbage in a pit. Next comes a layer of soil to reduce odors and keep out animals. But much of the garbage is packed so tightly and kept so dry that very little can break down. As a result most landfills may end up preserving garbage instead of helping it rot. People should recycle and reuse, Rathje says. “But the best way to reduce the amount of stuff we send to landfills is to generate less garbage in the first place.” A bit difficult, she's not built the same as me.

Funniest thread in ages, I really should get back to work now though!

Nope, Admin (Ian) hasn't been on this evening.

I got all of that when I moved out of Logan City.

Well we have to presume the first 144,000 authoritative ruling positions are taken up already, so I guess that leaves either footwasher, white robe washer or palm branch trimmer. Oh, maybe translator. Whichever it is he's gunna be busy now that they have all woken up. Revelations 20 1-6 The 144,000 are those sealed and risen with Christ who have the athority to judge, who did not receive the mark .... the rest of the dead did not come to life until the 1,000 years were ended. Revelation 7:9 - "After this I looked, and behold, a great multitude which no man could number, from every nation, from all tribes and peoples and tongues, standing before the throne and before the Lamb, clothed in white robes, with palm branches in their hands..."

I don't give a toss about the circumstance, the permission is there that should never be under any circumstance. Along with most of the 15 Nuremberg Trial Nazis. Seems you can go around killing, pillaging, raping and murdering 10's of millions of people including Christ's own but hey, repent a few days before they neck you and all is good - "Yeah fella's, come right in, you're excused". My Mum, sweetest, most charitable, honest person one could know ain't going, not a believer, probably no room with those fat murdering Nazi's there anyway.

Hey Rev, out out curiosity, how come I can't eat prawns (Leviticus 11:10) but can eat babies (Deuteronomy 28:57)? Kind of puts me in a dilemma of Biblic proportions on a Sunday arvo, eg; "hmm, throw fresh prawns on the BBQ or the new baby?" Luckily a big voice booms down from the heavens "throw the prawns on", sounds a bit like Paul Hogan actually, probably Mick on the 4th floor having a lend of me.

If they took the myth known as Jesus Christ seriously, then they know he's coming back, so one can only conclude that they themselves don't take it seriously.

Ironically I ended up sending all 3 of mine to Trinity College (Beenleigh). After a couple of years with the first and a year with the second, I was unhappy with the general lack of discipline at Marsden High and we just sat down occasionally and reviewed the religious teachings and dissected the nonsense down to the moral and ethics. Problem with the ALP is they forget the 'P' part, internal unity hasn't been their strong point for quite some time, very self destructive.

Well there's hypocrisy right there. Ever notice that the stronger the Catholicism in a country, the greater the poverty.

Don't get me wrong, I have nothing against "discovering" but imagine if the Royal Children's Hospital had those sorts of budgets and minds what might be able to be achieved. Also I think they are going in the wrong direction, we know 3/5ths of bugger all about our Oceans.

You're missing out, I avoided it for the same reasons but caught it a couple of months ago, great movie. It's got action, adventure, sex, murder, deception, big frightening monsters (seriously!) and more blood and guts and a bigger body count than most war movies, I'm not joking! The religious aspect is very slight, I was quite surprised. Damn if they had sermons more like that movie I might even get along to church. My Children went to Marsden State Primary School and one day came home and mentioned that they were attending a class about Christ. Bible etc. Next day I was at the school to find out what was going on and indeed they decided they were holding a religious class once per week. I said not for my kids thanks to have the reply of "Very well, we will make an exception form for the children for you to sign" .. I went off my tree at the Principle explaining they had it the wrong way around, they needed a permission form from me for my children to attend a non-curriculum class, not to not attend.

I watch every Galaxy/Universe show that comes around, bloody fascinating stuff and the math that's behind the discoveries is beyond the grasp of us mere mortals and in the hands of only a few - Einstein being the best known of those few to us mere mortals of course. But whats the point? It consumes vast amounts of money to know why/where/when the Universe started or anybody else out there and it has no, and will never have, any effect on our daily lives. Incredibly fascinating, incredibly expensive and incredibly useless.
