What is happening with POST? I mean what is it, and how does it run, precisely?
I think that list is about it, btw.

I want to know why none of his parables were about chairs.

The Aramaic word for carpenter is "naggar." It's the same word used to describe a scholar or learned man. Although how learned a cabinet maker could be, I have no idea. But then, our language makes less sense, so who am I to criticise?
As far as the POST, I don't know how it works, but I do know they intend to launch Monday. I'll be figuring it out by trial and error, same as everyone else. Incidentally, If they reject this article, I'll make it as a user page, and let y'all know where it is.

That's probably where some of the problems arose from in your 'Failure of Christianity to Stand up to Reason' article came from: simple mistranslations.
English isn't that confusing, as long as you are clever. And have it as a first language.

Who did that Classical sculpture of Moses with horns? The reason for that is the word for horns in Hebrew is "karnaim" which also means rays such as beams of light. So when the bible described his head beaming light it was interpreted as horns coming out 'is scalp. I love being an atheist

WowbaggerTIP Posted Dec 25, 1999
lol SO you mean that Moses could be interpreted to be the illegitimate son of Old Nick? Now that is ironic

it was de vinci (who sculpted moses)
as for being an atheist, seems like we
got the short end of this whole millenium
thing. no massiah will come looking
for us when the clock strikes 12.
just the nosey neighbour from upstairs
asking you to turn down the volume.

True, but we can laugh at those who stood all night on the mount of Olives waiting for the long-haired geezer riding a donkey.

on the other hand, if anything
biblical does occure , we lot are gonna
be standing there looking pretty stupid.
I disagree
Alon (aka Mr.Cynic) Posted Dec 28, 1999
If the donkeyed man does arrive then he'll save us all - maybe we'll have to say hail Mary a couple of times but that's it. But anyway, you must have a pretty weak belief if you question a messiah coming down so readily. Come on! Where's your faith?
I disagree
SISTER GREEN Posted Dec 29, 1999
first of the all, maby your guy
was good and pure and loved all man kind,
(jesus was the world's first hippie)
but the god of my people, the one
i was supposed to belive in, is an
egomaniacle self righteous allmighty
bully and belive you me , if he's
out there he's keeping score.
he wont forget those who didnt vote
for him.
further more, maby i dont belive
in god but i belive in irony,
and my life is a constant reminder
of the validity of murphy's law.
the bastard will probobley come down
from the sky just to spite me.
I disagree

My god is a tasty treat. You should convert.
I disagree
Alon (aka Mr.Cynic) Posted Dec 30, 1999
Does he mind if we eat him. I do like snacks. Please tell my it's a pantheist religion! Is it???
I disagree
Blatherskite the Mugwump - Bandwidth Bandit Posted Dec 30, 1999
If he were pantheist, you'd be eating everything...berries, trees, rocks, inner tubes...
I worship the Almighty Donut, who is superior to all the other gods in so many ways, and is the only god who provides complete fulfillment at a minimal expense.
I disagree
WowbaggerTIP Posted Jan 3, 2000
How do bagels, with both sweet and savoury fillings, fit into this world view?
I disagree
SISTER GREEN Posted Jan 3, 2000
let me tell you, the donut and the
bagle are mearley lesser gods
incharge of things like lamp posts
and phone books. if you ever have
tira-mi-su done to perfection
thy shelt truley know what devinity is.

Tiramisu - divine? Nay verily, thou must taste the heaven-sent nectar that is a BACON BUTTY.
This delicacy is why God forbade the Israelites from eating Pork;- he never really like them that much.
On the article itself, it's mean spirited, inaccurate and pretty damn funny. Suggestion for a follow-up - Fundamentalists themselves.
Divine Nosh
Blatherskite the Mugwump - Bandwidth Bandit Posted Jan 4, 2000
Fundamentalism is very poorly named, since it is neither fun nor particularly mental.
Key: Complain about this post
