What is happening with POST? I mean what is it, and how does it run, precisely?

I think that list is about it, btw.

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. smiley - smiley I love being an atheist smiley - smiley

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. smiley - smiley

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? smiley - winkeye

If he were pantheist, you'd be eating everything...berries, trees, rocks, inner tubes... smiley - winkeye

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

How do bagels, with both sweet and savoury fillings, fit into this world view?


I disagree

SISTER GREEN

bagle are mearley lesser gods
incharge of things like lamp posts
and phone books. if you ever have
tira-mi-su done to perfection

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.

Fundamentalism is very poorly named, since it is neither fun nor particularly mental.
