Pearo Posted January 5, 2016 Share Posted January 5, 2016 God is all powerful Bruce, and yet people think they can fool him because he can't see them when they are sinning. Not a hair of your head etc but go to church on Sunday and it's OK to rob people blind Mon to Sat. Nev Stop trying to be rational. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

turboplanner Posted January 22, 2016 Share Posted January 22, 2016 If flying was possible in the times of Cleopatra then we would have a God of flying and it would be so much safer. Dam those Egyptians for not thinking ahead. They weren't actually gods. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DonRamsay Posted January 22, 2016 Share Posted January 22, 2016 Just for balance, here are a couple of jokes those born again find hysterically funny: "Q: How do you make an atheist appreciate life? A: Break his legs. " Two cannibals are eating an atheist, and one says to the other, "Can you believe the way this guy tastes?" And this one to demonstrate their deep scientific knowledge: "Q: How does an Atheist girl have her hair done? A: In big bangs! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bruce Posted January 22, 2016 Share Posted January 22, 2016 Is that really in the Bible Don? I read that in China you have to buy the Bible at an X-rated bookshop. But the bit you showed didn't seem the right sort of wording. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But the bit you showed didn't seem the right sort of wording. Slightly interpreted but the original is close enough: "There she lusted after her lovers, whose genitals were like those of donkeys and whose emission was like that of horses." Seems that, according to the Bible at least, size really does matter! Just to add a bit more . . . Seems the original in ancient Hebrew was much more graphic and the above is the "toned-down" version of the King James version - cleaned up so it could be read out to the faithful from the pulpit.

Guest Deskpilot1 Posted January 23, 2016 Share Posted January 23, 2016 When I was living in Singapore in the 70's, Hong Kong Bibles were the best form of light reading available. Much better than the modern porn film mainly because they had a decent or indecent story line and there were no repeats to make it last longer.

Bruce Posted January 23, 2016 Share Posted January 23, 2016 In Adelaide yesterday, this guy was killed by lightning on a church camp... wow I thought, where was the Archangel Gabriel ? Why did he not send the lightning bolt on a sinners camp? Are they ( Gabriel and his bosses ) sleeping on the job or what? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But the bit you showed didn't seem the right sort of wording. That is the perfect place for the Bible......it's ADULT reading only, and should never be inflicted on children. Like drinking and voting, material regarding life altering decisions should be made as adults not force fed to kids. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bruce Posted January 24, 2016 Share Posted January 24, 2016 Hi terryc, I would have responded earlier but I was off flying. I had a look at where the SA bushfire burned the farmlands north of Gawler. I prefer spending time here to watching TV, which my wife is doing now. One reason is that here I can make a comment if I feel like doing so. And much of the content here is of a higher intelligence level. You obviously feel the same to have contributed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
facthunter Posted January 24, 2016 Share Posted January 24, 2016 ANYTHING is of a higher intelligence level than normal TV except for some individual good programmes. A good piece of technology wasted. Free to air is worth what you pay for it. Nev Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marty_d Posted January 24, 2016 Share Posted January 24, 2016 Can't agree with that one Nev - the ABC puts on some fantastic shows (mostly from the BBC). I also try to get Letters and Numbers on SBS for the maths problems (ok, I really watch it to see Lilly Serna, but I also like the maths problems) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
facthunter Posted January 24, 2016 Share Posted January 24, 2016 I did qualify my statement If you read it carefully. Catalyst is not from the BBC and it's a good show. BBC cut ABC from it's favoured customers a few years ago. I just can't stand the ads, (especially the unending gambling ones) and dumbing down from the other stations.

octave Posted January 24, 2016 Share Posted January 24, 2016 A free VPN allows me to watch BBC programs just after they are aired in the UK. Most recently I watched (almost live) the space walk of British astronaut Tim Peake with commentary from Brian Cox, Dara O'biain, retired astronaut Chris Hadfield plus 2 other experts. Very engaging as they did have an emergency during the space walk. It amazes me when people bag the BBC, either they hate science or they don't actually watch it.
