That's an interesting point about the swords. I imagine if the Bible had been written 100 years ago the angels would have had rifles barring the way back to Eden.

Blood Show on Discovery Channel
by ChuckD indid anyone happen to catch the show on the cable tv discovery health channel this past weekend about blood?
i tuned in mid-way through it, just in time to see them covering bloodless surgery planned for a jw woman.
the patient was a very heavy, diabetic woman who needed heart surgery.. what i found interesting was that the patient refered to herself as a "jehovah witness" (sic) while the narrator of the program used the correct pronounciation.

The lack of education really showed in our hall too. Some of the talks that were given were laughable. The speaker either couldn't pronounce words correctly, or made such rediculous analogies that it was difficult for to not laugh out loud at them.
I think I've seen part of that show, but didn't see the witness. Was it a rerun? Seems like I saw it about 6 months ago, but don't remember exactly.

Unfortunately that will be the case. You know, cause that's the loving thing to do, treat the kid like a monster.

Frenchy's right. No doubt the local elders will be telling the family how to raise the kid thinking he was "spiritually raped" by the "Worldly" doctors. If they have any kind of brains at all they won't even mention this to him, but I don't see that happening.

Angelic Gender?
by nicolaou infunny how a strange thought can just 'pop' into your head.. .
according to genesis, a preface to the flood was the intercourse that took place between materialised angels and human women (gen 6:2).
if the angels have no gender, why were not at least some of them tempted by human men and so materialise as women?.

Gender bias. The bible was written by people that felt that women were property and not as smart as men so therefor no angel would ever be a woman.
Or because it didn't really happen. ;)

To all atheist
by crownboy ini would just like to know how you were able to arrive at your belief system.
if i am not mistaken, an atheist is a person who absolutely does not believe in the existence of a god.
while i can definitely understand why someone would be averse to believing in conventional theism (inconsistenies, errors in writing), i cannot understand how one can be 100% certain that a god does not exist.

Are you 100% certain Santa Claus doesn't exist? How about a big pink bunny in the sky? Zeus?
Or do you hold out that they might actually be real?
And as far as primary causes, if the Big Bang required a maker who made God?

Hi Mark- yeah I saw your post but that Network54 server seems to be very slow today so I'm laying low over there for now.
Nathan-
Where do you live that there is a waiting period to buy rifles? Here is WA there is no waiting period, you just show up and buy it. -

You can't buy automatic weapons, but I could pick up a rifle in about a half hour from now, including driving time. All those guns he bought in the movie could be bought about as easily as you saw in the movie, except for handguns. I don't think he bought any automatic weapons, but it's been a while since I saw it.
BTW nice to see a fellow M*A*S*H reference nickname on here. :)
