After all, it wasn't the Amish or the Puerto Ricans that hijacked planes and crashed them into buildings on 9/11 - it was a group of Muslim extremists. Oh, and just for the record - my school (the flight campus anyway) has more Asian students than American students because of a huge contract with the Chinese government.

Ok, I really am going to sleep now. Tired is no way to fly.

God thinks you're an asshole too btw.

Thanks for the comment! I'll file them away in my "ignore" drawer. Oh, He loves you, BTW :)

Not the true word of G-d. Man's mis-translation of His word from one language to another is bound to have errors. The original text written in Hebrew has very few translation errors (something on the order of thousandsths of a percent) over the past couple thousand years.
What was the point of the link you provided? To prove that because man's not perfect G-d doesn't exist? Once again, the actions and beliefs of imperfect men does not invalidate the existance of G-d. You can post tripe like this all day long and you'll still never convince me G-d is a lie.

And the original Hebrew texts were not put to paper for thousands of years, until that time they were just stories told from one generation to another.

And that's all the Bible is anyway, a bunch of stories to scare the dumb.

Thanks for your opinion! I'm glad to know that with the use of a) your time machine b) your omnipresence and c) eternal life: you were able to travel back in time to the beginning of the world and follow the entire history of the Israelites up until now to make such a bold statement.
I see the master deceiver is still using the "the word of G-d is nothing more than a bunch of stories" line, and "validates" it because modern day man could not witness the accounts of the Bible first-hand and thus has no "proof" of its occurrences. Believe whatever you wish. That's your entitlement. I don't see why you feel so compelled to 1) attack me (as per your previous post) and 2) attack my beliefs. Do my beliefs offend you that much? Good. My beliefs do not exist to appease those who do not believe in G-d.

Anyway, it's been fun chatting with you all this morning, but I have a flight to catch and I need to leave for the airport now. I'll probably check back in between class and work. TTYAL

P.S. God doesn't exist, but is only a way for stupid people like you to have a reason for doing dumb things. Just cause you're too afraid of the real world you need to believe in an afterlife and crap like that.

Just cause you're ignorant doesn't mean you should bother us with your crap, try reading information on the history of the Torah and Bible first. Or try actually reading those books in the first place, if you still think they contain the truth you apparently didn't do that either.

I am not offended by reli-freaks like you, just irritated. The only offensive thing about you is the 'beloved patriot' remark, but that just shows more ignorance and stupidity on your part.

Edit: argh!!! Foiled by weather! I hate weather cancellations :(

Seeing as how G-d doesn't hate anyone, your comment is invalid. "Stupid" people like me who have an I.Q. of 170 huh? Yeah, I sure am an idiot... Sorry for the beloved patriot remark, it was not meant to offend or incite. I definitely could have phrased that more delicately but as I explained in a previous post, I was associating the anger with 9/11 with Muslims as a whole rather than their extremist brethren. I guess I'm not allowed to make a mistake, whereas everyone else gets a free pass wheenver they want. Sorry for being human. I don't hate Muslims, I don't hate anyone. You on the other hand with your relentless attacks...
"try reading those books in the first place ... apparently didn't do that either" Ok, I'll bite - what makes you say this? With the limited knowledge you have of me and my beliefs from what you've read in this thread, how are you able to accurately come to that conclusion?

Buddy, you talk a lot, but don't say much. Your IQ doesn't impress me one bit. I know plenty of guys that can calculate the exact angle/speed/thrust the space shuttle needs to reach Pluto while powered by a peanut, but I wouldn't let them cross the street by themselves lest they get run over.

You quoting all this theological Bull$hit is neither here nor there.

Using big words and mixing them in w/some theism-type verbage does not a prophet make. You ain't it. (sic)

I'm sure you like riding your high horse and assuming you're better than the unwashed masses, but get over yourself, OK?

EURYTHMICS
Missionary Man

Well I was born an original sinner.
I was borne from original sin.
And if I had a dollar bill
For all the things I've done
There'd be a mountain of money
Piled up to my chin...

My mother told me good
My mother told me strong.
She said "Be true to yourself
And you can't go wrong."
"But there's just one thing
That you must understand."
"You can fool with your brother-
But don't mess with a missionary man."

Don't mess with a missionary man.
Don't mess with a missionary man.

Well the missionary man
He's got god on his side.
He's got the saints and apostles
Backin' up from behind.
Black eyed looks from those bible books.
He's a man with a mission
Got a serious mind.
There was a woman in the jungle
And a monkey on a tree.
The missionary man he was followin' me.
He said "Stop what you're doing."
"Get down upon your knees."
"I've a message for you that you better believe."


Or...how about:

Should I See
by Frozen Ghost

cover my eyes and ears
til it all dissapears
how can you judge for me
what i should hear and see
you take away freedom of choice
take away the right to voice
my beliefs and and all my views
you take away my right to choose

chorus:
(na na na na na naaaah...)
show me what should i see
(na na na na na naaaah...)
make my mind up for me
(na na na na na naaaah...)
show me what should i see
(na na na na na naaaah...)
what should i see

how can you censor my thought
what is right what is not
how is it you decide
what i should feel inside
quoting god as you discuss
what is right and wrong for us
you inundate us with your views
you take away my right to choose

(repeat chorus)

you take away freedom of choice
you take away my right to voice
my beliefs and all my views
you take away my right to choose

(repeat chorus )

...make my mind up for me
show me what should i see

Personally, I'd be impressed. 130 is approx the 98th percentile, so I wouldn't be suprised if 170 was .005% of the population. On the other hand, I would be very suprised if buddy really has an IQ of 170 AND spends his time posting to polarized ATOT threads.

Believe what you like. I don't need to go digging up the results of the myriad IQ tests I've taken so I can post them here and "prove something" to you. If you all wish to believe I'm an idiot, that's fine. I know the truth, my family knows the truth, my friends know the truth, and anyone with whom I've ever gotten into a meaningful conversation IRL knows the truth. That's good enough for me. G-d blessed me with intelligence (among many other things) and I'm thankful for it.
For those of you who posted the name of the L-rd hoping to offend me or "get my goat": you can do as you please. I am not your judge. Just remember: there are consequences for your actions.
Anyway, I have to go to work now (some of us have jobs). It's been fun chatting with you all! If I'm not too tired when I come home tonight perhaps I'll check up on things and say "howdy."

Thats really it in a nutshell. Now think about if your right or wrong? What options are avaliable for you?



Well you're forgetting the jillion other ways to live your life. You can take the way of Zen and reincarnate untill you reach Nirvana. Or follow koran and get the 69 virgins and heaven and stuff. Or you could be hindi and burn in hell because of hamburgers, or you could ....

It's not just believe in jesus / dont believe in anything. Theres huge number of philosophies to follow

Bingo!

You just hit upon a BIG problem I have with the Christian faith (Well, Islam, too). The ol' "It's my way or the highway -[to hell]" mentality.

Utter arrogance.

My God is better than your God because I said so and if you don't believe in MY God, you're going to what MY religion calls hell!

I hate to burst your bubble, but you don't have an I.Q. of 170. I can tell that much after reading some of your past posts. Your ability to write down your thoughts in a coherent manner is not on the level of someone with a 170 I.Q.

Also, I.Q. is only a valid measure of certain types of intelligence. Even if you had an I.Q. of 170, just based off your 'beloved patriot' comment and your condescending attitute towards others, it is readily apparent that what you supposedly have in intelligence you lack in wisdom.

Judging by the combative stance, I'd venture a guess that IRL people don't frequently refer to you in passing as "zen master".

seriously, aggresively posting that you're not bothered by anything smacks of bravado. Just try to let things go and you'll have a lot less stress.

Does this mean that when I die, I'm gonna go to heaven and God is gonna be all like "dude you used one of my 500 different names without censoring the vowels. Sorry, you cannot enter!" Because that would suck so much. What if I substitute vowels with numbers... can I say G0d? My IQ is only 10, so maybe the great gee zero dee can forgive meeeee.

Hey guys, I have a 171 IQ because I am blessed and my mommy says that I do.

PS: I hate 'towel heads' and I am a racist & intolerant piece of sh1t.

:disgust:
