The guy narrating it, had a toop that kept bobbing up and down on his head, as he talked. I got more out of watching the toop than about the debris on the side of the mountain.

When I begin to lose my hair, I know what kind of toop not to buy.

It is funny.

I had a doctor who had a toop. I did not listen to a word he said, because I kept looking at his bad toop and trying not to laugh.

And the front of it had a line of gauze where there used to be vinyl, polyester or whatever they make fake hair out of. I looked at this for several years.

One day, he shows up bald on top and trim on the sides. Said his wife told him to throw the damn thing out. Quite an improvement.

they could repopulate the world.

Ask that idiot Steve King.

Check the section about "Tracing The Goddess." They have to blame a woman, again, for taking up the ways of the serpent. The ways of enlightenment.

Tracing the Goddess

David Deal’s discovery relates directly to the depiction of a key, but relatively unrecognized Genesis woman in ancient art. In the early post-Flood world, the ancients revered Naamah, the last woman mentioned in the line of Cain (Genesis 4:22), who came through the Flood as Ham’s wife, and who then instigated the abandonment of God and the return to the serpent’s “enlightenment,” and the exaltation of man as the measure of all things.

This information is new to me. I didn't know that men had picked out another woman scapegoat for all the ill in the world other than Eve.

The only difference today is the extent to which this dogma is implemented, although it isn’t hard to find the common threads of forced modesty and muzzling of voices.

But it also might not be Noah's.

Zero actual evidence.

That Noah’s impossibility existed.

Only no actual evidence.

So, no.

Following his (itself problematic) work, recently, the Chinese were showing wood constructions in the ice, claiming they were the ark.

My guess is that 1) they found the wood constructions were old houses. And 2) then developed the apologetic theory that the houses had surely, however, been made from parts of the old ark.

but the absence of evidence where evidence should be, according to the theory means that the theory needs re-working.

Nonetheless, there may or may not have been a large flood in the past and a large boat. Or something.

Honestly could care less either way.

Er no that is not evidence of the ark.

Absence of evidence is not evidence of absence.

Ok you win the internets.

Whatever the random place is that it is claimed the ark supposedly exists at.

The current Holy Lands, Egypt and the Sinai Peninsula were all those people knew about.

Read Leviticus 11 and it’ll tell you every animal there was in the world of the Bible.

a imals who would under any other circumstance kill each other. So they decided to get along and just not eat until some future date when enough food was present to eat again without starving to death.

Real or Metaphor? Who should I believe?

:thinking:

But literalists, theists and non-theists, will insist on a strictly literal interpretation.

Never mind the bible goes to great lengths to describe the arc and pretty much the whole story is a cut-and-paste from earlier Mesopotamian flood story (which was also taken literally) because all that shit is metaphorical too.

Yep, anytime the bible flies in the face of reality it’s metaphor to the rescue. So when it comes to talking snakes, talking bushes, talking donkeys, floods, creating the universe inside a week, Samson’s magic hair, people turning into salt, zombies, hocus pocus people into existence, and exodus, you guessed it, all metaphor.

Ah but what about the biggest whopper of them all, you say? Nope, not metaphor I’m afraid. Jesus still gets to watch you masturbate.

No, really. I mean really no shit. That’s how it works.

They must have tripped and been killed coming down the off ramp.

And don’t forget all the dinosaurs drowned during the flood because Noah for some reason didn’t include them like he was told to.

" . . . some cats, some rats, some elephants, but Lord I'm so forlorned, i just canna find no unicorns . . . "

And “...humpty-backed camels and the chimpanzees....but sure as I’m born, you’re never going to find no unicorn.”

How the hell do I remember that yet sometimes can’t find my glasses when they’re sitting on my face?

And don't worry, I do the same thing with MY glasses, except they are parked on top of my head !

I also put pens behind my ears, then wander around looking for where I put down my pen.

Or read an entire paragraph in a book, then realize I have no idea what I just read.

And don't get me started on my cell phone, my car keys or the dog.

careless

...God murdered nearly all of the then extant human and animal population. He did this because of rampant wickedness, which apparently infected not just the adult humans, but the human toddlers, infants, and fetuses. The animals too. He didn't just painlessly *piff* them into nonexistence. Oh, no. He had to subject them to abject terror and a slow agonizing end and He had to have Noah and his family as witnesses to the slaughter.

And people wonder why the Evangelicals like Trump.

as a prototype of the pacifistic, non-violent revolutionary, the ultimate Community Organizer.
That Old Testament god? An insane, narcissistic sociopath.
Love your neighbor vs Who should I smite today?

And don't forget the poor fig tree.

Only that is difficult when the op is about the ‘evidence’ for a physical ark.

all those innocent beings dead and for what, the crimes (allegedly) of a few.
What then is it a metaphor for?

the fundies say "away".

Musta been after that when the kangaroos made their way to Australia. It's a timing thing.

that no "real" Christians actually believe the myths from Genesis.

Guess they were wrong!

P.S. Where did all the water go?

They let the dinosaurs out first because they drank even more than the elephants.

How did the freshwater fish survive? Did Noah have an aquarium on the ark?

God added the salt later. He used Lot's wife.

That’s a lot of salty wife.

The bible explains all.

Also by him:

Oh well, he confirms my favorite bible myth so he must be alright!
