If you say because God sent Noah to tell them, how would you expect them to know that he was really sent by God and wasn't just some crazy old man? If some guy told you that God is going to send a flood if you don't repent, would you believe him or would you just think he was off his rocker?

Someone asked a little bit ago,
"Are you an armed and dangerous soldier of Christ?"

So I just thought I'd see how it sounded to them, when changed slightly.

If you claim that the men Transcribing "gods word" made errors, which errors are you referring to? Also if the Bible was Divinely inspiried by God and there are still errors, then how important was it to god to get the message right? I would like to know what you mean when you say that mankind made the errors?

is it because those books didn't agree with what he prefers to believe?

why do Bible-fundamentalists use that incomplete version if they are really seeking for truth to spread to people?

If (hypothetical) the Bible is the inerrant word of God, why was it not set down in some universally understandable language of divine design, or at least in a way that translation and transliteration did not alter or obfuscate the meaning? After all, if it's the word of God and therefore infallible, shouldn't it be much more conducive to universally compatible interpretations instead of the current superfluity of conflicting beliefs based on the various Bibles?

Obviously looking for the Fundamentalist "Bible is the WORD of GAWD" type answers here. I understand it's a work of man.

I see questions over and over again by christians asking people of other sects how they can do what they are doing if the bible didnt say to do it. How do you guys think people believed and worshiped God during Biblical times when there was no Bible? Do you think only the people in the Biblical areas ever had the ability to follow the church of God? I just dont get why you think if it isnt in the Bible there is no possible way it can be right when the Bible isnt as old as the earth and most people couldnt read and write to see other prophetic teachings of those times.

Plus, isnt it possible that your interpretation of the Bible can be wrong? How does quoting the Bible really prove your point if I can turn around with my own interpretation for whatever scripture you are quoting me?

....your local police department come out in full force?

Apparently here in Las Vegas, to get the attention of few police cruisers and a few helicopters, it just takes one kid with a can of spray paint writing graffiti on a wall.

Dispatch:
"We have a casino robbery on Las Vegas and Main and a kid destroying property on Maryland and Trop."

Cruiser:
"Copy, we'll take the kid. Send a chopper out on him..."

There have been a number of segments on TV here in Australia lately about Americans being ignorant of geography/having poor general knowledge etc. I went on youtube and googled "stupid Australians" and came up with a few segments almost identical to those airing here, but with Australian people instead of Americans (note, some of them were not actually Australian people, but people putting on accents etc or from NZ and Britain).

These segments had watermarks which suggested they were actually aired on TV at some point, in the US, not just vids made for Youtube.

SO: are these segments common in the US, too? If so, do they only make fun of Aussies? And, finally, is it really that hard to tell our accents from Brits or Kiwis??

and for that fallable interpretation to be spread to all humankind to follow as truth?

the main point of this question is for Evangelicals to re-think if the 'truth' that they are spreading is really God's truth, or is it only their own interpretation of truth?

I was reading an ad in a magazine that said 4000 kids in third world countries die a day from dirty drinking water. Another commercial said so many thousand kids are dying from something else. I am fully aware that a lot of kids die daily in tehse countries, but are these high numbers realistic? Anyone know?

"If voting changed anything, they'd make it illegal"- Emma Goldman

Consider that the greatest reforms were enacted by courts or executive orders made under political pressure...what do politicians do on a day to day basis besides rape us and sell us to the highest bidder?

Why would an atheist doing this be so much worse than a Christian/Jew?
