Religion. The evolution, creation and everything in between megathread

[Black Heart]

Grr you stole my sucker punch.

[Lazza]

we'll leave it at that.

Now we're agreeing. But one little detail, next time you attempt an escape such as this...

I wasn't expecting you to give answers dude..... They were rhetorical questions - look it up. :asian:

... a sample of those "rhetorical" questions...

Do you think that chicken eaters/homosexuals getting discriminated against, beaten up, murdered or otherwise persecuted is a myth?

Make sure you've looked it up yourself because "A question mark is not used when asking a rhetorical question, like Isn't that ironic! A rhetorical question is a statement in question form, but it isn't meant to actually inquire about anything or be answered by someone."

So now you know, and in future when you're unable to respond to the answers provided to your questions, your "bwahaha they were rhetorical questions" quip will be seen for the farce that it was.

Or perhaps he didn't know that relatively obscure grammatical quirk of the English language. I certainly didn't.

By the way, did you ever actually give any logical explanations as to why homosexuals are evil and terrible and make you sad in the pants?

[GoatSlayer]

I'm flattered truly I am.

However I regret to inform you all that based on this thread (and this thread alone), I have decided to abandon my faith and turn back to the "dark side". Life is too short to live well, so I want to try and destroy myself with drugs and alcohol again. I think this is because I have been listening to more emo music lately.

(Incase you hadn't guessed, I was joking. My faith isn't that weak)

If you enjoy drinking and smoking, why stop? I see no reason why anybody couldnt live a morally just life while having the odd beer and joint.

Neither do I. Again, I was talking in terms of unhealthy levels of intake
Friday night for example - my beloved Chiefs beat the Crusaders, while I was at a local bar here with workmates. How could I not have a few beers to celebrate?!

A rolling stone mag with AC/DC on the cover? Now that IS a test of faith!

Tell me about it! Its actually a really good issue of Rolling Stone - 35th anniversary edition, so its filled to the brim with past stories on heaps of successful Aussie bands, like the AC/DC story was written in 1976 and so on. Plus it has a massive picture of Kylie, when she was hot hot HOT!

(Although, the fact that every major article was written years ago makes them kind of lazy)

[GoatSlayer]

Well, its good to know that you can exert a level of willpower that ive only read about on WoW forums. (used to play, but then i quit. read: my credit card stopped letting me pay for things)

[Lazza]

Or perhaps he didn't know that relatively obscure grammatical quirk of the English language. I certainly didn't.

I only mention it as he suggested I look it up, with the implication it was me who didn't know and needed educated. At one stage an upside down question mark was used on rhetorical questions, but that was dropped. Another thing is that it's perfectly fine to ask answer a rhetorical question anyway. What makes it rhetorical is that you didn't "intend" the question to be answered, that doesn't mean it can't be answered.

e.g.
Poster A "What are you, a grammar nazi!"
Poster B "Do fish swim!"

So it's even possible to answer a rhetorical question with a rhetorical question.

By the way, did you ever actually give any logical explanations as to why homosexuals are evil and terrible and make you sad in the pants?

Sorry, you've got the wrong poster there?

[BerG]

This will be the first thread in the world to reach 100 pages.

[Fragin]

This will be the first thread in the world to reach 100 pages.

esp. when there's a grammar nazi around.

wiki- "A rhetorical question typically ends in a question mark (?), but occasionally may end with an exclamation mark (!) or even a period (.) according to some writing style guides"

NOBODY CARES. MOVE ON WITH YOUR LIFE.

Err, YOU CARED when you tried to correct me on it.
Personally I don't think it's that important, it's you who raised the matter, not me.
If nobody cares then why did you bother?
You're very inconsistent.

[Black Heart]

lol
Fragin - Is this a rhetorical question
Lazza - Is this an answer

yeah but it's a classic :rnr:

[ThaFleastyler]

I sense a disturbance in the force.

[Fragin]

i know a guy who changed his official name to Obi-Wan Kenobi. :rnr:

[ThaFleastyler]

I know a girl who changed her official name to Jennifer.

I had a friend who came out of the closet - told his mom who told him not to tell his christian dad as his dad couldn't handle it and disown him

I am going out will a ginger chick, I know that my nonchristian scientist parents dont approve of me being a chromasexual but they have accepted it

why does jesus teach people to be haters? why would jesus want to break up family's

You've totally missed the point.
Jesus doesn't disown people; people disown people.

Christian people are as guilty of misunderstanding, and thus misrepresenting, Biblical principles as non-Christian people are.

if god had a computer would it be a apple, pc, or a custom made god edition?

[ThaFleastyler]

Probably a custom-made God edition, that He designed and built from scratch. As far as I know, Apple and the major PC manufacturers don't have stores in heaven, and couriers generally don't deliver there (ruling out the possibility of building a PC from ordered parts).

He knows a fair bit, being that He designed the most complicated system in the world (the brain).

Edit: the real question is: would he use Vista, or stick with XP Pro for compatability reasons?

Edit 2: which raises another question: did Bill gates use Vista, then realise it was a heap of shit, then roll back to XP Pro?

[Growler]

hed so use OSX!

lol do you think hed install GOD hax in the games he plays?

[private_hell]

well naturally he'd play with God mode on. what do you suppose the ping in heaven is like?

[KiLL3r]

or did he? if he "supposedly" created us in his image, then wouldnt whoever created god have created the brain?

Tom-ay-toes, Tom-ah-toes.
I'm more intrigued by this heavenly ping idea.
