Again, my point isn't that we should be using the Bible as the source of governmental workings, my point is that, by definition, Obama is not a Christian. Futhermore, you contradict yourself by saying that a person should follow the society's feeling of what is moral and by saying that previous majority's beliefs were immoral. I gave the example of majority choices that you would disagree with (and would rebel against, I imagine) then say we should follow the majority anyway. And why should they follow the majority, anyway? Who decided that, the majority? Finally, no, the Bible doesn't equate pi to be 3 (yes, I know what passage you're referring to), why would a parasite take up much romm on the ark, and it wasn't a pair of every species, it was a pair of every kind (but that's a different argument). |
So then how do we have all the species of insects that we do have right now? Did they all evolve between now and when the original insects left the Ark? Or was Noah just like, "Awww fuck it, God's not gonna check and see if I got EVERY one out there." Meanwhile Noah and his family had to be infected with every human parasite in existence for the sake of preserving the animals.
I am going to let you in on a little secret, the flood never happened. Go read the Sumerian/Akkadian flood myth and then read the Judeo-Christian one. And that's not even getting into the factual inconsistencies which have always plagued the flood story when comparing it to the actual fossil record.
But you seem to be a religious fundamentalist, so you're not going to listen what I have to say anyways.
And who are you to determine who is and who isn't a Christian? You are seriously opening yourself up to a Pandora's Box of judgment proclaiming that you understand the will of God so well. If Obama isn't a Christian based off his beliefs, you are not one based off your judgmental actions, or are at least are one who is going straight to hell.
We had two bags of grass, seventy-five pellets of mescaline, five sheets of high-powered blotter acid, a salt shaker half full of cocaine, a whole galaxy of multi-colored uppers, downers, screamers, laughers…Also a quart of tequila, a quart of rum, a case of beer, a pint of raw ether and two dozen amyls. The only thing that really worried me was the ether. There is nothing in the world more helpless and irresponsible and depraved than a man in the depths of an ether binge. –Raoul Duke
It is hard to shed anything but crocodile tears over White House speechwriter Patrick Buchanan's tragic analysis of the Nixon debacle. "It's like Sisyphus," he said. "We rolled the rock all the way up the mountain...and it rolled right back down on us...." Neither Sisyphus nor the commander of the Light Brigade nor Pat Buchanan had the time or any real inclination to question what they were doing...a martyr, to the bitter end, to a "flawed" cause and a narrow, atavistic concept of conservative politics that has done more damage to itself and the country in less than six years than its liberal enemies could have done in two or three decades. -Hunter S. Thompson
