We are DOOMED, Sat may 21, 2011

Pennies? Shillings? What piss poor translation of the Bible are you using?Does it also say Jesus was born in Yorkshire?Good ol' Buzsaw (facepalm)Addendum by edit - Well upon further research it appears that infallible Bible that has never lost meaning through translation has lost some credibility through some translations.Penny - God's word, KJVA, ASV, Basic English, Douay, Darby-Rheims, ERV, Webster's.Denarius - NASB, ISV, Darby, World English.Day's pay - NLV, ESV, God's Word Translation, Catholic Reference.Day's wages - NIV.Shilling - Weymouth.Younge - denary (!!)$20 - Catholic Living.So a while back, you and one other actually had the guts to post which version of the Bible was infallible when I asked directly - you stated the KJV. However by quoting the Bible here it appears you are using the Weymouth, what gives?Edited by anglagard, : No reason given.

The idea of the sacred is quite simply one of the most conservative notions in any culture, because it seeks to turn other ideas - uncertainty, progress, change - into crimes.

According to my understanding of Canning, he states that each earthquake and general disaster will occur according to time zone. Therefore I guess each time zone, beginning with the western Pacific can post their trials and tribulations first.Now that does allow for some equality as each time zone can post in sequence. Therefore I believe it is most important that both the innocent New Zealand and guilty Australia (of sticking the US with Ham and Murdoch) be the first to either reassure or warn the rest of the world of the validity of yet another false prophet.Normally I would ask the Samoans, but given their propensity to both a natural mellowness and become contenders in Sumo wrestling world tournaments, I felt it unnecessary to ask such admirable people to even be remotely involved in such silliness.So the question again remains, does god use GMT or the meridian, or according to some locals around these parts, CMT?{ABE} we used to celebrate things like the harmonic convergence (May 82) and the end of the world (around August 87) which were quite memorable occasions according to most other participants. However at 53, married with child, stuck in Big Spring 330 miles from San Lorenzo Canyon, well, might get a bottle of Fraxinet and argue with the wife over who is better, Altman or Kieslowski{/ABE}Edited by anglagard, : No reason given.

Well according to the clock on the computer, it's 11:05 CMT which means American Samoa should be experiencing the rapture at this minute.Another miscalculation?{ABE} and the line islands portion of Kiribati {/ABE}Edited by anglagard, : mispellingEdited by anglagard, : No reason given.

Yes somehow I made the mistake of attributing your god's infallible word as penny instead of schilling. My bad. Once again, my mistake. I should have checked back with your response in Message 3 where you clearly state the ASV is 'closest' to the infallible translation. Well, I repeat, unlike all but one other respondent in that thread, at least you had the courage to identify which version of the Bible was, how should I put it, the least fallible.Considering this matter of infallible text, it is nice to know that your god uses a Victorian monetary system instead of that satanic decimal coinage.

The body count in the US due to recent floods, fires, tornadoes, drought, fire ants, spiders, drugs, traffic accidents, scary Mexicans, Bush Presidency, Iraq, Afghanistan, Vietnam, Korea, WW2, WW1, and even false prophecy (see Heaven's Gate, Koresh, Manson, etc.), still do not total the death toll the US population had under the American Civil War at any equivalent period of time.Please let me know when your knowledge of US history is equal to your supposed prophecies, as far as I can tell at this moment, they are not worth a schilling.Edited by anglagard, : Those traffic accidents can really add up quick, the point remains, name any 5 year period of time.

Dang, I thought I was harsh. You should realize that Buz is the whetstone that allows us to sharpen our knives.

Apparently his 'prophecies' were only meant for god-honest true believers, namely himself.And we accuse Buddhists of staring into their own navel?
