usually i would have sympathized with them but that man looked really upset and the whole self righteousness pissed me off.
still after the old man left that guy talked about how god would avenge him,i found that quite grotesque to wish hell on someone because they jumped a queue.

Of course, they wouldn't have been able to engage in sanctimonious posturing if they'd just told the old man to fuck off, would they? It really does testify to the level of nastiness inherent in some supernaturalists, that they feel it perfectly legitimate to use their magic man fantasies as a means of vomiting forth spite and bile of this sort.

Ooops! Wrong profit.

Why should we believe in His Son Jesus? Because He is the one that toke away the penalty of sins in our place...

another one which comes to mind is that women are like delicate little flowers

Hmmm... as the King said in 'The King and I', "A girl is like a blossom, with honey for just one man. A man is like a honey bee and gather all he can. To fly from blossom to blossom a honey must be free. But blossom must not ever fly from bee to bee to bee."
.

..honey bees are female

Even so, it can be a nice analogy, in the brand new 'The Bible: Kindergarten Edition', a lovely way to say that basically men can go pimping all they want (but always with a different woman, got to have variety, aye?), but a woman cannot have the same freedom. And if some smart boy/girl points out how the analogy is flawed, will it raise the collective IQ? No. Because it doesn't work with adults, either, apparently. >> Stops being funny after a second.

Are you serious?

Try a geology textbook.

Finn McCool (Fionn mac Cumhail) an Irish Giant lived on an Antrim headland and one day when going about his daily business a Scottish Giant named Fingal began to shout insults and hurl abuse from across the channel. In anger Finn lifted a clod of earth and threw it at the giant as a challenge, the earth landed in the sea.

Fingal retaliated with a rock thrown back at Finn and shouted that Finn was lucky that he wasn't a strong swimmer or he would have made sure he could never fight again.

Finn was enraged and began lifting huge clumps of earth from the shore, throwing them so as to make a pathway for the Scottish giant to come and face him. However by the time he finished making the crossing he had not slept for a week and so instead devised a cunning plan to fool the Scot.

Finn diguised himself as a baby in a cot and when his adversary came to face him Finn's wife told the Giant that Finn was away but showed him his son sleeping in the cradle. The Scottish giant became apprehensive, for if the son was so huge, what size would the father be?

In his haste to escape Fingal sped back along the causeway Finn had built, tearing it up as he went. He is said to have fled to a cave on Staffa which is to this day named 'Fingal's Cave'.

Other versions of the legend include Finn throwing a huge piece of earth which then became the Isle Of Man and the hole which it left behind became Lough Neagh.
