Re: Bill Cockman
In regards to the biblical account of the flood or anything else for that
matter, I seldom take the words of the bible literally. First of all many
of the stories therein were handed down for centuries by word of mouth before
they were written down. Second it is not entirely clear whether these words
were meant to be taken literally or figuratively or whether they have been
translated in the same sense or spirit as they were meant. Even
Re: Bill Cockman
And it isnt the flood that is the amazing thing. Many of the things in the
bible may have been from natural events. The amazing thing is this story
of building an arc. How did Noah know there was going to be a flood. Now
of course this is supposing the ark even exists. But just about every religion
has this same story. I wouldn't be surprised if it was in part based on
some ancient fact, but as to

I thought it was a joke, only a moron would present the argument

Catholic Fundies: Justify evil [1/2]
I observe that your "reasonable" estimates are in the
extreme low range; whereas the 9 million is the highest estimate
that ever seems to have been given. Since it seems that one judge
alone may have been responsible for 25,000 victims, the 200,000
figure seems low.
I recently went over this same ground with Steve Hayes,
and have no real desire to again.

I have an editorial cartoon in front of me, done by Ed Stein '96
It's a kid and his mother in a library surrounded by shelves of
books.
The expression on the kids face is wonderment. The Caption is
"It's a library, honey-- kind of an early version of the world
wide web."
It's originally published in the Rocky Mtn. News.nea

Are you a moron, or do you have some kind of reading problem?
Are you a sufferer of attention deficit disorder? Do you have
a learning disability?
We are not writing about Noah and his flood. Can you understand
that. We are writing about Utnapishnu, and the story of his flood
contained in the epic of Gilgamesh.
Some are trying to drag Noah and his flood into the topic, but
that is not the basis of this thread. The basis

The Moral of Sumerian mythology
Here is the key. I am talking about a specific mythological archetype,
not all of them. If you don't like the subject or you don't have the
attention span to participate in my discussion feel free to disengage.
I know the story. Try reading it before you base an argument on
it.
Read this slowly. When was my God a topic? The topic again was the

He will never do that! He wants you to buy the garbage from the ICR. They
need the money to in order to fabricate more dishonest tapes. Like the video

Aboriginal Flood Story.
He claimed that the genesis flood has been debunked. Unless you can provide
an independent source which says the same thing, then everything claimed
in the genesis flood should be taken with a strong pinch of salt.

The plague first swept through the Middle East, Asia and Europe in the
sixth century, killing an estimated 100 million. Witch executions didn't
become a major fad until the fifteenth century, and had pretty much died
off (if you'll pardon the pun) by the eighteenth century.

He may just have the wrong size. At Mitchell Bros., on O'Farrell
St. in SF, they had a glass case with about twenty neatly
graduated buttplug sizes, from a demure little two-inch binkie to
a massive 8" x 2" dia. tool. I was with a couple of friends who
immediately started singing "how much for that buttplug in the
window..."
