Im Christian, why arent you?

[Mathalamus]

my girlfriend and i are diffrent, for example she wants me to go to church every wendsday, i dont want to sso she forces me to go

[Siris]

Lol the voices in your head get mad at you and make you do things.

[Mathalamus]

she also has my spine. but even without it im still more powerful than all of you.

This has exactly what to do with being Christian Math?Going to Church is like punching a bus tickett to show you traveled.If you were not active in the service IMO it is pointless.

Show you worship with your LIFE...NOT how many time you parked your ass on Reverend so-n-so's bench.

[Mathalamus]

well aislinn disagrees, if i dont go to the church i might as well not belive in the faith, she refuses to belive that faith alone is quite enough for me

[Pamela]

Does Aislin lead you around by your genetalia? Or...is your genetalia dictating what you do in hopes of compensation?

[Siris]

Besides why are you letting her tell you what to do? I know you're not getting pussy out of it.

[Mathalamus]

its just how i do things now. in the past i did that but at great cost. now i cant afford to stick up for myself as of now.

[wazzacky]

lets get back on topic i think. No more math relationship problems.

Why the hell did christianity And still does think rock n roll was the devils music. Its garbage. I do admit black metal and all the hardcore stuff does sound like crap. But things like black sabbath...comon.

I've pretty much avoided this thread for quite some time, but just now, it made me think for a while. I come from a pretty devout family. My grandmother attends church every sunday and sometimes on tuesday( not saying that church defines how holy a person is ). My mother and the rest of my family were, or all are Christian, with the exception of my step father. Growing up as a child I used to go to Church on Sundays and go to Sunday school. I believed in God, and Jesus, and Heaven and Hell. I was, in my eyes, a good Christian child. Then about at the age of 16 I kind of began to believe that it was a fairy tale...
I just didn't think somethings were possible.
I didn't beleive in the whole earth being flooded, my reason of thinking lead me to the conclusion if the Earth really did flood we would of found fossils or other types of evidence, from other parts of the world were they dont belong. Just like in the Pancrea or w/e its called when all the continents were one.
Then I questioned Noahs Arc itself. I didn't see how a single old man could build a giant ship to hold every animalx2. There has to be THOUSANDS of animals, he first had to gather them, and gather their food, and have a Arc the size of Texas, then he would have to get them inside the Arc, stop them from eatting each other.. etc you get the idea. So lets say he does all of that, how does he clean after them? how does he feed them? Just all of these things kept running through my head and it "broke" my faith that I once had growing up.

It bothers my sometimes because, I now... am confused with myself. I agree with somethings in the Bible and somethings I can't bite my tongue on.

I believe it will come to me sooner or later, just thought I would share....

Remember, this is Math, he doesn't have genetalia. >.>

Also, what's the point of going to church, when all they do these days is ask for money, money, and more money? You realize that the preacher and his household live off of the churches funds?

[Mathalamus]

Noah's ark is an impressive bit of engineering. the bible says that its half the size of the titanic (they showed cubits which i translated to meters) i think they can hold every animal in here. and plus they could have dumped shit to the water. there was nothing but water...

water, over time dissolves bones so the fossil argument is invalid, there was a bunch of food available, and not believing in your faith over one thing seems pretty silly to me.

Heres one thing to think about. how did he manage to grab the yeti crab?Only found 2,200 meters below the ocean. Its impossible for any human to go down a fraction of that. There are no machines that house humans that can even withstand that pressure now a days. Did he just forget it? well thats not every animal now.

That's only about 7k feet...what's so impossible about that? Pearl divers in Cuba do that nearly all the time. >.>

[Mathalamus]

obviously they didnt get it. plus they probely only moved the major species to that ark. insects are ingored.

[Siris]

You do realize not all animals were 2 of?? Some of them were 7 of each animals. And I think it wasn't that big.. I could look up the demensions thou...

[Mathalamus]

the Ark would have had a gross volume of about 1.5 million cubic feet (40,000 m³), a displacement a little less than half that of the Titanic at about 22,000 tons, and total floor space of around 100,000 square feet (9,300 m²).

...you can fit 2 of every animal plus sluppies to last a long time.

hey how do you calculate volume again? its been so long since i took math and i SERIOULY doubt that a galaxy class ship (as a comparasion) has 59 million sqare meters.

[Siris]

The lenth of the ark shall be 300 cubits, its width 50 cubits, and its height 30 cubits.

Straight from my bible.

A cubit is about 18" so... That's 450' (l) X 75' (w) X 45' (h).

So the volume is 1,518,750 cubic ft. There were also 3 floors.

[Mathalamus]

...ill just leave the math to you smart people.

where the hell do u pull up that assumption. Heres some information for you. water pressure increases by 2 atmoshperes (in other words our average air pressure) every 10m. I dunno maybe thats 15 feet.

Its ABSOLUTLY IMPOSSIBLE. You would be crushed into a bloody ball that size of a bowling ball because of that pressure. Pearl divers i belive only dive up to a maximum of 30 feet. Now how is that 7000 feet!? Like (and i mean to insult) how you even thought that was sensible is bewildering, i feel your motive was to insult me or flame me more than to get the info right. . You know large that length is!? almost 2.2 Km. That is 1/4 the height of mount everest. It'd take like 2 days to hike that atleast. How could a pearl diver (and they never use breathing equipment otherwise they wouldn't be pearl divers) dive 7000 feet, not get crushed and survive not breathing air for like 2 days.
