Nope, it's just a normal lamp. It's really far away.

I asked a fundamentalist who I used to play an online game with (I was in his clan) once; "If God created the world and humans and knows exactly whats going to happen...he must have known adam was going to eat from the forbidden tree and fail the test so why did he bother putting the tree there at all? To 'make sure' adam would fail the test? If he knows everything he wouldn't need to!"

The reply I got was something like: "We can't truly know what God wants or needs or what he has in store for us... we must trust that he knows what he's doing."


What? despite the fact none of it makes any sense and there's no evidence for any of it? And there's so many contradictions!

Also this same person's brother; I observed told lots of lies so I said:"I thought the bible says you shouldn't lie"

He replied "I'm not lying I'm exaggerating."

LMFAO

Yeah, "God works in mysterious ways" is an attempted argument that pops up nearly everywhere.
