Min , I guess that disqualifies me . I'm 56. So , what now ? Actually , the way I see it , you 're the one that needs some type of help. My reason for saying this is that you 're trying to play doctor . That's just plain nuts.
That's a lot of "I have no idea how to write properly." for someone as old as you are. You've been a schizophrenic for some time, huh?

I'd have to go back and check but didn't you tell us you were 16?
You write like a 16 year old which is why I doubt your story.

You're 56, nah, you're just a liar. Go and take a photo of yourself holding up a piece of paper containing the following characters:

Then i'll believe you.

Really. So if the book isn't suppose to have a literal meaning(as in having meaning to reality), then please tell me how to EXACTLY read it "perfectly." And don't say that I know nothing about the scriptures, because
1. I use to believe that the bible was perfect like you said (that was foolish of me)
2. YOU know nothing about the scriptures since you don't understand what the bible was written about.

The bible is a book of myths and folklore and falsified history to accommodate the myths it refers to. There is nothing divine about it.

What gives you the right to judge me as a liar, that is a false accusation, as a christian I'm not going to lie about anything. You are simply a person of no respect for anyone. Try and mature some it might make you a pleasant person some day.

I'm certainly glad that the greatest fault you find in me is that I'm not an adequate writer. Yes I'm absolutely nuts and the doctors here at the crazy farm do not know I have this computer please do not tell them!!! They will take away my desserts for a month!!!

Wish I was 16 again the aches and pains of age sure make life more difficult. Your right my writting does leave alot to be desired however I do not let that keep me from expressing my opinion. By the way I've never given my age before this so don't waste your time looking. Doubt me a pure nut case why Min that's not very nice for a older gent to do thought all those years of experiance would have taught you better.
God loves those who believe and those who do not and the same goes for me, you have no choice in this matter. That puts the matter of total free will to rest.

I have a friend with schizophrenia & she describes her episodes / symptoms very similarly to what you are describing above, except with cartoon characters.
You may want to go talk to a psychiatrist.

Someone lied to you & it's becoming hilarious.
Ever heard of the Great Wall of China? Three Gorges Dam? Hell, the Hoover Dam? They are making man made *islands* in Dubai & Japan. All of these are much, much bigger engineering projects than the pyramids.

Nope structural engineers have stated that we (modern man) do not have the ability,even with all our technology, to lay out the base of the pyrimids as accurately as the Egyptians did.
travis Wrote:1. Please provde citation for claims dealing with assertions of structural engineers.
2. You're absolutely fucking insane if you think that modern man doesn't have the ability to effectively put a bunch of big rocks in a pile in such a way that is consistent. The reason we don't rebuild pyramids is because there's no need for such structures. We tend to construct buildings that are efficient, both in manpower and materials, not huge stone monuments set aside for the burials of Gods among men.
Check these out for some concise rebuttals to your catasrophe of an argument:

Not only could we do it, we could do a far better job than those living thousands of years ago.
I have yet to see any structure made in the Stone or Bronze Age that rivals the intricacy, precision, or attention to detail of any major structure built today.
I'm not going through all my books and research to find that statement if you don't accept my word about it then, if you are interested, you'll need to do your own research. I did not say that we need to rebuild the pyramids all I stated is that we can not build them with the accuracy that the Eygptians obtained. I've been in the building trades for many years and I still have not seen a house built that was truely square and I've been associated with some very creditable builders. I've yet to see stone work by modern man that's so precise that you can not slip a piece of paper between the stones even after a thousand years. All those beautiful buildings you posted will not be standing in 3000 years.

Ok, I could have you confused with someone else. After a while all you jesus freaks sound alike anyway.
Of course, all that means is that Shell is right. You've been hearing voices and therefore have been crazy as a fucking loon for a much longer time. At 56 there is probably no hope for you.
So you believe in an all-powerful god who takes time to speak to you privately? Pure human egotism run amok. Why don't you ask for some stock market tips or something useful?
