And as nobody else has said it - Hope you have a whale of a time here - ok that was lame.
Not sure whether you have done so, but I highly recommend you really read the bible from cover to cover. Their own book is the best ammunition you can have against them if they start trying to ram religion down your throat. I also recommend http://www.skepticsannotatedbible.com/ as a good resource for spotting the real stupidity in the bible.
Many thanks! =) I actually have friends IRL from Moscow. I absolutely love the Skeptic's Annotated Bible; I've made good use of it when I'm trying to locate blatant contradictions in the Bible.
Quote:I was 11 and sitting there listening to her drone on about jesus-this and jesus-that. I wasn't too interested but that was nothing new. The girl sitting next to me who I knew slightly from school was crying and about a half hour in this nun finally noticed. She asked what was wrong and the kid said that her dog had died the night before. The nun said she was sorry to hear that. Then the kid asked if she'd see her dog in heaven and the nun said that "heaven is not for dogs."
That nun sounds a lot like my ninth grade Bible teacher at school! He was a real douchebag; then again, he was a former Baptist preacher. lol!
