Apart from copyright infringements and the competition for the tourist $$$ why would you want to??

I am thinking padawan that you are confusing want with can Wink Shades

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.

Thanks for replying. It still doesn't bring me much closer to understanding your beliefs, but ta anyway.

Quote:Primative you say then why is it we can not build a pyramid or a temple like Solomen's. We can not even lay out the base of these structures as accurately as they did so who's primative.
As for your statements about the scriptures you know them no better than superstarr so why do you even try. I have no intrest in kali, unicorns or underpants gnomes.

Go on keep track of your daily horoscope and live by it see where that leads you.
I've never said the Bible is evidence that God exist, I said that God has shown me that the Bible is His true word. Xyster I'm not here to try to prove God to you or to disprove any of the lame characters you purpose.

Is there any evidence that we can't construct a pyramid? Surely with today's construction techniques, it would be fairly easy. Of course, it would be a lot slower, 'cos instead of slaves, we'd have overweight builders with prominent arse-cracks who need to have a cup of tea every ten minutes. (Actually, the pyramids weren't built by slaves, but by volunteers wanting to get a good afterlife. It just shows what people are prepared to do when they shoot up on the opiate that is religion).

As for your lack of interest in Kali, unicorn and underpants gnomes (whatever they are)... aren't we entitled to a lack of interest in Yahweh? At least if he just wore underpants he'd be interesting. He'd be relatable, if he were just some overweight guy sitting in his undies, scratching his omnipresent balls and eating crisps. Big Grin

You're confusing the God of the Bible with Budda and since Budda is dead he's not much of a god. Yes you have ever right to have no interest in the God of the Bible He's the one who has given all mankind that right.

Psychiatric treatment may be able to help that condition.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Schizophrenia

Quote:Depending on the individual, a person diagnosed with schizophrenia may experience hallucinations (most commonly hearing voices), delusions (often bizarre or persecutory in nature), and disorganized thinking and speech. The latter may range from loss of train of thought, to sentences only loosely connected in meaning, to incoherence known as word salad in severe cases. There is often an observable pattern of emotional difficulty, for example lack of responsiveness or motivation. Impairment in social cognition is associated with schizophrenia, as are symptoms of paranoia, and social isolation commonly occurs. In one uncommon subtype, the person may be largely mute, remain motionless in bizarre postures, or exhibit purposeless agitation; these are signs of catatonia.

Late adolescence and early adulthood are peak years for the onset of schizophrenia.

You should be tested.

You should take your act on the road your a real comedian there Min a real comedian.
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.
