The problem with the bible ...
|
Tangent:
Pardon my ignorance,but where/what/who is an Ann Arbor? The name suggests a bunch of things,EG the name of a founding mother,so perhaps new England,a place where they grow a lot of trees,so California, a typical American version of something which began as English,'an harbour,' perhaps New York, or it could just be his mum's name. For those laughing at my ignorance; try to find MY city,Adelaide,(South Australia) on a map. Could be a challenge,most Americans think Australia is part of Europe.

Pad - Ann Arbor is in Michigan.
The problem with the bible,is that people take it literally,the bible teaches some nice stuff like be nice to your close ones,respect,love,brotherhood.... but when you start to talk about god and supernatural beings you screw everything up.

Ah,Ta. I've heard of it,but can't remember the context. Is it on or near a lake? [/quote] Home town of the University of Michigan. There are signs in Columbus, Ohio (The Ohio State University) that read, "Flush twice, it's a long way to Ann Arbor". ![[Image: microweb-tp.jpg]](https://images.weserv.nl/?url=www.conrads.com%2Fprodimg%2Fmicroweb-tp.jpg)

Ouch!
It's like the old joke (not mine and I've no idea who created it) about not being allowed to emigrate to Australia if you have a criminal record; at one time that was the only way to get there... Please don't hit me..!
At the age of five, Skagra decided emphatically that God did not exist. This revelation tends to make most people in the universe who have it react in one of two ways - with relief or with despair. Only Skagra responded to it by thinking, 'Wait a second. That means there's a situation vacant.'

[/quote] Please give us the source of your statement that most Americans think Australia is a part of Europe. I have no reason to believe that is any more true than the statement "gods exist". |
