Hang on! We know where Oz is located! It's that unremarkable smudge on the arse-end of the world! Big Grin

Next up, where might Oz be located? Is it near the land of Narnia?


If you think christainity has left parts of his brain undemolished, it's only because you have not heard him talk enough.

But we don't want to know what the yellow brick road is made of.

Well if god is going to set up his kingdom on earth the logical place to put it would be Australia.

Just be wary of the drop bears.

You guys are aware that 'we' (meaning followers of Christ) aren't technically going to heaven right? After this age according to John's work in revelation God will wipe away the current Heaven and the current Earth, and start over. Heaven being the city or residence of God Himself. and the "New Earth." Is what you all have been referring to as 'heaven' your whole lives.

Would any of you like to see what the bible actually says about any of this? Or are you stuck on your current understanding of 'heaven' just like you are stuck on your current understanding of God? In that you have no room in your minds about anything God that you don't already think you know.

Drich, your church (according to the website) believes that the bible is the inerrant word of god. How do you explain errors in it?

via the hilarious parable of "Monkey Man with a Soul" Tino..........Wink Shades

(he doubles down on his fantasies, when the world outside the narrative isn't magical enough he manufactures a few more miracles until it seems to fit)
I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!
