"The bible test" Answered.
RE: "The bible test" Answered.
Fundies got no sense of literary genre. I'm pretty sure that the author of Jonah intended it as a fable rather than miraculous history. But it got stuck in that book with the black covers.
If you could reason with religious people, there would be no religious people — House

How is this falsifiable? How is a Puzzle falsifiable?

Do you intentionally keep this vague so nobody can ever discredit you, or is it just a consequence of the general vagueness of those religious practices within your bible that still "work?"

Actually it is simple. If you do it and nothing happens then the bible is false. Come on now drich, what is it exactly that someone must do in order to follow a/s/k. You outline it and I will do it.
To-morrow, and to-morrow, and to-morrow,
Creeps in this petty pace from day to day,
To the last syllable of recorded time;
And all our yesterdays have lighted fools
The way to dusty death. Out, out, brief candle!
Life's but a walking shadow, a poor player,
That struts and frets his hour upon the stage,
And then is heard no more. It is a tale
Told by an idiot, full of sound and fury,
Signifying nothing.

Lemon, you know you're wrong right? It doesn't work like that.

If you do it and nothing happens you weren't A/S/King hard enough.
If you were A/S/King really hard and nothing happens, you don't have enough faith.
If you have enough faith and nothing happens, you didn't believe hard enough.
If you have faith and belief and were really A/S/King and nothing still happens, well then Jehovah obviously has some other mysterious plan for you, and who are we to question Jehovah?

Checkmate Lemon!
