Jesus fucking christ stimbo, my head would've exploded.
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!

Quote:Brassica nigra is a mustard plant that grows 8 to 10 feet tall and is probably the one
Um...
You'd think that 'god' would know which end is up, wouldn't you?
Quote:In Matthew 13:31-32, Jesus said that the mustard seed was “smaller than all other seeds,” but that when it was full grown, it would be large enough for birds to nest in its branches.
Today, we know that there are seeds even smaller than the mustard seed.
BTW, I got this from a xtian site.

Perhaps god could have told a better narrative here by referencing the distant and mythical oak, which grows from this lovely little seed. The people may not have known wtf he was talking about (in which case business as usual judging by the track record for knowledge and religion) but it would have been known to god, it's creator. Much more compelling as an analogy as well. What a wonderful moment when the faithful traveled to a distant land and discovered the tree exactly as it could have been described. Another one of those opportunities god, in his infinite wisdom, appears to have overlooked.

Great, no way to get life from non-life. God must be a living, breathing creature. (I'd worried that opening fire on a spirit god would be ineffective, but now I can be sure to at least due some damage when shit gets hot).

The hebrew word raqia means expanse, or something stretched, spread or beaten out. The modern translation was transliterated from another bad translation.

As I am sure you're well aware, Revelation uses a lot of symbolic language. It is thought to refer to the shaking of the powers of this world, casting down the so-called gods and goddesses, demi-gods, their idols etc down to the ground.

It's not meant to be taken literally. It's the same as someone saying, the sun rises and sets. It is an expression, which is used elsewhere in the bible, here referring to grain:
2 Kings 7:19
And that lord answered the man of God, and said, Now, behold, [if] the LORD should make windows in heaven, might such a thing be? And he said, Behold, thou shalt see it with thine eyes, but shalt not eat thereof.

Not the point; you asked me to provide references for the biblical facts I cited. I have done so. It's not my fault your holy book doesn't mean what it says it does. Your god should write more plainly - or rather its ghostwriters should.
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.'
