Just when you think you've reached the outer limits of weird eating, someone has to mention the Japanese.

I wonder if Jesus went to Japan on his way to America.

It would both explain and confuse much, I reckon.


ETA: I should probably point out that I photoshopped that picture and it was originally just a plain old box of potato chips, sans the camel and the suspiciously un-Japanese name. I think I originally meant them to be an accompaniment to a slice or two of delicious Aberhaten's Pizza.

 

[pakeha]

Ah.
Here's an unphotoshopped Japanese culinary delight


Yes, that maple leaf means it comes with maple syrup.
My birthday greetings are in the DOC thread

The original image (hurray for Google image search!) says "Chips" in Engrish anyway, so you really only changed the microwave into a camel. Yes, it's really a... microwave chip-making kit. I don't even...

Are you truly unable to see how contradictory these two bits of nonsense are?

As you are well aware.... did not "happen to fulfil prophecy"... is refuting and in response to poblob14 's wording "happened to fulfil a prophecy of Jeremiah?.

 

[Slowvehicle]

My humble thanks.

Happy birthday, Mighty One (may you post forever)!

 

[Sideroxylon]

Better yet . . .





Yes, and you are in so much twubble.

What I'm well aware of is that I've been involved in more discussions in this Forum seeking evidence of fulfilled biblical prophecies than I've had hot breakfasts and so far there's not a single jot or tittle to be shown for it.

Will you be attempting to alter this ignominious record any time soon or do you prefer to stick with the projectile preaching?

How sad is it that a ten-year-old child almost anywhere in the western world and in most parts of the rest of it would respond to your post with "Don't be silly, it's Anubis!" and yet the diehard LDS cultists cling to Smith's bizarre fabrication?

 

[Pup]

Look, Janadele. Here's what you should say:

You're very right, Smith's translation does not match that of Egyptologists. We believe the translation itself was an inspired act, and what Smith wrote is true, Truth actually, on a deeply spiritual level. More importantly, it was exactly what was needed at the time to establish God's Kingdom here on Earth. We believe the lessons contained in the BoA are just as relevant today, and thus - regardless of historical origin - hold it in the highest theological regard.

What I don't get about religion is the difference between being told I'd have to believe the above, and being told as Janadele does that I'd have to believe something blatantly contradictory to readily available evidence.

Beelzebuddy's propose paragraph above doesn't do anything positive for me emotionally, but I could see that if it did and such emotion was really important to me, it's something I could believe. That's pretty much how Cat Tail and I can get along. There are things that are important to me too, that don't do anything for her, but she recognizes that they mean something to me.

But I simply can't see how or why a person could or would want to convince themselves to ignore actual evidence. It would just be impossible for me. I feel like I'd have to be insane or something.

Not sure my point. I guess that there are different levels of religion and faith, and it takes a different kind of person to close their minds to such an extent that they can deny the obvious.

Akhenaten, I do not believe you are "seeking evidence"... to the contrary in fact. The list of fulfilled prophecies is innumerable. But I have no intention of wasting my time researching them for you. You can find them easily enough, if you wish to do so.

Just as an aside, on State Route 21, just north of Ontario County Road 19, there is a large billboard advertising The Hill Cumorah Pageant. The billboard has been blown over(multiple times), destroyed by trees falling on it(multiple times), and, IIRC, struck by lightning. Each of these occurrences has necessitated replacement. The current incarnation is backed by 4 telephone poles making it nearly indestructible. I wonder how god will destroy it next?


Happy birthday Pharaoh!

 

[Janadele]

The Hill Cumorah Pageant is a wonderful inspirational event... inspired of God.

I'm hiding evidence?

The list of fulfilled prophecies is innumerable.

Of course it is.

How about if you just post your top 50 and we'll work our way through that?

But I have no intention of wasting my time researching them for you.

Then why are you here? Hoping your bare assertions and vapid preaching will convert us all?

GLWT

You can find them easily enough, if you wish to do so.

Well that's the whole point, really.

I have no wish (or indeed the means) to try and substantiate the fantasmagorical claims of bleevers in either the original christian fairytale or Joseph Smith's comic book version threrof.

Your claim, your onus.

Do or do not.

Yeah, because God decided He needed a little dinner theater drama to celebrate an insignificant shyster's greatest scam at some insignificant dung heap in the over 14 billion light-year radius sphere we call the universe.

Well, it's not much, but we call it home.

Pffft.

Friendly and lively way.... LOL

 

[poblob14]

Herod acted on his own evil intent, which fulfilled prophecy, but did not, as poblob has incorrectly indicated, "happen to fulfil a prophecy"

"Respecting the foreknowledge of God, let it not be said that divine omniscience is of itself a determining cause whereby events are inevitably brought to pass... Our Heavenly Father has a full knowledge of the nature and disposition of each of His children, a knowledge gained by long observation and experience in the past eternity of our primeval childhood;

So, since God knew this was going to happen (and presumably other things, such as the Our Lady of Angels fire), and did nothing to stop it, is he:

1) Powerless to stop such things, and therefore not all-powerful?
or
2) Unwilling to stop such things, and therefore evil?

 

[Janadele]

Certainly not the 2nd Prolob.

This has all been addressed previously but I can do so again if necessary.

 

[Akhenaten]

Or you can just forego that, set up a little cyber soap box and preach mindlessly at people.

The good thing about having bleevers come here and do this is that their efforts tend to do most of sceptics work for them.

The downside is it's hard to do a decent parody of such banality, but some of us enjoy the challenge so it's all good in the end.
