The Religion Thread

Generally an unmoderated forum for discussion of pretty much any topic. The focus however, is usually politics.

In a flood it might maintain enough buoyancy to rip free of the cement floor that makes up its bottom deck and holds the ribs of the ship in place. Before promptly sinking and falling apart.

Perhaps the "dinosaurs" can be used as flotation devices.

False.

Did you not learn about miracles in your physics class?

Maybe they intend it to be an underwater base, riding out the storm from below. This could explain the cement floor and pillars and building holding it down.

This way once the waters drop, it wouldn't be left sitting in Muslim territory like the last one.

And it solves the problem of crowds storming the boat when the waters begin to rise.

"So if I make it aboard I'm trapped in a submarine with thousands of animals, including all the big ones, and all their waste? No thanks; I'll just drown. I'm good."

This is where the miracle comes in: Dealing with the smell. And allergies.

There must have been. That saying "may the fleas of a thousand camels infest your armpits" had to have a meaningful beginning somewhere. :shock:

This is also how the legend of the golden fleas came to be.

Johnny Carson's Carmack character used the "fleas of a thousand camels..." line, also as "...rest in the crotch of he who spoils my life."
Probably not old enough to have been Ark-based, though.

From the original Arabic, maybe ...

Ahab the A-rab copyrighted that material about 4 thousand years before Ray Stevens discovered the writings buried under a golden chest in the Great Pyramid. The rest is history.

I think republicans descended from all the inbreeding after the water subsided.

Whereas Democrats already had a handle on inbreeding before the flood; hence the reason for the flood in the first place.
Republicans descended from the survivors; they merged and created Canadians.

The Anglican Church here just joined the United Church and other denominations in allowing same-sex marriages.

Previously while not performing same-sex marriages, the Anglican Church gave its blessing to them. The Anglican church in some other countries already allow it.

Woman who was driving while praying with her eyes closed hits house

Image
The woman told Okaloosa County Sheriff’s Office deputies she was praying at the time and had her eyes closed, according to the OCSO.

The Fort Walton Beach woman was traveling eastbound on Marcia Drive when she failed to stop at a stop sign, went through an intersection and into the yard of a home on Miramar Drive.
