Worst flood of all times...
2007-08-04, 10:04 AM #1

I don't know why some people are calling this the beginning of the end, among them my father, but its still creepy...
Nothing to see here, move along.

You know... this has happened before. Only a handful of people survived it.

I was under the impression that it was a world wide flood... which apparently a lot of people love the idea that it never happened, or that its a twisted legend. Therefore I'm calling this, the worst flood of all times, because, they don't believe in the greater flood that I do. Therefore, we have reached a middle ground.

Well, If it is of any significance to you, I believe in the biblical flood.

I think there is good reason to believe that a flood really happened that inspired the many similar legends during ancient times. It was world-wide in that it covered the "known" world.
2007-08-04, 10:44 AM #6
there is good evidence to suggest that cataclysmic floods happened all around the world in a relatively short timespan that these legends spring from.

We ARE NOT DISCUSSING THIS. Thats not the purpose to this thread, and that will derail into a flame war, since Massassi never can stay civilized in significant discussions.

Because they're, at least in this case, slightly irrational and prone to hyperbole, perhaps. Not a big deal, don't be creeped out :P

Well these people are usually well behaved, contrary to those who don't believe in such things at all. Big difference.

You missed the point of my post entirely and are therefore a doo-doo head.

SF_GoldG_01 contended that the retardedly hyper-religious are more reasonable than atheists. I was stating that it is trivial to prove this point false. Don't get me wrong: militant atheists aren't reasonable either, but people like SF_GoldG_01 who think that religious **** don't stink should be sterilized.

Not that it matters a lot, SF_GoldG_01 is only religious because he's too poor to see the world and too lazy to come up with his own ideas about it.

Meh, okay. This has been a pretty confusing thread.

Keep cool, boy.

Committed by atheist politicos. It's just a pet peeve of mine when people act like - as Jon might put it - some atheist's **** doesn't stink as much as some religious people.

Right, but blaming those events on the fact that the leaders were atheist is like blaming the war in Iraq on the fact that Bush is christian. Atheism played minor roles (albeit, a slightly larger one in the French Revolution) for those genocides, while things like the crusade were done under a religious/christian flag.

(I'm not saying atheists do no wrong, I just wanted to point out that politics rather than religion (or sometimes the politics of religion) sparked those events.)

Edit: (We could go into the fact that many of the religious genocides were done for political reasons hidden by a religious veil as well...)

There's an issue of Sandman where an immortal man visits the same pub/inn every 100 years to meet with Morpheus. On each of the visits, some of the background conversation in the bar is shown. And in almost every visit, they're discussing the end of times. Oh sure there are different causes: plagues, military conquests, inclement weather; but they're always saying "The end must surely be at hand!"

So yeah, people have been saying the world is ending for like, ever.

Even with Jesus, the reason the gospels weren't written for 70-150 years later was because they thought the end of times was nigh. But after a while they were like, oh ****, the world's not ending we should write this crap down.

If Ontario is God's chosen people, I'm dropping atheism like a bible on fire.

I'll go full satanist. Sacrificing babies, drinking bat pee, and listening to Marylin Manson. (That's what they do, right?)

Well, my religious views view the crusades and all other religious scandals as ungodly and actions unbecoming of a true Christian, just because some major religion messed things up along time, doesn't mean we like it, or that other religions go along with it. There was nothing godly or truly Christian in the crusades, that was men, using religion as a shield for their stuff. Today muslins extremists do it, and corrupt catholic fathers, and other religions where individuals or groups prove false to god. The beauty is, the bible said these things would happen thousands of years before they did, and wow, guess what, they do.

EDIT: In fact, my OWN religious views approve of no current war, as war is what we are too learn no more, and our struggle is spiritual, not with men. How ever, the TRUE Christians, as some of you call them, just don't seem to get the message. Even when its written on every bible ever printed.
Nothing to see here, move along.
