    Mars is inhabited.

    As I said before you cannot use facts, reason, physics, chemistry, etc on religious people. Otherwise there wouldn't BE any religious people. lol Addendum: it also doesn't work on trolls like eannassir, obviously. They simply do this to annoy you.

    How the GW myth is perpetuated

    Well anyway, my point is that at the rate human population is growing, the rate we are messing up the planet, plus climate change effects, and whatever else, biodiversity is going down the crapper. This will severely limit possibilities for the future. Look at the thing about China's...

    Trying my hand at pickling

    I relayed your thanks to my girl, as she is the one who screeched the recipe at me from the kitchen. :) She screeched back, "It's a pleasure". lol She doesn't really screech, I just say that she does. hehehe Um, what I meant by cure pickling was that we make the brine and then just put the...

    The earthquakes that follow the total solar eclipse.

    As I said, the way to find out is to research and see if there is a corelation. Cutting and pasting from your book of myth is not the way. The only ones who would believe your idea would be those like you; the irrational.[/FONT][/SIZE][/FONT][/LEFT] [LEFT] As I tell people about the Bible...

    The earthquakes that follow the total solar eclipse.

    lol Maybe to you everything is a miracle. To me and quite a few others, things are natural phenomena. No mysticism and superstition involved. Some things may be wondrous, such as the birth of a child or foal or tortoise, but hardly miraculous. These processes are easily explained. What does seem...

    The earthquakes that follow the total solar eclipse.

    Judging by his reply with the inevitable cut and paste from his book of myth, the answer would be, "no, he can't".

    Trying my hand at pickling

    Most things we pickle are cooked lightly and then boiled juice is poured over them and sealed. Some things we cure pickle, garlic being one of them. This is the basic recipe we use: 1 lb. carrots (or beets, or ....) 3/4 c. vinegar 3/4 c. water 1/4 c. sugar 1 tsp. spices Slice the carrots...

    Lester, rational arguments don't work on religious people. Otherwise there would BE no religious people.

    The earthquakes that follow the total solar eclipse.

    Whatever. If you want to be taken seriously about solar eclipses causing earthquakes you better start digging up data and coalescing it into a legible and lucid report. Digging quotes from your book of myth doesn't cut it. Actually, if you want to be taken seriously, quit quoting the silly book...

    Mars is inhabited.

    <------- = complete nonsense Yes it would be obvious. They would have a different view of a lifeless, frozen surface with very little atmosphere than they have from ground level or orbit. Idiot; a satellite orbitting Earth has clear resolution to within a couple meters and Earth has an...

    The earthquakes that follow the total solar eclipse.

    Make up your mind. In one post you say buildings are more important and in this post you say they aren't. Nah, according to your book, the Bible, etc. these gods are all sociopathic mass mirderers. The trouble with just about every faith I've ever heard of is that they ASSume that...

    The earthquakes that follow the total solar eclipse.

    They don't pay attention to them as miracles. They wisely pay attention to them as natural phenomena. What really IS a miracle that normally intelligent people get extremely irrational about mythical and fictitious tales of superstitious claptrap.

    rofl if someone told him water was wet he'd have to look it up in the Qoran to make sure they weren't lying. lol And even then he would say they were because all he sees is QURAN. I call it pinhole vision.

    The earthquakes that follow the total solar eclipse.

    Yeah, everyone knows there was a quake in Turkey and people died and were mangled and other people helped out. Big deal. ABut, again nothing to support your claims? All you have is your book of fiction and your highly imaginative interpretations of it? It isn't enough.

    I know lots of faerie tales, too. Ever hear the one about the proselytising, bombastic, pontificating withdoctor? ;)

    Buildings are more important than people. Well, that's a barbaric and sociopathic attitude.[/FONT][/SIZE][/FONT] Key phrase there is "God guides not". You mean like your god has done (according to the holy books)?[/LEFT] Do you say that about the biggest serial killer of all (this god that...

    Very noble. Good idea that people should learn how to treat each other. But I have found one could tell people in a concise little pamphlet rather than subjecting them to large tomes of vague tales, ambiguities, and whatnot.[/FONT][/SIZE][/LEFT] [LEFT][SIZE=3][FONT=Times New Roman]

    The earthquakes that follow the total solar eclipse.

    Wow, two examples of solar eclipses and earthquakes in a close time period within a decade. As has been said, every week there are a number of earthquakes registering over 5. This and your other example are hardly proof of anything other than coincidence.

    What harm? How about wasting a lot of time thinking about what "Jesus would do", worrying about whether they'll go to the happy hunting grounds after they die, maoning prayers, etc. I say quit thinking and fussing about all that and enjoy THIS life.
