So you believe that you are traveling on a spinning satellite through space at the rate of how many miles per second, and how many miles pr second do you believe it is also moving around the sun in a yearly orbit?
Do you honestly believe gods temple is on the sun and that he sits there??

You are aware that the early primitives were Sun worshipers aren't you?? If you're not....I suggest you do a study on that FACT so that you, at the very least, can become just a little bit educated about the verses you are spouting. Then next head to the science section of your local library because you obviously don't have any knowledge in that area whatsoever...this is 4th grade knowledge that you should have learned about the earth in school.

I'm with you on that one....I am absolutely dumbfounded by this OP. I always knew that some xtians discounted alot of science simply because it disagreed with their primitive book but I've never encountered anyone that was/is this extreme, especially given the FACTS we know and have emperical evidence for.

As usual, I am amused by YSM. I'm still not convinced she is serious however. She plays the part of an enthusiastic, wild-eyed believer a little too well.

She claims extensive knowledge of the Book of Enoch, among other apochryphal books, and has obviously "researched" plenty of websites and knows how to post links.

But then here comes this little gem from a post of hers talking about her husband and numbers...

Really? Something he calls balancing? An odd phrase, and she puts the word in quotes to make sure we get it. Sounds quite a bit like someone who is intentionally playing the part of a supreme idiot. Well done though.

I think someone needs to go outside, spin around about 20 times and then stop. The simple lesson from observation that CAN be learned could be understood by a child of two.

Default Understandable though

Some of us, unable to get out and do meaningful community work, simply sit about on C-D endlessly typing the ends off our fingers to amuse ourselves, avoid mental decay and irritate others. YSM has obviously hit on the magic formula to achieve what so many fundy Christians secretly aspire to:

Being effective in irritating atheists, for which they may get Brownie Points at the Pearly Gates.

Sorta like going after Frequent Guest Points at Marriott.

A truly Christian aspiration, I'd agree. Shows they're far more fallible than we evil atheists!

Becauise, as you have all correctly observed, she's way too far out there to be real.

Oh, com'on rifle...you are just as intrigued with her posts as the rest.

Astron1000 seems to catch the same POE vibe I mentioned...and even gleaned some "evidence" for it. It does make sense...who wouldn't know what "balancing" a checkbook was?

If she really is a POE...I must hang my head and realize that I have a lot to learn...and a very long way to go. Much like the way I thought I was really good a being snarky...until I read Rafius' stuff (his "fluffy white clouds, rainbows, and little bunny rabbits" stuff...the purest of true snark) and saw my deficiencies.

Oh well...we all have to start somewhere...at least I can now observe the work of masters of those "thorn-in-the-side" disciplines, to aid my development.

Didn't you ever read the true story by Clarence Day [JR], "Life With Father"?, or see the movie? If not, then you missed a glimpse into the life of a man who loves numbers and records, married to a woman who could not care less about numbers, and the humor of living together as opposites.
-And ask my husband about my "balancing" of the checkbook -a horrid affair..... I never go there, and he dares not ask me to -anymore

There were no primitives but those people displaced by wars and other calamities. Some wars were atomic, as the Mahabharata proves- after the flood.
Lot dwelt in the affluent city of Sodom, which was drowning in luxuries, but after YHWH nuked it, Lot became a cave dweller.
Adam, our first father, was created with a complete scientific language, programmed into his hardware [brain], and had daily fellowship with YHWH; who visited him in the Person of the Word. They used to walk together, in the cool of the evening, before he was cast out of the Garden of Eden.

Enoch wrote the true book of cosmology, before the flood. The angel, Uriel, who was in charge of the "luminaries", showed Enoch everything to write down, about the heavens and all the host of them.

You know, you're not as dumb as you're making us think you are, it's really easy to sit back and play the ignorant Christian but that can only last for so long and right about now your little game is finished, so enjoy your little chuckle now because nobody else is going to believe you are that dumb and ignorant. No one is going to take the bait...
