Have a good day!

But you are a very interesting person.

Take care,

I can also tell you all sorts of things about the cows in The Far Side.

Remember, Adam and Eve disobeyed God and told them what would happen. So it was their choice.

As it was the choice of the cow to reveal himself as the person who crashed the tractor, despite no one thinking a cow would do such a thing. Fiction is neat like that.

So what about prophecies we defiantly see the history.

I think you nailed it: you defiantly see prophecies. Despite all evidence to the contrary, all reasoning aside, you still cling to these stories as if they mean anything.

But the Bible also foretells for “the final age of this world” these things: “Nation will rise against nation and kingdom against kingdom, and there will be food shortages.”

Crikey, you’re right - the world’s never been at war (excluding the last two world wars, and all those other slow burn conflicts that have raged for years and decades elsewhere).

Food shortages? I suppose it depends on where you live. I have a full pantry, thanks. Starving kids in Africa haven’t for decades. Somewhere in the middle float millions of others. On the whole, though, the global standard of living is far beyond anything it has ever been (thanks to science, mind you, not religion).

In addition, “there will be great earthquakes, and in one place after another pestilences.”—Matthew 24:7; Luke 21:11. I think we are seeing those today.

Holy crap! You mean to tell me there were earthquakes in the midwest along a very known fault line? Next you’ll tell me that a hurricane is going to hit the East Coast sometime!

I don’t think these are stories are just made up for nothing.

So, does that mean (a) you think they are made up but with a reason behind them or that (b) you think they are made up but have lots of reasons to think so? Either way, that sentence means you don’t think they are real.

The Bible is a force for good.

No, it’s not. It calls for all sorts of moral atrocities. Sue me if I don’t think killing gays or back-talking children is really fair. Forgive me if I think wearing mixed fibers is ok. I apologize for thinking adulterers are just humans like the rest of us and should be allowed their private (no pun intended) affairs. No, the Bible is an aspiring-to-be-hopeful story forever marred by its fetid immorality.

I’ll pass, thanks!
