Graeme Jones' Aliens in the Bible thread

[Mr Minder]

Wow... Graeme is just almost as arrogant as DJ... almost.

This one is more cute than dangerous to anyone's faith. Seriously, not even a junior Christian would fall for Graeme's arguments - and if he/she did, they would eventually be repelled by his glory-hog self-image.

[jpholding]

ooh JPH, I think you found something that will keep the kids interests for a little. At least till Christmas.

Amazingly, he may just beat out stevec as TWeb Platinum n00b.

I think you are right.

Did anyone get past the whole Jesus fed 5000 with fish = Christianity is based on horoscopes part with a straight face?

My eyes bugged out of my head when I read that. I thought, "Surely this guy can't be serious!" Then I realized he probably is, which made it even funnier.

[Chaotic Void]

Say, G_J2.... How you are you?

Just curious.

I'm yearning for the dude's return. This stuff is comedy gold.

Say, G_J2.... How you are you?

Just curious.

I'm guessing he's 100% himself.

Even my tremendous pessimism about humanity won't allow me just yet to believe that you're honestly this oblivious.

well you wouldn't like my arguments would you - you're a christian.

provide the actual Greek words used in Peter's letter

Well they wouldn't be original, would they, as peter wrote it an aramaic (as i have already proved) And I thought that most christians admit that you don't have the originals so we don't know what theysaid.

If I might interject, the Bible translation I have in front of me doesn't use the term "alien" there.

Have we just discovered a contradiction in the bible?

The host of that show is not a scholar

Ah - but i bet they had scholars in the bbc research department that invented the questions. If you don't believe me look here and here. Wikipedia says 'Although most of the facts presented on the show are correct,' so most of those facts he gave must be correct if you see what I mean.

despite being regularly refuted

it's not been refuted in any of the books I've read.

Jesus feeding 5000+ people has nothing to do with Pisces

prove it. Or are you saying fish have nothing to do with pisces? Maybe fish is not an important part of the story of the feeding of the 5000. Have you seen Zeiteist the Moie?

when the Bible does not claim to be scientifically accurate

you were the ones who admitted that it was scientifically inaccurate

You just gave me proof.

when? you must be thinking of someone else. Could you share this proof with us?

What is the difference between genes and chromosomes?

A gene is a locatable region of genomic sequence, corresponding to a unit of inheritance, which is associated with regulatory regions, transcribed regions and/or other functional sequence regions. Chromosomes are the organized form of DNA found in cells.

I'm asking if you've ever heard of him or his work

and I said read this You see, you don't have to know about something to know it isn't true.

Why are fire engines red?

because fire is red and so people see a red lorry and think 'fire' I'm not sure what that question has to do with jesus.

Surely this guy can't be serious!

Clearly I'm not alone as it was on zeitgeist. Richard Dawkins often gets asked why francis collins believes in god if science is incompatible with religion. In the same spirit I'd like to ask why so many people on the internet believe zeitgeistis is compatible with reality if it is not. Got you there.

How you are you?

I don't understand the question.

O.K - here's a new argument to get you going:
As you know, before jesus told us to love god with all our heart (whoops), soul (which doesn't exists, our thoughts are just electrical signals in our brains as scientists have proven), mind and strength, but before it he told people to love their neighbour...but jesus meant your fellow jew. One scholar puts it, 'Jesus limited his in-group of his saved strictly to jews' God Delusion, paperback edition page 288 As you not jews none of you can be christians. Sorry to bring you the bad news.

Oops, someone edited the Wikipedia article to say, "It's rumored that the host of the show has flying blue monkeys come out of my butt every alternate Thursday at 12:05 AM CST." It must be true.

[LilPunkishOfTerror]

Graeme, didn't Jesus feed the 5,000 with loaves as well as fishes? Which astrological symbol does bread relate to?

Oh, and sorry to disappoint you, but Richard Dawkins is a biologist. He's not in a position to comment on the bible.

No it doesn't - i've just checked

Which astrological symbol does bread relate to?

"The significance of Bethlehem is another play on words. In Hebrew, “Bethlehem” means house of bread. As the picture of Virgo shows in the picture above, Virgo is holding stalks of grain. It symbolizes Mary in the house of bread. "(click here for source) It was also mentioned on Zeitgeist

[lilpixieofterror]

No it doesn't - i've just checked

I see you didn't understand what he said. Let my try to explain this to you so that your tiny brain may begin to understand it... let us start with this question. Who can edit Wikipedia?

[historic salve]

No it doesn't - i've just checked

It doesn't anymore. Someone edited it back. But the fact stands that it did at one time. It must be true that the host of the show has blue monkeys flying out of his butt.

(Whoever was dastardly enough to edit the article forgot to mention that they were invisible blue monkeys).

I don't think he understands that anybody can edit wikipedia and thus you shouldn't use it for your primary source of information.

Nonsense, I learned everything I know about invisible blue monkeys from Wikipedia.

Excuse me, why do you think this linked site has any authority in biblical studies? I see that the quote refers to the BIRTH of Jesus (it's from a section about the Nativity)- not the feeding of the 5,000. Try again.

(They also seem to think that Orion plays the part of the Son of man in the gospels!!! )
