Discuss.
This is one of the things I don’t get. The “bible” is completely full of bullshit like this. The thumpers might as well be worshiping a goddamn phone book.
Oh, but that would run counter to their philosophy of putting bullshit ahead of facts when forming a belief system for themselves.
I think it’s clear. Being a parent causes you to age at an accelerated rate, like in dog-years. (Or maybe it’s just that once you have a son, you lose the ability to count correctly. )
…and died at the age of six hundred.
Maybe the PUTZ, our very own Christian sociopath, can explain why an old testament goat herder lives to 600 and we’re lucky to get to 80.
@2,
No, No, No.
The Bible is accurate. Ask the PUTZ.
Also…
The universe is 6000 years old.
Evolution is wrong.
Just think, Obamacare is going to wreck all that longevity.
Gman, you’re probably right about that. Taking care of the sick and infirm is very unchristian and will cause the PUTZ’s God to turn away from us.
What I like is that they could count to 600 without a zero.
Sheesh! Who wants to live to be 600?
Works the same way with rabbits. If you have only one rabbit not much happens. Two rabbits is as good as a billion.
@3 They didn’t have birth certificates in those days. Republicans loved living in 4000 BC cuz no one could refute the birthers.
I just frustrated by the picking and choosing they do with the bible. The bible is absolute, unless it applies to them and is inconvenient and then in it’s ignored.
Gay = bad.
Divorce, Shellfish, stoning your kids if they act up = ignored.
BUTTPUTTY doesn’t have any problems with pedophile and money changer clergy. Why is that?
Almost makes you feel sorry for poor Nahor because he died so young.
If pornography means an ordinate obsession with someone else’s private affairs, the obsession with the Jew’s family histories is rather depraved.
Pornography might be a name for this part of the “bible”
