TET 85: Postin' too fast? That's a paddlin'

[Modioperandi]

Well, I have to be up at 6:45am to be at a job fair at 8am... so nite folks.

I gotta go in to work an hour before your interview... I feel your pain. Night.

[Lies and Ignorance]

Such is the point, my dear.


Where was I taking it seriously, though?

That is a very good question

But now you see my gripe at people when they say "Oh no! Genesis 1 is how the world came into being!" I'm like "no, dude, fuck off. Alright, that's how MAYBE things may have happened in an ordered universe, but still, no, bad idea, bad analogy, and no it didn't happen in 7 literal days".

And I am still trying to figure out myself which calendar type did they use to figure out for certain humans 900 fucking years

We totally agree the majority of the time, so I'm confused as to why we're always shouting at each other.

"GENESIS IS FUCKING SILLY, MAN!"
"FUCK YOU! IT DOESN'T MAKE ANY SENSE AS A HISTORICAL ACCOUNT!"

That happened to me in English class the other day.
Both sides of the debate thought we were arguing.
And then the teacher pointed out that we were arguing the same side.
It was confusing.

Revelations, as far as history goes, are nothing but letters sent to other congregations in an encrypted fashion. Take them as the first attempts at cryptography, but otherwise their very contents may be worthless *shrug*

So basically a collaborative fanfiction.

Fanfiction would be different.

These were serious letters which had nothing to do at all with fanfiction. Of course, since they are in English, and we don't know the decoding of the letters, they are worthless to us. However, this is exactly what the Christians wanted to make believe the Romans, that they were just collaborative fanfiction and worthless.

It's like Newton's book "Principiae"; it laid out his laws of thermodynamics for the layman, but it laid out an entire philosophy that was only obvious for the people who were in his circle of readers and philosophers.

That's my business class on a daily basis.

[Modioperandi]

Nah. I feel terrible right now.

That sucks. Hope you'll feel better soon then.

I do to. I just puked my guts out a minute ago.

We both had some wonderful points, though.

Hi all.

[Stern des Meeres]

Hi all.

I was wondering when you'd show up.

[Soldati Senza Confini]

You brought out a very interesting point. We do agree a lot, but we always end up discussing HOW bad are things in degrees of bad, because we both agree on it. So basically, we just don't find anything to argue about but about how much things sucked.

Really? I thought you lived in Georgia where it's 11:22 PM.

[New Maldorainia]

Hi all.

I was wondering when you'd show up.

Just got home from the animal emergency hospital.

[Modioperandi]

Hi all.

Hey. What's up with you?

[The Scientific States]

Hi all.

Hey Maldo.

How's life?

Oh my.

[Stern des Meeres]

Mm. From Georgia, not currently living there. I've moved around a lot.
I'm in the central time zone now.

The time for sleep can wait. For now, we post..

It's happened to me on a number of occasions as well, even on this forum.

I remember there was a time in the Jewish thread where I stated an opinion of some sort, to be quickly "corrected" by another poster - who basically just rephrased what I said. It was jarring.

[The Scientific States]

Hey everyone!

Hey.

Hey Ian.

What've you been up to?
