That, and you said "smotes".

I know, I wasn't thinking straight, but when I'm typing fast using the 2 finger method, it happens.

The 2 finger method? Sounds kinky...

Book of revelations is a bunch of nonsense. There was a show on History Channel that debunked the whole thing. Town on the seven hills was Rome. Armageddon is actually a place in Jerusalem (Har Megiddo) where shitloads of battles were fought. Nero was 666 (or is it 616?)

I was actually going to go into that, and that's what I meant when I said "symbolic". I hate it when people say that 666 meant some microchip tying us the government, there is NO basis for that.

There was also a show on the history that supposedly used science to prove how the Jews could've cross the Red Sea. There was one guy who used a leaf blower to expose a raised portion of rock, and another said that an enormous tsunami exposed enough land to be crossed, and it later crashed on Egypt's army.

Both of those are also a bunch of nonsense. I take a lot of History Channel shows with a grain of salt.

^A lot of it is biased towards Christianity, like all those shows about Jesus's life they show around Easter and Christmas.

Jesus is fucking doomed
His death is coming soon
This time he will not rise
Well make sure he fucking dies
Doomed Doomed Jesus is Doomed
Destroy the Holy Ghost
The one we hate the most
Enjoy eternal life
With out Jesus Christ
Doomed Doomed Jesus is Doomed

There is also "evidence" for the global flood, which apparently no one noticed except a small tribe in the middle east.

 

[zoidberg]

you know 1000 years after star wars chances are noone believed in Luke, or a weapon that could destroy a planet. just throwing that out there.

Nice.

I need to look up the lyrics for that Ministry song "Psalm 69", there's audio clips in the song of a preacher saying "Praise Je-Sus" and then someone yells out "Liar". And they talk about eating up the Holy Ghost in that song I think.

Not so; the "great deluge" is a common fixture in a few ancient mythologies, the Biblical one is just the most well-known.

Venom - Heavens On Fire


You think your soul is nice
you've lived in paradise
so now you take the stand
you want to hold your masters hand
you think your soul is free
look up and you'll see me
the pearly gates ablaze
the angels bear the zombies gaze
[chorus:]
heavens on fire
and there ain't nothing you can do
heavens on fire
and when you die you'll go there too
the angel's life their death
no there ain't nothing left
the clowns of God despise
but torment renders no disguise
the skies a blazing tomb
plenty sorrow plenty doom
they hattle living sin
the souls of God can't hate to win
[chorus:]
if God is so almighty
they why is he enslaved
in heavens hell by satan
the universe his slave
satan rides the skies
look up you'll see his eyes
disguised as endless stars
to keep an eye on endless wars
do you believe in God
he's chained up like a dog
and every hour he screams
satan rules supreme

^Blasphemy can be fun!!! I'm sure a few Venom records got broke by some angry parents a long time ago, who had made Satanic lyruics before Venom anyways?

 

[zabu of nΩd]

I love that song. All except for Cronos's god-awful, cheesy-beyond-belief roar/laugh at the beginning.

Thanks for the info, I was somewhat mistaken. Even so, it is clear that God did not flood the entire Earth killing everyone except some guy and a boat. And even if there were some sort of global increase in water levels, there is no evidence it was divinely influenced.
