Allow me to introduce you to a new bimodal probability distribution. The two modes are tagged "Slim" and "None", and "Slim" just left town. This is the function that describes the probablity that your dick will ever be close enough to my mouth to be slapped out of it.

That's possibly the lamest backpedal I've ever heard. Don't struggle--that's quicksand you're in.

It may be funny, but she's wrong. You're wrong. I'm wrong. We're all wrong. We can only hope to be as cool as Radar...he's going to lead a one-man revolution.

Cairo, I'm feeling the tug of conscience for some cheap shots I've lobbed toward you. It was bad form on my part to go personal and I appologize.
You do push my buttons.

Oh, I understood what you said, basically you said that interpretation of God's words and will are fine...even though The Bible forbids interpretation and demands TRANSLATION.

Revelation, 22:18 and 19
"For I testify unto every man that heareth the words of the prophecy of this book, If any man shall add unto these things, God shall add unto him the plagues that are written in this book:
And if any man shall take away from the words of the book of the prophecy, God shall take away his part out of the book of life, and out of the Holy city, and from the things which are written in this book."

See? Interpretation is a lawyers term used to add to and subtract from the truth to get the guilty off the hook. If you don't know the difference between interpretation and translation, you happen to be part of the problem.

Radar,
I've already proven existence of Historical remains found by scientists, and our Founding Fathers agreed that the 10 Commandments are instructions by God...Proving that God's words and will as written in the book of prophecy is true, is proving that God exists.

BTW, I'm not Christian.

To get this verse required translation. Which in itself requires interpretation? Why becuase all languages have different words, these words mean different things. Some languages just don't contain a word that means the same as another word in another language. Therefore it is up to the translator to come up with the best choice of words that carry the same meaning. This means that sometimes meaning can be changed. Why? Humans make mistakes.

Translate a phrase to another language and back again using an online translator of some sort, the words don't come out right, there is different grammar, phrases that make no sense. When a human does this they take the time to rephrase the language so it makes sense, and through this interpretation meanings change.

warch,
I'm always happy to inform...even if it is a different subject altogether. The important thing is knowledge...knowledge is power.

So, you really disagree "wholeheartedly" with me when I say that our schools should teach FACTS only, and leave the "feel good" opinions alone.

I've already had to deprogram my son(7 years old) when he came home from school devastated that the world was going to end because loggers cut down trees!!!! Upsetting and distressing my son with their agenda-driven OPINIONS, and the fact that I teach him reading, writing, and math because their too busy with homosexuality, trees, recycling, and condoms! When a child graduates from High School unable to fill out an application and not well-rounded...it's time to scrap the Social(ism) experiment!

Hey warch, good debate pushes buttons because when the arguments make sense they threaten our views.
If the argument doesn't push your buttons it's because it makes no sense and is not a threat.
Don't worry, I've been called a lot worse by a lot more threatened.
