I think you just coughed up your funny bone. appreciate you sacrificing your body parts

 

Oh my goodness....this is hardly a modern paradox, and it is a conundrum that many theists over the centuries have tried hard to resolve; and which is inherently unresolvable, even if one assumes that the claims made by all three Abrahamic traditions are to be taken seriously. I put this paradox in the class of "how many angels can stand on a pinhead" kind of theological speculation.

Although the meme's target seems to be directed at Muslims, the same rhetoric could equally be directed at Orthodox Jews; which may be no great deal to some Christians I suppose; (as they have mostly jettisoned selective Levitical laws) though accusations of anti-Semitic sentiment would most probably have stronger sympathy for the Hassidim than might be the case with Muslims.


Rational Islam? - Letters to a Muslim: Noah's Ark- is the Qur'an more believable than the Bible?

The claims of conflicting the accounts of Noah's Ark in the Tanakh, The Christian Bible, and the Qu'ran can be explained by the Noah story as myth, rather than actual, factual historical events; with each tradition adapting and fashioning their different versions of the story accordingly. If David Attenborough had been alive then as one of the co-authors....possibly a quite different narrative might have emerged to explain the diversity of life on earth....then again, he might have been just as ignorant of animal origins and behaviour as any of his primitive goat herding contemporaries.

And now for something different (fun)

 

(Ok - The original Ferris Wheel was designed and constructed by George Washington Gale Ferris, Jr. as a landmark for the 1893 World's Columbian Exposition in Chicago. The term Ferris wheel is used generically for all such structures, which are now the most common type of amusement ride at state fairs in the United States)

 

IF you live thru it that is.....

 

I see these back window 'lookatmeee' icons so often, I sometimes wish...you know

 

fun weather pic of the day.

 

It's also a way to keep a fence square.

3 feet x 4 feet x 5 feet gives you a true square corner for your new fence line for that cross fence you need to build. Used in case if it is not staked by a surveyor.

 

Right triangles, left triangles - there is politics in everything these days....

 

yep...both right and left triangles can be either acute or obtuse, depending upon whether one favours right or left triangles. I try and be an equilateral triangle...which often means I cop abuse from triangles of both the right and left kind.
