[Gidney N Cloyd]

11. That's definitely funnier that way!

6. This is obviously not really in the Bible!

Because not a single author of the books of the Bible knew the Earth was spherical.

[IrishAyes]

10. True, but liberal Christians don't take the Holy Bible as the complete, literal, inerrant word of

God anyway. There are very scholarly, devout and feminist-favorable translations and interpretations available. You might legitimately have other objections, but don't worry about fundies. They're our version of the Taliban.

14. The Greeks accepted a spherical earth about 300 B.C.

The whole everyone thought the earth was flat until Columbus is a myth. Though this might not cover early Judaism.

Still funny though.

8. Over time, back in my dating years post-divorce, I learned a few shortcuts to finding out

what a man really thought about feminism. You do know some will lie in hopes of a lay, don't you? Well, referring to the Higher Power as 'she' proved a dead giveaway. Watch for the immediate micro-expression when that first falls on their ears. You'll learn a lot. If it was somebody I didn't think would care one way or another because they might not be the least bit religious, I might smile my sweetest and ask who he liked better, Pig Boy or Gloria Steinhem? Oh, the garden paths I escaped with that ruse. Better not to start down that road in the first place.

12. Man plans, god laughs. -- usually attributed to Quran. nt

[malthaussen]

16. Interesting, I've heard it is Yiddish...

"If you want to make god laugh, make plans."

Ah, well, one Semite is like another.

13. my preferred response is ...

God is coming,

[raven mad]

15. Please be on notice:

I am stealing this! And I know JUST who to send it to!

[awoke_in_2003]

17. I am an atheist...

but when I did believe I thought that, since we are made in his image, he must be a smart ass. So, this makes me laugh.
