Stupid fundies

Post by darthdavid »

I have a friend at school who tried to claim that the bible was more truthful that wongs creationism site because it ammounted to more words. More specfically he said religion was right because the bible was thicker than a printout of part of wongs site. :roll: Well tell about the stupid fundies you've met.

If the number of words used to convey a message is the best method of determining the thruth of the message we should all become Theravada Buddhists. Tipitaka, the collection of Pali language texts which form the doctrinal foundation of Theravada Buddhism, translated in to English, is over 12 000 pages long and would fill over fifty volumes. Eat that bible. :twisted:

Get the full text of the Bible, set it to 2 point font, single space, and print it out. Then take a transcript of Wong's site, double space it, knock the font up to 36, and print it out. Show the two to your "friend", and tell him he is a fucking dumbass. Then punch him in the kidney. Tell him ol' DPDP said so.

Your fundie friend may have a point. An encyclopedia has many more words than the Bible...

The Star Wars Episode II Incredible Cross-Sections doesn't have more pages than the Bible, but I like it better anyways. With Saxton as our GOD we shall lead the charge against these silly fundies and prove to them how a mere 28 pages brought about the destruction of an entire way of life--the Trekkie!

Once they see its awe-inspiring power they will have no choice but submit to the great Lord Saxton! Ph34r teh ICS!

According to this LAUGHABLE method of determining things, our tax code is more truthful than the Holy Bible and the War and Peace combined.

Moreover, since the Book of Mormon and the Koran are both longer than the KJV, ask him why he doesn't convert to one of these more truthful versions of Christianity.

David Drake's Northworld Triology, based on Norse mythology, is 791 pages long. Does that mean the Gods of Northworld/Norse is more Godly than the King James Bible God? :lol:

But you know what? What do you think could happen if darthdavid actually did some of the things suggested in this thread and showed the evidence to his friend?

I bet his friend would come up with some lame excuse. I can imagine, "But...But that doesn't count!" could be one. BWAAHAHAHAHAA :lol:
