The true harvest of my life is intangible...a little stardust caught,a portion of the rainbow I have clutched -Thoreau
Dear (possible) lord in (what may or may not be) heaven, please kill this thread, in your (debatably) infinite mercy I pray.
Strike it dead so that your believers stop posting nonsense about ribs and trees and thereby embarrassing your Holy Name (if you have one).
Crush this thread under your mighty heel (if within your power) so that the unbelievers stop trying to reason others out of unreasonable positions and wasting precious hours in which (I suspect) they should be working.
Make this thread as lifeless and barren as Sodom and Gomorrah after your terrible justice (assuming you did any such thing).
Brothers and sisters, can I get an 'Amen"?
Most wood decomposes before it can petrify. However, some fossils about that old HAVE been found. Not George Burns but...if the earth was as old as they say they would have found trees that old... The oldest tree they have found to date is a little over 4000 years, so where are all the 60.000.000 year old trees? --bishopj

EXCELLENT, Iceage! AMEN! AMEN! and AMEN!Dear (possible) lord in (what may or may not be) heaven, please kill this thread, in your (debatably) infinite mercy I pray.

It has been proven that Hell is cooler than Heavan.....
HEAVEN IS HOTTER THAN HELL
The temperature of heaven can be rather accurately computed. Our authority is the Bible, Isaiah 30:26 reads,
Moreover, the light of the moon shall be as the light of the sun and the light of the sun shall be sevenfold as the light of seven days.Thus, heaven receives from the moon as much radiation as the earth does from the sun, and in addition seven times seven (forty nine) times as much as the earth does from the sun, or fifty times in all. The light we receive from the moon is one ten-thousandth of the light we receive from the sun, so we can ignore that. With these data we can compute the temperature of heaven: The radiation falling on heaven will heat it to the point where the heat lost by radiation is just equal to the heat received by radiation. In other words, heaven loses fifty times as much heat as the earth by radiation. Using the Stefan-Boltzmann fourth power law for radiation
(H/E)4 = 50
where E is the absolute temperature of the earth, 300°K (273+27). This gives H the absolute temperature of heaven, as 798° absolute (525°C).
The exact temperature of hell cannot be computed but it must be less than 444.6°C, the temperature at which brimstone or sulfur changes from a liquid to a gas. Revelations 21:8: But the fearful and unbelieving... shall have their part in the lake which burneth with fire and brimstone." A lake of molten brimstone [sulfur] means that its temperature must be at or below the boiling point, which is 444.6°C. (Above that point, it would be a vapor, not a lake.) We have then, temperature of heaven, 525°C. Temperature of hell, less than 445°C. Therefore heaven is hotter than hell.
Love people and use things; never the reverse.
Mt. Katahdin would be a lot quicker to climb if its darn access trail didn't start all the way down in Georgia.

If you check the number of posts JustaTouron has you'll see that they equal 666, the number of the beast! Is this just a coincidence? I think not!JustaTouron-"HEAVEN IS HOTTER THAN HELL..."
Perhaps JustaTouron has inside information on the temperature of Hell.

Hahahahaha! Wow. Nice timing!
I know thia thread is long but I thought this would be a good place to post this, I just found this out from my wife. This is a true story.
A friend of a friend of ours we attend church with has a son with down syndrome and he is an adult, I'm not sure his mental age but she will leave him home alone at times to run errands.
After doing this last week she returned home, her son met her at the door and explained, "Mom I have just caught a troll". The mom said what do you mean you have just caught a troll? He said I have it in my bedroom. They proceeded to his bedroom, all the furniture had been moved in front of the closet door. When they removed the furniture and opened the door out came a Jehovah Witness, not just any Jehovah Witness but a midget. Of course the mom let him go and there were no hard feelings. Perhaps he should bring someone with him next time for protection.
Detour
I thought the punch line would have something to do with message boards.
thats story made me chuckle

I don't have a problem with these folk wanting to be chaplains on the trail. It looks like they work very hard and are tyring to be helpful to others. The idea of "serving" and being a "servant" to oters come across real clear. I very much doubt that these particular folk are obnoxious in their "witness".
On the other hand I have had to listen to a lot of foul language, dirty language, dirty stories by "unbelievers" who are not courteous at all. Go figure.
