LOL!
I think it'll have to sell a few more copies to catch up on the 5 or 6 billion Bibles that have been printed so far.
*
And why do you think tht a nice cover-up story can not be sold so many times.*
LOL
Pragmathen thought that the death of the Egyptian was "covered up," by describing it in a book that was to be printed billions of times.
*
If it is good written everything can become a super bestseller.*
That means the Bible is the best, since it is the all-time super-extra-best-seller.
*
LotR is one of thm.*
Dream on.
*
And I hope tht "Brief History of Time" shall follow btw, vedas are a lot more interesting, just a little bit harder to read, but with ,ore truth and more facts,*
More dreaming.
*
nt speaking of tht they were written before Moses(who gathered bible from different legends and egyptian texts [the great flood is from Shumer(sp) myths) Bible is only unique with tht tht so many people fell for it*
It's unique in that any other book will have to sell a LOT of copies to catch up, and then sell a LOT more to catch up by that time, since they are printing Bibles every day.
Like you said yourself, a book would have to be good to sell a lot of copies, and no book has sold more than the Bible.
*
In fact, recent U.K. reader polls have actually ranked Lord of the Rings above the Bible in popularity.*
All I'd have to do to get a poll like that is talk to the nearest atheist group and ask which book is more popular, the Bible or the phone book.

Nope. I've seen the thirty other variations on the same theme, but not online.

I'll even give you a topic starter, if you would like to undertake a demonstration of your opinion: How are PNW Xn Conservatives too liberal?
Some NW Xn topics of politics: *
Hey, some actual interaction with tiassa!
Cool!
OK, liberal to you appears to mean Christians who let all kinds of sins slide.
Liberal to me means taking liberties with the Bible.
In any case, denying homosexuals rights, is taking liberties.
OTOH, giving them extra rights, which seems to be the current trend, is also taking liberties.
*
"God's plan for Washington State: Smaller government, low taxes, and laws based on Biblical morality."*
How horrible!!!!
Low taxes!?!?!
Who can stand for such a thing!?!?!
*
as you well know having seen it*
How am I supposed to know the
intended target?
*
On the one hand, it's discriminatory; to the other, I don't think anyone but conservative (commited?) Christians would fill those posts without issues of conscience.*
I can see how that would turn your crank backwards.
You wouldn't want rampant immorality, disease, economic problems, violence, crime, divorce, corrupt leaders and such to discriminate and affect only non-believers such as yourself.
*
what does it mean that they're too liberal when Jesus is viewed as even more liberal than they?*
Wow!
Just for starters, perhaps you should look up "cartoon," humor," "satire," etc in the dictionary.
*
You're most welcome, Tony1. I'm always happy to offer you some new perspective.*
Sure, it explains some of your foibles, given that you are in such close contact with him, thru your "goddess."
*
Such concepts, though, aren't new to the world by any means; *
Oh no, that one is quite new to the world since most people willingly submit to Satan in large numbers.
*
we all understand that you rarely give issues of God any thought--your ego is too important. *
Sure, whatever you say, tiassa.
*
Always happy to help.*
That's good to hear since I don't think you spend much time dealing with issues such as happiness.
*
Well, what would Jesus have accomplished merely reinforcing the good and ignoring the evil?*
He did spend a lot of time casting out demons for sure.
Perhaps that is something you should look into yourself, not so much casting them out as getting them cast out.
*
Goodness is a standard, Tony1. Evil is a deviation, as demonstrated by many, many Christians, yourself included.*
So even though I demonstrate evil by upholding you as an example of it, you still feel riled by my doing so?
Isn't that a sort of double standard?
It's OK to point out evil, but not in you?
